Schooling review...

from the lovely Lucy Felthouse. The full review is here. But here's my favorite snippet. Oh, you knew there'd be one! :P

Schooling is a brilliant read from Ms. Marsden. It’s a beautiful blend of love, life and sex and shows that erotica doesn’t have to be just about people in the first flushes of a relationship to be hot. A heart (and other places) warming tale.

Grazie to Lucy for reading me. Heh. Did you see me slip that foreign language in there? Smooooooth.

XOXO
Sommer

Also, my verification word from Blogger is 'flail', which made me laugh.

Praise for LEARNING TO DROWN

"Learning to Drown was a wonderful story that kept me hooked from the very first pages... I love Miss Marsden's stories and eagerly look forward to the next one that will take me to a whole new world where nothing is off limits." -Claudia R., Manic Readers Reviews, 4.5/5 Stars!

"Sommer is one of those writers that can create a symphony on the pages and even if you aren't a lover of classical music you may still find yourself closing your eyes and letting the beauty of the melody wash over you. This story, along with all her others, has definitely sealed the deal. I will read ANYTHING that Sommer Marsden EVER writes!!!! She is just that damn good." -Seriously Reviewed, 16.5/20 Score!

"?[A] great read. Sommer Marsden created unique characters and situations that were so interesting it was hard for me to stop reading until I was finished" -Karyl, Dark Diva Reviews, 5/5 Divas!

"...[A] strong and stirring book that will grab you and not let you go... The dance of the story is two steps forward and one step back and in Learning to Drown it works beautifully... For those who are comfortable with the less sanitized version of BDSM than is often found in the BDSM romance, Learning to Drown will be a memorable read." -Lea, BlackRaven's Reviews, 5/5 Ravens and a Recommended Read!

"…if you like to stretch your boundaries and see things from another perspective, Learning to Drown may well be the best book you’ll buy in quite a while." ~ Zoe, The Readers Round Table 4.5 out of 5 crowns

"This was a quick, hot, funny read. Not something you find everyday, that’s to be sure." Chris at NOR/4 stars

"The wild passion between these two tickles you like wildfire. The rich characters share a delicious rapport. I highly recommend this quickie for anyone who wants more than just a few moments of bliss." Fanny at RomFan Reviews/5 buff men

"Ms. Marsden has written a humorous take on the mating heat of shifters and despite Allure being a short story, the reader does get to know the characters...keep writing Ms. Marsden!" Sabine at Manic Readers/4 stars

Ashira Datya, HEA Reviews

"I really enjoyed Man in the Middle, both of the stories were sizzling hot. The author did an amazing job of writing the story so that the reader feels like he or she is a part of the story and physically in each scene. I would read more by this author again, no doubt about it."

Claudia R., Manic Readers Reviews, 4.5/5 STARS

"I loved Ms. Marsden’s writing style… You can never be too graphic in an erotic tale, and Ms. Marsden does a splendid job in depicting the confusion, struggle, love, and finally acceptance… The eroticism was fantastic… you get two great stories in one book!"

Delane at Coffee Time Romance and More (5 cups!)

From the very first meeting in the chocolate shop the flames of lust are fanned higher and higher. When at last these two come together it is a battle to determine who is really in control; the master or the submissive. Bittersweet has joined my TBR over and over list. I found the characters fascinating and beautiful. I strongly recommend the story of Rayka and Deacon; to miss Bittersweet is to miss out on a love story with a most tasteful bite.

Seriously Reviewed, SCORE: 19/20!

Sommer Masden has really out done herself with this tasty, titillating tease. With out a doubt, I would read everything this author puts out from now on and will be seeking out everything on her back list!! Any one with the ability to bring emotion to life like this talented lady has my vote all the way!! *SNAPS* Ms Marsden, I am in awe!

Cheryl, Manic Readers Reviews, 4/5 STARS

There is nothing bitter about this book, Bittersweet. In fact this book is so yummy and such a temptation that I devoured it. Rayka and Deacon were perfect for each other. What could be better than chocolate, a hot guy and reading a good book…nothing is better! Deacon was not only sexy but he could cook. I wish he was real, so I could steal him for myself. I think I have just found my new favorite erotic author in Sommer Marsden. Bittersweet left me wanting more.

Praise for Lucky 13...

Mrs. Giggles 90/100
"Baby, this one is hot, hot, hot…(a) sizzling collection of stories…filled with all the wholesome goodness that erotica has to offer. There are ample descriptions of emotions and sensations that make the graphic sex scenes more vivid for the best vicarious joyride. There are also some unexpectedly tender and even heartwarming moments in the more romantic stories. All in all, this one is too much of a good thing and I’m giving this one two thumbs up."

Amanda, Manic Readers Reviews 4/5 Stars
"Ms. Marsden truly brings an exquisite collection of erotica to the table with Lucky 13 . All thirteen stories left this reader breathless and wanting more…"

Ashley Lister, Erotica Revealed
Sommer Marsden’s skill as an author is in her ability to depict living breathing human beings and make them interesting, exciting and entertaining. The fact that she chooses to write in the erotic genre means that we lucky readers get to see these vibrant individuals enjoying the complexities of a passionate and carnal existence. If you enjoy well written erotica, and you want to get lucky with your choice of reading material, it’s a safe bet to pick Lucky 13.

Violet Blue, author
Lucky 13: Thirteen Tales of Getting Lucky Author Sommer Marsden is a writer I consider to be one of the top storytellers in the erotica genre, and she’s just getting started. She is one I’m watching closely. This collection is 13 of her hits, and highly recommended
