My first ebook review!

[agt_spooky]

Wow, guys, I am SO thrilled - I've just received my first review on my ebook, Burnin' for You (written by my professional writing alter ego jamie_lynn_m) from Simply Romance Reviews:

	Burnin' For You Jamie Lynn Miller Dark Roast Press April 2008 Contemporary Romance/GLBT Buy from Dark Roast Press
Synopsis: Lucas Taylor is a hard-working New York City fireman at Station 127, dedicated to his job, even though it has brought him heartrending tragedy - the loss of his lover, Ryan, in an explosion a year ago. Evan Singer is the new guy in town, a paramedic transferred into Station127 from San Antonio, and he sets his eyes on Lucas from the get-go. Neither knowing who the other is, their first meeting is explosive, a night of passion and desire that awakens something inside Lucas he never thought he’d feel again. But when Lucas discovers that Evan is a paramedic, it all comes crashing down. For despite the feelings he has for Evan, Lucas has vowed to never again get involved with someone on the job, after losing Ryan to it. Can Evan convince Lucas to open up his heart and take a chance on love again, despite who Evan is?
SRR GRADE:  A
Burnin’ for You is a short little flamer – hot and steamy in more ways than one! Jamie Lynn Miller introduces us to Lucas Taylor, a firefighter who two years ago lost his true love and since then has pulled back into himself – afraid to let anyone in again. On the two year anniversary of his lover’s death Lucas looks across the room into a set of new eyes, eyes he can’t seem to resist. Not sure whether it’s the drink or just the intense need to feel someone’s arms around him he goes home with Evan, the stranger from across the room. Burnin’ For You is the story of how the love of one man can conquer the hurt and heal the deep wounds of another. The characters are charming, Lucus is definitely the gruff and tough firefighter, and Evan shows an amazing amount of compassion for a younger man. I really enjoyed this story which shows you that life and love are worth taking chances for.

Woot!

See? I told you not to stress. Given those two gorgeous men and their love that was absolutely meant to be, we all knew this could only be a pure, grade-A winner.

I'm so proud of you, dear!

I only just got around to buying your book. I'd read it of course, as you'd kindly shared it with me...

But Holy Jebus, you dedicated it to me!!!11! Wow! Thank you. I'm very honoured.

Seems Cat Grant did as well. I must be some annoying cheerleader. I may not have my own stuff published but at least I'm helping my friends go pro. 8-D

Thanks again. It was great partying with you @ Media.

I was beginning to wonder if you'd ever seen that! LOL! And you're more than welcome, my friend. If it wasn't for you planting the seed I never would've attempted this. :-)

Seems Cat Grant did as well. I must be some annoying cheerleader.

Ha! Not annoying - just persistant *g* and one filled with lots of great ideas and encouragement. :-)

I may not have my own stuff published but at least I'm helping my friends go pro. 8-D

Ah-ah, you can't say that since YOU'RE published now, too, with a second next week! You're about to pull ahead of all of us. :-)

It was great partying with you @ Media.

Oh man, absolutely! Though wow, that "caramel" sauce was pretty bloody awful, wasn't it? :-)
