			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 of 5 Flames - Kitten - Hotly Ever After</font></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is my first trip into literary erotica with this author. And I have to say that I was not disappointed. From the moment the book started, I was instantly connecting with the main character. Olivia made me smile at times, and at first I wanted to just hug her. Then, the unexpected happened.<br />
&#8220;Not only did a cop come banging at her door insisting on entry. But he busted in, pinned her to the wall, and started to search her! And it wasn’t just a normal pat down, oh no! This was every kinksters dirty little cop fantasy come true. A hunky cop that just goes a bit too far. Add in some handcuffs, a wicked hot anal session, and I am totally a goner!<br />
&#8220;Not only was this book spicy and totally earns the label of erotica, but it touched me. Somehow this author got me to love both characters, made me crave a good ending for them, and then drew tears from my eyes at the end of the book. Yes, yes, I was crying with Olivia. I won’t tell you why, that would ruin the fun of you reading the story.<br />
&#8220;The moment I finished this short, I went in search of the authors other works and can’t wait to read them! It is not an easy task to get that much emotion, storyline, and sex packed into that small of word space. But this author does it for me. She does it, satisfied me, and made me not need more of THIS story, but more from this author in general. If you are in the market for a saucy, quick read, I recommend this!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 of 5 Blissful Sweet Peas - Mrs. Condit</font></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Nicole Austin’s HARD LOVIN’ is a very short, very spicy hot story and in order to not give away any spoilers, this review is going to be very short as well. Olivia is home alone on Valentine’s night after a difficult shift as an ER nurse. Her boyfriend Dex is also doing shift work and will not be able to join her. Olivia’s quiet evening is interrupted by someone banging on her door and… I can’t tell you one more thing. You would be well advised to pick up this short story and read it aloud to your Valentine lover. Things just might get really wild and sexy. Let’s just say Olivia’s vibrator will not be needed this night. And there is a terrific, romantic HEA at the end.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">Donna - You Gotta Read Reviews</font></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is a super short story, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was fairly intense throughout and very emotional at the end with lots of hard core sex and fun fantasy play.  Ms. Austin’s Hard Lovin’ is well written and very satisfying.  Overall a great read.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 Feathers from Francesca - Under The Covers</font></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I have to admit when this book started off I was thinking to myself &#8220;How could I be enjoying this, this is obviously wrong?!?!!&#8221;. But it was extremely sexy! Olivia opens the door to a cop who just barges in, puts her against the wall for questioning about a guy that they are looking for and that Olivia, as a nurse, had treated. The questioning is a bit more &#8220;intimate&#8221; than you would think would be appropriate. <img src='http://www.nicoleaustin.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&#8220;This story was extremely short but I really enjoyed it.  It was hot and I liked the couple together a lot.  Well done for under 30 pages!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uP7XpTYdIZY/Tq-lXUIyeEI/AAAAAAAADcU/zDdBCuImcZ8/s320/%2523rating-toppick.jpg" title="Top Pick" alt="Top Pick" align="left" width="320" height="80" /><strong><font color="#99ccff">Top Pick from Miz Heart - Miz Love Reviews</font></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Ah, here&#8217;s a tale that will have you seething at one point over the nastiness some women display. Not our heroine, who is adorable, but some females at a party who are jealous of how she looks and how men appreciate her outer packaging. Sara has no clue she has this effect on men, doesn&#8217;t see herself that way, which makes you love her even more. Her ex-husband, Richard, is a total weirdo&#8211;and I mean weirdo with a capital WUH. He doesn&#8217;t seem to get the gist he isn&#8217;t married to Sara anymore and says things as though they&#8217;re still together. He gave me the damn creeps.</p>
<p>&#8220;However, she has the gorgeous Jack, and together they do more than steam up the book pages. Oh my LORD, the sex is HOT and fast, and I loved every bloody word!&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ls23s9BZtXw/Tv-3MH17osI/AAAAAAAAORI/BmOdoSRcksY/s200/5-stars-rating.bmp" title="5 stars" alt="5 stars" width="155" height="30" /><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 Stars from Carnation - Long and Short Reviews</font></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I found myself believing this story and the characters as though they were real people. The tale of best friends who find they share a deeper love is a popular and realistic fantasy, here made fresh and fun. This story was also hot and wild all the way, with the toys playing a creative role. This is the first time I’ve read something in an erotic scene that was completely new to me…I won’t give it away!</p>
<p>&#8220;Nicole Austin’s timing is perfect and the flow of events and dialog leads the reader on an exciting and absorbing romantic journey that pleases the mind and senses. She&#8217;s effectively fluent in her writing skill, especially when describing the good vibrations. Whew! Great job, Ms. Austin!</p>
<p>&#8220;I look forward to reading more from this dynamic and accomplished author, and highly recommend, Good Vibrations for a choice read.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://media.nightowlreviews.com/review/reviewertoppick.png" title="Top Pick" alt="Top Pick" height="106" width="154" align="left" /><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 Stars and Top Pick by Trish of Night Owl Reviews</font></strong><br />
&#8220;I was anxious to read this sequel to &#8216;Greatest Fantasy&#8217;, because I met Max and Brayden and just couldn&#8217;t wait to read their story, and believe me it was worth the wait.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ever covet what your best friend and neighbor has? Could there be a woman like Bella our there for the two of you? Would traveling the world help you find her or could it be just like in OZ, &#8220;there&#8217;s no place like home? Max and Brayden are about to find out.</p>
<p>&#8220;All men are jerks and Steve is the biggest, he really took Kaylie not only for a ride, he took her for everything she had, she is not only broke but also homeless. Thanks to her friend Bella she’s now at least has one gorgeous pad to crash in, since the owners, best buds to Bella and her hubby Rhys are traveling abroad.</p>
<p>&#8220;What happens when you mix a person who has drunk too much Tequila and one who has overdosed on Nyquil? Maybe the beginning of something great! Are there really &#8216;Fairy Tales&#8217; and &#8216;a happily ever after’s&#8217;?</p>
<p>&#8220;I love the books by Nicole Austin and when I read Bell and Rhys story just knew that Max and Brayden would eventually get their story. I wasn&#8217;t disappointed&#8230;.Nicole Rocks!&#8221;</p>
<p>I would give this book and extra 5 if I could &#8230;just for &#8220;Hotness&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 Hearts from Angela - Sizzzling Hot Book Reviews</font></strong><br />
&#8220;Make Mine a Double is so easy to get trapped in, and I‘m not complaining. Kaylie is such a realistic modern women, you can’t help but be on her cheer leading squad. While Max and Brayden are both lovable in their deferent respects. The three of them make for some naughty, very enjoyable ménage scenes. I would recommend this to many but if you are shy of the men being lovers in a ménage, then you should take caution to Make Mine a Double. Although, you might find yourself enjoying the fantasy more than you thought.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">Emily - Sensual Reads</font></strong><br />
&#8220;Charming story, I cracked up when they initially meet.  Kaylie flits around with so much gusto that she becomes an instant favorite heroine, she is a perfect match for domineering Max and easy going Brayden.  Wonderful read.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 cups from Lototy - Coffee Time Romance</font></strong><br />
&#8220;The fear of wanting something so badly you can taste it is portrayed so vividly in the actions of Max, Brayden and Kaylie. Max is the dominant, Brayden the peacekeeper and Kaylie the spark that ignites both men into a frenzy of love and lust. Reading the passion not only in the bedroom but in the hearts of these characters is incredibly erotic and it is easy to fall head over heels for these three lovers. Ms. Austin stokes the flames of desire for her characters as well as her readers, and the inevitable explosion leaves everyone burning for more.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 Kisses - Julianne - Two Lips Reviews</font></strong><br />
