Look for the October Issue of RT Book Reviews!

8/31/2011

My bad! It was the October issue of RT Book Reviews, coming out any day now, that has my ad for Secret Love! When the sequel, Undercover Lovers, is published in mid-September, you'll be able to meet 3 new agents, watch as they do the dance of love together, and revisit Malcolm, Sheena and Cory, from Secret Love, when they help out their fellow agents.
Come on back to check, because for sure I'll be offering some free copies!

The issue of Romantic Times that has my ad in it has hit the stands! Woot, woot! I sure hope some readers decide to give my books a chance! I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
Here's the link to their review of Secret Love:

And if you like Secret Love, then you'll love the sequel, due out September 15 from Whiskey Creek Press/Torrid! It's called Undercover Lovers, and has my first-ever menage scene. I wanted to stay true to the hero's personality, and he's not the kind of man who would go for that, so it was difficult to figure out how to include it in my love triangle. It also has a bit more action and suspense.

Also, Toni from Coffee Beans and Love Scenes (an excellent review site!) has been reviewing my Reyes novels. Click on the book titles above, and see how she rated the 1st three books!

A quick comment about my mini-book reviews. I posted them on Goodreads and was contacted by Danielle D. Smith, who was gracious about my not liking her book. We are now Goodreads friends, which is how it should be. I don't expect everyone to like my books either. But an honest review, that tells what was disliked, allows readers to decide if that will bother them or not.
And in case you are wondering, I give a 4 to books I will reread because I enjoyed them that much. I give a 1 to a book I finished, but didn't ever warm up to. Note that I would never put up a review of a badly-written book, because I would just delete it without finishing it, from my Kindle. So by definition, if I put up a review, it means it was good enough to finish. Maybe not my cup of tea, but still well-written.

Quickie book reviews of my vacation reads

8/10/2011

I was on vacation in July and took my kindle with me. We were so far up north in Minnesota that we could see across the lakes to Canada from our campsite! It was quiet, except for the loons calling, and beautiful. Nothing like a week immersed in nature to make you feel whole. Don't be surprised if my next book has that as its setting...I loved it that much!

Anyway, I read three books on my kindle while I was there. Two I bought from Changeling Press, because I love their erotic novellas! Especially the ones written by Cynthia Sax! Boy, can she write hot scenes! Enough to make my eyebrows melt!
I read 2 of Cynthia's Demon Chronicles, and I'll probably go back for more!
Demon of Convenience: Mina is a "vessel", which means that she needs to bond with a demon, hold onto his power, and magnify it for him, so that he will become invincible. She wants to do this with a friend, so she will still be able to have sex with others, but he sends their mutual acquaintance, an icy demon named Taurinus...he's also a deadly assassin. She thinks he dislikes her; in fact, he's been fighting his attraction to her for a very long time. When they mate, the fireworks begin, and repeat over and over again! Phew!
This Enchanted Demon: Augustine, the "friend" from the previous book, needs to bond (mate) with a vessel to save his sister, who is being held against her will. He goes to a sorceress seeking a vessel, but finds the sexiest woman he has ever seen, who loves hot sex and plenty of it! Misunderstandings abound, mostly so that they get to have make-up sex! Who cares about the plot anyway? Lots of hot erotic scenes abound!

Black Dog and Rebel Rose, by Danielle D. Smith.
I've never read anything by this author, but her blurb on Goodreads described the hero as "hawt", and hinted at erotic scenes to make you sweat. Plus it was being offered at a reduced price by Amazon, so I bought it.
I was not pleased that I didn't get a cover with my novel.
I was pleased that on the first page she quoted from Puscifer, one of the bands featuring Maynard of Tool. Maynard loves women and sex, and many of Puscifer's songs celebrate that in the most sexual way that they can.

Black Dog and Rebel Rose are both demon hunters...each has a different reason for doing it, but they are both very good at what they do. They hunt, torture, and kill demons...vampires among them. Since I'm really tired of sexy vampire romances, I was glad to see vampires more like Nosferatu than Twilight. These walking dead deserved to die, and they were spectacularly dispatched by both hunters. That's what I found unpleasant. The descriptions of the killings of the demons took up a whole lot of space. I guess if you are writing for a male audience, that's what you do. As a woman looking for the "hawt" hero and the erotic romance, I was a bit let down. They do get down to it, then they do some more killing. Then they fight, then kill more demons, then do the deed again. Repeat again. There is a HEA ending, because these two are fated to be together. I guess.

If you like zombie-killing and demon-blasting, this is your book. I may let my husband read it before I delete it. And maybe my sons who play violent video games like Duke Nuke'em might enjoy the splatter. Me, not so much.
