Review Time!

It's been a while since my contemporary romance, AFTER MIDNIGHT was released so imagine my surprise and excitement when I discovered JoAnne wrote a wonderful review of it. Go to Romancing the Book and check it out! Here's my favorite part:

This was a romance that had lots of darkness to it and then some light would shine through to ease some of the pain you could feel coming off the pages. It drew me in from start to finish and I didn’t want to put it down.

Review!

I just received a lovely review of AFTER MIDNIGHT from Harlie's Book Blog. Check it out:

I am so in love with Sarah Grimm and her writing. She paces the story extremely well not dwelling on the emotional thoughts of Isabeau and Noah for too long. She makes you feel the story, not just the emotions of her characters. I felt like I was watching their love story from a booth at the bar. I didn't want to ever interrupt and just let the characters do the showing and telling from their perspective. The secondary characters never intrude and are as endearing as Noah and Isabeau. In fact, I can't wait for Dom's story. *wink* While this story is listed as "hot" on the publisher website, I felt like their bedroom scenes were more sensual and more emotional than any other that I have read in awhile. Good job, Ms. Grimm...5 Harlie's and a highly recommended read

Thank you Marika!

Woke up this morning after way too few hours of sleep and discovered an alert in my mailbox for a review from Long and Short Reviews. I admit, I closed my eyes while I waited for the page to load. (yes, I'm a chicken) Then I had to hold back the squeal of joy for fear I'd wake the house. BEST BOOK! Long and Short Reviews rated After Midnight BEST BOOK!
What a way to start my Friday!


 
"After Midnight is one of those compelling stories that draws the reader in instantly. With plenty of conflict and tension, the pacing of this book keeps growing and growing. Ms. Grimm creates characters that grab hold of your heart and never let go. This is an emotional ride that you won't want to miss...If you love a contemporary romance that has the potential to tug on your heartstrings, then don't wait! Hurry over and get yourself a copy of this book!"

Review!

Book Lovers, Inc. posted a fabulous review for AFTER MIDNIGHT. Reading it gave me a perma-grin that has carried me through the last week. There is nothing more thrilling for a writer than when a read totally 'gets' the characters.

While Isabeau exhibits strength of character and resolve, scratching below the surface of her armor reveals a fragility, and a firm belief that she is not attractive to men. Noah intuitively knows he must move slowly if he is going to earn her trust. Their romance is a slow burn and the build up to the scene where they finally make love is intense, electric. These two have such explosive chemistry, but even after they become intimate, Isabeau cannot give herself completely to Noah. He wants all of her and feels she must play the piano again to be whole as music is part of her soul. Noah makes a huge mistake in an attempt to force her to play. I felt their suffering when things go very badly.
...
After Midnight was a compelling, sensual page-turner and I was sorry when it concluded. The dialogue is crisp and tense, IMHO extremely well orchestrated. A number of themes are addressed in this novel that form the tapestry of Isabeau's character. Isabeau and Noah's story stayed with me long after finishing and it is a novel I will read again. If you enjoy an unique love story with endearing characters you may like to give After Midnight a try. I’m looking forward to reading more of Sarah Grimm’s work.

Thank you, Lea and Book Lovers, Inc!

Review!

My romantic suspense, NOT WITHOUT RISK, just received another wonderful review. Check it out:

"Not Without Risk is a book you won’t want to miss. The plot is interesting and held my attention from the first to the last page. The interaction of the characters is fantastic. They all worked well together. Grimm is a master of characterization. As the plot moved along, the suspense built. I eagerly turned the pages to see what would happen next. The name of this book Not Without Risk is perfection. It fits in well with the plot. This was an easy and fast read, yet it was intriguing. The cover is simply done and fits well with the plot. If you want to know how this romance/suspense ends, pick up a copy of the book. This is a mystery you won’t want to miss." - Rita G.

Thank you Rita G. and Readers Favorite.

Hump Day Hottie & A Review

Check out the review for Not Without Risk TWRP author Amie Louellen posted on Amazon! Isn't it fantastic? I wonder if she likes chocolate?

"I LOVED this book!! First and foremost this is a romance novel. And it delivers! Paige and Justin are perfect for each other. A cop who doesn't believe in love and a woman who doesn't date cops. Add in a murder mystery and a killer on the loose, and you have a recipe for a great read. Grimm's characters are real, the novel gritty yet true to the genre. The book focuses on the characters and how the forces around them pull them together even as they fight against the attraction they have for one another. The love scenes are HOT. But it should come with a warning--Caution: contents of this book are hard to resist. May cause late nights and continual reading! You won't be able to put it down!"

Amie, I'm so glad you enjoyed my book. I can't thank you enough for taking the time to post a review for me.

And now, for your Wednesday viewing pleasure... This guy should come with a warning, too. Don't you think?

NOR Top Pick

I've been so busy lately that I'm still wading through all of my emails, trying to get caught up on good news and congrats to all of my friends and fellow authors.  So yesterday, when a little Google alert popped up in my inbox, I was thrilled to discover that Not Without Risk was given a 'Top Pick' review by Melinda at Night Owl Reviews.

Here's what she had to say:

"Sarah Grimm has done it again with a fabulous romantic suspense. Throughout each chapter the killer is one step ahead of Justin and this upsets him. He’s always worked hard and knowing someone is playing with him gets to him. I loved how determined he was and swore he would do anything to protect his woman. Right off the bat you can tell these two had chemistry yet Paige tried to deny it. The way the killer comes out in this story is one that will surprise you. The suspense and attraction was awesome and this is definitely an author that will blow your mind away."

Thank you, Melinda, you made my day!

Fantastic Review

I'm so excited I can barely string the words together as I type this post. It's true! I've just discovered that Not Without Risk has been given the rating BEST BOOK at Long and Short Reviews.

Here's a look at what the reviewer had to say:

"Get ready for the ride of your life as Sarah Grimm takes us on an adventure, an adventure of danger an adventure of suspense, but be prepared, this adventure isn't for the faint of heart. If you, like me, enjoy fast paced, nail biting, page turning, edge of your seat suspense, then by all means get on board and try Not Without Risk."

Wow! Thank you Larkspur and Long and Short Reviews. I'm so very thrilled that you enjoyed Justin and Paige's story.
