Hi, I'm a huge fan of the Submissive series and I've almost made it my bible. I can't wait for the new ones to come out, but I'm a little worried they may resemble the 50 Shades relationship? Abby and Nathaniel's relationship is much healthier than the one in 50 Shades, I think, and I was just wondering if the healthy romance and love is going to continue, even in stressful times?

Hey Kylie! Thanks for the great question! I have to be honest and tell you I haven't read 50 Shades, so I can't speak toward any similarities.
I will say that my number one pet peeve when I'm reading is when a character acts out of character. You know how it is, you've been reading a series for five books and all of a sudden one of the characters does something and you KNOW they would never really do that. Since that's such a big pet peeve of mine, I work hard to ensure my characters remain true to who they are.
So, while Nathaniel and Abby will face stressful times, you will still recognize them and their relationship. It's still healthy (trust me, Abby has no problem speaking her mind) and Nathaniel is still madly, deeply, and crazy in love with her. But there's an intensity in a forever committed couple and I think that's worth exploring.
I hope you enjoy the books to come!

I'm an original fan of The Submissive series and am so glad to see these books continuing. But! I'm a little nervous to read, The Enticement. Abby and Nathaniel have already established their happily ever after and now troubles a stirring? Should your fans be worried about their relationship? Also, do you know how many are planned for the series?
