First Review! And assorted odds and ends...

I was thrilled to get a link to my first review a few days ago, by Maldivian Book Reviewer. So happy she liked the book!

"All in all a very satisfying read which has definitely made me curious to seek out the books in her back list and give them a go. Recommended for those who love a good contemporary romance featuring a couple you would root for right from the very beginning." 4 out of 5 stars

Also, thanks to everyone who helped Take A Chance On Me hit the bestseller's lists at Samhain. It reached 1st on the Men In Uniform list, 2nd on the Contemporary list, and 3rd on the overall bestseller's list. :)

I've got TWO blog posts up elsewhere today, so I hope you can take a minute to stop by and say hello. On Kinsey Holley's blog, I'm outing myself as a klutz (and discussing how my newest heroine shares that trait), while on Nine Naughty Novelists I'm talking about food. Fun!



Speaking of the NNN, we'll be hanging out in the Samhain Cafe on the 9th, so you can find me there as well.



And since it's Friday, here's a little inspiration for you. Enjoy!

AAAAHHHH!!!

I'm so excited right now I can hardly stand it. I just checked Romantic Times online and found out that Lessons Learned is the RT Top Pick for Contemporary Romance this month!

Of course, since I don't have a subscription, I can't see the actual review until I find a copy in the store (April issue), but it's right at the top of their Top Picks page, which is so cool I can't stop grinning!

Here's to a fabulous weekend, all!

Character Chat, and A First Review!

Just a quick note to let you know that Cody is going to be hanging out on the Samhain Cafe at 1 pm Eastern today, ready to share some secrets about The Devil Inside. (Poor guy is getting bored with being on bedrest!) There'll be a contest, so be sure to head over if you've got the time.

And I just got my first review for The Devil Inside, from Ciar Cullen. I'm absolutely thrilled -- it's a great review, and I'm so glad she liked the book. Here's a peek:

"This is the comfort food of romance–and it hit me at just the right moment. The news on the economy is awful, work is stressful, writing is giving me hives, yada yada. The cure? For two nights, Kate Davies. Escapism, for sure, but not brain-dead escapism. Not American Idol escapism. I bought this story and the characters. "

Read more here. She's also giving away a copy of one of my backlist e-books, so be sure to comment!

Hope to see you on the cafe,
Kate

My First Five-Ribbon Review!

I got an e-mail today that totally made my day. Challenging Carter, which comes out Tuesday, has received a five-blue-ribbon review from Romance Junkies!

Here's a quote from the review: "Ms. Davies brings these characters to life in a brilliant realistic setting that will have readers falling in love with Dani and Carter and anticipating each heated scene between them." Pretty cool, huh? Big thanks to Chrissy for the great review. You can read the whole review at Romance Junkies.

Now, I'm off to finish some paper edits. Have a great week!
