About the author

Employed as an engineer, I’ve worked in an underground mine that went up—inside a mountain. I’ve swung over the Ohio River in a tiny cage suspended from a crane in the middle of an electrical storm. I’ve hung over the Hudson River at midnight in an aluminum boat suspended from a floating barge at the height of a blizzard, while snowplows on the bridge overhead rained slush and salt down on my shoulders. You can’t do this sort of work without developing a sense of humor and a taste for adventure.

A relative newcomer to the publishing industry, I read my first romance five years ago and decided to try my hand at writing. Both my reading and writing habits are subject to mood and I usually have several stories going at once. When I need a really good idea for a story, I clean toilets. Now there’s an activity that engenders escapism.

I was surveying when I met my husband. He was my ‘rod man’. While I was trying to get my crosshairs on his stadia rod, he dropped his pants and mooned me. Next thing I know, I’ve got the backside of paradise in my viewfinder. So I grabbed the walkie-talkie. “That’s real nice,” I told him, “but would you please turn around? I’d rather see the other side.”

It was love at first sight.


From her website:
"Except for a handful of big names, authors don't make that much money. Over eight years I wrote twenty-odd stories but couldn't make a living as a writer. I'm fortunate that I have a second career to fall back on and have returned to my old job. Taking into account my current work load, I doubt I will finish another story.

...but it was fun while it lasted!

I am removing my books from circulation as I get my rights back from my publisher.

cheers!

Good read. This is my least favorite of the series - probably because one of the heroes spends a lot of time at the start being a major jerk. The other hero is MUCH more worthwhile.

Contains wild sex, is this a surprise?

Order is not wildly important, but you generally 'meet' the future heroes/heroines in earlier books - and they make appearances in the later books.

I like Jed. And Velvet's quiet grace. The rest... is fluff.

Not the most in depth story I've ever read, but definitley on the better end of of the Romantica Spectrum. It's also a bit on the short side, so the realtionships and resolutions all form a little to quickly for me. A few more chapters building the story up, and a bit more personal intraspection from the initial Hero would have been nice.

That first H starts as a jack ass, but by the end of the book it was easy to like him, IMO. Also there's only one scene from the heroines perspective, the rest are from the 2 heroes pov (Personally I'd have liked the book even more, without the h's pov at all). But like I said, one of the better Romantica, and to be more specific, one of the better EC titles out there...I'm looking forward to reading more from Madison Hayes!

So overall, Very hot book :)

One of the H's was a jerk and I figure the h shouldn't have given him a second chance if she was as smart as she was made out to be. He was an immature manho who objectified women and treated them as sex objects with no feelings.
However they were in close proximity for a time... ;the second H didn't really seem to be that interested, he didn't make a solid move on the h for ages.
Not really what I want to read about in my romance.
But the SFR part, the worldbuilding and the steaminess factor was all good, very well written as usual for this author. Deserves at least 3 stars except for how much the H pissed me off, may change it to more stars down the line.
