The Smart Bitches Like It!
Sarah reviewed Kiss and Kin. She gave it a C- which, at first, scared the heck out of me and made me really, really not want to read the review (even tho I swore, when I submitted it, that I could handle whatever she dished out), but then – hey, it’ s actually a positive review. And then I remembered – oh yeah. A C- from Sarah is a B+ from anyone else. I’ll take it.

Holley’s novella is a clever take on a lot of the tired shapeshifter world tropes, and after reading this one I am going to do my bitchy darndest to remember her name and her world because I’d be happy to revisit to see if longer stories, particularly those of Lark’s best friend TJ, develop the emotional and sexual tension concurrently and sustain both through their resolution.
You know those people who go skydiving or walk over hot coals to help themselves conquer their fears and insecurities? Pfft.

I love Smart Bitches, and I love their snark, so you get huge kudos from me for having the guts to submit. Based on their review (yes, it was a C-), I bought your book and I loved it! I should probably say here that I am not a huge fan of paranormal romance,and I’ve been on an ebook buying freeze for a few months. Despite that, I read the review and then checked out the synopsis and excerpt on “books on board” and it was too tempting, so I had to pick it up. It was a great read, and did I mention I also don’t like novellas because they just leave me wanting more? So basically you were a perfect storm of elements of romance that I usually dismiss, and your book went a long way towards completely changing my mind. It was great! Congratulations on your success, and please write more!!
Thank you Leah! I’m writing as fast as I can (actually, I’m not – I need to get my butt in gear – I got stalled for some reason). I’m trying to finish the full length novel that led me to write KnK.
I’m so glad you liked the book – that’s a huge thrill for me, so thanks for letting me know.
