BOOK CLUB: The One That Got Away by Kelly Hunter

1) What was the genesis of your story? A bunch of romance author friends and I were comparing Presents alpha heroes to the likes of Christian Grey and Gideon Cross. Dominant behavioral traits defined them all, yet Presents heroes didn’t really dominate in the bedroom. Was this a line constraint? Given the success of books(…)

REVIEW: The Trouble with Valentine’s by Kelly Hunter

NOTE: Originally released as “Wife for a Week.” “The perfect Valentine’s gift? As far as women’s fashion accessories went, he was spectacular.

But! I was assured that(…)

REVIEW: Red Hot Renegade by Kelly Hunter

REVIEW: Red Hot Renegade by Kelly Hunter

Dear Ms. Hunter: Reader Statch recommended your books a few weeks ago.   Fortunately for me two things existed.   First, the four books preceding Red Hot Renegade were already digitized and easy for me to purchase and download. (FN1).    Second, I didn’t have long to wait until the fifth and final book in the series(…)
