I've been somewhat quiet on my blog, etc. for a while. I'm still alive, just busy with the Boy and edits on The Last Slayer. Since the birth of the Boy, there have been two reviews, one of Carnal Secrets and the other of A Happily Ever After of Her Own.
The Lovely Bettie Sharpe gave Carnal Secrets five stars:
I've never been too enthusiastic about categories or contemps, but I am a Nadia Lee fan, and didn't want to pass up one of her books just because it wasn't quite my thing. So I read [Carnal Secrets]. It pulled me in, made me care, and made me cry. Which just goes to show that no matter your expectations or sub-genre preferences, the right writer can make all the difference. A good story is a good story; Carnal Secrets is a good story.
I was flattered to read her review as I consider Bettie to be one of the most talented writers out there. Her work is amazing, and I highly recommend all her books. :)
Stella from Ex Libris, one of the sweetest reviewers and book bloggers I know, gave five stars to A Happily Ever After of Her Own:
…a delightful and entertaining, original and laugh out loud funny, modern fairy tale retelling… A definite keeper…
Thank you so much, Bettie and Stella! :)

Aww, thank you Nadia, I am blushing :oops: :mrgreen: And I LOVED A Happily Ever After of Her Own, and have to tell you, you couldn’nt make me happier than if you decided to have your own retelling of every fairy tale :p
And I’m not surorised Bettie loved Carnal Secrets, I was convinced it would win over even those people most doubting/disliking the contemporary romance genre ;)

@Stella (Ex Libris): Thanks, Stella! :) I may do another retelling, though I’m not sure yet. I need a good story to spark my imagination first. :)
