About the author
D.W. Cee
29 books111 followersI started writing back in Dec of 2009 after I saw an interview with Stephenie Meyers. She told Oprah that she always had stories in her head and that struck a chord with me. Whenever I drive, I have all kinds of stories circulating in my mind. Generally, I am the star of this story and many wacky things happen. Of course, I make the story quite complimentary and beneficial to me. I guess you could say Meyers channeled my head case into a novel.
I am first a wife and a mother, as well as a restauranteur and a caterer. Writing is my last profession and a late-found one. I have a B.A. and an M.Ed from UCLA (yes, just like Emily) and taught 1st grade for four years till I had my first child, a son. Two years later, I had my daughter and the two kids ran my life till they both started school. My husband and I opened a restaurant in LA when we first got married and have been in the food service industry for almost 17 years.
I think I’ve always been a foodie at heart and though it sounds strange, loving food did not have anything to do with opening up a restaurant. That was all my husband’s idea. I didn’t even know I could cook till I got married. And then I discovered, I love cooking! I love everything related to food. Eating, first, cooking second, cleaning a definite last. I could do without the cleaning from the prep work and the mound of dishes created after a meal. But, that’s a whole other blog in and of itself. Whenever we plan a family trip, and especially when my husband and I go on a couple’s trip, it’s based around what we want to eat, or which restaurants we want to visit. Hubby and I did a trip to Austin one summer just to eat BBQ. The trip to Rome was for pasta, Tokyo was for ramen and sushi, and in Paris, we gorged on treats from all the beautiful patisseries. The two best meals of my life were at Taillevent and Joel Robuchon in Paris (I am amending this last sentence as I think the best meal of my life was the one I recently had at Masa in NYC). All of these places and restaurants sound familiar? :) NYC is our favorite city (and yes, Emily’s favorite city as well) for dining. But… I digress.
Even with the crazy schedule, I hope to keep writing. Entwined, my third novel, is out on Amazon and Smashwords, iBooks, Nook, and Kobo. And for those of you who have been with me from the beginning know that Indelible Lovin’ – Max & Jane’s Story is done and also sold at the e-retailers listed above, in two volumes. I am currently working on another story titled, Unlikely Attraction, as well as another Indelible Lovin’ blog story. I hope to see many more Reiders come Dec. 2013, when the new blog is unveiled.
Thank you for visiting my website and I am truly humbled and grateful for the outpouring of love Indelible Love and Entwined have received. Check back for updates on my writings, travels, and everything Reid/Taylor/Davis.

Entwined
I just finished reading this book and I'm still reeling in it, it was jam packed with confusion, upset, turmoil and love.
The story is about a man and women that meet, fall in love and have a child, when the man leaves this earth (or the earth in the book) she then find another man, falls in love and a has a child however with so many twists and turns it's hard to keep up, after reading the snippet given at the end of Jake's story I couldn't stop thinking about it, I was shocked by the age of the characters and how exasperated everyone seemed through out the story, I felt both bad for Paul and happy for Olivia, Ollie sounded wonderful and Ian must of been Paul reincarnated, all in all it was a wonderful love story, the sex filled out less than half page through out the whole story which made a change for me and not entirely a bad one. I do wish D.w.cee would dabble into the sex scene at least a little since the love was so explosive, I was confused to begin with how there could be two Olivia's in the story when I read the first chapter and the free snippet and it took me a few chapters to figure it out, I was also a little taken aback when Olivia not only had a baby at 40 but also another at 47 but overall if your looking for a love story that'll keep you on your toes and keep you thinking this is it.
Story: 4.8 (6 years with no contacted except a slammed door? any love that strong would of found a way, even just a text to explain)
Characters 4.5 (I found Dani hard work to keep up with, almost felt her input was quite pointless)
Cover: 4.5 beautiful and simple but I didn't see how it connected to the story
Overall, go read it for sure if you like a good love story and a good cry, if your looking for erotica go elsewhere as you won't find any here

I was really looking forward to this book after reading the authors other two books (though at the end of this book they said that Jake was the ideal man...not sure if I agree with that. He got a little crazy at times so....) anyways back to this book. I just...I didn't buy it. Olivia and Jamie I got, but Olivia and Peter...their story was supposed to be the perfect love story and it was just written so fake. It was so trite and the conversations in that part of the book were so..hard to read as they were not like normal conversations people would have. They were written like people might idealize conversations or something. I can't quite find the correct word or way of saying what I mean. I could buy into the meeting and getting married one week later thing, but only if you write it so it seems like that could actually happen! Olivia and Jamie at least I got. And Dani was such a spoiled little brat and horrible! Even when she knew she was hurting her mother for no reason and realized she was wrong still she refused to talk to her and let her continue crying by herself in her room for days. Wow what a great child. Horrible. Jamie's family? What horribly selfish people (at least most of the women). Horrible and unrealistic and such a disappointment after reading the other two books.

