(18+)

1. I want my readers to know that this book is the first one in the De La Cruz Saga. The De La Cruz Saga is a romantic thriller (with several erotic moments).

 

The first novel is Hot & Spicy. This novel is about Jose Enrique De La Cruz. He is the eldest of the thirteen cousins.

The saga takes place in California. Each novel is about one of cousin's unique love story. The Mexican traditions are strong in the De La Cruz family and the cousins struggle to honor their customs.

The De La Cruz family encounters conflict and threats from the Mexican cartel. The De La Cruz cousins fight to stay true to their integrity and beliefs in their struggle with the Mexican cartel. The family is assisted by the Navy Seals, FBI, and other government agencies. The De La Cruz's must overcome heartaches and obstacles before achieving their happy ending. 

 

These novels are written in Spanglish (very, very light Spanglish). The glossary is located in the back of the book. I believe it is an enjoyable and easy method to learn basic Spanish. 

 

2. A blurb from my book - 

 

First blurb -

 

Chapter Seven 

Jose Enrique sits at the conference table waiting for his novia to

show up. I just want to be here before they do so I can take a good

look at her before they realize I’m here. I have a good feeling about

this. I have been endeavoring to remember Paty’s amigas from

high school. I don’t recall any of them coming over to la casa. Paty

is right. I never paid attention to them. I was too busy studying,

going to school, y assisting on mi free time at la familia’s company.

I have faith in Paty. Paty says mi novia is hermosa, smart, y muy

sexy.

Paty y Jessy are laughing as they enter the conference room.

Jessy steps into the cuarto first. Oh dios mio, Jose Enrique is

waiting. He looks hotter than ever before. Mi corazon will not stop

pounding. Mi chest, it’s going to explode. I’m going to die. I’m going

to stop breathing.

Take a deep breath, stay calm. I need to be professional,

sophisticated, y sexy. Yeah, right! Geez! Smile and greet him. I

need to put mi portfolio on the desk and be ready for his greetings,

thought Jessy. Take control. Don’t tremble y definitely do not

sweat. Okay, I can do this. Smile.

Jose Enrique observes his novia enter the cuarto first. Dios

mio, Wow! Gracias dios mio. It’s the bella chica that I saw at the

club on Friday. I do owe Paty big, big time. Smiling, Jose Enrique

approaches his novia reaching out to enfold her in a tight hug.

“Hola, novia mia,” Jose Enrique said proceeding to give her

a beso.

What is he doing? He is kissing me! Relax. Return his beso,

thought Jessy.

Jose Enrique almost releases her when he feels her tremble

y stiffens. He is about to step back and release her when he

feels her relax. Dios mio, I have never felt so much attraction in a

simple beso. Her lips are so soft y silky. She tastes like heaven.

She’s trembling. Hmmm maybe I am scaring her. I should stop this

beso. Jose Enrique feels her melting into him as she parts her

lips inviting him to deepen the beso.

Jose Enrique did not stop to think. He takes full advantage

softly entering her mouth to explore every sweet inch. She feels

so good. She feels like she is made especially para me.

Jose Enrique feels her brazos creep up around his neck. She

is responding to his beso. He feels her tongue slipping slowly past

his lips deepening his beso. He then hears her moan.

Jessy lost track of time y forgot all about Paty. I cannot think.

Oh dios mio, I have dreamt of Jose Enrique’s besos forever. He

is so hot y sexy. I always knew he would smell scrumptious. He

smells like spice and sandalwood. He tastes better than I could

ever image. I need to get closer to him. Jessy takes a step closer

rising up on tiptoes. I need more of him, thought Jessy.

Okay, this has to stop, thought Paty. They forgot all about me

y the meeting. Jose Enrique doesn’t even remember her. Great!

This is getting out of hand.

Walking over to the desk, Paty slams down her file on the

desk hoping to get a reaction. I cannot believe this. They didn’t

even react.

“Well, hello! You two need to stop! Okay, we have a meeting!”

yells Paty.

Jose Enrique y Jessy step back but didn’t release each other

from their embrace. They are intensely contemplating each other’s

ojos, reflecting on the amazing passion y physical attraction

that they just experience. It is so unexpected that they were

stunned.

I cannot believe it. It is the bella chica from the club from

last Friday night. Her ojos are unbelievable, y they really glow.

Right now I can see in her lindo ojos the passion y pleasure that

exploded, threatening to escape our control. Thanks to Paty I was

able to stop.

Jose Enrique is amazing. He really is spicy and hot like I

always imagined. I have never, ever, responded to a simple beso

with so much passion. Si, I have kissed other chicos. Not one of

the chicos that I have kissed has ever caused this type reaction.

Si, of course, I have never kissed in front of an audience. Paty is

mi best amiga, but still, geez. I did not even care. I really forgot

where I was, and who was here. Look at his incredible green ojos.

