Reading Between the Wines Remarks on Stripped & Blog Tour, Day Nineteen

A few days ago, my Blog Tour was held at Reading Between The Wines. At the time my post went live to share this with you, her review hadn't been posted.




Rather than go back and append it to that day's post here on my blog, I wanted to bring it out today. It made me speechless!




Rated 4.5 Stars, here's a couple of quotes:




"Dangerously erotic, Stripped will keep you on the edge of your seat!"




"Thrilling, suspenseful, exciting and HOT HOT HOT, Stripped was an immensely satisfying read start to finish! The entire story just builds and builds upon itself, setting the stage for a dark and captivating world of intrigue and sex."




For the full review, drop in here.




Meanwhile...






The second to last stop on the STRIPPED Blog Tour is at Kacey's Kreations.

Dear Author Remarks on Stripped & Book Tour, Day Fourteen

Another really enthusiastic review for STRIPPED made an appearance at Dear Author, on January 3. Jane rated it 4 Stars (B-) and had the following remarks to share:


"But it is because of the heroine that I enjoyed this book."


"The dancing/stripping scenes were really well done, described as a real skill and not just for titillation. The russian mobster really does love Natalya and his love for her provides an added dimension to the story."




Yay!! So very, very pleased that Jane enjoyed the story. Thank you, Jane!

USA Today remarks on STRIPPED & Book Tour Stop, Day Nine

Well, now I get to share reviews! Yay!


On January 4, 2012, STRIPPED was reviewed by Mandi Schreiner at USA Today on the Happily Ever After Blog. She had the following remarks to share:


"Stripped is not only a suspenseful story, but it's a very erotic one as well. The chemistry and sexual tension between Brandon and Natalya are so intense."


"A well-done, erotic, suspenseful book, and I'm so happy to hear there will be another Black Opals story next summer."


For her full thoughts, please visit the Happily Ever After column.

Guest Appearance - Don't Miss This Blog

Okie dokie all, (like my midwest accent coming through?)...

You want to see this beautiful blog site! Reading Between the Wines Book Club

Now, I'm making some stops at some fabulous blogs that have fabulous reputations. Most of them, though, I was intimately familiar with in one way or another.

This one, however, I stumbled onto while I was looking for additional review sites and erotic romance fans. It's just too damned beautiful!

I think though what really struck me is, I've recently been truly induced to wine -- you know, something other than "it's white" "it's red", and I have a favorite wine bar here locally. Reading Between the Wines completely captures that atmosphere for me. Love it, Love it!


Anyway -- Although the Stripped Book Tour does not run on the weekends, today I'm a guest at the amazingly classy Reading Between the Wines Book Club, and I'm sharing exclusive, original content. Not a clip from the book, not an excerpt you've seen before, not something you'll read again. Original content. Please stop in and share your thoughts -- I'd love to see you there!





Also -- as my alter-ego, Claire Ashgrove, the tour is still in full swing over the weekends. Today's stop is at Paranormal Heaven, another beautiful paranormal blog. (Love, love, the purple!)

Dreams Come True

It was almost a year ago that I submitted my manuscript for this "special project" to my agent, with very little heads up about what was going to land on her desk. Almost a year ago that I entered it into the Great Expectations Contest and learned it had become a finalist in Romantic Suspense.

And now... through what I truly consider Divine Intervention, STRIPPED is on the shelves.  Why Divine Intervention?  Because I never envisioned it would be with Berkley Heat.  Yes, I wrote it with a slant for Sensation.  But erotica?  Good grief, I couldn't write those words.

Until my now-editor saw something in the writing that I hadn't fully realized and made an offer on an erotic title.  Convert it?  Daunting.  But Berkley?

You cannot imagine how long I have dreamt of working with Berkley.  And my editor?  Her too.  I used to hunt the RWA contests for where she might be judging... and swore every time, because, infalliably, she was judging something I didn't have an entry for.

So it is with much ado, much grattitude, and much elation that I invite all of you to celebrate with me!  Thank you... everyone.  From the depths of my heart.

Now, add into that dream-come-true the fact that my other book, the story I waited years to tell appropriately, IMMORTAL HOPE, also releases today under my other penname... and yes, I revisit the phrase, "Divine Intervention."

In a little while, I'm off to check out Barnes and Noble, demi-demons in tow, prepped to have their photos taken with my books.  I don't care if it's silly.  I don't care if I cry in public -- I likely will.  My books are here, my dreams have truly begun, and I'm going to grin from ear-to-ear all day long.

Meanwhile, if you're out shopping too, and you see my books on the shelves, drop me a note and let me know where!  I'd love to have a collection of sightings by the end of the day.

In between, or if you're staying out of the cold at home, the Blog Tours continue:
