Thought you'd like to know since you have Cheryl Dragon on your bookshelf that she is featured in a new EC paperback anthology of older women/younger men erotica called FINELY AGED. The anthology also included stories by Ruth D Kerce, Amy Ruttan, Sierra Dafoe, Erin Aislinn and Eva Savage.
An author always thinks her/his book is GREAT. But rather than me tell you, will you take a moment to read the following reviews and maybe add them to your shelf? Thank you very much. I think you’ll love them as much as the readers below did.February, 2009, Sojourn With A Stranger, K. Celeste BryanRating: 5 stars * * * * *Blurb:Penniless when she arrives in Norfolk , her mother and father drowned at sea, Raine Brinsley would give anything to return home to her grandfather in Maine . When Derek Stafford, owner of a large plantation, offers a solution to her dilemma, she’s stunned, if not outraged. She’d prefer to fulfill the contract to have his child and forget about him and his self-serving scheme. But she hadn’t counted on the decadently-delicious passion he’d awakened in her.Derek’s only desire was to father an heir for Stafford House, thus securing his future. He didn’t count on the Scottish lass with dark green eyes to interfere with his well-laid plans. But after one night in her arms, guilt, not to mention the loss of his heart, became his penance. Now he’d do anything to get her back, anything to quench the hunger and passion tormenting his soul.Review:My Thoughts: ***Sigh*** What can I say...This was such a good book! K. Celeste Bryan did a superb job in this story!!! I was immediately pulled into the story of Raine and Derek.Raine is a young woman full of Scottish blood... and we all know how stubborn those Scots can be! When faced with the tragic loss of her parents she finds herself stranded in Norfolk without a penny and refusing to write to the only relative she has left. She will not except Derek's offering to pay her way home, willing only to work in his employ to save money to make her own way home. Derek comes up with another plan... a very selfish one at that. If Raine agrees to Derek's schemes she will have enough money to get home, take care of her Grandfather, and never worry about money again.Bryan makes you love, hate, and pity Derek. He was selfish and selfless. He blames himself for his late wife losing her mind, that and the decisions he has made since Raine showed up on his doorstep sends him running from Stafford Hall when Raine needs him the most.I didn't want the story to end. It was another late night of reading...There was love, loss, mystery, and ghosts in this book. It is a must read that has landed a permanent spot on my shelf under favorites!! Posted by Heather at HEATHER'S READING ROMANCEWHERE THE RAIN IS MADE REVIEWSFIVE STARS First off let me start off my saying . . . I loved Where the Rain is Made! I predict this book to be a best seller. It is so good that words can’t describe it, but I will try. I enjoyed everyone from Cesca to Meko and everyone else in between. I read the electronic version and at three hundred plus pages, I sometimes have a hard time sitting for so long staring at a computer screen. I have to tell you that when I began reading this book I found myself glued to the seat. My husband ended up cooking dinner for me as I was engrossed in this book. Where the Rain is Made is a pleasure to read. There are not many books that come along like this one, but when they do, watch out. I am now on the hunt to read more books by K. Celeste Bryan. Reviewer for Cheryl's Book Nook: http://cherylsbooknook.blogspot.com * * * New K. Bryan fan! By war "lv2rd" FIVE STARS I just have to say I would and have recommended this book to all fans of paranormal and historical romance. Bryan writes a great story! This is the story of Ethan Gray aka Meko, a time wanderer Cheyenne Dog warrior, and Fracesca Duvall, a white woman taken captive by him. The story starts off with Meko being sent back in time to try to save as many of the Cheyenne as possible but not interfere with the outcome of battles. Cesca and her father and brother live in Colorado looking for gold as so many settlers did at the time. Where The Rain Is Made starts off with action and Im telling you it doesn't stop until the very last period. The Dog Soldiers attack the mining community and she is taken prisoner by Meko. Her brother is taken prisoner by a more ruthless soldier and the same one that killed their father. Cesca and her brother go through so much after they are captured but she remains a strong heroine, and that is what I really really like about this book. She does not cower, and only begs for her brother to be spared. I like the strength and that would be expected as she becomes the Dog Warriors wife. Bryan had me go through a gamut of emotions with this book. I was