It's good that I went to check my e-mails today (though I still spent most of this afternoon checking the inbox). But, I found a new review for Lord of the Night from the Relic anthology in the JERR newsletter #68. Below is just part of it though I can't link to the rest for those who don't get the newsletter quite yet because they update the Web site after they release the e-mailed newsletter.
I enjoyed this short story so much that I wanted it to continue for another few hundred pages. This story is hot, hot, hot, and left me hoping that Ms. Blysse will come out with a series surrounding this fascinating world. The characters are engaging and distinctive from each other. I truly enjoyed Merrick’s complexities, especially the battle between his love for Camille and his loyalty to his brother. He exhibits a vulnerability that makes him sensitive yet still confident. Likewise, Shad is a spoiled brat that I couldn’t help but become enamored with, especially his strong alpha-male sensibilities and his push to have that which he covets. But all in all, Camille wins the show. She isn’t one to be pushed around and I loved her ability to pick her battles while holding true to the important facts. The pace is perfectly structured, not moving too quickly yet still keeping my interest. The romance builds to what seems a viable relationship and the sex is boldly exciting. This story has it all. I hope to see more by this remarkable author. ~ 5 Stars, heat level hot, by Francesca Hayne at Just Erotic Romance Reviews
More on my worrying about e-mails...
I e-mailed an excerpt to a group that prefers those go into the files section so I got a reminder from group owner. This is just another example that I can't keep up and need to weed out more groups. I know I'll forget again. I'm really good at missing the fine print. (As I'm typing this I realize I said steel mines and not steel mills in my last post. See what I mean! I normally know that steel is created with iron and doesn't come out of the ground. LOL. I'm sure I'll make that mistake again too.)

Congrats, Annalee! I read the entire review for the Relic anthology earlier today. Well done :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Shelley. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw your terrific JERR review in their newsletter this morning, Annalee. Congratulations! Getting 5 stars from JERR is nothing to sneeze at. :-D
ReplyDeleteI certainly understand what you mean about all the e-mails and groups. It can get overwhelming sometimes.
Where can one find your books ??
ReplyDeleteIt sounds terrific and right up my alley
Thanks all. As for where it is available, Relic is an anthology available at New Concepts Publishing for electronic download. I've another story to finish in it, haven't read all the stories yet myself. They're great too. :)
