Nicole Austin - Romance Author











{June 12, 2008}   Trip My Switch Gets 4 Hearts

Yay! Just got an awesome review from Samantha Ann of Night Owl Romance for Trip My Switch and its looking more and more like my daring risk is paying off. Thanks Samantha!

“I was pleasantly surprised to find this tale was as much about a person figuring out who they were and where they fit in an uncertain world.

“The read was fascinating, following the lead character in learning what does and does not “trip the trigger” so to speak. When the former lover comes back and makes an offer, the excitement and anguish is felt by the reader as well. And my, my, what an arsenal that former lover does have!

“Well worth picking up and while it may not be my lifestyle choice, the chance to play voyeur was amazing (and educational).”

On the Night Owl Romance rating scale 4 hearts = A page turner.



{May 28, 2008}   4 Pixie Reivew for Trip My Switch

Woohoo! Willow Rayne from Dark Angel Reviews gave Trip My Switch a 4 pixie review. Thanks, Willow! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the book!

“TRIP MY SWITCH was a very fun and engaging ride of sexual discovery. I really related to Bash as he was trying to figure out where he fit into the D/s world. I felt him being pulled in both directions and I really wanted him to be happy. There is a relationship between Bash and a few characters that really took me by surprise. I knew that he had an ex, but when I discovered all the rest of the story, I was in Heaven! The air of mystery behind the men and women taking charge of Bash’s life really added some drama to this story that kept me on the edge of my seat. The sex scenes throughout this wonderful tale are enough to require a cold shower afterward. Filled with drama, angst and a really great romance, TRIP MY SWITCH is a hit, in my opinion, for Nicole Austin.”

 

 



{May 12, 2008}   Restless Joyfully Reviewed

Woot! Ley from Joyfully Reviewed has given Restless a fabulous review. Thanks so much, Ley! I’m thrilled you enjoyed Jamie and Rachel’s story so much!

Here’s a snipet:

“From the start reading Restless definitely made me anxious to see how things were going to unfold between Rachel and Jamie. Nicole Austin’s sequel to Enough, where we first met Jamie along with Carolyn and Gray, was definitely one steamy, sexy story. At first I thought Rachel’s attitude toward Jamie was too hostile but then Ms. Austin gave us a peek into Rachel’s true feelings and they were far from hostile. It‘s a toss up on what was hotter, Rachel’s imagination of what she would like to do with Jaime, or the act itself. These two are great together and their story was a fun one to read about. As I mentioned this is a sequel and I do suggest reading Enough before reading Restless, incidents in the first book are referred to in Restless.”



{May 5, 2008}   5 Blue Ribbons for Trip My Switch

WOOHOO! Crissy from Romance Junkies loved Trip My Switch! I’ve been very worried about this book since I took such a big risk writing a male first person POV exotica for a primarily female audience. Thanks, Crissy! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed Bash’s story!

Here’s a little of what Crissy said about Trip My Switch. To read the entire review, click here.

“Told entirely in first person, TRIP MY SWITCH takes readers into the mindset of a man struggling to understand his own sexual desires. Nicole Austin bravely ventures deep into the shocking world of BDSM and does it with style. I was pleasantly surprised by how ‘into’ this story I became. There’s no shortage of intense sexual experiences or interesting uses of a wide variety of toys that had me eagerly reading to find out what would happen next. This book is part of Ellora’s Cave’s Exotika collection so be prepared for plenty of toe tingling scenes along with enough emotional context to earn Ms. Austin plenty of new readers.”



{March 5, 2008}   Enough & Restless Get 5 Angels

Rachel C. from Fallen Angel Reviews had given both Enough and Restless 5 Angel reviews. WOOT! Thanks, Rachel! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the stories so much. I am totally feeling the love! :D

Enough 

“One thing about Nicole Austin is you can always rely on scorching hot sex, every time. The woman knows how to bring out the goose bumps and sweat with ease. Christine and Gray’s story isn’t just the sex though, and Ms. Austin has no trouble bringing their emotions to the surface. With skill and style, Ms. Austin’s tale of love and lust keeps you turning pages and wishing for a happily ever after, not to mention some hot sex of your own. The emotional heart break Christine is suffering is gripping and real. Her addition of Gray’s best friend brings lots of interesting possibilities, and Ms. Austin never makes it feel awkward or uncomfortable. Jamie’s character is crafted in perfect form, sliding effortlessly into the love Gray and Christine share. The vulnerability in Gray is well written, and the fact that Ms. Austin doesn’t ignore the jealous emotions is a tribute to her skill as a story teller.  

