After growing up in Saranac Lake, a small town in upstate NY, Kathy-Jo Reinhart returned to her birth place and where she spent her summers with her grandparents, St. Petersburg, Florida, after graduating High School. The sub zero climate and piles of snow definitely weren’t a loss, in her opinion, and this is where she still resides with her Husband of fifteen years and their eleven year old son, who they lovingly refer to as their miracle baby. A name righteously earned after a very difficult and scary pregnancy with 7 1/2 months on complete bed rest.
By day, she works as an Office Manager for a construction company started by her grandfather and uncle. Like most people, she has a love hate relationship with her job, but cherishes all the years she was able to work side by side with her grandfather before he passed away.
Writing has always been something that she has loved. In school, creative writing was her favorite class. Writing a book was something she had always wanted to do, but was too afraid she didn't have what it took to make it happen. After going from working sixty hours a week to twenty, she found herself with a lot of extra time on her hands and decided it was time to take the leap. Crossing her fingers and closing her eyes, she jumped into creating the Oakville series and hasn’t looked back.
The first five star review she received after First Love, the first book in the Oakville series, was published, left her speechless, overwhelmed with emotion, and so blown away that someone really liked what she had written. Her initial fears seemed to calm and reassured her that others love her writing just as much as she loves doing it. How it will all turn out, still remains a mystery, but she’s having a blast seeing where these characters will take her.
When she isn’t spending time with her characters, she enjoys reading, spending time with her family, scrapbooking, and doing ancestry research.
The Monster. In
one moment, my entire life was ripped away from me. I ignored the
warning signs until it was too late. Until I became the victim. He took my life away from me; my freedom, my courage. I've lived my life in debilitating fear since that fateful day. The Savior. He was there the day it all went down, and he's been by my side ever since. He's been the only thing that's kept me going. He's my best friend, but he wants more. I'm terrified to lose him. I'm terrified he'll leave. One tried to kill me. One brought me back to life. I'll never be the same person again--that girl died when the match was dropped. Too much has already been stolen from me. It's time to take back what's mine.
I
knew deep down inside there was a possibility he would take it to that dark
place, I just never admitted it aloud. I knew if I did, it would become real
and I had been living in my own lie for so long; I didn’t want to believe it.
It
isn’t until I smell the gasoline that I know we are at a point of no return.
"What
are you doing?" I sputter out, gasping for breath. My ribs ache, and I
have a splitting headache. I am blinking rapidly in an attempt to gain my
bearings. I can feel the cold, hard concrete beneath me and I realize I am
lying on the ground outside. The wind stings my face, sending goose bumps
throughout my entire body.
Why can't I move?
Fear
begins to accelerate through my bones at a rapid rate. I can feel my heart
beating ferociously against my chest.
Why can't I move?
I'm
still blinking continuously, hoping this is all just a bad dream.
"You
should have listened, Bryce. You never listen."
I
rack my brain quickly trying to remember what, if anything I did wrong this
time. That's when Tyson's face pops into my head. Tyson was going to be my
accomplice tonight. He didn’t know it, but he was going to help me escape this
hell I’ve been confined in for the past couple of years.
I
swallow loudly.
He warned you,
my inner voice scolds me. The same voice that has held me frozen in fear in our
relationship for the past two years.
I'm
looking up at Robbie, and I don't even recognize him. His eyes are cold and
dark, his expression blank.
That's
when I see the match. He flicks it across the back of the holder and a flame
ignites.
"No!
No! Please!" I'm squirming around, but excruciating pain is shooting
throughout my entire body.
"Just
remember Bryce, you did this to yourself."
And
then he drops the match.

