I was successful, rich, handsome, and mysterious—or at least that’s what the women I bedded told me. When I went to meet a client at a high-end society club one evening, I didn’t think my life would change…but it did. Xander Blane. Jenna Ashe. The battle for each other's heart, mind and soul begins in this first of a four-part, 10,000 Reasons serial, to be published weekly.

About the author
D.W. Cee
29 books110 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.

How much do I love this serial; let me count the 10,000 reasons!
DW, you are the master at the cliffhanger. OMG, for some "unknown reason", I can't wait to see how this is going to play out. Poor Jenna! With her sweet innocent demeanor, and quiet charm, this exotic beauty has turned the handsome and worldly Xander on his ear. Since she has entered his life, he doesn't know up from down, left from right; the mere threat of love has turned him into a possessive dominant. He is the pragmatist to Jenna's romantic. Because they both approach things so differently, the simplest of conversation turns into an argument or misunderstanding. Speaking of huge misunderstandings...that ending!!!! DW, HOW COULD YOU? Okay, so your only saving grace is that I won't have to wait too long for part two. I'm kind of liking this serial concept; it's like the weekly blogs on steroids, lol! I am buckled in for a wild ride.

I loved this introduction to Xander and Jenna's story. Neither are what the other believes them to be but somehow the two headstrong characters manage to find themselves drawn to each other and in a place neither had anticipated. When Jenna's roommate asks her to join her for dinner with her "man" the wrong idea is planted into Xander's mind. An idea that is diametrically opposed to the facts of Jenna's life. The couple fights against themselves and their perception of the other person. This is the beginning of a new series by DW Cee and definitely ends with many questions.
DW Cee is one of my favorite writers. Her writing is always tight, while her characters are well developed and quickly become ingrained in the reader's heart and mind. I am anxious to read the next book in the series.
