Amazon's Witch Hunt!!!

I just hopped online and started checking out some of my emails and low and behold to my shock Amazon Amazon stripping erotic and GLBT titles of ratings
Hi everybody! By now, you’ve probably heard about this, but if not, a brief recap:

Today, Easter Sunday (or Palm Sunday, if you’re Orthodox) Amazon decided to remove all GLBT titles (and a LOT of erotic romance titles) from their sales rankings, effectively “hiding” them from the best seller lists. Would the fact that Erastes’ Transgressions and Alex Beecroft’s False Colors were topping some of thoses lists have anything to do with it? You tell me (and congratulations, Alex!)

In Amazon’s mind, these books don’t “deserve” to be there. They don’t “deserve” to be seen. It might offend somebody. Well, I’ll tell ya, there’s a lot of things that offend me in this world — that doesn’t mean I expect the world to make those things disappear to make me comfortable.

So on Easter Sunday, a day when possibly more than any other we should be embracing the ideals of acceptance and love, Amazon has seen fit to do this. If you, like me, DON’T feel it’s an appropriate action for Easter (or ever) for a bookseller to decide what books “deserve” to be listed as best-sellers (call me weird, I thought the books that deserved to be best-sellers were the ones that uh, uhmmm… sold the best?) there are a few things you can do:

1. Sign the petition
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/in-protest-at-amazons-new-adult-policy
has decided to play big brother to what we get to read ...removing the GLBT and Erotic titles b/c the might offend...well...Im offended! I have spent a ton of money at amazon and even though I dont read GLBT, I DO NOT believe in censorship!! Its like racism...there is no place for this! I am a grown woman and dont need Amazon telling me what I should and should not read! Please link to the petition that Sierra so kindly put in her post below!!!!

Man...Cherise Sinclaire is fast becoming one of my fave authors!!! Dark Citadel is one of the hottest books I have read! Its even better than her first novel Club Shadowlands! I highly recommend reading the first, just b/c its so great too, but there is no need to read it prior to this one if you dont want to b/c Dark will stand alone. Master Dan is the ultimate dom and God where can I find one of those! He is a tortured soul also, which always makes for a great hero. Kari is conservative and caring, the BDSM life fascinates her but some of it really makes her shy. She is no skinny minnie either, which makes me love the book even more! Kari comes to Shadowlands with her current off and on boyfriend who is not so nice once they arrive. They end up parting ways the first night they are there and she is teamed up with Master Dan (I could only be so lucky). Master Dan lost his wife three years prior and has shut his heart down to any love at all. He blames himself for her death and nothing will change that. Or will it. Kari might be just what he needs to break out of his self loathing shell. There is such great chemistry between the two of them, and I really can identify with Kari not wanting to but wanting to give up control. Very hard thing to do with some of the requests wanted by Master Dan...just trust me on this...its a great book!!!!
Congrats out to Cherise. Now I have heard another Shadowlands book is on the way, and this one is going to be a darker one with Master Nolan! Whooo hoooo! Let the countdown begin!

Coming up!!

Showing some L~O~V~E~ for my new discoveries

First of all you can read reviews on all of the following novels at www.twolipsreviews.com - some are my reviews and some are others, but trust me we wont lead you astray!


Elle Kennedy can write one steamy novel let me tell you! This is book 2 in the series and I fully intend to go back and read book 1...didnt know it was there. Carson is a Navy SEAL and a bad boy to boot...but oh so good in the sack...funny how when the tables are turned and he wants a relationship but the heroine Holly doesnt makes for really interesting reading. Plus who doesnt love a man in uniforem. Hooahhh!


Dee Shore is an awsome writer. I stumbled upon The Finisher by accident and fell in love with the characters. Sage and Presley are so great together and this is a romance that has steam without the steam if you know what i mean. I find it rare that a story like that not only holds my attention, but hooks me into more of her work. Plus her heroine is not crack whore thin YEAH FOR THE PINUP GIRLS!!! She has set up a really great world here and to my extreme happiness she is going to continue this series with Matts story! Dee is also a really nice person to email. She responds quickly and I love it when authors take the time to talk to us fans.