I can see the burning passion y astonishment in his ojos. Oh, I’m

genuinely in love. Definitely he is todo mio. Jose Enrique only

doesn’t realize it now.

“Uh, okay you two it’s time for the introductions. Especially

since we skipped first base y ran right into second base,” said

Paty, looking at her best amiga y hermano with amusement.

I always knew it. I knew en mi corazon that they are right for

each other. It was only a matter of time until they met y fell in love.

I really think that Jessy is in love y has always loved Jose Enrique.

I know Jose Enrique will fall in love with Jessy. No problema.

He pulls away from the embrace but he continues to hold

Jessy’s right mano, Jose Enrique introduces himself. “Jose

Enrique De La Cruz,” he said with a huge feliz smile as he

bends over Jessy’s mano placing a warm beso on the back of her

wrist.

“Hola, Jessica Maria Cortez!” said Jessy with a smile. “You

can call me, mi amor,” said Jessy with a mischievous twinkle in

huge golden ojos.

 

Releasing Jessy’s mano, Jose Enrique moves around to pull

out a chair for Jessy, the one right next to him on his right side.

Jessy sits down looking at him. He pulls a chair for Paty on his

left side.

“It is a pleasure to finally meet you, mi amor,” said Jose

Enrique with a very wicked smile. “You know mi bella novia you

can call me, mi vida.”

 

Paty simply observes them rolling her ojos up shaking her

cabeza. Oh dios mio, are they ever going to stop? Maybe I should

leave.

 

“Mi amor, I will like to apologize for not remembering you. Paty

is right I was always busy y I didn’t realize that Paty had such a

bella amiga. Can you please forgive me?” asks Jose Enrique with

a sincere hopeful look.

 

Jessy looks into he’s ojos. I cannot believe it. Jose Enrique

is finally noticing me. “Mi vida, I know you were always busy. I

was just a wimpy niña with braces, so don’t worry about it,” said

Jessy. “I never lost hope, mi vida,” she grins at him.

“Mi amor estoy muy feliz that you didn’t give up on me,” said

Jose Enrique with a sincere smile looking into her ojos. Damn,

she is serious. How did I ever overlook her?

 

“Nunca,” said Jessy in a breathless voz looking at Jose

Enrique’s incredible green ojos.

 

“You know, mi amor, I think that I saw you at the club last

Friday night. You were there with some of tu amigas. I was going

to approach you to ask you to dance, when mis primos show up

interrupting me. Then when I turned to go to invite you to dance,

you were gone. This made me real mad at mis primos,” said Jose

Enrique smiling at Jessy. I never dreamed that la chica of mis

dreams is mi novia, thought Jose Enrique.

 

“Really you were there Friday night? I had to leave early

because I promise mi mama y hermana that I would go with

them shopping on Saturday morning,” said Jessy, smiling at Jose

Enrique with felicidad.

 

“Oh, what did you get? I hope that you bought some sexy

outfits to wear when we go out?” asks Jose Enrique in a flirty

teasing voz.

Another small excerpt 

 

Chapter Fifty-Seven

 

The chica returns and advises Carlos. “Sorry but there were 

only two mujers in el cuarto de mujers.”

 

Carlos’s corazon starts to pound  harder, making it hard to

breathe. He thanks la chica. “Gracias.” turns to go to advise Jose

Enrique y Greg.

 

“No estan en el cuarto de mujers,” said Carlos, taking deep

breaths. “We need to get security to assist us in searching for

them in the club.”

 

“Si,” said Greg, starting to turn to locate where the security

is.

 

A waiter approaches Jose Enrique with a cerveza and note.

“Señor De La Cruz?” asks the waiter, waiting for a response from

Jose Enrique.

 

Jose Enrique looks at the waiter and cerveza, wondering what

is up with this. “Si, soy De La Cruz,” he responds, waiting for the

waiter to enlighten him.

 

“Si, this cerveza is sent over by el caballero at the bar with

this note,” said the waiter, turning to indicate which hombre sent

the cerveza y note.

 

The waiter cannot see the caballero, turns to Jose Enrique

with a small unsure smile. “El caballero is not there anymore,”

he said, handing over the tray to Jose Enrique.

 

Jose Enrique is looking at the bar and cannot see any caballero

and is getting really anxious. He looks at Greg and Carlos that

indicate to take the note.

 

“Jose Enrique, read the damn note,” said Carlos with

frustration and anxiety.

 

Greg is very scared, anxious, and knows that something

awful has happen to his baby. He quickly starts to ask the waiter

questions on what the guey looks like.

 

“Tell us how this guey looks like,” demands Greg with

controlled fury.

 

The waiter is getting scared by how furious and frustrated

they look. “He is tall, dark, and looks mean,” said the waiter,

starting to back away from them.

