Khelsey from Reading Between the Wines Said:

I love how this story keeps you guessing! As the end of a series you will get questions answered. I like how the main characters connect and react to each other. There is never a dull moment in this book; it will make you laugh out loud! There are also points you want to hit Burke because you just want him to kiss Kendall and tell her that everything is going to be okay. But he doesn't. I really enjoyed this book.

Thanks Khelsey!

Doubt monsters suck.

There. I've said it.

For those still waiting to be published, it's easy to look at published authors with envy. They're where you want to be. But the truth of the matter is, being published doesn't solve all your problems. The self doubt is only beginning.

Trust me on this. No matter how many readers subscribe to your facebook page and no matter how many copies you sold last year, you will doubt yourself frequently. If you don't, I dare say you're doing something wrong.

Is it possible to murder your doubt monster? I don't know. Let me get back to you.

Beverly at Sizzling Hot Books  Said:

"Bitten in the Bayou is a stormy, steamy werewolf story. The combination of two hot Cajun werewolves and Angelica, woman enough to take them both on was luscious way of spending a bit of time. Jules and Andre Deveraux were a pair of men I'd love to meet if I was down in the Bayou. Hot and spicy as the gumbo Andre cooked, how could any woman resist? Bitten in the Bayou definitely should be put on your to be read pile. Quick and sensual, nudge Bitten in the Bayou towards the top, you won't regret it."

Thanks Beverly!

Darkfallen at Paranormal Wasteland's Said:

"While there are some hotter scenes towards the end of this novella I would in no way call them erotica…however they are HOT! Overall this story was a perfect balance of action, drama, sweet moments, and YES even a few hot scenes done in a tasteful manner. I loved Burke and Kendall. Both as a couple and just as characters in general. I was immediately sucked into the story and found myself finishing it in one sitting!

I will definitely be reading the other books in this series:)"

Thanks Darkfallen!
