Cade Brock/PAX League Book 3
Which PAX League Agent Belongs In Your Bed?
brought to you by Quizilla
I had a dream night before last about the Romantic Times review for PAX 1. I dreamed I got the best review I’ve ever gotten for a book. I’ve never dreamed about a review before, and in fact, mostly don’t give them much thought–they’re out of my control–and frankly, RT isn’t always nice to me! But in a lot of ways, maybe more personally and emotionally than in reality–I feel as if I’ve staked my career on these PAX books. My heart and soul are in them. They’re the most difficult books I’ve ever written because they required stretching myself in ways I never tried before. I’ve been scared to death the whole time I’ve been writing them.
I’m finishing up PAX 3 this week–and again, as with PAX 1 and PAX 2, I’m shocked I was able to finish it because there were definitely times I wasn’t sure I could. And so, no matter how many times I’ve told myself over the years that reviews don’t matter, the review for PAX 1 did.
Yesterday I emailed Romantic Times Magazine to ask for a sneak peek at the review for THE BEAST WITHIN: PAX League Book 1. (Review appearing in the July issue of RT.)
I’m dreaming with my eyes open now because here’s the review:
“A horrific lab explosion changes Kieran Holt’s life forever. His secret experiment is destroyed and he’s framed for the destruction and the death of his colleague. Branded a traitor, Kieran hides out on a secluded island. Now he must clear his name, recreate the formula and race against time to save his own life. His wife, Paige, finally tracks him down, intending to divorce him, but she learns the truth, and with enemies on their tail, they flee for their lives. Nonstop adventure, emotional dialogue and hot sexual tension make Suzanne McMinn’s The Beast Within (Four and a Half Stars–TOP PICK) an impossible-to-put-down page turner.”
:bananadance: TOP PICK!!!!!!!!!! It’s okay to shoot me now. I’ll die happy!

And thank you, everyone! I’m floating today. But I suppose I should finish up PAX 3.
Apparently they actually prefer you to finish the book all the way….. I have to stop staring at my review now. Not to mention that hunky Cade….:heart:

(Btw, my husband picked up and read Cole Dempsey. At the end he said, unprompted, that was quite good. This is high praise. Mostly he just shrugs or shakes his head when I ask him what he thought of a SIM.
And I liked it a lot, too. Especially the mystery.)

Jorie, I’m so thrilled that your husband liked my book! I never hear from men because I guess not many of them read romance, so it’s high praise to get good feedback from a guy! Thank you for telling me!

I agree about RT reviews, but sometimes I find myself not liking some book at first. When I reread it, it seems weird because I discover subtle ideas and nuances I missed the first time around. Often it’s just the frame of mind I’m in when I read. I’m sure the same thing applies to us all. And, of course, some readers like a certain element while others don’t.
I’m really happy for you, and I’m praying for your smooth finishing of the last book.
Ciao (no emoticon because I’d have to turn on the pictures and my computer, a Pentium II, keeps crashing on me when I do that)
