This caught me by surprise — and I expected to click on it and read harsh criticism. Why? Maybe because I really wrote this book differently than the rest, or maybe because I need to write *more* books… Or maybe write in more styles that stretch me, make me take risks. Like this one did. At least this seems to be a risk that’s really rewarding me in praise!
Independent book review site BookWenches (great name!) really examined my new guide Seal It With A Kiss (UK; Kindle) and came back with this:
(…) Ms. Blue writes with a friendly, almost confiding tone, as if to say “listen up, girlfriend, and I’ll show you how it’s done right.” And while she comes across as an authority of the subject, she never talks down to her audience. The tone is not “oh you poor loser, let me help you get it right,” it is “girl, get your bad self and killer kisses out there and knock ‘em dead!”
I found myself grinning constantly as I read this wonderful little book. In addition, as well as it being a source for humorous and engaging advice, I believe this title could prove to be a valuable addition to the bookshelves of romance authors. It might help those who wish to add a little additional fun and realism to those fictional smooches.
Until I read Seal It with a Kiss, I never thought much about kissing technique. Just pucker up, baby, and go for it, I thought. But now I find myself eager to experiment on my unsuspecting husband. And I wonder…should I sneak up on him with a Mack Attack? Charm him with Angel Kisses? Become the ultimate Snuggle Bunny? Is this going to scare the hell out of him after so many years of marriage? Probably so! But I’m starting to think that perhaps under this forty-something, frequently overworked and overtired exterior there may lie a maven of mack waiting to emerge. Poor man will never know what hit him. (…read more, bookwenches.com)
