When Taran Lorenz enters Clay Stevens's life, Clay is still reeling after his long-time partner, Javier, abruptly ended their relationship. Taran gives Clay the motivation to start living again, but Clay’s insanely jealous ex threatens to nip their relationship in the bud... only Taran won't give up, even when Javier gets their mutual employer, the manipulative billionaire Vincent Torres, to mark Taran for “removal.”

It's the start of a fight on three fronts: Javier confessing his continued love for Clay while he tries to run Taran off, Taran fighting to be loved and accepted for who he is—not what he is—after magically returning from the dead, and Clay trying to figure out how he got stuck in this fairy tale of monumental proportions and where he can find the happily-ever-after ending.

Sculpting Clay is an absolutely beautiful book....The plot is excellent, but I won’t go into the details of the whole thing in this review. I wanted to talk about the characters and how they made me feel. Sculpting Clay changed my perspective on many things, made me believe “otherworldly” beings do exist, and it’s a book I won’t forget in a hurry. Beautifully written, with perfect images to go with the emotions I guarantee you’ll feel, this book is WELL worth The Golden Nib and then some....

Book of the WEEK: 4/06/2010

"...there may be more twists and turns than a windy road, with certain reasons coming to light as the story goes on, the story is one of love, friendship, finding new love, and working things out as well as forming new friendships. Very enjoyable and recommendable read." ~Gabby- June 9, 2010

 "...if you want something in the middle, not exactly sweet romance, not exactly erotica, probably this is a good compromise." ~Elisa - May 12, 2010

5 Stars on:

 "...Sculpting Clay’s plot has many layers with lots to hold the readers attention. There are bits of heartache and angst, intrigue, bad guys with interesting ways of getting what they want and so much more including some great romance and hot sex..." ~ Helen - April 8, 2010

Rated 5 Delightful Divas!

"...Between the passion exhibited by Clay and Taran, and the need to bring a conniving businessman to justice, this story has plenty to keep readers entertained till the last page." ~Critter Nymph - February 12, 2010

 3 stars

"...Overall though, this was a sweet romance story with an interesting and unusual paranormal twist. The paranormal storyline worked well alongside the contemporary feel of the romance and although the end got a bit slushy for my tastes, this didn't detract from some of the tender romantic scenes earlier in the book. ..." ~Jenre - March 1, 20

All I Want for Christmas

Spending Christmas in New York City was supposed to be for fun, not for falling in love, but when David Gilden’s buddy thinks it’ll be funny to crank-call a stranger, David’s perfect, cookie-cutter life takes an unexpected twist. He’s been in denial for years about being gay, and with just one kiss, he realizes all he wants in life is to be with Nicholai Markoff. Even if he knew ahead of time the mysterious stranger was a vampire, being in the man’s bed would’ve still topped David’s Christmas wish list—and he was Jewish!
