Here’s what Sarah W. from Fallen Angel Reviews had to say about Spontaneous Combustion and Dreams of the Oasis I

 “Overall, this anthology features some strong characterizing, original plots, and plenty of steamy encounters to move the stories along. This is a great collection of stories from some of Ellora’s Cave’s best writers.”“Nicole Austin steams up the pages with Spontaneous Combustion. Jake and Maddy create some scorching heat together. It’s always intriguing watching friends become lovers and luckily, Ms. Austin manages to spice up this romance cliché with some definite hot and erotic moments. However, it’s when they finally sit down and talk that the real emotional connection finally happened for this reader. Ms. Austin has served a scorcher in Spontaneous Combustion.”

Anya Khan from Just Erotic Romance Reviews gives Spontaneous Combustion a 5 Star rating and an Orgasmic heat level

“Ellora’s Cavemen: Dreams of the Oasis I is an unusual anthology. While some stories are good, others are flat out phenomenal. Spontaneous Combustion represents another of my favorite Romantica™ stories - shocking but with a logical plotline and really hot sex. This is the one facet that runs throughout the entire anthology: Great Sex. This book will curl your toes and make you glad of it. The paranormal aspect is a part of most of the novellas, but women finding themselves and handling their new lives with determination connects most of the stories… I can easily recommend this anthology to any and all.”

Here’s what Ophelia from Erotic Escapades had to say about Spontaneous Combustion and Dreams of the Oasis I

Jake and Maddy’s chemistry together is explosive.”"Ellora’s Cavemen: Dreams of Oasis Vol. 1 is filled with beautifully passionate tales to keep the reader entertained. On a whole this book was fabulous. I liked all of the stories, but a few of them were fantastic. This book is a jewel that should be added to the romantica reader’s bookshelf.”

Candy from Ecata Romance gave a 5 stars to Dreams Of The Oasis I:

“Ellora’s Cave has collected some of today’s best writers and produced one of the best collections published. This collection is one of the best anthologies I have read in a long time. When the reader gets to the end of one story, he/she is plunged directly into another one. I did not want this book to end. Each story has page turning plots and hot sex. I think this is one of the best anthologies that Ellora’s Cave has produced.”

4 Flags from Holly, Euro-Reviews

“This is one hot story. Do all good catholic girls have this steamy a fantasy life? Spontaneous Combustion is well written where you feel Maddy’s excitement as well as her discomfort over truly getting what she wants. Don’t we all have a childhood crush that we’d love to truly have lived out a fantasy with for even one night? This one lives up to the expectations!”

4 Stars from Leigh Rowling, Romantic Times Book Reviews

“It’s truly ‘Spontaneous Combustion’ when Maddy’s best friend, Jake, promises to fulfill her darkest fantasies. Prepare to be titillated by Austin’s short story.”

Glenda K. Bauerle from The Romance Studio gives Spontaneous Combustion – Ellora’s Cavemen Dreams of the Oasis, Volume I - 4 ½ hearts

“Spontaneous Combustion by Nicole Austin - Jake is different tonight. Her best pal, who inspires the naughtiest thoughts in Maddy’s mind, is whispering in her ear naughty, delicious tidbits while licking and lapping near her earlobe… up till this very moment, she’s always been one of the guys. There had never been anything sexual between them; they actually were the best of pals. So what in the world is going on? And the night will bring a few more surprises… **dee-licious**”

Nikita Steele, Joyfully Reviewed
Whew!  Now I know what reading a wicked, naughty sexual Spontaneous Combustion story feels like.  From start to finish, the plot is filled with luscious, steamy, sinful sexual images – whether as a fantasy or a real act.  Throughout this read, I was in a constant state of arousal.  Nicole Austin did a superb job of making me squirm around in my seat with heated desire and had me wishing for my own firefighter to put out my internal flame.”