&#8220;Ms. Austin writes a steamy, hot read that kept me turning the pages and then I needed a cold shower when I finished it. All of the characters complimented each other very well and they had depth and lots of emotion. Make Mine A Double is an enjoyable read that will leave you panting for more.  I&#8217;m definitely going to read My Greatest Fantasy to see how Bella, Rhys, Max, and Brayden got together.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 Blue Ribbons from Suzie Housley - Romance Junkies</font></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Nicole Austin’s TAKEN should win the 2011 award for suspense of the year. Her writing style is so realistic; you can feel every emotion the characters are experiencing. TAKEN is a book that you will not be able to figure out until the last pages are reveals. Then as you finish the last passage you will find yourself stunned at how it ended. I highly recommend TAKEN to anyone who enjoys a high action, heart stopping, romance.”</span></p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">3 Cherries from Tiger Lily - Whipped Cream Reviews</font></strong><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Holy guacamole Batman, this book is hot!!!</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Catchphrases aside, this is one smoking book. I needed more than a fan and a cool drink. I needed to fix my ereader and smooth out the melted spots. I knew from the blurb what I was going to get in this story, but it is way hotter than any blurb. Phew.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“I’ve read other books by Ms. Austin, and she never fails to bring out the heat factor. Her writing is nice and fluid, drawing me into the story and the worlds of Mikael and Dani. The chemistry between them is palpable and I didn’t want it to end—once it started. I have to note, this is a sequel–Erotique–and even thought I didn’t read that book first, I didn’t feel I’d missed anything. This story stands on its own quite well…</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“If the reader is looking for something hot for a cool night, this story delivers. And I have to add the love between Dani and Mikael does come across as aching yet strong. I know, that sounds like a strange way to describe a love story, but trust me, it fits. There are moments of agony, sweetness, and white hot heat.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“If you want a story that will warm everything in the room to boiling, you need to read Taken.”</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><strong><font color="#99ccff">4.5 Stars from Chirs- Night Owl Reviews</font></strong><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;I for one enjoyed the story and Mikael’s possessiveness even as he gives his wife what she craves. And as she is given the gift of his understanding she takes that final step that will ensure she gets what she wants and needs from her marriage and her husband, and what he really needs but is too controlled to allow.&#8221;</span></font></span></font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 Kisses - Julianne - Two Lips Reviews</font></strong><br />
&#8220;Taken by Nicole Austin is a short story packed full of action, emotions, and is fast paced. The storyline is well written and exciting, and keeps the reader turning the pages. I admire Mikael&#8217;s strength and his love for Dani; I liked his character very much. I believe Dani loves her husband; she just needs something extra from him and he doesn&#8217;t understand why she needs it.</p>
<p>&#8220;Taken is a sequel to Erotique, a book I haven&#8217;t read yet, but you can bet that I will be reading it very soon. I want to learn more about Dani and Mikael and their life together. I really enjoyed reading Taken; it&#8217;s a very fast read that would be great for a lunch time break. Read Taken by Nicole Austin today and put a little zing in your day.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 Hearts from Jacquelyn R. Ward - The Romance Studio</font></strong><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Intense! There is no better word to describe this passionate and sexually charged story. Right from the first page you are drawn in to the attraction that is exploding between Brock and Tink. This arousing story weaves a tantalizing tale sure to make the reader&#8217;s heart race. Brock&#8217;s sexual dominance really comes to light in this book and Tink is strong enough of a woman to handle him sexually. But the sparks really fly as their interaction outside of the bedroom heats up. As the sexual tension reaches new highs so do the characters&#8217; emotions. Tink goes through a horrible experience that will absolutely bring tears to the readers&#8217; eyes. This brings out even more sides to Brock and Tinks&#8217; characters and shows the reader more depth to characters we&#8217;ve already seen so far in this series. This book is an emotional rollercoaster full of explosive scenes that is sure to keep the reader on her toes. I found myself very quickly drawn into the story and couldn&#8217;t put it down until I was done. And even then the story lingered for some time afterwards with me in my thoughts. If you enjoy sexy dominant cowboys and the women strong enough to take them down you&#8217;ll love this book and the series.