A Review from Katiebabs for Beth's Acceptance

I stumbled over the review quite by accident, and it was a bit of a shock.  So was the rating.  Yeah, I admit it.  After all the five-star ratings on the Ellora’s Cave site, and the “can’t wait to read the next installment!” comments (see for yourself), I’d got a bit complacent, I think.  Also, the one official review I’ve had so far was a thundering great endorsement:  “There are no words for the talent of Teal Ceagh.” – from Coffeetime Romance.

So 1) tripping over the review by accident and 2) finding I’d only got a B-grade rating made my day feel a little flat.  The review itself tends to focus on one sex scene in particular, which Katiebabs obsessed about.  But readers always get something different out of the book than what you think you’re putting into it.

So I’m posting it here, just to show I’m not a princess and can take one on the jaw.  But hey…considering how Smart Bitches hands them out, this is a love tap. :)
