Your book was great, I really enjoyed! Having read so many books from a female's POV, was it difficult writing in a man's point of view?

It wasn't difficult in the sense of accessing the character, since his voice was so clear in my mind. The real challenge was trying to make sure he wouldn't sound like a woman, especially because he does have a lot of qualities that are traditionally attributed to women. I hope I was successful in that feat. (less)

How come your book shook me to my very core?

There are a lot of alpha males and virginal females in the Romance/Erotica genre today, and my book is different than what you may usually read. Maybe you feel attracted to a man like Stephen, and identify with Julia. Is that answer enough? :) I'm very glad you enjoyed it so much! (less)

When I saw your Priest review, I just had to add you. That Nicolas Cage gif made me cry with laughter! Genius! :D
Someday, I hope you'll review one of my books in an equally funny way. :)
