Top Pick from All
Romance eBooks
By Cris Anson
It’s no secret that writers write in a vacuum. Even if their
office is just a corner of the dining room with kids underfoot and the TV
blaring, they are surrounded by only their characters and the world they are
creating. With critique partners it’s still a lonely occupation, day in and day
out, to face the computer with our insecurities as well as our prose.
After a few months or a few years of writing, rewriting,
polishing and editing, we send our baby off into the world. If we’re lucky, an
editor likes it enough to offer a contract and we rejoice when it is released.
Then we wait. We wait for that first fan letter, that first
review, that first royalty check. Because deep down, we worry that others won’t
think it’s as good as we think it is. I was no different. My latest Ellora’s
Cave release, Mercy and Redemption,
was published on January 9 and up until today no one had written a review of
it.
Yes, I know that it’s harder to get reviews now. When my
first book, Dance of the Seven Veils,
was published in January 2005, I had several 5-star reviews that first month
and fifteen good ones within six months. Today there are dozens more publishers
and huge numbers of authors writing erotic romance. I was a grain of sand on
the Jersey shore and nobody was noticing my
work any more. I was starting to get paranoid after almost three months without
a word of feedback.
And then today happened. What a review! All Romance eBooks
gave Mercy and Redemption a “TOP
PICK” in their Wild Fire newsletter. Here’s part of what they said:
Mercy and Redemption, the
second book in the Mercy series from the creative pen of Cris Anson, is a
romantic and tangled plot that pulls the reader into the depth of the
character's passion that tugs at the heart. The touches of reincarnation
and the idea that a love that strong between souls finding each other makes for
an unbelievably gripping and clever storyline that charms…
The sparks fly and the sex scenes
are absolutely smoking hot whether all together or when Mercy spends a little
quality time in both Adam and Seth's bed rocking the sheets…
Mercy and Redemption is
another perfect example of why author Cris Anson is on my auto-buy list.
I can't wait to see what's next for this exciting series.
This is the story:
While searching an old cemetery for
likely gravestones to illustrate her colonial cookbook, Mercy Howe meets two
hunks who are tracing their ancestry, and sparks fly. Literally. When Mercy
casually touches Seth and Adam, her vividly erotic vision involving all three
of them feels like a memory, not a dream, and awakens long-dormant sexual
urges. Their kisses are achingly familiar, and she welcomes each in turn into
her body. Then she spends a no-holds-barred weekend with both men in her bed
and discovers an intimacy—and a past—that blows her mind. As memories resurface
from three hundred years ago, Mercy will have to choose whether to relive the
experiences from their joint past or forge a new bond with either Seth or Adam.
Or both.
If you enjoy hot erotic romance with a touch of
reincarnation, please check out Mercy and
Redemption. This and all my other books are available at Ellora’s Cave,
Amazon, All Romance eBooks, Barnes & Noble, and other digital publishers.

I've been published for 4 years and I'm still waiting for a fan letter. *groans*
