OMG. Seriously. O.O

Thank you so much to Elisa for hosting the Rainbow Awards, and to all the judges!Is it okay if I come home after my rotation?
I closed my eyes and released a breath. I didn't want to find hope where there wasn't any. For all I knew, he just wanted to know it was okay to come back and pick up his things.
Finally, I sent back, Please do.
And I hoped to God he did.
Search Me will be available December 7th from Carnal Passions!

And today, Joyfully Jay Reviews gave 4.75 out of 5 stars to The Closer You Get:I thought this was a great story - hot, sweet, romantic, sexy. Loved the combination of the shy virgin with the good-hearted manwhore. Definitely a recommended read. (Review)The Closer You Get is now available for pre-order from Samhain Publishing, and will be released November 15th.
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."And Cassie at Joyfully Reviewed (different site from Joyfully Jay) reviewed Trust Me:
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."
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.

We’d had problems for a while now, but I’d been so sure we’d be all right. Even when we’d fought and couldn’t stand the sight of each other, when we went days on end without speaking, I knew we’d make it through. Somehow, we’d make it through.
I thought we would, anyway. There was never any doubt in my mind that what we had was solid enough to weather damn near anything.
Now all I knew was that Nick’s side of the bed was empty.

The club was swankier than most places in this area. It was a known hangout for dealers, pimps, and anyone else who could afford a velvet-rope night in this chain link and razor wire neighborhood. Above the tables, top shelf liquor flowed. Below it, stacks of bills and bags of white powder changed hands. With the right combination of cash and a wink, a waitress could be compelled to meet a customer in the restroom or the alley behind the club. The place was all dressed up and pretty, but that illusion was only skin deep.
On the scene of a multiple murder that’s grisly even for a veteran homicide detective, Brian Clifton is stunned when one of the victims bears an uncanny resemblance to his boyfriend, James. As the similarities keep piling up, so do the bodies…and the evidence pointing to James as the killer.
Since long before the shooting, James has been dishonest. He’s been evasive. Oh, and there’s that minor little detail he withheld from Brian about being a gambling-addicted drug dealer. He may not be the best boyfriend in the world, but he begs Brian to believe he’s no murderer. In fact, whoever did pull the trigger undoubtedly wants to finish what they started, and Brian is the only one James trusts to keep him safe.
But how much is Brian willing to risk to protect a man he may not even know?

Books can be selected from titles that are currently available as of March 31, 2011 from either L. A. Witt or Lauren Gallagher. (exception: Getting off the Ground)"Witt’s writing is tight, elegant, and pithy. She has a wonderful ear, the ability to describe concisely and clearly without dipping into floridness, and a way of making sex scenes meaningful, which is a rare gift she shares with the likes of K A Mitchell. I loved all the characters in this book, major and minor, and the plot unrolled in an organic way that made it feel much more realistic and believable than many stories of this type."The entire review is here.- 10 out of 10 stars
You know you want them.