 

“Did you ever see him in the club before?” asks Greg, watching

the waiter real close. “How long have you worked here?”

 

“Si, I have worked here for over dos años, and no I have never

seen that hombre before,” said the waiter, starting to get pale.

Este hombre looks ready to kill me and I don’t know what’s

going on, thought the waiter. “Señor el hombre asked me to bring

el Señor De La Cruz esta cerveza y nota.”

 

Greg can see that the waiter is starting to get scared. He most

likely didn’t know or ever seen the guey, thought Greg. “I need

you to give mi your full name and number,” he requests in an

authoritative voz. Greg wants to have the intel in case they need

to talk to him again.

 

“Si,” said the waiter, scared and anxious to get away from

Greg. Estos hombres estan muy enojado’s y no si por qué, thought

the waiter, starting to sweat.

 

“Jose Enrique, tell us what the damn nota dice!” demands

Carlos with frustration, looking at Jose Enrique grow pale and

scared.

 

Jose Enrique looks up with fear and anger in his ojos. “They

took our mujers!” he shouts out in horror, frustration, and rage,

looking around to see if he can see the guey that sent him the

note.

 

Carlos takes the note away from Jose Enrique’s mano in

frustration, not understanding what he meant. He reads the note

aloud so Greg can hear.

 

“De La Cruz, we have your tesoros, y you will get them

back when you agree to work with El Mextli el Rey de Baja

California.”

 

Carlos lets out an anguished yell almost falling to his knees

with the intense pain that he feels when he realizes that the

cartel has his baby.

 

Greg turns and smashes his fist into the wall, yelling out in

pain not believing that his Bella is in the ruthless manos of the

cartel.

 

He is shaking with rage, looking for the waiter and going to

him. “You will give me all the details that you can remember

now,” he demands in a forceful and angry voz, pulling the waiter

outside to get all the details.

Carlos follows Greg, pulling Jose Enrique along to hear all

the details.

 

“Now tell us everything that you can remember about the

guey that gave you the nota,” demands Greg with fury, trying to

not take out his anger and frustration on the waiter.

 

“I told you that it’s the first time that I saw him in the club.

He is tall, dark, and is wearing black shirt and pants. He has

straight long black pelo to his shoulders and has a tattoo on his

left forearm that looks like an Azteca Indian,” said the waiter,

trembling with fear.

 

The waiter looks at these strong tall intense-looking hombres

and is scared for his life. It looks like someone is playing with

these hombres, and I don’t want anything to do with it. Dios mio,

help, I don’t know what’s going on.

 

“Okay, pero you better be available if I need any additional

information. Here’s mi number if you see the guey in here, if

you recall anything, anything at all,” said Greg, looking at the

waiter, memorizing his cara. “Don’t try in hiding because I will

find you.”

 

“Si,” said the waiter, trembling and ready to run back to work

before they change their minds and start to beat him.

 

“You better not disappear because we will find you,” said

Carlos, looking at his license that he withdrew from his wallet

handing it over to Greg to write down his information.

 

“No, I will be available,” said the waiter, waiting for his

wallet.

 

“Here,” said Greg shoving his wallet back to him and pushing

him forward in the path to the club.

 

“What are we going to do? I don’t want the cartel to hurt our

mujers. If we call the police they might hurt them,” said Jose

Enrique, starting to panic.

3. Writing process.

 

It all began with a dream. I dreamed my story over and over again. I decided to write this novel after several weeks of dreaming about all of these characters. 

I started brainstorming and organizing it into outlines.

I developed each character’s personalities, interests, and personal love story.

I kept on track and was able to create cohesive plots by using a calendar as a timeline.  I want to write feasible and believable stories that evolve around events that are transpiring in each cousin’s life in the same period of time.

 

4. My biggest challenge has been the marketing of my novel. I’m learning and thoroughly enjoying promoting, meeting interesting people, and blogging. I truly wish I had started to write earlier in my life.

 

5. The project I’m currently working on is Hot & Forbidden.

Hot & Forbidden is about two of the cousins falling in love. The forbidden is always enticing. How do Nicolas and Daniella deal with their forbidden love? Why is their love forbidden? How can they overcome the obstacles without losing their love? La familia has a secret. Can this be the key that will set their love free? Hot & Forbidden will be available in a few months.

Hot & Enchanting will be available at the end of the year or the beginning of 2013.

I also have the additional ten novels almost finished. I wrote each one as I progressed in writing Hot & Spicy. These novels interlock and evolve in the same period of time in each cousin’s life

 

6. I want you to know that I have always dreamed of writing since I was young. I'm a new author. I love writing and I'm extremely happy to be achieving my dream.

I'm married, have three children, and three grandchildren. My family is my pride and joy. I love spending quality time with my family and friends.

I love to read romance and paranormal books.