Here is another of my current fave titles....this is actually quite a bit racier than the previous b/c it is full BDSM..now i wasnt too sure about this myself but man oh man with the characters in this story you will find yourself trying to get lost on the back roads of Florida looking for this "Club" check it out if you dare! The story is delish and Master Z is the stuff only your wildest dreams are made of!!
Cherise is another really awsome person. She is so polite and I have emailed her personally to tell her how much I love her stories...I was bummed that I didnt get to review them but, the girl that did really did her justice! Way to go Victoria!




And last but oh so def. not least is Kaitlin Maitland. Phoenix Rising is another one of my new faves...Connor and Jessa...Poor Jessa her low life cheating rat bastard of a husband decided he didnt want her anymore and that she would just be screwed. Aint that just like a man...well she is going to show him and Connor is just what the doc ordered. She isnt used to the kind of bar Connor owns...she is a pampered upscale princess...but she learns how to loosen up really quickly (as would I im sure) under Connors skillful hands. I emailed Kaitlin and am hoping that she will be revisiting the Phoenix soon! She emailed me back that im not the only one hoping that and that she is thinking about it....please please please...s'all im sayin!

So that is my rant for this evening and hope I did some justice for these three wonderful authors!!!

The Countdown is on!!!!

April 28th Lover Avenged comes out. The story of Rhev and Ehlena!!! I have loved Rhev from day one and cannot wait!

Plus Ehlena is a nurse...a girl after my own heart! The exerpts that Ward has posted on her site are phenomenal!

ALRIGHTY!!! I HAVE SEEN THE PURPLE LIGHT!
Rhev's book is done. Now let me say, after Lover Enshrined I was sooooo fed up with Ward. I was just done with her books. Phury was such pussy and his mate sucked too. I was pissed b/c she gave a ton ton of time to the new troika and I really didnt like and still am not too sure about JM. So when the Compendium came out I was like no way dude, not happening....well....she threw in a short story of Bella and Z and Im telling you that thing would never have sold so many copies if she hadnt. Plus another bonus was a blurb about my main man Rhev. Now for some reason, dont know what it is...but I can read a book and usually p/u whether its gonna be worth the read. Let me say, Ward had me on this one. The blurb reminded me of her earlier works.

So that being said, I have devoured Lover Avenged. Ward has redeemed herself in mine eyes. This is probably bumped up to my third fave, my first being of course Z and Bella, and my second, which is much controversial with people being V and Jane. Rhev's story was very well done. Ehlena is the effin shit! She is sooooo real, she has a real job, she has to struggle to survive and take care of an aging father and the glymera have done the family wrong. Its in your face realism from a paranormal standpoint. You can just picture yourself in her shoes. To be honest I didnt experience that with any of the others. Rhev is heartbreaking. Yes he's a pimp, drugdealer, criminal...but you know what how far would you go to take care of the only people you loved and that loved you? Hey, dont put me in that sitch cuz your gonna get the same results.

There are also alot of other story lines happening here...Wrath and Beth are featured alot and it was great to see them back in action. Wrath ends up losing his site completely. He also was going out fighting without Beth knowing and man...shit hits the fan.

Tohr is back, he wallows around for about half the book, then Lassiter tells him Wellsie send him to save Tohr and whups, I better shape up. Which kinda irritated me. He really destroys JM in this book before he wakes up and as far as JM is concerned he is done with the "family" sitch.

Speaking of JM....well....lets just say you see the next book unfold. Like I said before im not a big fan of his, so its going to depend on the other arcs in his book and the next one coming out b/c I dont think I would buy it in H/B.

Lash is in this one alot, as he is the new face for the Lessening society...good stuff happening with him too.,

I really recommend it great job by Ward!