Nicole Harvey, ParaNormal Romance
“Ms. Austin brings this fantasy to life. Wow, Nicole Austin did it again, she knows how to fill you with descriptions of the characters and the places they live that can blow you away. She builds the story and shows you the love that these two share for each other that just pulled at my heart, and made me wish that they would get what they deserved, each other. This world she built was full of fantasy that came to full life and vivid detail and made me feel I was right there with them. That shows a gift of words that brings the story to life. I can’t wait to read more by Ms. Austin in the future.”

Here’s what Nannette from Joyfully Reviewed had to say about The Boy Next Door:
“The Boy Next Door is a fun and sexy story.  I enjoyed the wild and fun lifestyle Cathy led before Blake returned, but I love the commitment and searing passion that she shares with Blake even more.  Cathy plays the part of a wicked temptress, but, in truth, her heart lies with just one man.  Blake is a gorgeous hero who is both possessive and tender.  The ending is so very romantic.  The Boy Next Door is a steamy, touching, highly recommend read!”

Here’s what Desiree fromErotic Escapades had to say about The Boy Next Door

Using the edge created from attending the school of hard knocks, the heroine drafted by Nicole Austin, gives women everywhere a reason to hold their heads up. Gutsy and talented while living with the hollowness created from a lost love, Cathy shows women you can still persevere. I love it when an author allows me to see the flaws of the characters but still shows that it doesn’t stop them from excelling. Blake was sexy and an ideal
choice for the woman Cathy grew into. I enjoyed the pace of The Boy Next Door, the heat in the relationship and the growth these two experienced while deciding to choose love.

Here’s what Danny from Love Romances had to say about The Boy Next Door
Nicole Austin spins with The Boy Next Door, a beautiful and hot story with two fantastic main characters… With all these problems, explosive encounters between them are preprogrammed and the sparks are flying between the two. Add some really interesting and fascinating secondary characters and you have the perfect mixture for a real keeper. This reviewer thoroughly enjoyed the book and could not stop reading. Nicole Austin is an auto-buy for this reviewer. This reviewer can hardly wait to read more from her.”

Here’s what Ce Ce Johns from Romance Reviews Today had to say about The Boy Next Door

“THE BOY NEXT DOOR quickly grabs your interest and draws you into a spicy story featuring the two sides of a woman’s sexuality. Interesting characters and a fascinating story will make you thoroughly enjoy THE BOY NEXT DOOR.”

Shayla from Romance Junkies gives The Boy Next Door a 4 Blue Ribbon rating

“When a long gone hunky neighbor returns, what’s a girl to do but welcome him home, or does she?”

“THE BOY NEXT DOOR is a fantasy most women dream about. Who wouldn’t want a cute neighbor that goes away only to come back a hunk? Nicole Austin’s story is a high-quality read with all the right twists and turns.”

Tasha Fisher from Just Erotic Romance Reviews gives The Boy Next Door a 4 Star rating, and a Hot heat level.

“This is my first book by Ms. Austin and will definitely not be my last; she has made a fan of me. If you have ever had a thing for your brother’s friend or a close neighbor you can relate to Cat and how she felt about Blake. Another character that caught my eye was Steve, Cat’s brother. I like the way that he was always there to tease the others and help bring them together. The pace of the story is steady. The idea of the plot is a great one and it’s something that a lot of people, men and women alike, can relate to. The encounters between Cat and Blake will keep you glued to your seat in more ways than one. Cat is a strong female that made her own way and finds it hard to listen to her heart. Blake is a man that knows what he wants and won’t stop until he gets it, or in this case, her. Together they make a great couple and will have you wetting your seat with all of their close calls, but when they finally get all of the clothes off, look out. Ms. Austin made a field goal with this book.”

Here’s what Christine, a reader, had to say about TheBoy Next Door

“Nicole Austin has written a hot and sexy storywith characters I can “feel” and bond with because they are far from perfect, and real. Throughout the pages of The Boy Next Door, Ms. Austin has led me through a battle of hearts, which as most of us know can be the scariest, yet most thrilling of battles to have to face. I absolutely adore the duality of Cathy’s / Cat’s personality throughout the story, where on one hand her self protective, shy and innocent side endeared her to me, and on the other hand, her wild and crazy, ‘grab ‘em by the balls and make the men beg’ side is hot and sassy and makes me wish I had the audacity to be like her. And Blake *sigh*…. I love how being a protector is ingrained through Blake’s entire being and how he lives and breathes that part of him. And what I love more is when his heart finally comes into the equation and the tough, military, alpha, bad boy comes to love…. of all things… a Cat with a bit of an identity issue.”

Here’s what author NJ Walters had to say about The Boy Next Door

“I was luck enough to get a sneak peak at Nic’s next book and she has penned another winner!”

“Her writing style is amazingly fluid. It grabs the reader right from the very start and keeps you reading. Both Cat and Blake are complex characters with a whole lot of baggage to work through. They need to sort out their own stuff before they can have a chance at becoming a couple.”

“Sexy, sensual, and incredibly well written, you’re going to love this book. It was a cold winter’s day here when I read it, but after that beach scene…*fanning face*…I certainly didn’t need a sweater. The anticipation builds between the couple with a series of very steamy interludes. Wow!” 

Here’s what Kristi Ahlers from Romantic Times Magazine had to say about The Boy Next Door: Rating: 4 Stars

“Austin’s sexy read should appeal to all fans of erotica. Well-developed characters with steamy chemistry engage from the get-go. The tastefully written love scenes are sizzling yet believable. The past relationship between the two main characters adds to the tension.”

4 Quills from Debbie H - Gottawritenetwork.com 

“The Boy Next Door by Nicole Austin is a well written story of two hearts that have always belonged together. Though life has kept them apart for various reasons it is easy to see that Cathy and Blake belong together. And when they finally get together they very nearly set the pages on fire. But it is the emotional pull that had this reader eagerly turning the pages. Cathy is dealing with some serious issues of abandonment and trust. Ms. Austin refused to sweep them under the rug instead using them to intensify the emotional pull of the story. Blake didn’t come without his own issues as well and the constant tug on both lead characters keeps you enthralled in the story and rooting for these two to find their happily ever after with each other. Ms Austin scores another divine read with The Boy Next Door!”

Here’s what Annabelle from Joyfully Reviewed had to say about Savannah’s Vision:“If you thought Nicole Austin’s Passionate Realities was hot, get out your HAZMAT suit, because Savannah’s Vision is a scorcher! With so many mouth-watering cowboys, is it any wonder I’m all hot and bothered? Savannah is not only gifted with “second sight,” but she also has an eye for hot alpha hunks. Cord is gorgeous, possessive, caring and he is ripped! And Cord is smart. He knows a good thing when he sees it. Savannah is curvy, loving and full of life. These two are loaded with erotic chemistry.”

4 Hearts from Mandie, Love Romances and More “Ms. Austin does an excellent job of conveying the intense connection between Savannah and Cord.

“Savannah is a wild, carefree, fun loving woman who loves practical jokes and living dangerously.  Work is important, but she has an inheritance, so does not have to work if she does not want to. Cord is a bit more conventional and does not quite understand this enigmatic woman.  Their relationship does not come easy, but is rewarding to see unfold. I enjoyed my time with Savannah and Cord, and believe most readers will too. They are deep characters with fears and emotions that come across as genuine.  SAVANNAH’S VISION is well worth picking up for an entertaining read. Besides, did I mention the sex was hot?”

Here’s what Ellen from The Road to Romance had to say about Savannah’s Vision:

“This story is SO VERY HOT I’m surprised I didn’t burst into flames while reading it.  It fulfills every cowboy fantasy imaginable, especially ”Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy”.  I loved the characters of Savannah and Cord.  Savannah wondered if her gift would prevent her from ever having acceptance and unconditional love from a mate.  When Cord first came to the ranch, he felt a sense of coming home.  When he met Savannah, he felt overwhelming chemistry and an immediate mating urge.  Savannah has a tremendous lust for life and at the ranch she is surrounded by hot, handsome cowboys.  Cord is handsome, possessive, protective and caring.  The eroticism between Savannah and Cord is so intense and so beautifully written by Ms. Austin.  There are many supporting characters whose stories closely overlap that of Savannah and Cord.  They are Riley, Brock, Jesse and Zeke, the four cowboys who work on the ranch; Tamara, Savannah’s friend, and Wyatt, a sleazy neighboring rancher.”

“This book is Book 1 of the Corralled Series by Ms. Austin.  I can’t wait to read future stories about more hot handsome cowboys, sizzling sex and wildly erotic relationships like the one shared between Savannah and Cord.  I recommend this book to anyone looking for a hot read.” 

Here’s what A.M. Love from Erotic Escapades had to say about Savannah’s Vision:

“Nicole Austin is a seasoned writer and her second novel is extremely well written. There aren’t any jumps or holes in the story and the plot flows like cream!  The characters in this book all had a depth to them so that you felt as if you were reading about people that you have known for years!  The sex is so hot that the pages will burn your fingers!  There is no way that you can read this story in one sitting without needing some relief afterwards!”“Savannah’s Vision has all the elements of a great book; a little suspense, a bit of mystery behind the hero, hardship for the heroine, and supporting characters that just cry out to have their own story! The cowboys of Savannah’s Vision make me want to go to Montana and hunt down my own cowboys! I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series! Nicole Austin has done it again!!!”

Here’s what P. Grant from Just Erotic Romance Reviews from had to say about Savannah’s Vision:

“Cord and Savannah are likeable characters with deep wells of emotion and pride. The instant arc of attraction between the two of them leads to a sexual bonding beyond anything that either of them has ever known, but Savannah’s worried that her secret will drive them apart. The heated attraction draws these two into their first sexual encounter rather quickly, but it doesn’t seem hurried. In fact, with Savannah’s visions spilling over into erotic dreams, it seems quite natural. But there’s a shadow moving into the couple’s future and Cord is going to have to contend not only with his own feelings over Savannah’s gift, but also protect her from a danger that threatens their future.  Ms. Austin has a fine hand, not only with the extraordinary sex scenes between her characters but with the love that ultimately entwines them. Savannah’s Vision is a first rate, red-hot read on a cold night.”

Here’s what Briana Burress from Romance Junkies had to say about Savannah’s Vision:

“Grab your libidos and hang on for the ride of your life as you experience the erotically charged love between a cowboy and his wild filly in SAVANNAH’S VISION.  Nicole Austin will keep your juices flowing and your heart aching as you read this sexually explicit story.”

Here’s what Marissa from Novelspot had to say about Savannah’s Vision:

“There is something about cowboys that is sexy. From the Marlboro Man to the men who belong in the PBR, they have sex appeal to burn. Nicole Austin’s book Savannah’s Vision, Book one in the Corralled series, slaps you right in the middle of cowboy country.

Ms. Austin is new to my bookshelf, but I can honestly say that I am looking forward to future installments to this series. Savannah’s Vision reminded me of the cowboys I used to work with. When they weren’t trying to make it big in the rodeo circuit, we rode the fences and took care of the herd, and, more often than not, knocked off a day to go mudding and act like kids. We too had to get hosed off in the yard before we were allowed to set one foot in the house.”

Here’s what Glenda K. Bauerle from The Romance Studio had to say about Savannah’s Vision:

“The author writes in a very descriptive manner giving the reader a wonderful view of Savannahs surroundings. The picture of Cord massaging Savannah or the visual image one has of Savannah dancing in the moonlight on the way to get Moon Dancer; very very nice. It was a good feeling to see that Savannah discovered the good side of her gift; that not all her memories would be of bad experiences. That sexy Cord; you just love a man who knows what he wants and doesn’t hesitate to take it. I’m looking forward to future stories with the other cowboys. Very enjoyable reading.”
