It’s books like these that leave me in awe of authors who write category romance. Their stories are tight, concise, and to the point, weaving in romance and emotion. A very difficult task at times, I have a feeling. HelenKay Dimon packs a huge punch in this romantic suspense with Deputy Sheriff Jonas Porter who [...]

Thank you for the opportunity to chat with you today. I always love visiting TGTBTU. I love romantic suspense, which likely isn’t a secret. I write erotic shorts, contemporaries without suspense, and am about to try some other romance subgenres, but romantic suspense has long been a favorite.

I tire of reading erotic very quickly. Mostly because it seems to be the same story over and over again. More fucking than content or emotion. I’d like some story with my sex, please. I’m very happy – happy! – to tell you Joely Sue Burkhart does that and more. Yours to Take is a [...]

    Like any good sub, the writer does her very best work. Then she submits.