&#8221;</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><strong><font color="#99ccff">Miranda - Joyful Reviews</font></strong><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“The Shooting Star Ranch is hotter than ever in Brock’s Hellion. There are so many wonderful unique characters in Brock’s Hellion! It’s so much fun. I found myself laughing hysterically so many times! I love that Brock calls Tink his hellion! These two are both so obstinate. I love it! Brock and Tink have such amazing chemistry not only in the bedroom but out as well! I really enjoyed how Nicole Austin wrote these two. I found myself asking just how they were going to work because Tink is such a dominate woman and Brock desperately needs a submissive. I felt that Ms. Austin wrote their story in a beautiful way that really allowed each character to discover what their true self needed. Brock’s Hellion also had a nice edge of danger as well. Brock’s Hellion is a thrilling steamy novel with fabulous characters. I for one cannot wait for the next Corralled book!&#8221;</span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"> </span></font></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 Tea Cups from Lily - Happily Ever After Reviews</font></strong><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Brock’s Hellion is part of the Corralled series which is a fantastic set of books set on The Shooting Star Ranch. Fans of Ms Austin will not need to be told that Brock’s Hellion is a must read, the characters are colorful and defined, the plot twists and turns wonderfully and the hot and steamy sex smoulders off the page.</span></font></span></font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"> </span></font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Brock’s hellion is Tink, a woman shunned by her father. Now fiercely independent she’s certainly not used to taking orders from a man, especially a bossy, gruff cowboy whose moods swing faster than a lasso. I really enjoyed the way they wound each other up, the sparks flew hot and fast and it proved to be a much more exciting mating dance to read about than dinner and a movie!</span></font></span></font></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Brock is a fabulous alpha male – big, tough and deliciously sexy but with an agonizing internal battle going on. I adored how he referred to his supressed Dominant side as The Beast and all the metaphor’s that went along with this were great. It really felt as though he was at war with a dark and carnal part of himself and I was unable to put the book down so desperate was I to see this side of him. Of course Ms Austin did not disappoint and with Brock’s cowboy mates in tow he pushes himself and Tink to the limit – it’s hot stuff!</span></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font></font><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“But when Tink finds her heart and her body crying out not just for Brock’s love but also for his rough, possessive treatment she’s thrown into confusion as to what this means about her psyche. Her tangled emotions about her feelings for Brock and what he expects of her in his bed turn what she always thought she knew about herself on her head. Can she really find her own submission and his erotic torture such a turn on?</span></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“The secondary characters are well known to anyone one who’s read the other books in the series and it’s like hanging out with old friends. However, Brock’s Hellion is a great stand-alone read and if you haven’t indulged in the others in the series it will more than likely have you hunting out Savannah, Tamara and Kate’s passionate stories. An old villain turns up and creates an undercurrent of danger lurking beneath the surface and eventually brings about a climax of a different sort.</span></font></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Verdict – Brock’s Hellion is the story of two very different personalities clashing, learning to trust one another and then being honest about their darkest desires and their hopes and dreams for the future. It is a great way to enter The Shooting Star Ranch, meet all the inhabitants and learn about the history of this wonderful world Ms Austin has created. I recommend this book for anyone looking for a hot, beautifully written, romantic read.” </span></font></font></p>

<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Why is it that so frequently when you indulge in a guilty pleasure, you get caught, and not in a good way? Isabella discovers that she is a voyeur. Then she discovers that her new neighbors enjoy sex in public. OK, well, maybe not in public, but outside on their property, which she can see from her bedroom balcony. Then she finds out that they know she’s been watching them. However, this time, getting caught turns out to be fun.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“This book was not a smooth journey from introduction to HEA, but it was an enjoyable ride watching Bella, Rhys, Max and Brayden find their HEAs. As in life, filled with self – doubt, the main characters stand in their own way constantly to prevent them finding their own happiness. No outside influences needed. Luckily, their friends step in and stop them from making messes of their own lives.