| New review for Magic University! |
| 2010.01.15 09:10:11 | |
|
Tamela Quijas, the author of paranormal romances Blood of the Beast and My Lord Raven, read Magic University Book One: The Siren and the Sword, and loved it! Her full review is up at her blog here: http://tamelaquijas.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/the-siren-and-the-sword-by-author-cecilia-tan/ but among the things she said that made me squee: "I enjoyed every word Ms. Tan had penned to the page, the magical touches of her story dropping me into the midst of a delightful fantasy world filled with mystery and intrigue." And "The Siren and the Sword's tale leaps from the page in erotic, steam filled drama that is guaranteed to singe your fingertips! A wonderful group of friends, magic that flies from page to page, the novel is a delightful sexual romp into a magical world that will not disappoint. Harry [Potter] could only wish he had classes this entertaining." Book Two: The Tower and the Tears will be out in a matter of weeks, so if you've been meaning to read Book One, now's a good time. Especially since Ravenous is having a massive "all books only $1.79" sale right now. Tags: Cecilia Tan | magic university | paranormal | review Hits: 130 | Read more... |

http://whippedcream2.blogspot.com/2009/06/mind-games-by-cecilia-tan.html?zx=61c55b3ed69fd3cf A few choice bits: “Mind Games is brisk, fast-paced, ironic and completely sexy. The writing is crisp and concise with characters any reader can easily identify with. The point of view never jumps, and the scenes are well described and packed with delicious adjectives. Writing premonitions, visions or even telepathy is a challenge for any author while maintaining the story flow and not confusing the reader. Mind Games pulls this off beautifully. There is never any uncertainty for the reader and I must award the author “TWO THUMBS” way up on a job well done!” and “Ms. Tan is a talented story-teller. This is my first story I have read by her, but I know it will not be my last. Wonderful job for a writer who is definitely a must keep in the business. Don’t miss out on this yummy, naughty novel.” Tags: reviews | rave reviews | Cecilia Tan | mind games

| MIND GAMES gets Five Stars from Manic Readers Review! |
| 2009.06.15 10:55:26 | |
 I'm pleased to say my paranormal erotic romance, MIND GAMES, has garnered another rave review. FIVE STARS! From Manic Readers Review, a romance review site.Excerpts: "Ms. Tan is going to blow readers away with Mind Games! Superb from beginning to end, I discovered new faith in the paranormal erotica genre." "Fans of Ms. Tan’s erotica will rejoice at her venture into the paranormal world. This was such a treat for me... I certainly hope this won’t be Ms. Tan’s only foray into the paranormal world because Mind Games is definitely an all out hit!"

| Another rave for THE HOT STREAK! |

Wow. Two things surprised me about the review that just came in for THE HOT STREAK A few choice snippets: “One of the great things about this book is Ms. Tan’s enthusiasm for baseball – it’s infectious. Knowing nothing about the game, you don’t have to be a fan to read this book, however by the end I found myself wanted to go out and learn more about baseball.” “Casey and Tyler’s relationship is enough to warm even the coldest of hearts. I constantly smiled throughout the novel at the development of their whirlwind romance and the joy they found in each other. By the end, I was rooting for their relationship with a sports fan’s gusto!” “The romantic elements were not corny, or contrived, something I found extremely refreshing.” Review: http://is.gd/MJOo Next week an interview with me will run on the Talk About My Favorite Authors blog, too. I’ll link when it comes up. Tags: The Hot Streak | Cecilia Tan | reviews Hits: 330 | Read more... |

| THE HOT STREAK now available! |

Today's the day! THE HOT STREAK is now live here at Ravenous Romance, just as baseball season is really starting to get going. It's a lovely sunny day here in the Northeast, so it's even starting to feel like baseball weather.
Time to think about warm summer nights with sensuous breezes and the slow build of excitement that comes through a baseball game. It's really no surprise that in American slang "first base" is kissing, etc... and making it to full on sex is "scoring" or "going all the way."
You don't have to know anything about baseball to enjoy the hot sex and romantic highs in THE HOT STREAK. Our heroine, Casey Branigan, is a middle-manager in a design firm in Boston and doesn't know anything about the sport beyond "three strikes, yer out." But she meets a baseball player, a pitcher named Tyler Hammond, at a photo shoot. He's funny and charming and nothing like the men she's been trying to date, who all seem to want to impress her with how grown up they are. (Not to mention Tyler is very HOT.)
Casey is quickly caught up in the major league lifestyle, traveling to all different cities to see Tyler pitch. She makes friends with a major league wife who looks perfect and prim on the outside, but inside she has as dirty a mouth as her catcher husband and a no-nonsense attitude that makes learning the ropes fun for Casey.
Of course, it isn't all fun and games... but I don't want to give away the plot! Ultimately Casey has to decide, is Tyler really the one? Is it love or just a fling? What happens when he brings up her name on national television? Read the book to find out! Tags: The Hot Streak | Cecilia Tan | just published | erotica | baseball season Hits: 294 | Read more... |
