It’s Thanksgiving up here in the Great White North. I had turkey dinner at my mom’s last night. Aren’t you jealous?<\/p>\n

As some of you know, I’m erotic romance author Kate St. James’s<\/a> slave. So, although I really wanted to update this<\/em> website last week, Kate insisted that I do hers first. After all, she doesn’t have a blog and relie\"\"<\/a>s on me to trumpet her accomplishments to the world…because she’s just so darn shy. Why, she’s so shy she can’t even show her face in public.<\/p>\n

What are her accomplishments, you ask? Several great reviews for Secrets Volume 28: SENSUAL CRAVINGS<\/strong>, which includes Kate’s erotic romantic comedy, Kiss Me at Midnight<\/em>. What, you think it’s not possible that a novella is both funny and erotic? Buy Kate’s book<\/a> and put it to the test!<\/p>\n

Here are some reviews for Secrets 28<\/strong> and a new one for Secrets 26: BOUND BY PASSION<\/strong>, which includes Kate’s story, Exes & Ahhs<\/em>, set in Victoria, B.C. (where I went to university. Kate does this type of thing\u00a0to honor me).\u00a0Because I’m lazy, I cut and pasted these reviews from the new Welcome message on Kate’s home page, but there’s more to see on her Bookshelf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

New reviews are in for Kiss Me at Midnight<\/em>. Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews<\/a> has awarded Secrets 28: SENSUAL CRAVINGS<\/strong> 4.5 cherries and says of Kiss Me at Midnight<\/em>, “The sex scenes in this story were absolutely sexy and hot, but you could tell that love was in the air and not just lust. Marc…is a truly exceptional man and one any woman would be proud to call her own.”<\/p>\n

Bitten by Books<\/a> says, “I loved this story. It was fun, realistic and super hot. The erotic scenes are steamy and will get the attention of all the right places…. A definite great read for me.”<\/p>\n

Also, a new review for Exes & Ahhs<\/em> in Secrets Volume 26: BOUND BY PASSION<\/strong>. Joyfully Reviewed<\/a> says, “Risa and Eric are perfect together, and I have to say that Eric is one hunky hero. He made my toes curl from the beginning of this story and they stayed that way until the end. There is a great deal of love between these two, and watching them discover it provided pure satisfaction.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And, lest you think Kate’s only out to get me to talk about (and therefore help) her, she sacrificed several hours when she could have been relaxing in a hot tub to write this article now up on her Extras<\/a> page, Turn Up the Heat: Tips for Writing Erotic Romance Novellas.<\/em><\/p>\n

While I’m at it, Kate has a new interview coming at the Red Sage blog<\/a>\u00a0 next Monday, October 18th. She’ll be around (there) to answer questions, if you’re so inclined. So mark your calendars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