laughing, fearing, crying, and there were so many moments of heart wrenching emotion with the hero and heroine. Bryan also introduced me to so many historical things I did not realize, ie: Dog Soldiers, had no idea they existed, she really did her homework on the back story here. There were many scenes with indian celebrations,and traditions. The story has a great twist at the end and I look forward to Bryan writing a story on Mountain Lion maybe?! I will be revisiting this book many many times. * * * Wendy From Goodreads had this to say: “This is a great book! I highly recommend reading it! Plus the author is a wonderful person in general and responds graciously to all her emails! Ethan Gray aka Meko, a time traveling Dog Soldier is called upon to go back in time from his modern day life to help his people, he meets his fate with Francesca (Cesca) the green eyed wildcat, when the Dog Soldiers are warring on the mine camp her father and brother are at. She is captured by Meko, and wow...does the story ever keep you glued to it. There was suspensful moment after suspensful moment. The conflicts and hurdles were just non stop but the love story was so touching. Plus Bryan gives you so much great history about the Cheyenne in the book. I went through so many emotions with this book. I laughed, there were numerous times I felt my heart just clench in my chest for Cesca and Ethan. I havent read an Indian romance in a long, long while, but Im telling you WHERE THE RAIN IS MADE is a great book. I will be revisiting it frequently to say the least.”

Hi! Sorry to intrude, but I just started this group "I listen to music while reading".If you do, please join me :)http://www.shelfari.com/groups/33103/aboutThanks
:o) I knew you would know. So I just spent like twenty bucks on books from what you recommended. I ordered one book from each author. I can't wait for them to arrive. There is just something so yummy about a werewolf. I don't mind series books at all, by the way. The more the merrier!
Hello there,I have been wanting to read a really good shapeshifter romance ever since I finished the Twilight Saga but I don't really know where to start. So I thought...who better to ask than YOU! I mean, sheesh, look at your shelf :o) You've read tons. You outta know a good shapeshifter romance. Can you recommend anything?
in one word...absolutely!!!!(( its pretty much amazing...))
Twilight is completely captivating!
yea Twilight was one of my favorite books
in love with a vampire....best friend turns into a werewolf.....fighting death.....totally!!!!!!!!
Twilight might be a bit tame for your tastes, but it does bring back those amazing first love blushes and gushes. Might give you some fun ideas to try at any rate :)
I have truly enjoyed this book. It's the magic of first love with a little dose of danger. Who doesn't love that?
Twilight maybe a bit lite for you but it will bring back the first crush and that first love and your need to know if you where liked,loved etcPeace
I really enjoyed it. If you are looking for blood, gore or lots of action than this is not the book for you, but if you are looking for a good young love story than this is def. one you will enjoy. the chemistry between bella and edward is the thing that everyone wishes for. It was very addicting. I read all 4 of them in a week. i found them very suspenseful and could not put them down. Hope you give it a try and enjoy it
You might like Twilight if you are a teenage girl. I notice you like erotica. Anne Rice writes about vampires and witches and her books are sexier and scarier than Twilight.
It's a kids book, really. It's not bad, but there are much better literary works with vampires.
It's target readers are young adult, but seriously this did not stop me from being totally addicted to the book. I found myself laughing out loud to certain parts and truly going through it page by page not wanting to put it down...the chemistry between Bella and Edward is something I can sort of relate to which is why I think I clung to the story. I think if you go into the book NOT comparing it to Anne Rice you will like the book. It's definitely not as dark as those books...but all in all I thought it was very good. I've yet to start the 2nd book...although I have been going through detox without it. I was hesitant to read them but even my 12 year old daughter started reading & said MOM you have to read it so I did & now I'm glad I did.
Twilight is not the greatest literary work ever written, but I think it (and the other books in the series) is the most entertaining and engaging books. I read it in one day. The book is a quick read. I would suggest at least giving it a try.
It won't take long, and you won't regret it. It gives insight into teen life, I think. I read it because my granddaughter wanted me to and I really enjoyed it.
