REVIEW: The Closer You Get

The Closer You Get, which will be out tomorrow (!!), received 5 Cherries from Coreopsis at Whipper Cream Erotic Romance Reviews:

A captivating read from beginning to end. I would completely recommend The Closer You Get to any readers who like their stories filled with doubt, hard-headed men, and the hope that love conquers all in the end. (Review)

It also received 4.5 out of 5 stars from Cameron at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews:

The slow tempo of the story is actually quite believable and the sex is both spicy and sweet all along the way. [...] This is the first book by L.A. Witt that I have had the privilege of reading but it certainly will not be the last. Ms. Witt is a masterful storyteller and her characters are well developed. (Review)

The Closer You Get will be available November 15th from Samhain Publishing, and can be pre-ordered now from Samhain, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

"This story earned its rating because of the author’s fluent writing style the fully rounded and likable characters, the conflicts and how the characters make logical assessments at critical stages in the tale and finally the ‘feel-good’ factor I came away with when I finished the book." (Review)

REVIEW: The Distance Between Us and some updates

The move from Japan is coming along swimmingly, if a bit chaotically. Expect updates to be a little sparse and probably not incredibly long, but I'm trying to keep up on both my blogs as much as I can.

Some quick updates...

Nine-tenths of the Law is still available FREE from Amazon until October 28, so hurry and pick up a copy!

A Chip In His Shoulder and The Closer You Get are both available for pre-order from their respective publishers, plus the latter is on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

I'm interviewed over on Leontine's Book Realm, and over at Tracy's Place, I interview Liam, the main character of A Chip In His Shoulder.

And finally, Joyfully Jay Reviews gave The Distance Between Us 4.75 stars:

I really enjoyed this book and found the way Kieran's presence affected the dynamic between them so interesting and deliciously complex. (Review)

More updates and such to come soon, plus a couple of reviews on the horizon!

REVIEWS: Ex Equals, Trust Me

Two new reviews from Jessewave:

Lasha gave Ex Equals 4.25 out of 5 stars:

"Excellent story that rings true as two former lovers try and make their way back to each other." (Review)

Feliz gave Trust Me 4.75 out of 5 stars:

"A solid murder mystery and a skillfully done deliberate confusion around honest criminals, dirty cops, undercovers, drug dealers and the question who rather to follow: your heart or your mind?" (Review)

REVIEWS: Ex Equals, With the Band, Damaged Goods

Some more lovely reviews today...

Joan/Sarah F at Dear Author reviewed Ex Equals and gave it a B+ Grade:

I totally closed this book (on my phone) with a Happy Book Sigh (TM SB Sarah). And really, what more can you want than that?

Kalyko at BlackRaven's Reviews reviewed With the Band and gave it 4.5 out of 5 Ravens:

With the Band by L.A. Witt held me spellbound for its 200 plus pages. It’s sexy—is it ever!—and fun and a wonderful story that goes well beyond a romance.

And finally, Stefani and Just Erotic Romance Reviews reviewed Damaged Goods and gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars:

Needless to say, this was a highly erotic story and these two don’t have any problem warming it up. I wouldn’t say it was orgasmic but it was certainly hot. I did enjoy Damaged Goods, and would recommend it.

REVIEW: Static

Kelley at Dark Divas Reviews has given Static 5 out of 5 Divas, plus a Recommended Read rating:

The emotional aspect of Static will have you reeling. It makes you think about how far you would go for the one you love.

Static is available from Amber Allure, Amazon, Mobipocket, and AllRomance.

REVIEWS: Cover Me and Trust Me

Some new reviews today, this time for Cover Me and Trust Me. And, coincidentally, I just finished the third book, Search Me, today, so keep an eye out for updates on that one. Fans of Nick and Andrew? The boys will be front and center again. Stay tuned!

Joyfully Jay reviewed both books together, giving them 4 out of 5 stars:

Cover Me: "Overall I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it. L.A. Witt has become one of my go to authors."

Trust Me: "I really enjoyed the suspense and investigation in this story. It was a really different set up than your typical investigative thriller and I was definitely caught up in following the trail as Brian tries to solve the case. Lots of good surprises and twist and turns."

And Cassie at Joyfully Reviewed (different site from Joyfully Jay) reviewed Trust Me:

I recommend Trust Me to anyone who likes dark, gritty stories. If you’re looking for a read that catches your attention, pulls no punches, and yet still manages to have a satisfying romance, Trust Me is just what you need.

Just a few quick updates and some reviews.

I've added excerpts to my website for three upcoming releases:

Disengaged
On the List
The Closer You Get

Stay tuned for an excerpt from Ex Equals.

