Five Star Review received 5 stars in French…

I received an e-mail today from Ariel Tachna I like to share, brag, jump for joy, all the above.

Five Star Review got 5 stars today from a reviewer on a French web site. It’s a site you have to join as a member, so I can’t just send you the link, but I’ve copied the text for you. Her only complaint was that it was too short, and she said she’d definitely be keeping an eye out for future books from you.
Ce que j’en pense :

Bon, je sais je n’aime pas les histoires courtes. Donc forcément j’avais un gros à priori. Mais… J’ai lu cette histoire, parce que justement j’en avais lu des critiques qui étaient positives sur différents sites. Comme quoi… Parfois, on fait bien de suivre les avis des autres lecteurs.

Dès les premières lignes, l’auteur réussit le tour de force, non seulement que l’on s’identifie à ses personnages, mais je me suis sentie glisser dans la peau de l’un d’eux – littéralement. C’est comme si les échanges de mails d’Eric arrivaient directement sur mon ordinateur et que je les lisais à travers ses yeux, que je vivais son attente des réponses de Cade. C’est magique !

Donc, de la critique initiale et du remerciement de l’auteur qui en suit, les mails deviennent des questions, puis des suggestions, des sous-entendus puis des invitations. Si bien que lorsque Cade (l’auteur) doit se rendre à une convention à Seattle où réside Eric, ils n’hésitent pas et prennent rendez-vous pour se rencontrer. Eric cependant a un gros avantage sur Cade : il sait à quoi il ressemble, ayant vu sa photo sur son site internet. Pourtant, malgré leurs échanges, il a toujours refusé d’en envoyer une de lui à Cade. Et pour cause…

Ce que j’ai aimé :

J’irai plus vite en disant ce que je n’ai pas aimé : le trop petit nombre de pages. Cette nouvelle se lit trop vite et on a tout juste le temps d’en profiter. Quant à l’histoire et les personnages, tout est si bien ficelé, si bien écrit – même pour des nuls en anglais – qu’on est plongé dans leur histoire de la première à la dernière ligne.

En conclusion :

Je crois avoir lu quelque part que c’était le premier ouvrage de l’auteur. Alors, je lui souhaite bon vent et attend avec impatience son prochain livre.

Excellent. A lire absolument. Moi je lui donne ses cinq étoiles sans problème.

So of course I don’t speak French so I did a Google translate:
What I Think

Well, I know I do not like short stories. So I had a big necessarily a priori. But … I read this story, precisely because I had read reviews that were positive at different sites. Like what … Sometimes we do well to follow the advice of other readers.

From the first lines, the author manages the feat, not only that one identifies with his characters, but I felt in the shoes of one of them – literally. It is as if the e-mail exchanges with Eric came directly to my computer and I read through his eyes, his expectation that I lived responses Cade. It’s magic!

Thus, initial criticism and appreciation of the author that follows, the mails are issues and suggestions, innuendo and invitations. So when Cade (the author) has to go to a convention in Seattle where Eric lives, they do not hesitate and make appointments to meet. However, Eric has a big advantage over Cade: he knows what he looks like, having seen his picture on its website. Yet despite their exchanges, it has always refused to send him to Cade. And for good reason …

What I liked:

I will go faster by saying that I did not like: the small number of pages. This new reads too fast and it was just time to enjoy it. As for the story and characters, everything is so well crafted, so well written – even for null in English – that one is in their history from the first to the last line.

In conclusion:

I think I read somewhere that it was the first book of the author. So I wish her good luck and looking forward to her next book.

Excellent. A must read. I give her five stars without its problems.

Five Star Review now available

Hey Five Star Review is now available . I really hope you enjoy the guys as much as I have.

Works in progress includes co-writing with Ethan Stone our next book Reviewing Life. A secondary character from Five Star Review that you will love to hate-may just find love in a place he never thought to look.

Five Star Review Blurb: Gay romance author Cade Montgomery is so thrilled when his latest book is given an excellent review by Eric Carillo that he sends Eric a personal e-mail thanking him for the rating. Occasional e-mails become frequent, and soon Cade and Eric are talking online almost every day. Their online relationship spans a thousand miles, but that doesn’t mean it’s not real. Can their virtual romance survive in the real world? Because both men want to give their own romance a five star review.

Now let’s do a freebie!!
In honor of my release I will giveaway a copy of Five Star Review. Just leave a comment, hell just talk about anything. Sex, food, Men, Sex…yeah I’m just about good to talk on anything. I will put everyone in the randomizer (hope you don’t get to dizzy, the randomizer can really shake) and draw for a winner. Good Luck!!
