RT Book Reviews – the BIG TIMES!!

So I was eating my chicken a couple of nights ago, leafing through RT Book Reviews, the magazine for readers of commercial genre fiction. I’d gotten behind on industry reading because, well, I’ve got a book deadline, but I always get to RT eventually. I love to find out about new authors, new series, behind-the-scenes stuff and, of course, the reviews.

RT Book Reviews – formerly called Romantic Times, because it was the premier go-to place for romance reviews – now covers the gamut of commercial genre fiction: mystery, suspense, thrillers, mainstream fiction, paranormal, urban fantasy, erotica, young adult, inspirational, contemporary romance, historical romance and, of course, category romance – you know, those small series books by Harlequin.

There haven’t been a lot of Entangled books reviewed in RT Book Reviews yet – after all, Entangled is only about three years old now. A baby. A fetus, in publishing years. But they’ve begun popping up, particularly in Urban Fantasy and Paranormal, and I like to keep track of what my “sister” authors are doing.

Anyway.

I glance through the sections where I’ve seen Entangled authors reviewed. Mainsteam, nothing. Romantic Suspense, nope. Oh, here’s one! RT’s young adult section, TeenScene gave Cecily White’s PROPHECY GIRL four stars! I’ve heard great things about this Entangled Teen book. (And the editor, too!)

Moving on.

Nothing in Paranormal or Urban Fantasy.

I run my finger down the list in Contemporary Romance.  Oh, two Entangled authors this this month, that’s good! Let’s see… Gina Gordon’s A TASTE OF TROUBLE, from the Entangled Edge imprint. Four stars again! Wow, it sounds like a great book. I’d really like to write for that imprint, too. (Mental note: download Gina’s book asap.)

Now… who’s the other Entangled author reviewed in RT this month… I run my finger further down the list… 

wait…a…minute…

HOLD ON. THAT’S ME!!! That’s MY name! The reviewer calls His Reluctant Rancher an

“…emotional story…” and “… pure fun.”

I almost choked on my chicken. But let me assure you, I’d have died happy.
