So yesterday…no wait…today, I woke up at 2 a.m. Pacific Time and it is now 8 p.m. Pacific Time. In five days, I’ve managed maybe a total of eight hours of sleep - but it’s been fun, ladies and gents! I’m like, slap-happy!
Okay - so many many thanks to the people who helped promote the release of Pushing Her Boundaries - Rachel Firasek at A Possessed WIP, the ladies over at The 100 Romances Project, and Lindsay at Lindsay’s Romantics. And Amber Skyzes is promoting Pushing Her Boundaries. Check it out!
Susi, at The Geeky Bookworm, already has a sweet sweet review out. Here’s a taste: “Pushing Her Boundaries was an entertaining and fun read with a real touch to it. I loved the characters enjoyed the setting and I will always be grateful that I won’t ever go canoeing again (different story but same conclusion). A great read you don’t want to miss.”
I also received this wonderful review on the Siren site from Angela Claire: “Mace and Maggie meet in an airport lounge and it’s annoyance at first sight. Maggie thinks the pretentious doctor with the cell phone glued to his ear is obnoxious. Mace thinks the uptight girl eavesdropping on him is inexplicably hostile. Of course they both think the other one is hot. When it turns out Mace’s brother is marrying Maggie’s sister, the two antagonists are thrown together and annoyance turns to attraction turns to something deeper. I thoroughly enjoyed this light-hearted romp and would highly recommend it. The verbal interplay between Mace and Maggie is amusing and the love scenes are edge-of-your-seat sexy.”
What else??? Tuesday I’m over at Night Writers talking about plums. Yes, you heard me, plums. No, not that kind! Get your minds out of the gutter!
Tomorrow - Who did Julia sit next to on the flight from Baltimore to Denver? Hmmmm?
***New Reviews Today: From Penelope
“When I heard Julia had penned an erotic story using this experience as inspiration, I couldn’t wait to read it. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, but it surprised me. It was only loosely based on her experience, and the conflict and resolution between the hero and heroine were quite different from the experience she had with her husband. The truth is, I suspect, Julia realized the severity of this situation would be a perfect back-drop for two people just getting to know each other…just beginning to fall in love. Nothing will reveal your true nature quite like a near-death experience. The harsh and unforgiving circumstances of this canoe trip show what Mace and Maggie are made of.”
From Basia’s Bookshelf:
“We come to the portion of the review where I speak about the sexiness because I take one for the team that way and read those parts carefully. There was a lot of sexiness. And it was red-hot, indoors, outdoors and on one occasion, involved some dominance and the use of butter. I’m from the dairy state. I’m not sure we sanction the use of butter for that purpose, but at that point, I was all for it.”
