RECOMMENDED: The Shadowy Horses by Susanna Kearsley is $1.99 – for today only, I think! Egads!  We selected this for the 2013 DABWAHA before becoming aware that it wasn't eligible (oops).

AND THEN VANISHES FROM … Continue reading Books on Sale: Historicals from Susanna Kearsley, Victoria Dahl & a Slow Cooker Cookbook

Be Mine: by Jennifer Crusie, Victoria Dahl, and Shannon Stacey:  A Guest Review by CarrieS

Be Mine is a Harlequin anthology containing three novellas.  The one by Jennifer Crusie (Sizzle) is a re-release and Too Fast to Fall (by Victoria Dahl) and Alone With You (by Shannon Stacey), are new. Since the plots are lighter than air, I shall sum them up in just one run-on sentence each, followed by a mini-review of each story: Sizzle:  Marketing Executive falls for the new guy who oversees her budget. Too Fast to … Continue reading Be Mine: by Jennifer Crusie, Victoria Dahl, and Shannon Stacey:  A Guest Review by CarrieS

But when Marissa York’s brother approaches him, desperate to preserve Marissa’s tenuous reputation, Jude does prove heroic enough to offer to marry the girl.

Start Me Up by Victoria Dahl

Start Me Up by Victoria Dahl

Back when Jane and I started the Save the Contemporary campaign, I found a reader who was mighty pissed that we’d recommended Talk Me Down as a contemporary romance. Why? In her opinion, it was romantic suspense. I disagreed – I thought the secondary story line operating behind Molly and Ben was not nearly as pronounced and spicy as the conflict between the protagonists themselves. I liked Talk Me Down – and I’m not a … Continue reading Start Me Up by Victoria Dahl

Dear Bitches, Smart Authors Podcast: Victoria Dahl, Small Towns, and Talkin’ Dirty

Featured image for Dear Bitches, Smart Authors Podcast: Victoria Dahl, Small Towns, and Talkin’ Dirty

Jane and I are back with yet another podcast. Victoria Dahl joins us to talk about switching genres from historical to contemporary, living in small towns, and writing heroines with sexual authority. Then, we discuss talking dirty – in novels. Sarah says, “Damn, Beavis.” Jane says she doesn’t have a wide vocabulary of a very special nature, and we float the potential of a Very Special Instructional Podcast in the future. (Not really). Mp3 is … Continue reading Dear Bitches, Smart Authors Podcast: Victoria Dahl, Small Towns, and Talkin’ Dirty

Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl

Talk Me Down

In a lot of ways, the book is a very familiar and almost typical setup:  Molly Jennings, a big city girl with a secret, returns home to small mountain town, surrounded by old friends and familiar parental figures. Actual parents optional, some assembly required. Ben Lawson, the sheriff,  has lived in Tumble Creek his whole life and has little patience for her secrets, or for his attraction to her. Sound familiar? I could name a … Continue reading Talk Me Down by Victoria Dahl
