I have a birthday in a week, and my websites are going to be two years old in November! To celebrate, I’m running a two-month long contest, where YOU might get the present. I’ll wrap a big box of brand-new romance books (including some of my own) and send it out as an early Christmas present in December. Entry is easy. Go here!
Oh, and the guy? Sorry, he won’t be in the box, but he’s the inspiration for my latest hero, Captain Reynold Durant. 🙂
Wow! The cover of Mistress by Midnight is featured in this article about its cover model, Serene Aandahl.
Here are some recent thought-provoking, positive reviews of Mistress by Marriage and her older sisters, Mistress by Mistake and Mistress by Midnight! Highlights here; for full review, click on the links.
Marriage:
Rakehell Reviews: “It was nice to see a romance written about imperfect love. Sometimes we fall in love with someone because we can’t do anything else BUT fall in love with them. The heart wants what the heart wants, and it was refreshing to read such a well written romance novel that shows that.”
BookLoversInc: “The path of these two characters doesn’t run easy, but after all the heartache, drama and fights I loved how Edward finally let himself confront his feelings instead of burying them and realized that deep under all the lust and attraction he truly did love Caroline. That he, the most proper English nobleman meticulously planned the kidnapping of his wife, down to the last small detail, it showed how important she, and their relationship was to him. It was incredibly endearing. :-)”
Mistake:
Romancing Rakes: “I must say that Ms. Robinson writes like her hero, Bay. It is pure poetry, meant to seduce, titillate, excite and ensnare the reader from the first chapter until the last. I’d forgotten how hot Maggie Robinson can be, just ask my Kindle. The creaking was audible as I gripped it tightly, my heart racing, my toes curling as I sighed from the sexual chemistry between Bay and Charlotte. It’s almost like a soap opera, complete with mistaken identity, kidnapping, crazy ex-wife, expert lover hero, self conscious heroine, and a floozy of a sister who ends up being content with someone you didn’t expect. Oh, and a few plot twists. Ms. Robinson, I’ll be putting the rest of the series on The List.”
EA Recommends by historical romance novelist Evelyn Archer: “Maggie Robinson’s novel Mistress by Mistake has been in my to-be-read pile for over a year now. I finally got to it this week and really enjoyed it. The historical romance is both pretty darn HOT and pretty darn funny – an unusual combination. While these two qualities are not mutually exclusive, most of the time I find writers tend to be one or the other. I have added Ms. Robinson’s Mistress by Midnight and Mistress by Marriage (which will be available in August) to my to-be-read list. Praise indeed!”
Midnight:
Affair de Coeur 5 Stars. “Mistress by Midnight is a well written historical of young love thwarted by duty and responsibility. When the lovers finally reunite as adults, life has changed them both and not necessarily for the good. All is not as it seems, and their journey of self‑discovery is both heartening and extremely sexy.”
Thank you all for making my Tuesday a much better day than it started out to be!
A B+ review for Mistress by Marriage from Smexy Books begins with “I absolutely adored this book…The combination of the angst, the humor and the naughty romance really makes this book for me.” To read it all, click here. Thanks, Mandi!
Mistress by Marriage was a featured book on the RT Book Reviews website, and it keeps flirting around at the tail end of the Top 100 Kindle historical romances. 🙂
I just turned in the second London List book. And my editor said she loved it! There were times when I didn’t love it–I gave the h/h a whole lot of obstacles to overcome and I think they were mad at me, LOL. Now I’m working on a proposal for something new. I have 3000 words, no title, and I’m iffy about the characters’ names. And the plot? Don’t be silly. Guess I’ll have to come up with one before I send it to my agent.
The Smart Bitches Sizzling Book Club to discuss Mistress by Marriage is set for Tuesday, September 27 from 9-10:30 PM EST. I’ll be there the last half hour to give away some of my backlist books to participants. For more info, go here.
And it’s official. Both London List books will be published (2012? 2013?) with my working titles for them…are you ready?….Lord Craig’s List and Lady Anne’s Lover. Yay!
