Fabulous Reviews, Interviews, Great News and More


There have been a couple reviews posted for Eternal Desire.

The best is this amazing review by Kiki Howell.

Here's a snippet of the review by Kiki:

After reading Eternal Desire, I would have to call Roxanne Rhoads a master of words. Each sentence flowed into another with a nice blend of old elegance and contemporary style which I think is important in this type of paranormal writing to best blend the modern day setting with the ghosts and vampires of another time. I have to give you an example from the beginning of the story, “a shadowy figure in my dreams, whispering of longings and ancient secrets. I never saw his face, but his voice lingered in my soul. He was an invisible guardian, calling to me…”

(BTW, Kiki you are an amazing reviewer- want to review books at Fang-tastic?)

Another review came in from Coffee Time Romance:

Eternal Desires is a very sexy short story set in one of the world’s most interesting cities. Quillon is a powerful character who commands Liz to follow where he leads but his need for her to know the real man shows there is a heart behind the steel. ...Ms Rhoads gives an amazing description of the Halloween parties and balls in New Orleans.

Onto Other News:
