Reviews of Husband Material

Thanks to reviewer Wendy at Hearts on Fire for the 4.5 Hearts review of Husband Material! I am always glad to read that a devoted viewer of Bachelor/Bachelorette shows has enjoyed the book. I was nervous when I based the novel on the reality TV genre that I wouldn’t get it quite right, and people who watch the shows would hate it. But Wendy liked it!

Oh.  My.  God.  A gay twist on the Bachelorette reality TV show?  I could not wait to read this book (admitted show junkie here).  I was expecting something good based on the theme alone (I would love nothing better than to see a real life gay Bachelor season).  What I ended up reading was even better than what I expected and I loved it!

Thanks to the wonderful Serena Yates for her review of Husband Material at Rainbow Book Reviews. It’s a terrifically thoughtful review, and it absolutely made my week to read it. Here’s the concluding paragraph:

If you like reality shows where contestants are voted off every week, and even if you don’t, this book will hold your attention with all the strategies behind every move anyone makes. If you enjoy reading about tortured characters who struggle to understand themselves and what is important in life, and if you’re looking for a read that is as amusing as it is hot and intense, then you will probably like this novel.

It’s nice that readers appreciate how I torture my characters!

The first review is in, and it’s like Christmas all over again. Thank you to Sid Love for the wonderful, thoughtful, and make-me-jump-up-and-down-in-my-chair review of Husband Material. I was holding my breath until I got to this:

I was so hyped up to read it, there was no way it could live up to my expectations.

Yes. It. Could.

Aaaand my heart could start beating again. I really appreciate reviews from readers who have clearly taken the time to think about the book and its characters, and this is a marvelous job. This bit, near the close of the review, is what made my day:

Most people raved about Frat House Troopers and, sure, I liked that one, but in my opinion, with Husband Material, Xavier Mayne knocked one right out of the park.

Thank you, Sid and reviewer Donna, thank you so much.
