Get my Christmas novella free!
Now that I’ve typed “The End” on Gavin’s book, I’m hard at work on the Christmas novella I promised my wonderful readers. Set in the Wager of Hearts world, this is Frankie Hogan’s story. She’s the founder of the the ultra-exclusive Bellwether Club, and a tough, no-nonsense Irishwoman who made her billion-dollar fortune the old-fashioned way: she earned it.
Frankie has closed her heart to love until the man she left in her past appears in her office. Now she has to decide if she wants to take the biggest risk of her life.
If you sign up for my New Book Alert, you will get a digital copy of the novella FREE!
We’re still debating the best model for Frankie’s hero, international soccer star Liam Keller. It’s Team Ryan Reynolds vs. Team Eion Macken. Either one works for me. 🙂

I loved the book, but how do I write a review?
Reviews on Amazon and other websites are so important to an author. They help other readers find books that you enjoyed. If you loved the book, please consider writing a review!
“But I’m not a writer,” you say. “I’m nervous about writing a review.”
Here’s how to do it in a few very easy steps:
The Headline
Just a few words to kick off your review. You might use any of these categories to create your headline:
- Emotional response: “Loved this book!”
- Specific type of book: “Great small town romance!”
- Kind of character(s): “Hot billionaire.” or “Sassy heroine.”
- Endorsement:“Put this on your TBR list now!”
The Body.
Amazon recommends that you write between 75 and 500 words for a review. Their preferred minimum is 20, but if you give a book 5 stars and say, “This was one terrific read. I couldn’t put it down,” that is wonderful for the author.
Think about what you most liked about the book in one or more of these categories.
- Characters: Their job (veterinarian, chef, billionaire, office temp) and/or their qualities (cute, compassionate, sassy, angsty, tough).
- Setting: Small town, New York City, Mars, the mountains, the beach.
- Atmosphere: Light-hearted, dark and dangerous, sweet.
- Plot: Twisty, emotional, happy ending, straightforward.
- Writing: Vivid, poetic, spare, fast-paced, snappy dialogue.
- Premise: Small town girl meets high-powered businessman; marriage of convenience; Cinderella story; beauty and the beast.
You don’t have to answer all of these; just the one or two that really grabbed you.
Write the review. Fill in these blanks with the things you’ve thought about above.
I loved the (sassy heroine’s snarky dialogue) and the (exotic setting in Bali).
OR
(The hot billionaire) and (the sweet country girl) made a great couple in this (emotional romance with a wonderful happy ending).
OR
If you like (small town romance) you’ll love this story (set in the mountains of West Virginia) with a (sexy veterinarian) and an (ambitious lawyer.)
OR
Love (beauty and the beast stories)? Try this (futuristic fantasy romance) set on (Mars) with a (dark, twisty plot).
See how easy it is? Just fill in the blanks!
The Summary line.
To round off your review, show your enthusiasm for the book with one of these kinds of comments.
- I read it in one sitting!
- I read it twice!
- I told all my friends to read this book!
- I can’t wait for the next book from this author!
- I highly recommend this book!
Just follow these easy guidelines and you’ll have a super review. Your favorite author will be so grateful to you for your support!
How to post a book review on Amazon
Many of my readers want to write reviews for books they’ve read and enjoyed, but they feel intimidated by the process. So I’m going to walk you through the mechanics of how to put a review up on the Amazon website. (See my next blog post on how to decide what to say in the review.) It’s very easy, trust me!
To write a review on Amazon, go to the page of the book you finished reading, then scroll down to where the reviews start. You’ll see a rectangular button that says: “Write a customer review.” That’s how you begin!
Amazon then asks you to choose among ratings for: the author’s writing, the level of violence and sexual content, and who the narrator is (first person, etc.) The answers are multiple choice so it’s easy to answer those.
Next are the stars, from 1 to 5. Five stars is the best rating, of course, and every author wants that. However, don’t hesitate to be honest in your evaluation.
Finally, type in the body of the review explaining what you liked and/or didn’t like about the book. If you liked it, enthusiasm is always appreciated by its author. (If you aren’t sure what to say in your review, read my blog post here.)
You can preview your review before you submit it and make corrections.
Hit “Submit” and you’re done. It may take several hours or even a day before it shows up on the book page. Amazon likes to check out reviews to make sure they don’t contain anything inappropriate.
Every time you leave a review, I guarantee you the author is sending grateful thoughts your way.
