Review: Yours to Take

A wonderful 5-star rating from Slick at Guilty Pleasures!

I have read hundreds of erotic romance books, of those a lot have been ménage stories, many more have had some elements of BDSM, but I have never read a book quite like this one. … Joely’s character development made these characters seem so real. The unusual nature of their relationship, the outside forces, the interesting supporting cast, and a truly unique storyline makes this a truly exceptional ménage story. I simply can’t recommend this book highly enough, it’s that good. In fact, I read it then I went and re-read the two previous books, and read this one again before I wrote the review. It was even better the second time around and I’ve very pleased to give Yours to Take a 5 star rating.

Thank you so much, Slick! Yours to Take can be preordered at Samhain, Amazon, or B&N.

Yours to Take Giveaway, Review

For a fun interview and a chance to win an early copy of Vicki’s Yours to Take, head over to Simply Ali’s blog.

Also the first review is up!  Miranda at Joyfully Reviewed says,

I found Vicki’s journey in Yours to Take to be intense and compelling.  She is really discovering a side of herself she didn’t think existed or wasn’t willing to recognize.  There is something powerful about discovering yourself as a sexual being and finding what you need in bed makes the act more satisfying.  …  Yours to Take is a scintillating tale about pushing boundaries and finding love.

I’ve got lots of blog spots lined up for next month (thank you so much Novel Sidekick!).  It’s important to me that each post be as interesting and unique as possible, not just blah blah buy my book.  I’ve already got a post about writing BDSM, Need You Now, and how important color is to the story.

What else would you like to know about Vicki?  Any cool or unusual questions that might inspire me?

Thank you!

Dear Sir I’m Yours 10,000 Milestone

I got my Samhain royalty statement this weekend and I’ve been happy-teary ever since because Conn hit a significant milestone.  After its release in June 2009, Dear Sir, I’m Yours has sold 10,000 electronic copies!  I’m just stunned, honestly.  It’s absolutely amazing to think that more than 10,000 people have read a story I wrote.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to each and every one of you who’ve read about the sexiest English teacher alive and went on to read about his wicked brother Victor…and hopefully their incredibly complicated sister, Vicki.

Review: Hurt Me So Good

Armenia at Naughty in the Backseat gives HMSG 4.5 Whips (haha, perfect!):

I admit I don’t watch much reality television but with the first paragraph of Hurt Me So Good I was hooked. Joely Sue Burkhart grabbed me by the collar and lead me down a path I could not stray, and I gladly followed. To my fascination this super-length novella overflowed with sexual tension that seem to increase with each page. I found myself at the edge of my seat as I “watched” Victor and Shiloh’s story unfold before my eyes.  As contestants on a television show called America’s Next Top Subthe chemistry between them sizzled “on” and “off” the stage. The sex is hot, the foreplay edgy, and lots of dominant/submissive action got my total attention.

Thank you so much, Armenia!

Review: Hurt Me So Good

MacKenzie of Blackraven Reviews has named HMSG a Recommended Read (review)!

Ms. Burkhart has certainly put herself in a class above the rest with this story. To be able to write such intensity, emotion and drama, and to have the characters remain loving and devoted, was amazing to see. It’s so rare in these types of storylines and that’s a sad thing. I wish more authors were willing to put their skills to the test this way, but I have a feeling the results would be nowhere close to the same.

If you can, stop by Blackraven Reviews and vote for HMSG for top book of the week.  Voting is open until midnight EST Sunday, December 19th.

Thank you so much, MacKenzie!

Review: Hurt Me So Good

Kelly of I Work for Books says

Hurt me so Good is a novel which was written beautifully and evocatively with powerful imagery and insightful emotion and thoughts description and even if you are not into reading this genre, is still a good book for the romance it entails and you know what? I think I’d read a sequel! 🙂

Read her whole review here.  Thank you so much, Kelly!