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“You do need to leave your inhibitions at the door to enjoy the book. There are lots of steamy, erotic love scenes between the characters, but they are very well written, and absolutely intrinsic to the story. If you like a little real life strife in the middle of your romance novel, where the fantasy is in the wooing, then this is the book for you.”</span></font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 Blue Ribbons from Contessa - Romance Junkies</font></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“All great things must come to an end – sad, but true. ENTWINED HEARTS is the final book in the Heart of Fire series. If you have had the pleasure of reading the first four novels in this series; then, you are in a breathtaking treat with this thrilling finale. I was hanging on the edge of my seat with enormous anticipation, keen to see just how the storyline would unfold. I must say that I wasn’t disappointed one bit. It was great to revisit with each of the four couples, to witness their heartfelt reunion after so many years apart and to experience yet another passion, sexual encounters among the special individual couples. This was simply the perfect ending to a spectacular saga. While ENTWINED HEARTS can be read as a standalone novel, I would suggest reading the first four novels in release order for historical purposes and more importantly for pure enjoyment pleasure.”</span></p>

<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“WOW! What a book! This one had me hooked from the very first sentence. “This whole wild ride started while I was indulging my newest guilty pleasure – voyeurism.” Phew! It just gets better and better as you turn the pages.</span></font><br />
<span></span><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Bella is a great character! She’s feisty and tough at work; she has to be, but at home she loves to sit back and enjoy the view from her balcony—and I don’t mean the powdery sand and the glorious sunsets Florida has to offer! Oh no! The three hot guys next door are ample entertainment for any hot-blooded woman; add in the fact Bella has denied herself love and sex as she’s concentrated on her career, this makes for explosive action when the voyeur finally visits her horny neighbours.</span></font><br />
<span></span><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Ryhs is delicious and one hell of an actor—the role play scene in the middle of the book had me all in a fluster. I want a Rhys!! He’s tough and gorgeous and man enough to accept his desires—with the help of Bella—and the story abounds with heart-stoppingly steamy sex scenes between the two of them and extras.</span></font><br />
<span></span><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“The prose is artfully written, particularly Bella’s internal monologue. Travelling with her on this wild ride felt very personal. Understanding her fears and reactions to situations was effortless as the snappy dialogue and heartfelt emotions pulled me along. I was rooting for her and Rhys but also for the others to find their happy ever after too; because the secondary characters, Max and Brayden, are delicious and I can only hope that the talented Ms Austin has more stories in her head which feature these guys!</span><br />
<span></span><br />
</font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“My Greatest Fantasy is all about satisfaction. Satisfaction on every physical and emotional level you can think of. It has a fast-paced plot and sumptuous scenes making it a must read for fans of contemporary erotic romance, though even if that’s not normally your cup of tea, treat yourself to this one, you won’t regret it!”</span><br />

<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;Nicole Austin’s story, My Greatest Fantasy, is an erotic tale complete with hot, steamy sex scenes that will have the reader glued to the pages. This is a very hard story to put down. The plot twists keep the story moving and the pages turning.<br />
“I really liked the main character Bella; she is easy to identify with in the story and displays very human female personality characteristics. I loved Bella’s complete surrender as she abandoned control of her sexual restrictions. I was laughing out loud at Bella’s descriptions of domestic living with a man.</span></font></span></font></span></font><br />

Bella in turn helps them to remain close. Their wild escapades will leave the reader breathless. The relationship progression between the characters takes on realistic aspects and problems. It helped the characters seem a little more real on the pages.</span><br />
<span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“My Greatest Fantasy is a story that shows how love can take many different guises from friend to lover. You won’t want to miss out on these character’s adventures.”</span></font></span></font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"> </span></font><br />

