Contest Closed! The winner is... Sandy!
I was recently asked by a friend to review her first published work. It is epublished by Decadent Publishing, a company that publishes erotica (which is what this is) as well as various sub-genres of romance and even some YA. Seleste deLaney is a penname for... actually, I can't tell you that. =P But you can read an excerpt here.
She pitched it to me as an adult story with some paranormal thrown in. The paranormal is the part that attracts me to a lot of stories. Jocelyn is our MC, and she is in love with Max. Or perhaps it's just "in lust with". And I can see why. Unfortunately, I can't say too much about the story, or you'll know the big secret that's revealed at the end.
The only complaint I have is that it's just too short. I wanted more. The writing is superb, and I am looking forward to more from her. Hopefully, longer pieces, and, of course, I'd read more short stories as well.
This type of story isn't for everyone, but if you're an adult and enjoy erotica, you'll definitely enjoy this tale.
Synopsis:
Love is a wonderful thing. Unless you don't get a choice in the matters of your own heart.Jocelyn has loved Max since the day she met him. Even when he scares her enough to leave, she can't resist going back. No matter how many times she tries to break free from him, she ends up in his arms and bed again. Not this time. Jocelyn needs to be free and Max isn't going to stop her from walking away -- no matter how hard he tries.

Thank you for the wonderful review of Of Course I Try. We at Decadent Publishing do love it as well.
Just a little detail to clear up. Decadent doesn't only specialize in Erotic romance, though we have some wonderful offerings in that genre. We do YA, mainstream with romantic elements, almost all sub-genres of romance and heat levels from tame to smokin' hot. We want to allow everyone to indulge their book fetish on our site.
As I see you fight back against cancer you may also be interested to know Decadent Publishing showcases one book per month in our 'Read For a Cure' feature. All publisher profits for that book in that month benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life in our own efforts to fight back against a disease that has ravaged our families.
Thank you again and we look forward to seeing more reviews on your wonderful blog!
