Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews: It’s a Winner…

Photobucket
Four stars from Rhayne of Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews!

“This book is filled with sweet, it’s filled with sexy, it’s filled with love and understanding, and best of all it’s filled with tons of actual hockey time from a writer that knows the game.  I can’t wait to read more about The San Diego Barracudas.”

Book Pushers: “This may be my new favorite hockey romance…”

I’m thrilled with the review from MinnChica for obvious reasons. My evidence is, once again, some tears in my eyes and a huge smile on my face.

Here’s a short excerpt from it:

All in all, I thought Willoughby’s first In the Zone book was absolutely incredible. The hero and heroine were both well developed characters that drew me in from the very start. The romance was so realistic and believable, and I loved the way these two built up from nothing to the solid relationship they had by the end. I can’t wait to see what Willoughby has in store next.

Woot. MinnChica, I have book two all ready for you, coming out in August.

FIVE STARS from Happily Ever After-Reads

I’ll admit it. This review made me get teary. It’s not just that she loved the book. It’s that she GOT the story. She picked out all the same things that make this book my favorite so far.

Here is a quote from the review:

This is one of the best, most satisfying romances I’ve read in a long time…Tim, Erin and their romance was so well done, I couldn’t get enough. Theirs is the type of romance that was easy to fall into because they’re both so likeable, so easy to root for and if On The Surface is a sign of what’s to come in this new series by Kate Willougby, I can’t wait for more.

If you’re a writer, you’ll understand why reviews like this can stir up the emotions. If you’re a parent, it’s as if your child did something and people are coming up to you and saying, “Wow! That was amazing.” It’s heady stuff. The only thing that tops it are perhaps fan letters. Those are super cool too.

Harlequin Junkie Review – FIVE STARS and a TOP PICK!!!

I cannot express how excited I am that Heather at Harlequin Junkie gave On the Surface five stars! Not only that, they chose it as an HJ Top Pick. Thank you, Heather. I’m so glad you’re a Barracuda fan!

Here’s the last line of the review:

“If you are a sport romance fan then I highly recommend this series. I’ll be on the Barracuda bench – cheering them on.”

And check out the cool little banner she pasted on my book cover! I love it.