“<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">This story will blow you away. First with the raw sexual hunger which combusts between all these characters and with the wonderful way the author writes dialogue. Nicole Austin&#8217;s writing is funny, sexy, raw and very real. You will feel like you&#8217;re talking with your girlfriend. Bella dishes it out never holding back; speaking frank and honest about how she feels and what she wants even when she is scared or insecure. There is humor throughout this story and a depth of character and plot you may not expect with such great sex scenes. Ms. Austin has written a humorous love story that will fold you in warmth and smiles while still wiping your tights from the last explosion. The story spans enough time you feel connected to the characters and are able to see how and if the many relationships in this story are able to survive. It is easy to think of Bella as a friend who you would share the ups and downs of life with. You will easily support all her hard work ethics and cheer for her joy when she gets the guy(s). I highly suggest getting My Greatest Fantasy for a hot sexy story you will read many times!&#8221;</span></font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"> </span></font></span></font></span></font></font></p>

To say that this book is steamy is a vast understatement. Right from the get go you are sucked into the wonderful lust filled world, with no want to let go. I have read many of Nicole books over the past year and with each one I fall more and more in love. Rhys and Isabella are a phenomenal couple. Both are open and honest in their sexual desires with each other. Isabella is a great lead heroine, her need to spy is histerical. I laughed so hard when she was caught red-handed. Rhys was also a great man, both caring and sensual. Boy wouldn’t I mind having a man like that as a neighbor like that. Brayden and Max, although secondary characters, had me at hello. I can’t wait for their story, although I am just as happy with them together. I loved this book and can’t wait for my next Nic Fix.”</span></span></font></span></font></span></font></span></font></span></font></p>

The author&#8217;s ability to display her delightfully wicked sense of humor page bringing laughter to both her characters as well as the situations makes for page-turning thrills. Larissa and JD are well-rounded, well thought out and intriguing characters that the reader can&#8217;t help but feel as if they really come alive. As heroes go they don&#8217;t come any better than JD Harmon. He&#8217;s a sexy, charming and appealing bad boy who understands what he wants and isn&#8217;t afraid to grab it. Larissa is mature but still sexy, adventurous and determined heroine whose personality will appeal to the wild side that lurks inside us. Ms. Austin does a superb job of bringing forth and conquering Larissa&#8217;s uncertainties and insecurities when it comes to a lasting and permanent relationship with her younger man. The involvement of Larissa&#8217;s children as well as JD&#8217;s co-workers and uncle as supporting characters makes story entertaining but also adds an additional depth to the hero and heroine. The heated love scenes are erotic, playful, tender and a whole lot naughty!</span></font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;Summer of the Cougar the latest in The Cougar Challenge series from Ellora&#8217;s Cave hits the mark with it&#8217;s deliciously and sensual charged story.&#8221;</span></font></span></font></p>

“<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Nicole Austin’s Summer of the Cougar is one unbelievably hot, sexy read. I was captivated from the very get-go… The plot moved seamlessly and there was really no slowing down or stopping of this duo. Fabulous job by Ms. Austin. Summer of the Cougar earned a well-deserved spot in the Cougar Challenge series. </span></font></p>

<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;The love scenes are so titillating and seductive that toys are a must. The dominating way JD directs their lovemaking is quite hot and that yummy piercing, oh my! JD may put out fires for a living but he can definitely create the intense and explosive heat in the bedroom. I found this miscommunication about their relationship quite interesting, but that at times I wanted to give Larissa a good shake to make her see that JD is the real thing. Ms. Austin has delivered a wonderfully emotional, self discovery journey and intriguing older woman and younger man story full of romance and eroticism. A definite keeper!”</span></font></span></font></p>

<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">I absolutely loved Summer of the Cougar and how playful and flirty and sexy Ms. Austin made the word cougar, and the idea of being a cougar, sound.</span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"> </span></font></span></font></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;Rissa is hilarious, and it was laugh out loud funny to read her thoughts that often veered to naughty and saucy whenever she thought about JD. Along with the strong, confident, and fiery personality that is clear in her dialogue and actions, it made her one of the most enjoyable lead female characters I’ve ever seen.</span></span></font></p>

