Reviews for CAPTIVATION
So far, CAPTIVATION has received amazing reviews.
5 Flowers from Book Junkie - "Like a master chef, Kris Cook has blended the perfect ingredients for a succulent masterpiece by creating a majestic world where the supernatural is interwoven with the human world, a powerfully emotional love story and a suspenseful and deliciously dramatic battle between good and evil. Primal, sexually explosive and downright additive CAPTIVATION is a can't miss as it leaves you breathless and aching for more!"

5 Delightful Divas & Recommended Read from Dark Divas Reviews - "While the sex in this story was sizzling hot, I was also- dare I say – captivated by the plot that Mr. Cook wove into the storyline. While I love graphic sex in my books, I also need a plot to go along with the sex. Captivation is just as strong on plot as it is on the sexy ménage scenes between Nash, Eve and Kronos." and "Mr. Cook will take you on an unbelievable ride."

Update from my writing desk:
1. Finishing touches on Lillian's Rogues: An Eternally Three Novella. This is a nice introduction into the world of E3.
2. Starting on Playing the Field - a sports-themed erotic romance. Here's the teaser that Sophie and Shayla helped me come up with - "One brilliant woman, five hot footballplayers -- the game is about to change."
3. More revisions on Secret Cravings.
4. Waiting on edits from publisher to arrive.
Dream Big!

Excerpt from THREE TO PLAY (mmf)
All -
Super busy after the great weekend with Shayla Black and Sophie Oak. Ate Japanese food, devoured snacks - candy, chips, crakers, etc..., and each of us plotted an entire erotic romance book. Woohoo! Anyway - thought I'd share an excerpt from my book THREE TO PLAY (mmf). I must admit that Clint and Dustin are two of my favorite heroes and Beth helps them open up to each other... and also to her:

Thank God for Friends.
I'm lucky to have so many wonderful friends. They have been so supportive on my writing journey. How they endured me rambling on and on about rejections, plots, characters, etc... at dinners, parties, breakfasts--I will never know? Still, I'm glad they did.
That brings me to two special friends and mentors, authors Shayla Black and Melissa Schroeder. Without them, I wouldn't be a part of the wonderful romance community of readers and authors. Shayla's and Melissa's encouragement and advice...

For me the hardest part about being a writer are reviews and ratings.
You work really hard on a book for months then it finally comes out.
You hope that you and your editor have caught all the typos, etc... and delivered a really good book. Then... your baby goes out.
*Bitting nails*
You wait for the feedback from reviewers and readers. You hope you've struck a cord with your story and characters. Then you wait to hear.

Summer is almost over!
Living in Dallas, this Summer has been long and hot. Even though I am a lover of the sun, I'm ready for autumn. Cooler evenings will be such a nice change from the take-your-breath-away furnace we've been living with.
I'm also looking forward to having fewer distractions to keep me from the writing desk this time of year. I plan on really buckling down and writing during this respite between fun-in-the-sun months and the winter holidaze (yes, that's how I spell it - LOL!).
