Make an author's day - post a review!
I relish every review on Amazon, even the bad ones. No, really. It's not that I love a one star review, but they can be useful to readers when deciding whether to part with their hard-earned cash to buy your book. Take this one, for example:
Hmm, okay. Not great. Then again, perhaps 'literary' isn't really the right word to describe my historical romantic adventure. Wolf Hall it isn't! So fair enough, if that's what you're after then perhaps it's not for you.
On the other hand, a really good review - well written and from someone who clearly knows her stuff - can really make an author's day/week/month/year. Like this little gem I found yesterday. :)
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it.ByPSusanon January 13, 2016Format: Kindle EditionThe Legend of the Gypsy Hawk (Choc Lit) by Sally Malcolm is the kind of story that first caused me to fall in love with romance books many years ago. It has a Daphne Du Maurier feel to it. No, not Rebecca but more Frenchmen’s Creek or Jamaica Inn; a bit of dark with the sweet. So whileI do not read as much historical romance now this is one story I could totally get lost in.
There is a to-die-for swashbuckling hero, a spunky passionate heroine,attraction that builds slowly into love, betrayal, danger with thrills and spills adventure. The entire story is written in flowing graceful style providing insight and realism to the events and characters. I especially like the beginning starting with the chest, then going over a hundred years back in time to tell the story of what really happened before it became the legend.
The Legend of the Gypsy Hawk took me back to my roots with all the things I love about a wonderful romantic adventure. I loved it. It's not a novel to read about but one to steal away to read for yourself. I’m looking for more by Sally Malcolm.
The publisher through Net Galley provided a copy.
Hard to believe it's the same book! And each to his or her own, of course. The point is, we authors live for reviews - it's the only proof that anyone's reading our books! So if you've read a good one, or a bad one, take a couple of minutes to let us know what you think. And while everyone loves a cracking 5* review, those 1* howlers can be valuable too - just remember, if you can, that the author's probably reading it, so a little sugar-coating would be welcome! ;)
