Romance, Women's Fiction Fans? - Page 2

Mary Balogh fans...her new book, the last of the Huxtables series "A Secret Affair" is available at Fictionwise with a 100% micropay rebate! I just started buying from fictionwise, so I don't have experience - but it sounds like a good deal. The ebook price is way high ($20) but I suppose the rebate makes it palatable.

Thank you, Imogen.

For some reason, my Kindle sales have tripled since June 1. Thank you to everyone who has purchased my book. I'm deeply grateful. I have two new 5-star reviews...nine 5-star reviews now. I'm really pleased.

This 5-star review was just posted on Amazon about The Merry-Go-Round:

"It's been awhile since I read a Romance Novel so it was fun to sit down to Donna Fasano's The Merry Go Round. Her heroine is a modern woman, a lawyer, who it totally relateable even down to the way society has taught our generation of women to think. I chuckled at the flashback that Lauren has of her college years sitting around a pool with her friends, with Lauren being the only one ogling the carpenter working on the house while they sunbathe. Lauren's friends are dreaming of men in three-piece suits driving BMW's leaving only Lauren to appreciate a man who can actually fix things. Considering today's climate, I don't think young women will be looking at bankers in quite the same way these days.

Anyway, back the novel, it's a romance novel so you have a man and woman at odds with each other, or in this case, a woman more in conflict with herself then she is with her drop-dead sexy soon-to-be ex-husband. And what a man Greg Flynn is! As far as I am concerned, this man is perfect. He's gallant, noble, tall-dark-and-handsome and as a bonus, knows how to wear a tool belt.

What's really important in a romance novel are the scenes that lead up to the bedroom, and Fasano does a marvelous job of creating sexual tension. This novel is a long slow burn that never lets up until the end. The characters are fully created and with the main character growing throughout the novel. Or growing up if you will.

This is exactly the kind of book I want to be reading on a plane ride or on a beach. It's as relaxing and pleasureable as sitting with friends enjoying a bucket of margaritas. Sure you could be reading War & Peace, but sometimes you just need a book that doesn't tell you about how terrible the world is, a book where love conquers all, that assures you that there are plenty of romantic men out there just waiting to be found."

Needless to say, I'm very pleased!

I received another great review yesterday:

"I really enjoyed Donna's book The Merry Go Round. It presented a whole new side to falling in love. It makes us remember that love and marriage aren't always the easiest things to keep together. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort and understanding of each other.
I enjoyed the glances into a lawyer's life and the cases that are interspersed throughout the story and I also liked learning a little about merry-go-rounds.
Overall a very likeable book! "

I've reduced the price of my book, The Merry-Go-Round, to 99 cents. It's a romantic comedy. I hope you'll check it out.
