Exercise can be fun.

I can’t remember who’s blog I saw this on, but someome was posting the 1 Star reviews of thier books, and since I’d started the “Readers Speak” thing a while ago, I figured Hey, why not. My books get great reviews, and I Love it. But to be fair, there are sometimes ones that make me go “whoa.”
So, here are my 1 star reviews from Amazon.
For WICKED:
“I was really excited to purchase this book from all its raved reviews. Only to be dissapointed with it once i recieved it. I mean at first i thought it was going be a quite steamy book with its prologue. But into the first chapter…just terrible. It really felt like someone carelessly, inexpreincely written it. The beginning was filled with too many repeats. With the character repeating lines from the other with expressing their mental thoughts. The female main character said ‘oh, yeah’ or ‘oh,yes’ so many times i wanted to shred the book. It wasn’t humourous, the dialogue wasnt smooth but choppy. There weren’t enough fluff or flow to the story and then to have meaningless scenes in the story just to tie us with characters from previous books or a hint of another. i thought she could’ve done a better job with the story line, i was hoping for more substance. And it end up being predictable and unoriginal… It had good ideas, like the scene were the main characters take a shower together, the meaning of the scene anyways…but White’s erotic scenes would either be done short and poorly or laid out and not enough detail. Save yourself the trouble, DONT waste your money on this one. Do buy Broken from Megan Hart, she written an absolutely tremediously heartwarming tale…”
No, I did not mess with the review. It was copied and pasted exactly as it was on Amazon, spelling errors, typos, and refrences to other authors as they were. And I actually have to Thank this reviewer, because of this review Megan Hart and I had a good starting point to chat about when we met in New York, and I now consider her a good friend. The woman rocks!
FOR TROUBLE:
Kelly said: I am an avid reader of erotic books, but for me to find one enjoyable, I prefer a good story along with the steamy sex. This book had no story to speak of, but what was worse, the characters were awful, and not developed. I didn’t care if they were together or not. Believe it or not the writing was worse than everything I mentioned above. The sex scenes were forced between two characters we cared nothing about. I only got in the first 100 pages, as that was all I could stomach. Spend your hard earned cash on something else.
J.Freedman Said:
“Am I the only person who couldn’t take this book seriously? I’m all for erotica books that have hot sex scenes and not much plot or character development to speak of (after all, who reads erotica for a plot?)… but this was just ridiculous. I can’t take this book seriously because the writing is just so cheesy and awful.”
Ouch! After many great reviews, those 2 One Star ones for Trouble were posted within a week of each other, just recently. But…There were no one star reviews for BOUND, and I’ll do the kensington books another day. I have to admit, I checked on SEXY DEVIL today though, and there were no one star reviews there either.
And too make it even more apparent that reading, and reviews, are all subjective, I figured nows a good time to announce that TROUBLE is a finalist in the MORE THAN MAGIC contest. A Reader Judged contest.

Only 4 copies of Sexy Devil left at Amazon today.
This makes me feel great because I’m currently finishing up the sequel to SD. It’s called Primal Male, and will be Drake Wheeler’s story. You’ll meet Drake in both the novella’s in SD. Comments from Beta readers are starting to come in, and so far they love it! I’m so thrilled!
Now, I just hope my editor will love it too. 
Here’s a peek at the cover copy…Primal Male
PRIMAL POWER
An empath with the ability to sense others’ emotions, Drake Wheeler has survived by keeping his own feelings shut off from the world. But nothing has prepared him for the sudden smoldering need that overtakes him in the presence of pureblood shape shifter Melissa Montrose. Even more surprising—he can’t sense anything around the sultry bookstore owner…except for his fierce urge to take her here, now, over and over again…
PRIMAL HEAT
Melissa has lived her life in a small town, hiding her family’s mysterious birthright. A fling with the sexy tourist who wanders into her bookstore seems like a delicious, temporary diversion, until Drake touches her in exactly the way she craves, teasing and tempting every inch of her body into explosive ecstasy. Drake’s obviously a man with secrets, but Melissa’s got a few of her own, and she’s going to show him just how wild and raw pure, primitive desire can be…

My mom videotaped a show that was on television for me called “I can make you thin.”
I watched it, and it made sense, and I’m willing to try it. Mostly because I’m feeling sort of lazy about my eating habits right now, and being so close to deadline I’m not making it to the gym.
This show says if you follow these four “Golden Rules” you’ll lose weight.
1) When you’re hungry - Eat!
2) Eat whatever you want. (So no cravings and no binging)
3) Eat Consciously. (Eat slow and be aware of when you are full…don’t just keep eating because it takes good).
4) When you are full- Stop Eating!
Makes sense, right?
So since I have the hardest time paying attention to my eating when I’m NOT working out..I’m doing this. So far, I’ve not weighted myself, but I really feel no different.
If you try it, let me know how YOU feel.

Sorry I’m being slack on the blog, but it’s for a good cause. yep, a deadline. This book has been killing me. I’m not sure why either because I was so excited to write it. Yet, the actual writing of it took forever to get into.
But, it’s only days until the deadline is up, and I need to get it done…so I’ll be back on the blog in May. :)

Please email again.
Okay, back to the writing cave for me. :)
