First item: I’m born to be wild! PaperBackWriter says so. How incredibly cool.
Second: Fallen Angels Reviews gave Dangerous Games 5 stars! Reviewer Jean says:
“I really enjoy Ms. Teglia’s books, and this one is no exception. The book has a believable plot, with just enough twists and turns to keep the reader interested, but what I enjoy most about this author’s writing is her great skill at characterization and dialogue. Drake and Melinda behave like real people; their characters have that extra something that makes them fascinating, so that the reader is drawn into their world and empathizes with their thoughts and feelings. The many male/female love scenes are explicit and very sexy and are woven into the story seamlessly. This book is a keeper as far as I’m
concerned, and I recommend it highly.”
That made it a lot easier to shrug off the other review I got for DG yesterday. Just as an FYI, I understand the reason for the mixed reviews on this book. It’s a good, strong book and nobody has complained about the craft aspect of it. The complaints have been about the erotic aspect, and this is understandable because the erotic element plays to a particular type of fantasy. It happens to be a common fantasy, in the top 10 reported, but it is by no means everybody’s fantasy. To those who enjoy this kind of fantasy, it’s the book they’re looking for. For those who don’t, it just won’t float your boat. On a happy note, both reviewers who did not get their boats floated still liked it overall. But it’s not PC and the type of fantasy it involves is very obvious in the blurb/excerpt so there are no surprises for the reader. Which is probably why readers have been unanimously enthused. They got what they expected or were able to skip it if it wasn’t their bag. Reviewers don’t always get to pick their reads.