A man who likes to be in control, it was no wonder Rissa succumbed to JD’s relentless charm. Incredibly sexy and sweet, with a heart of gold and an appetite to die for, JD is truly a wonderful character, and I thoroughly enjoyed his more sensitive side as he fought to win over Rissa.</span></span></span></font></p>

“<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">Tempestuous certainly sums up the heroine to this story…well it is most likely an apt description for both main characters; emotional, passionate, and wild&#8230;</span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"> The character development in <em>Tempestuous</em> was great. You were dragged into their lives and were able to watch the entire goings on as if you had a front row seat. The flow of the book was perfect; each page had you wanting to turn to the next. I hadn’t read a <strong>Nicole Austin</strong> story before, but I can assure you it won’t be my last.</span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“The BDSM scenes and sexual content were unique and always fresh throughout the story. The passion between the characters was outstanding. The ending left you satisfied, but wanting more. If you haven’t read a story by this author, this may well be the perfect one to start with.”</span></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></span></font><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><font color="#99ccff"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">Top Pick, 5 Stars from Trish of Night Owl Reviews</span></strong></font></span></font><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></strong><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span Field="ReviewText">&#8220;Read this exciting story and experience what Evie finds out about becoming a submissive. Go behind the scenes and learn what exactly the roles of the Dom/submissive, Dom/slave are. I personally found it very informative as well as growing with Evie and Niko.&#8221;</span></span></span><strong> </strong></span></font></p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 Blue Ribbons from Suzie Housley of Romance Junkies</font></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“Nicole Austin’s TEMPESTUOUS is one book that will set your soul on fire. This reviewer has never had to set a book aside just to allow her body enough time to cool down. This is one book that is definitely not for the faint of heart; it is written almost like a well in-depth instruction manual that will provide a crash course of the BDSM lifestyle. If teachers came in the form of Niko, there would be a mad rush to sign up for his class.”</span></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"></span></font></p>
<p><font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 Cherries from Sweet Pea of Whipped Cream</font></strong></span></font><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“BDSM never sounded this great. Evie Sloan is a business woman, with a curious side. Nicko Kovalenko is a Dom without a sub. Both have an instant attraction that is hard to ignore. That can only get better with explorations.</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“This book was absolutely amazing&#8230; Niko was absolutely my favorite Dom I have read so far. He actually cared enough about Evie to try new things&#8230; Also normally I get thrown off by the lack of spine in the women. I love a woman to be able to voice her own opinion and have a little something to say. Evie is the best example of this that I have ever seen – still submissive, but on her own terms.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><strong><font color="#99ccff">&#8220;Enticing&#8221; from Jennifer Bishop of RRTErotic</font></strong></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">“A bit of experimenting becomes TEMPESTUOUS in this enticing erotic novel. Training a novice isn’t something new to Niko, yet Evie is a surprise in every way. From the moment they lay eyes on each other, there is something drawing them together, and it is not just lust. The chemistry between them sizzles, and they spend as much time getting to know one another as they do playing. Likable characters and an engaging story make TEMPESTUOUS a book you won’t want to miss.&#8221;</span></span></span></span></p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">5 Kisses from Victoria – Two Lips Reviews</font></strong><br />
“The minute I started Tempestuous, I couldn’t flip through its pages fast enough becoming utterly delighted with Nicole Austin’s wonderful main and supporting characters in this BDSM feast.</p>
