Again, Lara Santiago has looked out for your girl! She just sent me a review on Forever, I Do, my February release from Loose-Id. The reviewer T.S. Peters with Just Erotic Romance Reviewers gave the book 4 out of 5 stars and an “O” (orgasmic) for heat level.
Here’s a portion of the review, which was published in Jerr’s monthly newsletter, Issue #145:
For generations, Forever, I Do has had the most sought after wedding cakes in South Carolina. What no one realizes is that owner and designer, Rosalind Fletcher adds a little something extra to her cakes to guarantee that her customers really do get their happily ever after. Super hot wedding designer Ashley Bennedict makes her skin crawl in all the right ways. Too bad he is so annoying, her best customer and white! Between that and his lothario ways, Rosalind wants nothing to do with him outside work. But one bite of her special cake will change everything…forever.
The ladies, Brown and Crenshaw, have written a highly entertaining, passionate and funny multi-cultural story. Readers will enjoy Rosalind’s desperate antics and Ashley’s sexy, charming schemes. When the two get together, readers will either be falling over laughing or hot and bothered. The sex is amazing! It is hot, urgent and full of passion…. ….(to read the rest you have to go to Jerr’s Yahoo Group)
Here’s the official cover for
Forever, I Do, which I co-wrote with
Taige Crenshaw to be released from
Loose-Id Publishing for Marriage For All a collection of four special themed romances! Our story is dedicated to
Richard and Mildred Loving, the couple who fought for the right to be married and raise their children in Virginia.
Make sure you mark your calendars for February 10th!

Joyfully Reviewed Review by Patrice F.
Reese Johnson regrets not following her dream to become a comic book artist. When she’s not working as a manger at Gotham City Comics, she’s wasting her time indulging in RPGs (Role Playing Games). Her troubles start when she’s drawn into a different game engineered by Loki, Norse God of Mischief. The next thing she knows, Reese is back in time on a mission, courtesy of Loki, that involves a Viking Warlord, Eirik Sigurdsson.
Eirik’s life has been nothing, but hardship. He’s struggled to make a place for himself in the world, and has learned the meaning of betrayal from people close to him. His instincts tell him that Reese is special…To read the rest of the review click here!
Just Erotic Reviews by Elizabeth Charles
When Loki, the God of Mischief, transports Reese Johnson, comic book store employee, back in time Reese finds that Viking fantasies aren’t all that they are cracked up to be. Sure the sex and ravishment of Eirik is fun, but the slavery and chores aren’t that romantic when combined with a lack of indoor plumbing. Will Reese complete the task that Loki demands of her in order to return to her own time?
Frozen in Time was an easy read with a plot that moved along at a quick pace. I thought Koko Brown did a very good job of writing entertaining but realistic dialogue and I enjoyed the interactions between Eirik and Reese…To read the rest of the review, click here!
I don’t have a cover for my upcoming co-authored release for Forever, I Do, BUT on Saturday night, I received an email from Lara Santiago about an ad for a special themed series called Marriage For All to be released by one of my publishers (Loose-Id) she’d recently seen in the February issue of Romantic Times Book Reviews magazine. I knew Loose-Id was going to do promotions for the series but wasn’t let in on the details so I was pleasantly surprised and excited about seeing my name in a literary magazine.
So, you can guess…I hurried out and bought a copy:) A copy of the ad image is below! I will keep you all posted on when we receive the cover!
I guess I can officially tell you all that I recently contracted a story I’ve co-written with one of my Scribes Unleashed authors – Taige Crenshaw- for Loose-Id to be released in February. Along with three other titles the stories will all feature marriage or getting married or wanting to get married in a significant way. Not sure what the others selected are about yet, but I can let you all take a peak at a synopsis for it.
Rosalind Fletcher the sole proprietress of a bakery called Forever I Do Wedding Cakes. Famous throughout the Low Country for her wondrous cakes she’s never in short supply of clients. Her creations are famous for being delicious, delectable, and producing some of the happiest marriages around. The men never stray, the women always keep their men happy and 99.7% have never faced each other on opposite ends of a court room.
But Rosalind hordes a family secret, her cakes are infused with a what’s called a Loving Spell an old Gullah recipe handed down from mother to daughter for almost a century.
Good luck turns bad when Ashley Benedict playboy and wedding planner extraordinaire client’s bail out of a cake tasting. Feeling bad about the no show, he helps Rosalind clean up afterwards. However gluttony kills the cat and Ashley plifers a slice of the enchanted cake.
Not one to take no for an answer, Ashley sets out to charm the pants off Rosalind. , while she frantically searches for an antidote. Both succeed, Ashley sooner than Rosalind –much to her dismay, since she finds herself slowly falling in love with a hunk with a knack for planning nuptials.
Will guilt pust Rosalind to finally find an antidote for Ashley or will she allow herself to at be locked into a loving relationship with the man of her dreams?
Hey gang,
Just droppin in to procrastinate. I should be working on really easy edits for my upcoming title from Loose-Id but I don’t feel like writing today. I know sad, but I really don’t. I would rather be out running in a field of daisies and soaking in the sunshine:)
