| New Reviews! |
While I was busy watching butterflies - hmm, is that anything like stopping to smell the roses? - and pounding my keyboard, finishing two stories, several new reviews piled up in my Inbox.
REVIEWS for ROGUES (a collaboration by Liddy Midnight and Cricket Starr)
"ROGUES is a superbly crafted erotic tale. I wasn't sure initially that I'd be able to get into the story when the opening scene is such an eye opener with Thomas and Rick having sex. However, within a few chapters I realized that while ROGUES definitely has its share of outstanding and extreme heat inducing sex scenes, there is a lot more going on in this little gem. The characters are well developed, and the twists and surprises in the plot make for an excellent mystery and adventure. Thomas is more than one hundred years old, and yet Rick is often the calm, rational mature partner in the relationship. Thomas is sometimes like a young boy, and his exuberance often makes Rick act the heavy. Rick is a solid, dependable and ultra sexy man. He is intelligent as well as kind and thoughtful. Harriet is a tough woman on the outside, but inside she churns with uncertainty. She loves Rick and Thomas but is sure when they learn the truth about her they will walk away. Elvie, the AI on the ship, is a fun addition to this crew and adds a lot of humor to the tale.
"The plot is crafted and executed well, and even with the scorching sex scenes between all of them and each of them as a pair, the tension of the mystery the three need to solve never abates. Suspense, action, adventure and high octane sex guarantee that ROGUES will be a hit with readers. I highly recommend ROGUES for its excellent writing, fully fleshed characters, fascinating plot -- and oh yeah, some very well crafted love scenes."
Terrie Figueroa, for Romance Reviews Today
"I loved each moment of this book because it had everything, adventure, danger, excitement and mostly love, love for each other and the lengths they would go to ensure their own happiness. These two authors certainly know how to tell a tale and their characters reflect that. If you want to read about a space adventure with a whole lot of hot, sexy interludes then get this book and experience it for yourself, you'll kick yourself if you don't."
Sherryl, for eCataromance
"These rogues mix fun, intrigue, heroics, and, oh yes, sex.
"Drama is interspersed with a constant naughty sensibility so that sex is never far from the heroes' (or reader's) mind. I enjoyed this ride through a future universe with these three and the humorous computer character, Elvie. The story unfolded smoothly with always a wink toward fun. Even the evil villain has an impressive collection of sex toys. In addition to the fun, I felt a genuine affection for the characters and the way they cared for each other. Take a ride on their ship, The Sleepwalker; sleep is something you won't mind missing with this crew."
Kirra Pierce, for JERR
"I'd like a ride on the Sleepwalker please. Where do I sign up? Rogues is a sexy romp through space that's sure to leave you panting for breath from the action in and out of the bedroom. The chemistry between Thomas and Rick is scorching hot and with the addition of Harriet I wasn't sure if I'd survive to the end of the book. While Thomas is physically stronger of the trio Rick is the definitive alpha of their relationship and his ability to be both strong and tender makes the reader sigh with pleasure. The story is quick to zoom you into space with Thomas and Rick and threatens to keep you there indefinitely wishing for more. The Sleepwalker itself is an extremely amusing secondary character in the story and you find yourself caring for it just as much as the main characters, not to mention she's funny as heck! This is the first book that I've ready by this amazing duo though I'll be keeping my eye out for any of their other works from here on out. "

And a very nice review for DREAMS OF THE OASIS 1, also at The Romance Studio.
It's been a good month for reviews!
Now I'm off to Home Depot (again) for things we need to complete the Kitchen Renovation, Part 2: Electrical wiring!

Thanks, Jolene, but I've got my hands full with my own kitchen work. I'm not looking to take on any more construction jobs, although the demolition can be lots of fun. I love to swing a sledge. LOL
On Thursday while trimming shims, I ran my knuckle down a utility knife blade...OUCH! That hurt! It's healing nicely so far.
Hugs,
Liddy

Thanks, Tessa, and I have to admit that sometimes writing is hard work. At other times, it's pure magic.
Hugs,
Liddy
