Welcome to our blog!
Amy and Jennifer ARE Seduced by Books. We’re both in our 30’s, moms, close friends, work together, and share many of the same interests including our love of reading. Amy grew up in Maryland and has been obsessed with Vampires for as long as she can remember. Jenn grew up in Florida and loves the furry, the fey, and the fangs, in that order. Currently we are both in Orlando, FL. When we can be pulled away from books, Amy loves to bake and Jenn loves to take pictures and scrap.
We decided to create a place where we could direct friends, and acquaintances for, book suggestions/recommendations (Jenn’s been known to talk to strangers on the train while traveling in NYC). Once we started out with a simple page, we evolved from there. Now we are sharing our book reviews, fun comments, recipes, and giveaways. We try to give reviews on new releases, pre-releases, and oldies but goodies that we read, or are reading. We’re going to be adding author interviews for established and up and coming authors soon.

SCARLETT SCOTT is here - Guest Visit & Giveaway

WELCOME – Scarlett Scott – she writes sexy historical and contemporary romances. She lives with her hero and their adorable but occasionally evil puppy.
Twitter:  @scarscoromance

Scarlett - - Thanks so much for allowing me to drop in today! I’m thrilled to be here to talk about my new contemporary romance, Reprieve. It’s a story that’s close to my heart. Of course, all my stories have special meaning for me, but this one is a little different. I wrote it during a time when I was trying to find my path the same way Sophie is trying to rediscover who she is in the wake of a life-changing tragedy.

Writing Sophie’s story propelled me through a pretty tough time and I loved every minute of it. In fact, I loved Sophie so much that I didn’t want to leave her world. I’m working on two additional contemporary romance featuring related characters right now.

What makes me tick? Well, I happen to be one of those writers who can’t make up her mind about what she wants to write, so I write everything I can. For now, that means I juggle contemporary with historical romance and mainstream romance with erotica. Sometimes I’m in the mood for a sweeping historical romp and sometimes I’m in the mood for a naughty modern love story. I’ve even been known to try my hand at paranormal romance as well…

But although I like to switch up the genres of books I write, my writing process stays the same. I have a habit of listening to instrumental music when I write. Soundtracks of historical movies are my favorites. At this moment, the Jane Eyre soundtrack is on heavy rotation on my iTunes when I’m working. It’s awesome writing music.

My inspirations come from everywhere—other books, movies, songs, real life events. You name it, I’ve probably found inspiration from it. Coming up with new book ideas is a brain function I can’t seem to turn off. I keep a file on my computer with lists of new book ideas. Usually, I find a new idea I fall for before I get the chance to look through the file, but it’s always there in case I hit a dry patch.

That sums me up as a writer in just a few paragraphs. Thanks again for letting me drop in. I look forward to chatting with you!

SBB - - You are always welcome Scarlett – Thanks so much for the opportunity, we are happy to kick off your tour for your latest release Reprieve.  I (Jenn) am desperately waiting for the next book with these great characters from Reprieve – I too didn’t want to leave her world – Now that you all got to know a little about the way she makes the books – here’s all about her latest –

REPRIEVE:
It’s been a year since Sophie lost her husband and daughter in a car wreck but time hasn’t healed her wounds. A desperate choice leads her to Trevor, the handsome stranger who saves her life and leaves her wanting more than just a few steamy kisses.
 Trevor is content living the fast-paced life of a successful NYC entrepreneur. The last kind of complication he needs is a troubled woman like Sophie. But he’s immediately drawn to her even if his bachelor instincts scream for him to run.

As Sophie struggles to fight her growing feelings for Trevor, she’s torn between her past and the future. Somehow, she has to find the strength to finally let go and move on with a man who is everything she never thought she wanted.

AND – if that wasn’t enough to get you on the road to reading this wonderful book – we get to release an excerpt!!!

Hunters Fall by Shiloh Walker - Book Tour

We had the pleasure of participating in the Hunters Fall Book Tour – organized by Book Vixen – one ARC of Hunters Fall toured the country – stopping by at 7 of our favorite blogs – be sure to check out all of our reviews -

And with out further a due –
Hunter's Fall (The Hunters)Hunters fallNessa lost her memory following a near-death experience. Dominic is a Hunter dealing with his own problems with memory and sanity. When the two are put together to battle the forces of darkness-while trying to restore what they've lost-their all-consuming passion becomes an even greater unknown.(courtesy of Amazon)

Shiloh won my heart with her Hunter series – I happened upon her over a year ago and couldn’t find these books quick enough.  Many of them are on ebook format and well worth grabbing.  Her first in the series, hits you right out of the park.  Walker is hands down one of my Top 5 best erotica authors.  She’s not afraid to take you places many won’t mention out loud.  From her first book, I can say I was hoping I would wake up as Tori J
Hunters Fall is the latest in the series – at book 13 (not counting the numerous shorts and standalones) – this series has been going strong.  In a group of “Hunters” that police the paranormal and normal worlds, we’ve seen the stories of our great leaders and our new members – except Nessa – the oldest member of the group.  This book finally takes us into her head and gives us a view of the sadness and devastation that Nessa has dealt with to run the Hunters.   
Over 500 years of missing the one she lost…and the world continues to take the ones she loves…she’s at her wits end…Dominic is torn in so many ways, and he can’t help feeling like he’s missing something or someone key.  As he becomes the only one that can help, the truth begins to unfold.  Of course, life would be easier if Nessa didn’t end up in the wrong body fighting to control her mind...
Having read the series from the start, I was so glad to get into Nessa’s character, but I missed a little of the intensity from the previous reads.  Not just in the erotica department, I missed the edge in the plot. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the book, but if this was book 3 instead of 13, I might not feel the same.  I’ve been with the series, and sometimes we need books like this to get over a hump in the entire story line.  I’m anxious to see where Walker leads us in the next book.  This book is a must read for those that have followed the series – we need Nessa’s story. 

On a personal note – My twins are named Dominic and Jazmin so I thought it cute this book contained both their names throughout. (dorky, but still found it funny)
