Praise for Forbidden Heart


Hi all!


This caught me completely by surprise. I have a tendency to Google my name every now and again, probably when I should be writing, lol. I'm happy I did because I came across the Romance Junkies "Debut Titles that Rock" and what a surprise it was to see my paranormal romance Forbidden Heart listed. Needless to say, I'm extremely humbled and very excited about it.


Hugs!
Kara


Here's the blurb from Forbidden Heart.


Blurb:

His curse brings love and heartache. . .

The moment Shaye sees Moira, he is sure she will break his two hundred-year- old curse. It doesn't take long for Shaye to fall in love with this magnificent human woman, but proving his love is more difficult.

Moira is piecing her broken heart and broken life together when Shaye storms in and whisks her away on a fairytale adventure. Accepting his mythological nature--half human, half faerie--is disturbingly easy. Accepting his promise of forever seems ludicrous, as much as her heart beats to believe in him.

Daeanna is the daughter of Dagda, king of the Tuatha de Danann, and she is hell-bent on keeping what is rightfully hers: Shaye. Rejecting any possibility that Moira might be his true soul mate, Daeanna is determined to keep them apart...whatever the cost.

Love has never been so powerful, greed never so hideous. In worlds infused with beauty, magic and peace, can nightmares be banished and deceit be justified? Can love truly conquer all?

Reviews for 'Flavia's Secret'

Flavia's Secret has been getting some good reviews lately! It's just been voted Best Book of the Week at The Long and the Short of It, where Cherry Blossom said:

"The unusual time period gives the story a hue of fantasy, but the plot, the character's reactions, the motivations are solidly grounded in reality—both in the psychology of the characters and in the logic of the historical time. And Lindsay Townsend populates her ancient city with a colorful cast. Even the most minor characters are given due attention and spring to life for whatever short part they are called to play. The more important ones are unforgettable. Lindsay excels at adding the right small touch to make each one come to life and be remembered.

Flavia's Secret is also an emotionally satisfying read. The story pulls the reader in to share the events and to empathize fully with the main characters. It is impossible to put it down once you've started to read it. Moreover, Lindsay Townsend has achieved what all writers strive for—the reader will wish the story would go on forever."

And at Romance Junkies, Natasha Smith said:

"Lindsay Townsend has thoroughly convinced me that I need to go back into time and become a scribe in ancient England. I lived and breathed Flavia’s yearnings and love for Marcus throughout the pages of FLAVIA’S SECRET. Marcus was harder to read but no less important. His status as a widower afforded him the ability to try and stay untouched and out of reach of clinging females. I smiled when the one female who wanted to remain aloof from him was able to change his stance on love and worm her way into his heart.

Releasing as an ebook first and then a print book later this year, FLAVIA’S SECRET is a passionate historical romance. Set in ancient England during Roman rule, I enjoyed reading about these two wonderful characters as well as the setting and town in which the novel took place. Marcus and Flavia were perfect for each other and this book was the perfect read for my ancient history loving soul. Thumbs up Ms. Townsend! I loved every word of FLAVIA’S SECRET!"

New Reviews!

In the last couple of weeks I've received several new reviews for several of my books at Siren and wanted to share them here:


“I like this author because she does not sugar coat but goes for the jugular, she goes to the point without too many flowery scenes and not too many or over the top sexual scenes. In The Wolf in the Mansion there was suspense, action, intrigues and included witches and shape shifters. It was an interesting mixture with non-stop action but it worked effortlessly whether it was the dialogue or speculation of the suspect.” Joyfully Reviewed by Nellie.

“Gracie McKeever delivers yet again with Spells Cast In Shadows. Once again, the prolific storyteller creates an imaginative world of awesome spiritual wonder, set against the backdrop of a compelling tale of love and desire. As always, McKeever’s strength lies in the uniqueness of her characters, which, for a world of centaurs, elves, and other mystical creatures, can be quite a challenge. McKeever, though, not only manages to breathe realistic life into the supporting cast, but she does so with what has become her trademark original touch, enriching the overall story with creative flare.


Of course, fans of a good love scene will never be disappointed in McKeever’s prowess with the “pulsating pen.” Her ability to spark unbridled, though tasteful, arousal through the frequent flesh battles of her characters is quite simply erotica at its finest.


As with all her other works, Spells Cast In Shadows will only increase Gracie McKeever’s growing legion of devoted readers. Her signature literary style continues to improve and is never a letdown.” 4 Stars, Josee Morgan for Apex Reviews. To read full review visit here: http://www.apexreviews.net/Reviews.html

“Gracie McKeever tells a wonderful story of finding love again. Emilia’s Emancipation will make you happy just reading it, and the night of incredible passion between Emilia and Ramón was more than enough to have me looking for a cool breeze!

This story brings hope to all those who think they’ve lost their only chance at love. Don’t pass this one up, it’s a keeper.”

“IN PLAIN SIGHT by Gracie C. McKeever is one story you can’t miss. This book had me glued to the edge of my seat until the very ending. The characters in this book were well developed. I felt a connection with Sam right away and I could feel her passion for life just jump off the pages. I also connected with Dara Kelly right way. She has a “her way or the highway” attitude that I loved and thought completed this story perfectly. I have to mention the sexy Caution, who is a very hot leading male for this story; he made me tingle with his sexy words. Of course the villains in this story were also great. After all, what is a suspense story without a villain to jump out and grab someone? I thought this plot was well written and very exciting. I had no idea which way the story would turn and what new character would pop in next to surprise me. This left me excited for more dark and twisting fun. The ending caught me by complete surprise. This book was a great way to get away from everyday life. I recommend you pick this book up and spend the afternoon in a sexy and mysterious tale.” 5 Pixies, Becky Gaede, Dark Angels Reviews.
