Nice review and blogging away from home...

Okay, it's the last week of Nanowrimo and the clock is ticking louder and louder... so of course I've been web surfing... in my travels I discovered a lovely review for CAUGHT ON CAMERA WITH THE CEO - it was chosen as a December Top Pick over at The Season

Caught on Camera with the CEO by Natalie Anderson is a stellar emotional love story. This contemporary romance is complex but believable with two outstanding lead characters and plenty of passion to form the perfect quick read.

...

Dani is smart, independent, and sexy. But most compelling about Dani is her strength. She’s been deeply scarred by life but she’s made the best of it by relying solely on herself. Even more interesting is that Dani is sarcastic and a romantic-pessimist who doesn’t believe in love-at-first-sight nor soul mates. This makes Dani an unusual Harlequin heroine as all these personality traits are usually those of Harlequin heroes. But as a reader it was so emotionally fulfilling to watch Dani stop living life as a loner and grow to love and trust Alex.

While true that Dani is an excellent heroine, Alex is her perfect hero... a departure from the traditional power-wielding, manipulative boss often found in the secretary/boss romances. He is warm, caring, and is the perfect counter-weight to Dani’s tough exterior.

... As Alex and Dani’s emotional relationship deepens so too does their physical relationship. This makes for a sensual read that is based less on the physical mechanics of who-does-what-to-whom-and-where and more about emotional connection through physical intimacy.

... it is a satisfying emotional romance with two lead characters readers will adore.


You can read the review in full here. And thanks so much to the reviewer, Janine, - it's wonderful motivation for me given I'm currently bogged the nitty gritty of my wip...

Lastly I'm over at Tote Bags later today talking about Nano non-failure - come and chat!

There is a story for Lorenzo coming - in the US its going to be released as REBEL WITH A CAUSE and it's out in Feb 11. It was out in the UK/Oz/NZ as UNBUTTONED BY HER MAVERICK BOSS.

Thank you, although I'd still like to find out whether Dani does ever locate her brother.

You might want to reread the book ;) - that mystery is resolved before the end...
