Lush Book Review: 5 STARS!!!

Lush Book Reviews
I’m super excited! Lush Book Reviews gave On the Surface five stars. Here is a juicy quote from the review.

“I have a thing for sports romance books and this one made the list of a must read. Tim and Erin are so right for each other. The love scenes in the book are hot! Kate Willoughby writes her men really well and the banter between his team and Tim were very enjoyable to read. I loved how Tim falls for Erin right away and doesn’t hold back his feelings for her. I am excited to read the next book in the series!!

On the Surface is truly one of the best books I have read this year and it happens to be the first book in this new series. If you want a good contemporary romance this is the book for you!! A must buy!”

Flies High and Hot!

That’s what the One Good Book Deserves Another review site said about Just Winging It! Here’s more of what she said…

Have you ever sighed happily? Read something, saw something, did something that just made you take a breath and release softly as pleasure heated your heart and happiness curled your lips into a soft smile? That’s what this novella, and this series, for that matter, has done to me time and again. What a little gem this series is, and how lovely an addition this story is to the whole…


I’ve said it before but it bears repeating, Kate Willoughby has a genuine gift for blending smoking hot sex with significant emotion and depth of both character and story. It’s a gift that shouldn’t be missed. Sorta like this series.


Woot! She really liked it. She liked the whole series. I’m on Cloud 900.

Or better yet, buy it from Ellora’s Cave, at Amazon, or B&N.

4 Star Review

Tracy of One Good Book Deserves Another has a wonderful blog filled with honest, specific reviews. Wanting a no-holds-barred critique of my books, I approached her with some complimentary copies of my series.

Here are some excerpts from her review of ONCE UPON A KISS, the third Be-Wished book.

It takes a special sort of talent to put forth erotic novellas/short novels with a paranormal/fantasy bent and not only find the right balance between the sex, the romance, and the story, but to execute it well enough to be felt throughout each tale. With this third installment of her Be-Wished series, Willoughby once again proves she has such a talent in spades!



There are so many elements of this story and the series overall that Willoughby does so well. The flawless continuity and seemingly effortless flow of world building and exposition is impressive. Character reaction is at least relatively realistic in the face of some pretty wild and fantastical paradigm shifts. 


Three touching, emotional, and fabulously sexual erotic novellas/short novels into the Be-Wished series, and Willoughby is still going strong. Frankly, I just can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

“A Special Treat”

So, I’m thrilled to share this fantastic review from the One Good Book Deserves Another website.

Here’s a snippet: If you’d like to read the whole review, click here. 🙂

So this is what you get when you take a little magic and a little chocolate, add a dash of humor and a bunch of hot sex, and stir with a surprising depth of emotional connection. Wow! All In is an erotic PNR novella that thoroughly satisfies.