Also, I'm pleased to announce that I have signed with the newest M/M publisher, Riptide Publishing. My first title with Riptide will be my vampire/cyberpunk novella, A Chip In His Shoulder, and is expected to be out in late October. Details to come as they're available.

Damaged Goods is now available on several third party sites: Sony, Fictionwise, AllRomance, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and ereader.com. And, of course, it's still available directly from Loose Id, LLC.

Finally, some reviews:

Michele at The Romance Studio has given Light Switch 5 out of 5 hearts, and I think this may be my favorite comment about this book ever lol:

"Light Switch is a great book about Kristen's exodus from plain dry toast sex to drippy, gooey syrup coated French toast sex."

Feliz at Jessewave Reviews has given Cover Me 4.5 out of 5 stars:

This is a strong story, with very real and believable conflicts. As far as I can judge, the medical details are absolutely correct, and the job – related background regarding paramedics felt well-researched and authentic. [...] this was a great, skillfully written read with a realistic, gripping plot and well – wrought, well-developed characters. Highly recommended.

And Stephantois at Whipped Cream Erotic Romance Reviews has given Damaged Goods 4.5 out of 5 cherries:

"If you’re looking for an erotic romance that’s a little different, I’d say check this title out."

That's all for now -- plenty more in the offing, so check back often!

REVIEW: Out of Focus

Sarah at Dear Author has given Out of Focus a "B" grade:

I devoured this book. I had issues with it, sure, but I couldn’t put it down. It’s BDSM, done right! It’s hot m/m/m action. It’s TWO Dominants. It’s people with real lives! Yay! \o/

REVIEW: Out of Focus

Out of Focus, which will be out on August 2 from Samhain Publishing, has been given 4.75 out of 5 stars by Jessewave Reviews:

L.A. Witt has fast become one of my favourite authors and I have reviewed most of her books. I like her writing style, the fact that she takes risks, and while some work better than others, her characters are always vibrant and three dimensional and her prose and dialogue are better than most.

The entire review is here.

REVIEW: Damaged Goods

Damaged Goods received 5 out of 5 hearts at The Romance Studio, and is now up for 5-heart Sweetheart of the Week! If you enjoyed Damaged Goods, please vote here!

From Clare's review:

"Once again, Gallagher has hit it out of the park. [...] [She] takes the reader on an emotional journey and also fills the pages with hot erotica that leaves you breathless and panting for more."

The entire review is here.

REVIEW: Reconstructing Meredith

Pomma J. at The Romance Studio gave Reconstructing Meredith 5 out of 5 hearts, and had this to say:

"I definitely encourage those that love the BDSM genre to read both books as they are unique in the imagery and characters journey through not only the good things in the BDSM world, but those that have seen dark side, and the authors ability to carry the reader to a satisfying ending."

The review is here.

REVIEW: Static, With the Band

Two great reviews from Jessewave!

Cole reviewed Static, and gave it 4.75 out of 5 stars:

"A fascinating story about what it feels like to live with a disconnect between mind and body in the study of transgendered people, all brought together with a paranormal twist. [...] I came away from the book still thinking about what she wrote days later."

The entire review is here.
And Wave reviewed With the Band, giving it 4.5 out of 5 stars:

"With music as a backdrop and protagonists as complicated and high maintenance as Aaron and Bastian, this made for a terrific story."

That review is here.
Thank you to the folks at Jessewave for the lovely reviews!

REVIEWS: Master of Mine, Infinity Pools, Nine-tenths of the Law

Some nice reviews have come to my attention recently!

First, for the Master of Mine BDSM Anthology, Whipped Cream Reviews gave the book 4 out of 5 cherries, and had this to say:

This anthology is full of stimulating and entertaining stories. It runs the gamut from a story about vampires to a man looking for the right Domme who can help him with the pain he longs for. With an abundance of stories and plots to choose from there is bound to be a story for just about everyone.

The entire review is here.

And Lasha, guest-reviewing at Jessewave, gave Infinity Pools 4 out of 5 stars, with this comment:

Overall, I really enjoyed Infinity Pools; it was a wonderful second installment in this series, giving more details and insight in Elliott and Derek. I would love to read about the next stage in their relationship in a third book. Recommended.

The entire review is here.
Finally, I'm not sure how I missed this one when it was posted months ago, but Happily Ever After Reviews gave Nine-tenths of the Law 5 out of 5 teacups:

"Witt's writing style is friendly and as captivating as the characters she creates. I highly recommend this novel, and l look forward to more from this amazing author."
