People are Talking about "The Sweet Flag"


From bbmrebel's Rebels' Ramblings LJ
"The First is a really cool story by Jeanne Barrack - The first book of her's that I've read, it's called "The Sweet Flag" available through Loose-ID
http://loose-id.com/detail.aspx?ID=712A nice length novella coming in at 97 pages - This hooked my curiosity cause it mentioned the Civil War and Vamps - a combo you don't see often - She made these characters believable, she told a detailed story - and even though we kinda know what the end will be.. she keeps the story interesting so you want to read every word. I'm very glad I read this."

So am I, so am I!

First Review for The Sweet Flag!

I am so pleased to receive the first review from Elisa Rolle: My Reviews and Ramblings. Elisa is a reader from Italy and often reviews m/m books, so I'm happy she enjoyed Brandon and Ron's story!
Here's a snippet from the review:

"The book is written if first point of view and follows Brandon's thoughts. Like Brandon, also Ron seems to be a very "easy" man regarding sex, and so their relationship is from the start down and dirty. Ron has not a simple behavior, he sometime acts like a domineering man, and wants to be the Alpha of the moment, and soon after he seems to need the strenght and the reassurance of Brandon. Brandon instead is simpler, he has his scope in mind and he will do anything to reach it.
The story is not very long, little more than 100 pages, but it flows smoothly and enjoyable....But one of the strenght of the book is also to have perfectly mixed present and past, making enjoyable both stories."

Thanks, Elisa!

New Review for "The Collector 5: The Crystal Flacon"


4.25 Hearts from Kyraninse at Night Owl Romance
This was a truly enjoyable read – especially with the snippets of Lucrezia’s past interfacing with the present. I thought that the idea was a novel one and the execution superb....Although I loved Abby’s courage and resourcefulness and Antonio’s old-world charm – I have to admit that it was the interaction between Abby and Lucy that really stole my heart. The courtship between Abby and Antonio was tender and passionate, but the one between Lucy and Abby was what really moved me...Jeanne’s definitely going on my “to be closely watched for new releases” list."

Rough Blurb for "The Sweet Flag"


With The Sweet Flag coming soon from Loose Id, I thought I'd share a rough blurb.

Ron Tayvail has guarded Matthew Hardesty's grave for years. When he learns of Brandon’s interest in the legend of “The Vigilant Soldier”, he’s determined to dissuade him from any deeper investigation. How could he realize that he’d fall in love with the fellow on first sight? And yearn to be with him. For always.
Can two men overcome differences beyond race -- and reality -- and become lovers?
