Savas' Defiant Mistress Reviews

Seb and Neely have been sent copies of their first reviews.

Julie Bonello who writes reviews for both CataRomance and the Pink Heart Society has read their book and sent me links to both the reviews which you can read at Cataromance and at the Pink Heart Society's review page.

But Seb is bugging me to post bits here because he's very proud of them and he wants to see them in print in more than one place.

So, for Seb, this is, briefly, what Julie had to say at CataRomance: "Funny, intense, emotional and wonderfully romantic, Savas’s Defiant Mistress is vintage Anne McAllister! Readers will not be able to resist sexy Alpha hero Sebastian ‘Iceman’ Savas and how can anyone not love Neely’s spirit, intelligence, heart and her assorted menagerie of animals? So inject some sunshine into your life and indulge in this wonderful romance by Anne McAllister - you’ll devour every word!"

And at the Pink Heart she wrote: "Refreshingly original, wonderfully moving and fabulously absorbing, Savas' Defiant Mistress is another Anne McAllister classic! Fall in love with feisty and independent Neely and gorgeous but guarded Seb in this amusing, enthralling and thoroughly captivating romance by this RITA award-winning author!"

Seb sends his thanks to Julie -- as do Neely and I, naturally. We are all three celebrating her kind words.

Seb particularly likes being called "gorgeous but guarded." He says she understands him completely. He is definitely not a heart-on-his-sleeve sort of guy. But gorgeous? Oh, yeah. Our Seb is not vain, but he's delighted that Julie found him appealing.

Check out the reviews. Check out the book excerpt.

Seb is coming to blog here next week. He blogged when I was writing his book, but he hasn't been here in a while.

If you have questions for him, be sure to check back or send them to me now via my contact page and I'll pass them on to him.

Flynn's Getting a Big Head

Flynn was prowling around the office the other day wondering why no one was reviewing his book. (That's the trouble with heroes -- once they get to their happy ending, they are at a loose end, and they want to blog and cut down trees and save the world).

So he was thrilled when I showed him this review by the extremely insightful, very smart, absolutely brilliant Julie Bonello on the Cata-Romance site:

"If Susan Elizabeth Phillips ever decided to write for Harlequin Presents, then One-Night Love Child would be the sort of book she would write!

"Fast-paced, hilarious, poignant and wonderfully intense, One-Night Love Child is another keeper by the always outstanding Anne McAllister!

"Flynn Murray has got enough to worry about! As the new Earl of Dunmorey, Flynn has inherited Dunmorey Castle and has to find enough money in order to keep the Castle in the family. He certainly does not want or need any more complications, but when a letter arrives out of the blue telling him that he’s got a son, Flynn realizes that his life is about to get even more complicated!

"Sara McMaster had fallen for the Irish charmer from the very first moment she clapped eyes on him! Funny, charismatic and absolutely gorgeous, Flynn had been Sara's dream man, and she had enjoyed spending a torrid night of passion in his bed! However, when Flynn walked out of her life, Sara found out that he had made her pregnant with his love-child! But when he had failed to reply to her letter, Sara decided to try her best to forget about Flynn and to raise her beautiful baby boy, Liam, as best she could.

"What Sara doesn't know is that Flynn never even got the letter she sent – until now! Flynn is determined to get to know his son and to be a good father to little Liam – even if it means incurring the wrath of Sara, who has never forgotten his cruel treatment of her.

"Flynn had no intention of picking up where he had left off with Sara, however, under the beautiful Montana sky, the Irish aristocrat soon realizes that he is madly in love with the independent Sara.

"But has Flynn lost his chance with her? Or will he be able to convince her that he’s the only man for her?

"Anne McAllister is absolutely brilliant! She imbues her page-turning novels for Harlequin Presents with plenty of warmth, wit and charm and takes her readers on an emotive rollercoaster journey where she sweeps her readers off their feet with her brand of intense passion, dramatic emotional landscapes and moving romance!"

Romance does not get any better than this! Sexy, funny, dramatic and unputdownable One- Night Love Child is Anne McAllister at her glorious best!"

Gracious, Julie, I don't think I've ever been compared with Susan Elizabeth (even unfavorably), so I'm floating on air. Flynn says, well, of course, the hero had a lot to do with it. And I'm sure he's right, but even so . . . thank you so much for your kind amazing words. I'm delighted that you loved One-Night Love Child.

Julie also reviewed it on the Pink Heart Society blog which you can read there if you click on the link and scroll down a bit.

Flynn has been jumping back between the two, admiring himself in reviews. I'd like to, but beyond thoroughly enjoying them and being very grateful to Julie, I'm stuck in the middle of Seb right now (who has a big enough head as it is) and he's finally out of bed and standing on his own two feet. Now he just needs to DO SOMETHING!
