All right. At the urging of my friend, Jacqueline George(you didn't think I'd let your involvement in this go unmentioned, did you?)I'm reviewing my own book.

Actually, it's not as odd a concept as it might seem. If I let enough time lapse, when I go back and read my own stuff, I frequently come away saying either "Dang! That was good! Who wrote it?" or "Ew! What was I thinking?"

Now, here's what I think about PLEASURING THE PIRATE, based on other people's reviews. (Sorry. I'm still midwestern en All right. At the urging of my friend, Jacqueline George(you didn't think I'd let your involvement in this go unmentioned, did you?)I'm reviewing my own book.

Now, here's what I think about PLEASURING THE PIRATE, based on other people's reviews. (Sorry. I'm still midwestern enough not to be comfortable tooting my own horn.)

"Emily Bryan has some of the best first lines. For example: 'The next time I decide to kill a man,’ Jacquelyn thought, ‘I really need to find better help.’ For me, you could call this book, Pleasuring the Reader." ~ Barbara Vey, Publishers Weekly Blog

"Bryan's touches of humor, naughty, bawdy dialogue and colorful descriptions capture the era, adding dimension to this charming tale of a landlocked pirate, the hellion who tames him and their wild adventure. The heat rises as their escapades sizzle, and readers' hearts will race to the delightful conclusion." ~ RTBookReviews

"Pleasuring the Pirate is a fabulous, fun romp full of adventure, mischief, mayhem, romance and yes PIRATES! I simply couldn't put it down!" ~ Reviewer Top Pick, NightOwl Romance

"This great Georgian romance is filled with bawdy humor, mindful of Fielding’s classic TOM JONES. The banter between the pirate and the courtesan’s daughter is amusing and heated. The story line is fast-paced and never slows down. Emily Bryan provides a powerful historical as the adventures of the pirate and the courtesan's daughter will pleasure the fans." ~ H. Klausner

PLEASURING THE PIRATE is about love and lust and learning to distinguish between the two. It's about intimacy that says, "I know you and I won't turn away." It's about my characters finding forgiveness and learning to forgive and accept themselves. It's about the absurdity of society's expecations and the sometimes dubious joy of living with children. I wrote PLEASURING THE PIRATE in the hope of giving my readers a wonderful adventure.

My goal is to make my readers laugh AND cry, and unless they do that, I don't feel I've done my job.

OK, now it's your turn. Let me know what you think about PLEASURING THE PIRATE. I already know it's impossible to please everyone, so don't be afraid to speak your mind. Also, I did quite a bit of research on pirates and the Georgian era, so if you have questions, have at me!
