Woohoo, 5 stars from JERR!

Caye Kim has reviewed my forthcoming novel, DOUBLE DARE on behalf of Just Erotic Romance Reviews. She's given it 5 Stars and a heat level of "orgasmic"! I'm thrilled to bits with her reactions and her comments, so humour me while I post the whole thing! :-) Here's what she has to say.

Abby Douglas has enjoyed her share of men, but realizes that being a gorgeous investment manager extraordinaire wreaks havoc on the egos of the men she meets. Hoping that a little white lie about her profession will help her with the stranger she meets in her offices elevator, Abby tells Zac Bordino she’s a receptionist. Soon after meeting Abby, Zac discovers that not only did she lie about being a receptionist, but she’s also the mastermind behind his company’s investments. Amidst Zac’s growing attraction to Abby, he must decide if she’s working an angle or if she truly does care about him as he has come to care about her. From hot nights in London to sexy nights in Paris, can Zac and Abby overcome the lies and deception or will it tear them apart?

This is a beautiful story of heart warming emotion and sizzling sex that shows that even the tiniest of lies can roll into something out of control. Ms. Walker skillfully captured the essence of the first meetings between a man and woman and the emotions that can evolve from something as simple as a shared moment in an elevator. Abby and Zac come together in such page burning and erotic sex, that while I enjoyed this book immensely, there were several times I had to put it down and go searching for a cold shower. Zac’s turmoil over withholding the truth from Abby makes him an endearing character and you are almost willing to overlook how manipulative his behavior really is. Abby’s initial behavior with men has you keeping your fingers crossed that she’ll have her happy ending, because even Abby discovers that in a torrid affair without love, you can feel completely alone. There is a small secondary romance that further drives home the point that a white lie is still a lie and true relationships can be built on nothing but the truth and trust. For those fans of Ms. Walker’s shorter works, you will immediately fall in love with Double Dare. From the emotional interactions of the characters to all of the heart stopping sex, this book is a brilliant romance that has definitely earned a place on my keeper shelf.


Can you see my smile from where you are? :-)
