Reviews You Say? They love to Read! Meet our Reviewers

I am Cara Davidson from New Jersey.

I can not remember a time in my life when reading was not an important and defining characteristic of mine. I devour books by the hundreds, love escaping into stories of other worlds, true love, and wondrous discovery. When not reading, I can be found helping out with animal rescues, ghost hunting, traveling, oh, and working as a Registered Nurse in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I am also currently working on my Masters in Nursing Education, and look forward to teaching the next generation of nurses.

There is no genre of book that I haven’t at least tried πŸ™‚

My name is Crystal Newman. I have been living in Inwood, Iowa for 18 months now, I am from Virginia. I have been married for fifteen years and have four kids. I love to read and that is my passion in life. I read romance and these are the different kinds that I read: erotica, paranormal, mΓ©nage, and historicals. I write reviews for several sites and I post my reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and sometimes Allromance. I also beta read for several authors and I am on many street teams. If it wasn’t for authors I wouldn’t have anything to read so I try to get their names out there. My favorite authors are Laurann Donher, Sam Crescent, and Christine Feehan just to name a few. If there is anything else you would like to know just ask.

I used to post reviews on Amazon but since they’ve been taking down reviews and limiting the reviews allowed on their page I haven’t been posting on there as of late.

The Romance Genres I read are Erotic, Contemporary, Regent, Historical, Fantasy, Paranormal.. Pretty much ALL of them lol!

I love reading and writing, its been my life since before I can even remember and now its something that I am pursuing as a career.

I love to read! I read all different genres of romance from paranormal to erotic to mystery/ suspense and everything in between! I co- head two Street Teams one for Marie Harte and the other for Kristine Cayne and am one Several others! I also am a cheerleader this year for Susan Mallery! I have been married for 10 years and Have one 3 year old little boy who I stay at home with! I am addicted to chocolate and coffee and love the beach :)I post Reviews on Amazon, B&N, Goodreads and anywhere else author request if possible!!
I hate reviews under a 3 simply because just because I feel like if I didn’t like it didn’t necessarily mean it was a bad book it just wasn’t for me and being on street teams I know that even 3’s can hurt an author! I guess growing up in the South mama and grandma always said If you can’t say anything Nice don’t say anything at all so I try to find something positive about every book!

Sample review on Goodreads
Just One Kiss (Fool’s Gold, #11)
by Susan Mallery (Goodreads Author)

Allyson Brann’s review May 29, 13
5 of 5 stars
bookshelves: to-read
Read in May, 2013

This was another excellent book by Susan Mallery! I have absolutely fallen in love with the Fool’s Gold Series! This particular book was Patience and Justice’s Story! Patience fell in love with Justice when she was 14 and he was 16 but Justice had to leave with his Uncle suddenly in the middle of the night without explanation! Patience ended up getting pregnant and married at 18 to the wrong man only to have him leave her and her new baby, so she moves in with her mother who has MS! Justice shows years later looking to start a business in Fool’s Gold with an explanation nobody would of expected as to why he had to leave so suddenly! Patience and Justice find that the chemistry between them is even stronger than it was when they were teenagers but can they fight their own demons to be together! I absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend it! I can’t wait for the next one in the series!

Kicking and screaming my way here! LOL! I adore reading. I can’t think of a more wonderful thing to do with my spare time. I reviewed for a year and a half with sizzling hot books and loved it! There is such a wonderful world of authors out there with their own unique twist on life. I still review on occasion on goodreads and amazon, else where also upon request. I have an account at B&N also, though I’ve yet to post there.

I won’t be doing reviews a lot as writing and SSLY and my day job keep me pretty busy, but I will be doing some. You can check out my reviews on goodreads.

I read a huge variety of books and contrary to what I write and our blog I read just about anything that’s fiction. I love Scifi, YA (though I’ve read some that I really really wish I hadn’t!), westerns (I devoured Louis L’Amour when I was in high school and still look for a violent series called Edge-anyone recognize that one?) steampunk and dystopia. I adore end of the world novels-and I have no idea what category those are! Besides awesome of course!

We are looking to add more reviewers as no matter how awesome these ladies are we don’t want to burn them out! And really everyone deserves a vacation once and a while!

Enjoy and check out our new Facebook offering SSLY the reading room! https://www.facebook.com/groups/483908478369298/
