Happy tax day! I hope you all got huge rebates! I found an extra special treat in my inbox today—a review from Coffetime Romance. They reviewed my July release, THE SUPPLICANT. And guess what? They gave THE SUPPLICANT a Coffee Time Reviewer Recommended Award! They only give out one of these per month, and I’m so thrilled to have received it!

Here’s an excerpt from the review:

There is only one way to describe this book — AWESOME! Though the words this reviewer wanted to use as adjectives would not be enough, they do express the deep and amazing marvel at the conception and writing of this book. Filled with intense and sexually explicit material, the very astounding plot is woven with such intricate genius, I went back and read it again because I was hooked. This book is great, it is awesome, and I am extremely proud to recommend it to everyone. If you want a story that challenges ideals, beliefs and ancient tradition; this is it. If you want a book with amazing characters and sub-characters; this is it. If you want a book with unadulterated great sexual tension and fulfillment; this is it. This is a recommended read.

Thanks so much, Mila Bean at CTR! You rock!
