Review from Super Librarian
Okay, I’m still drooling over the UK cover for Her Warrior King. Here’s another, for fun. This is the cover of “The Viking’s Forbidden Love-Slave.”
But I still loooove the UK cover. Mmm. Mmmm. Good. :banana:
Onto another topic…I met a super cool librarian at RWA this summer, and I read her blog because it’s really quite a hoot. If you love romance like I do, you really should read Wendy’s reviews. I decided to gird my loins and send her a review copy of Her Warrior Slave and she has the review up here. All in all, she made me laugh in several places, and I think it’s a good review. You can see what she thought.
I believe she’s also going to review my Viking love-slave book, and see this is the one that scares me a bit. I’m a big girl, and I can handle that some people are going to like my books, and some aren’t. I’m okay with this. Really.
But I’m very curious as to how the Viking one will pan out. See, in the space of 50-60 pages, you don’t have a lot of room for a sweeping love story. I went for all-out fantasy and escapist reading. Who wouldn’t want to be carried off by a hot Viking man? Think–beach read.
It’s meant to be fun, something to make your waiting room time go by quickly if you’re reading it on a PDA. I’m hoping it comes off that way, and fair warning–this story is definitely the hottest one I’ve written so far. (Vikings are pretty steamy guys, so you have to watch out for them.)
Anyway, here’s a link to an excerpt. This was the story that Missie helped me title “Sweet Savage Sven.” I really think the editorial team should have gone for it. Can’t imagine why not.
But I now have a title with Love-Slave in it. It really doesn’t get much better than that. :beer:

Tori Lennox Says:
I love, love, love the cover of The Viking’s Forbidden Love Slave. Very swoon-worthy!
Missie Says:
You know you have officially made the bigtime if you have a book with “Love Slave” in the title! :woot:
beth Says:
I just have to wonder…does the Viking also have love slaves that were not forbidden? Are there sanctioned love slaves? Cause I think, all things considered, the forbidden ones have to be more interesting than the ok ones.
I’m gonna have to suck it up and read an ebook now…is it out yet?
Fedora Says:
Nice! I liked Wendy’s review–she’s funny and articulate, definitely good qualities in a reviewer
I’m going to have to break down and get myself Sweet Savage Sven! *giggling over “sanctioned love slave”…*

Sweet Savage Sven—I LOVE IT!!
Alyssa Says:
Hello, cover!
That’s terrific.
Congrats on the review!
Olga Says:
I’ll second that. That’s one terrific cover, though the previous ones were pretty awesome, too! And congrats on the review!
