Good News Day!

Welcome to this week's good news....

REVIEWS

Shona Husk
Kiss of the Goblin Prince got 5/5 from the Romance Studio! Here is a snippet:

"This is the second book in the Shadowlands series. I strongly suggest starting with the first, not only because it will explain a lot, but also because it's just as good as this one. Ms. Husk has woven a tale of magic and myth, love and sacrifice. Her goblin and magic lore is fascinating and it creates an intricate and richly detailed plot. Dai is a tortured soul. When everything he's worked for comes to fruition, he finds little comfort in being human again. The courage he shows in facing his past is awe inspiring. This is primarily his story. There is love story here; but it's subtle. Love is what fuels his courage. Amanda has spent the last several years wrapped up in the grief of her husband's death and her daughter's chronic illness. I loved her compassion and honesty. Dai and Amanda's relationship develops slowly. There is such a strong connection. This was dark tale that kept me enthralled until the very end. The writing is smooth and the author delves into so many interesting topics. There is a lot going on but it's never confusing. Ms Husk was new author for me when I read The Goblin King and I have waited eagerly for this book; I wasn't disappointed. I highly recommend this story if your looking for a fantasy romance filled with depth and emotion. Can't wait for the next!"

Jenny Schwartz
A great review for A Clockwork Christmas by VampChix & Bite Club. Here's a snippet:

"Wanted: One Scoundrel was another excellent story from Jenny Schwartz, and I can always count on her writing to bring something new and creative to the page. Esme and Jed were so much fun, but then again, how can you not have fun reading about a suffragette that hires what she thinks is a scoundrel to act as her voice in a tight knit men only community? Add in blackmail, a kidnapping, some cool inventions, and a Gaston-like villain and you get a fun-filled adventure with a gooey romantic center. Loved it!"