Oh how I love this author and her wonderful stories. With the addition of this great tale, I have now read all of her books. This one is very different from the previous three, as they focus on the Reid family and the evolution of the newest generation in their quest for love (I would highly recommend that whole series if you love a great romance). Entwined is about love found, love lost, and love found again. It pulled at my heartstrings and made me really put myself in Olivia's shoes as I thought about how I would handle myself in a similar situation. One word of caution, pay careful attention to the beginning of each chapter so you will be familiar with the year and the narrator, as you often go back in time to get the history of what brought the characters to the here and now; I actually had to go back to the beginning once I got to chapter four to make sure I was following the chain of events, but trust me, it was/is worth it. DW Cee, please keep these wonderful stories coming as you have a fan for life! DW you outdid yourself with this one.

After reading DW's Indelible Love Series, I was very anxious to read about characters that were not a part of the Reid Family. I believe I initially read an excerpt of this (can't remember where) and the story line immediately caught my attention and I went on a mission to try and find this book so I could find out what happened in the story.
This book literally rips your heart out and tears it to pieces and makes you want to jump for joy at the same time. There were so many times when I was so frustrated with Olivia and her decisions and Jamie..well I was frustrated with him too. Why didn't he fight harder? Why did he allow Olivia to push him away? These are all questions that I wanted answers to and I couldn't put the book down until I did.
Overall a very romantic story. You really can't go wrong!

This book is the kind that has you so confused with emotions. Love, hate, and confusion. Most of all confusion though. Olivia falls in love with a man, who then conceive a child together. Yet he ends up leaving Earth. Olivia then finds another man, falls in love, and they have a child together.
The characters are also adults. By adults I don't mean in their 20's like most books. But in their 40's. Which is a refreshing change.
I honestly am still confused by this book, but in a good way. This is a book that keeps you on your toes. You need to read Entwined if you like stories that don't follow the norm. This is the perfect book for that.

A book that was def not part of the Indelible Love Series....
but it didn't matter I still LOVED it.
A story about a woman who is a mother and wife who lost her best friend. But eventually found love once again who def not who she saw herself with. Something happen that made them stay apart but when years later they happened to run into each other and a secret was revealed .
a story of love n loss and its not age that defines who you love and how many soul mates you can have in your life time. Anything is possible.

I read this after I read about Emily and Jake and felt that maybe I could check out her other work. I knew it was going to be different and felt that it was still be good. I was a little on edge because I read the excerpt and was worried about all the sadness that was projected . This book pulls at the heart strings and puts you through the ringer more than her other books and it gets hard to follow sometimes but it was over all a good book, but it falls behind Jake and Emily who will be number 1. I say its a good read

I LOVED Entwined. At first I thought the back and forth was going to be confusing but in the end I loved seeing it all from each persons point of view! Very well written. I cried when they cried and laughed when they did. Author is great at making you feel what is going on and not just reading it. Can't wait to read more!

When I finish reading Max and Jane part 2 there was nothing else to read that wasn't out yet. I decide to read this book. Mrs. Cee did not let me down. This book lives up to the title Entwined. This story just sucks you into it and you just don't want to put it down. It a great book and I recommend it if you love her other books!
January 15, 2014
I really enjoyed this book!! At first it was confusing but as you read along you get a better understanding! This book was an emotional roller coaster but I loved every minute of it...honestly I had a hard time putting it down because I was so intrigued by it! I loved how it was told in different POV's it was a very good book!! Another amazing story by this author!

This is the third book I've read by D.W. Cee and is my favorite. Heart wrenching, emotionally gripping story of True Love, family, tragic loss and the possibility of a new True love. An enthralling story you will not want to put down.
May 4, 2013
Wow crazy awesome story! Told from the view points of a mother and a daughter and telling both of their stories. My favorite part was definitely the epilogue, seeing how everything turned out there at the end.

Loved the storyline but didn't feel like the book was as well written (or maybe just harder to follow) than the indelible love series. Seemed like some details were off and made it a little more confusing. Gotta appreciate a happily-ever-after though and this author never disappoints!

This book had me a little confused at the beginning but after
a few chapters I caught up :)
You find heartache, love and then the very important happy ending.
If you get past the first chapters you will be rewarded with a really great Story.

I loved this book it would have to be my favorite book from D.W. Cee. I have read it now a couple of times and still need a tissue for the tear or two.
January 15, 2014
Loved the combination of both the Mother and the Daughter in the book, loved how the age difference was still relatable!
