Header Promotion#350 Watch Me by Shelley Bradley, Bad Moon Rising by Leeanne Kenedy (Samhain)
Watch Me: Shanna is an ambitious dancer, ready to win a major dance competition with her latest partner when she receives a threat to send a DVD of him performing a threesome in public in an exhibitionist club to the conservative judges of the competition unless she drops out. She goes to see Alejandro, co-owner of the club, and the two of them set a trap performing in his club to try and catch the blackmailer. Ali knows that being watched really turns Shanna on, though she's totally focussed on winning. Will she allow him to stay in her life afterwards or just discard him if they don't catch the blackmailer. But despite a second sexual performance nobody attempts to film them, who made the tape and why? - I guessed who sent the tape but liked the romance between them, loved the scene with her father and her self-discovery.
Bad Moon Rising: Hailey and Zack have been at loggerheads for years because she disapproved of his affairs with both her roommates, but under the effect of a summer full moon she finds herself attracted and they have great sex. Zack has never returned Hailey's animosity but couldn't get her to see past it. Can she overcome her hating habit to see, love and trust the man he really is? - I found Hailey's reactions a bit over the top, but liked how she came to realise that they were excessive and apologized for it. I also liked her loyalty to friends even when they didn't expect it. Very nicely done. Nice one, Leeanne.

No computer
Hi Sadhbh,
My computer crashed on Friday! I hate being without it! I just posted two books from a friends computer & have at least one more book that I need to post. I won't get to that one today. I just wanted to let you know why I wasn't here posting!! My computer guy/friend will check it on Saturday. If he has to take it with him I will be without it for at least another week. Yuck! Can't complain though as he is such a good friend.
I'll post again when I get a chance. Maybe I will get some things done at home instead of reading!!!
One of my friends is letting me use her computer. I still have some other things to do. Later!
Take care, happy reading,

Hey Leeanne - am I that difficult and critical that you would
automatically think I wouldn't like a book
Maybe it's not the right time to tell you that I'll be blogging Dance of Seduction next, but probably not until tomorrow because we're in the middle of a thunder and hailstorm

just remember
that I came up with the pen name AFTER I'd already finished and sold Dance of Seduction. The last reviewer knocked it because the heroine's name is Ellie and they thought I was basing her after myself (Elle). I swear, I'm not that vain!!! LOL!
And I don't automatically assume you're critical--when it comes to my books, I assume EVERYONE will be critical lol

I know its Elle for Leeanne, and Kennedy to get the Irish vote
pity it doesn't work that way

The last reviewer knocked
The last reviewer knocked it because the heroine's name is Ellie and they thought I was basing her after myself (Elle).
OMG. You're kidding, right? Did the reviewer think you used to be an exotic dancer?
And even if you had, is there some rule against basing a fictional character on your own experiences? I swear, somehow you end up with the fruitcakes. It wasn't that Mrs. Giggles, was it?
Makes me want to name my next heroine Lori...