<p>“I most enjoyed the way Evie flourishes under Niko’s tutelage as Ms. Austin wisely gives us a submissive who could match Niko in intelligence and honesty. At one point in their story, Evie has a stumbling block which a lesser Dom would have exploited, utterly humiliating her. Niko patiently encourages Evie to try again and that’s the point when I instinctively knew that he’d not only won her heart but mine as well. Tempestuous is the first story I’ve read by Nicole Austin, but it won’t be the last. I sincerely hope she returns to this D/s universe she’s created, giving us some of the secondary couples’ stories which are so fascinatingly featured in this great BDSM story.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4 Siren Stones from Yvette Lowe – Siren Book Reviews</font></strong><br />
“Nicole Austin has written a sensually dark and erotic story of trust and wild desire that leaves you wanting more. You will love the dark and so very sexy, Niko and the things he teaches Evie about herself and her desires. This is a story that will be in you read again list for quite some time.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">4.5 Hearts from Kathryn - The Romance Studio</font></strong><br />
<font face="Verdana"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;I loved Tempestuous. I especially enjoyed the way Evie spoke to herself, and Niko was a man who was very easy to fall in love with&#8230; Nicole Austin&#8217;s writing is sensuous and erotic as she takes the reader on a Tempestuous journey with her characters that is exciting and fulfilling&#8230; I devoured Tempestuous. I highly recommend it to readers who are new to the BDSM scene as well as those who already enjoy the subgenre and looking for another book to add to their TBR pile.&#8221;</span></font></p>

“<font face="Verdana">I enjoyed Kenna and Rykers challenges and how they met; even tho Kenna really wanted the bad boy. Ryker soon managed to change her mind. I loved how their combined powers came together&#8230;</font><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;Sometimes it is hard to read a book that is middle to the end of a series. Luckily Kenna&#8217;s Cowboy can stand-alone. I am anxious to go back to the 3 previous books so I can meet her 3 sisters and how they met their mates, not to mention all the sex I am going to hear about.&#8221;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;I know the next book in this series is going to be the big end all evil and I am looking forward to Asmodeus finally getting his own. I can&#8217;t wait to see what happens when all 8 of the &#8220;Hearts of Fire&#8221; get together and combine all their powers&#8230;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt">&#8220;This is a series that I would definitely recommend to friends.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><strong><font face="Georgia" color="#99ccff">5 Blue Ribbons from Contessa of Romance Junkies</font></strong></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt"><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt"><img src="http://www.romancejunkiesreviews.com/blueribbontitle.jpg" style="width: 350px; height: 90px" align="left" height="90" width="350" />&#8220;I found KENNA’S COWBOY to be an excellent read.<span> </span>This story was H-O-T! I was hooked from the start and I just had to keep reading at a continuous pace until the very end.<span>  </span>Ryker was my type of hero - he was tall, dark, handsome, mysterious and dangerous.<span> </span>And, most of all he knew just how to successfully break down the mountain that Kenna had built around her heart.<span> </span>Likewise, Kenna had a lot of spunk with a kick-ass attitude to match and she was determined to have her way.<span> </span>The interaction between Kenna and Ryker whether in or out of bed was intense, passionate and breathtaking.<span> </span>There was never a dull moment to be found whenever these two got together.<span> </span>KENNA’S COWBOY will have you hanging on the edge of your seat until the very end.&#8221;</span></span></p>
<p><strong><font color="#99ccff">Mirands from Joyfully Reviewed</font></strong><br />
“Kenna’s Cowboy is the fourth book in the Hearts of Fire series.  However, it is not necessary to have read the other books to understand and enjoy this book.  Nicole Austin did an amazing job of tying all the other books together, giving you all the important information and making you want to go back and read the other books.<br />
“Characters are really important to me when reading a book, in Kenna’s Cowboy I enjoyed Kenna so much.  I loved her stubborn sarcastic nature.   She has one of my favorite lines in the book she says, ‘You want me to go find my yin so we can make some little yangs.  I get it…but I don’t want it.’  The line made me laugh but also made me empathize with her.  If I was handed this insane destiny at 18, I would be refusing to acknowledge it as well.  I’m a big fan of cowboys so, of course I love Ryker.  Ryker has the good ole southern boy down pat and he is the perfect counterpart to Kenna’s hard edges.  As always it seems Ms. Austin creates complex characters whose passion leaps of the pages.  Kenna’s Cowboy has the perfect combination of action, hot sex, and characters you want to learn more about.  I am definitely looking forward to Entwined Hearts, book five in this series!”</p>