“Enough is a story full with swirling emotions from all involved. Ms. Austin does not leave any doubt as to how each person is feeling and what the night means to each of them. Even though this is one of Ellora’s Cave’s Quickies, it’s more than enough to give you satisfaction at the end of the book. Enough is one hot, quick read that would compliment any book collection, and I can’t resist saying, Enough is more than enough!”

Restless 

“We met Jamie and Rachel in Ms. Austin’s novel Enough. Even then they were sparking off each other, and in Restless Ms. Austin turns those sparks into fire and setting the book in Vegas, the city of sin, only adds to its appeal. This pair is so hot I was sure my hard drive would have a melt down. Lucky for me it didn’t, and I got to watch this pair go from wanting hot sex with no strings to wanting strings just as much as the sex. I don’t normally read a story where the heroine shares my name, not sure why but it always seems to creep me out, but there were no worries with this book. Yet again Ms. Austin’s skill and talent drive the story with ease, and I’ve yet to hit a sex scene that feels awkward.  

Restless is well written and thoroughly engaging, from the initial sparring matches Jamie and Rachel have, to the very end Ms. Austin’s obvious love of story telling shines through. You can feel the excitement with every word, and if the naked butt on the front’s not enough to get you inside then I’ll add to the appeal. This book is a hot quick read, perfect for a little bedtime reading. Once more, Ms. Austin delivers, and if she’s not on your favorite author list, she should be.”

RRTE Rating: Multiple O’s

“Not to be missed, RESTLESS burns with the intense feelings Jamie and Rachel have for each other. Jamie’s feeling restless and Rachel is the one to bring the sizzle back into his life. Can they make a go of it, or will what happens in Vegas stay there? Read RESTLESS to find out the answer.”



{February 23, 2008}   Feeling The Love - Rakahnja’s Haven

Nicole Harvey from Paranormal Romance gave Rakahnja’s Haven a fabulous review. WOOHOO! Thanks, Nicole!

Here’s some of what she said below. To read the whole review, click here.

“Wow, Nicole Austin did it again, she knows how to fill you with descriptions of the characters and the places they live that can blow you away. She builds the story and shows you the love that these two share for each other that just pulled at my heart, and made me wish that they would get what they deserved, each other. This world she built was full of fantasy that came to full life and vivid detail and made me feel I was right there with them. That shows a gift of words that brings the story to life. I can’t wait to read more by Ms. Austin in the future.”



{February 11, 2008}   Spontaneous Combustion Joyfully Reviewed

Spontaneous Combustion, part of the Dreams of the Oasis, Volume I, anthology, has been Joyfully Reviewed by Nikita Steele. Thanks, Nikita! I’m so glad you enjoyed Jake & Maddy’s story.

Here’s part of the review. You can read all the reviews for the anthology by clicking here.

“Whew!  Now I know what reading a wicked, naughty sexual Spontaneous Combustion story feels like.  This scrumptious tale is about two people who decide to take their friendship to a deeper, more meaningful level.  From start to finish, the plot is filled with luscious, steamy, sinful sexual images – whether as a fantasy or a real act.  Throughout this read, I was in a constant state of arousal.  Nicole Austin did a superb job of making me squirm around in my seat with heated desire and had me wishing for my own firefighter to put out my internal flame.”

{January 22, 2008}   Enough Gets 4 Kisses

Woot! Laura from Two Lips Reviews showed some love for Enough. Thanks, Laura! A bit of what Laura said is below. To read the whole review click here.

“What woman wouldn’t want one man fulfilling her every desire, much less two? Enough is a captivating story by Nicole Austin with a sexy threesome that will leave you wanting more! Gray uses this special night to show how much he loves Christine. This book is an erotic indulgence that will heat you up and satisfy your every sexual whim.”



{January 13, 2008}   Restless - Feeling the love from Romance Junkies

Yay! Chrissy from Romance Junkies gave Restless a 5 Blue Ribbon rating. Here’s what she said in her review:

“Oh my!  Nicole Austin certainly fulfilled every one of my expectations and then some with RESTLESS.  After reading the ending to ENOUGH I knew that Jamie and Rachel’s story would be full of fireworks but hadn’t anticipated the thrill I’d get reading about Rachel’s biting comments or the heated flush I’d feel as the sexual tension builds between the characters.  I especially love the roles Christine and Gray play as matchmakers and their protectiveness of Rachel is endearing.  RESTLESS may be a quickie but Ms. Austin certainly didn’t skimp on the emotional impact this story has on its readers.  You’ll laugh, cry, and even sweat but this is one story sure to satisfy. 

“By the way, while checking out Ms. Austin’s website, I snuck a peek at her upcoming title - TRIP MY SWITCH.  After reading the blurb I do believe it’s going to be a ‘must read’ for BDSM fans.  I’m already looking forward to its release.”

Thanks so much, Chrissy! I’m so glad you enjoyed Jamie’s story. :D