How do you protect the one you love from the one who loves you? Touched By Him adds yet another gripping chapter to Aria and Aiden’s tumultuous love story.
Aria Cason’s new life in Belize comes to an abrupt halt when a betrayal forces her to abandon her carefully laid plans. To protect a love she thought she’d never have, Aria makes an impossible decision that places her at the mercy of the man she loves, but desperately wants to hate.
Aiden Raine is determined to bury his love for Aria, but when an unexpected truth is revealed, his world once again collides with hers. As a means to an end, Aiden reluctantly enters a tenuous relationship with the one woman whose betrayal he may never forgive.
Bound by a love they never predicted - Aria and Aiden struggle to coexist in a world that seems too small. They are pulled apart by their need for control yet tormented by a passion they cannot escape.
Betrayal, animosity, love, lust and lies all collide in the third book of The Untouched Series.
UNTOUCHED, first in the series, followed by TOUCHED,TOUCHED BY HIM and ONLY HIS TOUCH ...
Untouched is an enthralling story of Aria Cason who has turned her back on love in favor of her career. Aria's past gives her reason to redirect her life and strictly focus on success; allowing little to no room for anything more.
Every part of Aria's life is structured and organized, including love and sex, which are always strategically planned until Aiden Wyatt. Aiden surfaces at Raine Publishing House as an intern who, from the initial meeting, causes several side-steps for Aria. Aiden's extraordinary good looks and commanding demeanor change Aria’s structured world, unlocking feelings that she has vowed to never embrace as he introduces her to a world of intimacy she's never before experienced. Aiden's presence ultimately forces her to face past demons and fight to keep the current ones at bay as she realizes that running is never the answer.
Touched, the sequel to the debut novel Untouched, continues with the emotionally provocative journey of Aria Cason and Aiden Wyatt. Aria had meticulously constructed her world- both in the boardroom and in the bedroom. Her life was exactly as she wanted it and everything made sense…before Aiden. After Aiden, was an entirely different story. Aiden’s disarming and unrelenting allure eventually stripped Aria of her protective shield allowing Aiden emotional and sexual access that she’d considered forbidden to any man. Aiden forced emotions to the surface that Aria had rebuked since childhood, touching a part of her that she found disturbingly unfamiliar. She now finds herself in a unique position as she shuffles to regain her balance and reassemble the pieces that Aiden left in his wake. But how will she suppress what Aiden somehow managed to awaken?
Led by career aspirations, Aria reluctantly maneuvers within Aiden's orbit and their forced pairing eventually hits several hurdles. Is Aria strong enough to fight her instincts and remain in Aiden's world? Will her initial reservations resurface, confirming her convictions that love can only result in tragedy? Or will Aiden ultimately convince Aria that love isn't the disaster she always thought? Regardless of the option Aria chooses, Aiden’s past and other secrets will unfold, forcing Aria down a path she never saw coming.

I saw his arm raised from the corner of my eye. I leaned forward to get out of the way of his flailing hand. I glanced back at him.
“Sorry,” he mumbled. I was rendered mute.
First thing I saw was his shirt riding up over his hips, revealing his perfectly toned skin. I leaned forward and craned my neck down, trying to catch a glimpse of his abs, when a low rumble emitted from his mouth, making me whip fully around. My face lit up on fire.
“You like what you see, Sunshine?” His voice took me off guard. The low rumble sounded like he had just woken up from a night of heavy sleeping. It was sexy and daring and dark.
“Not really,” I said, trying to mask my instant attraction to him. His eyes captured me when I looked up at him. They were deep gray, almost like a storm cloud rolling with the wind. His light brownish-blond hair complimented his tanned skin, making his appearance even more appealing.
At the tip of his hoodie, black lines curved along his collar bone, hinting at a larger tattoo somewhere beneath his shirt. I tried to focus elsewhere, but this guy was fucking perfection. His thick bottom lip, his nose that was a little crooked at the bridge. He had a fucking dimple!
“Luke,” he said. He smirked, showing off his dimple as if daring me to lick it. Strangely enough, he had on khaki pants, tailored so well they looked professional. The khaki and hoodie combo was bizarre, and the difference in top and bottom was not lost on me.
“Excuse me?” I asked back, remembering that he spoke, the fog dissipating, replaced with confusion.
“My name is Luke.” His voice was light, not condescending or rude like I would’ve thought it to be. I frowned, glared, and then turned around in my seat without uttering a single word. He was being nice?

What Others Are Saying About Taylor Lavati
"One for readers at the older end of the 'young adult' spectrum, The Thousand Year Curse is clearly the work of a gifted young writer. The plot and the basic premise have already been spelled out by other reviewers but what struck me most about the book was the deft and surprisingly mature touch of the author." Jay G
"I fell in love with Taylor's writing when I read the first book in her Curse Books. When I opened this book I wasn't positive what would be waiting on the other side for me, but I was certain it would be a reading adventure. Taylor didn't disappoint." Bestselling author Jesse Kimmel-Freeman
