Good things come unexpectedly sometimes. Really good things almost never come, expected or unexpected. Except last week it did, though I wasn’t aware of it until yesterday.
Dawn Luedecke, a reviewer for the Atlantic City Examiner, an online newspaper, has given Heart of Deception its first review. And it’s five star.
That just takes some getting used to.
I am posting the review here, because first, I am so proud I could burst, and second, what the hell else is a blog supposed to do but help you blow your own horn?
Jenna Jaxon brings readers everywhere to the ‘Heart of Deception’
“Atlantic City readers love a good historical romance — especially those set in Great Britain. With Regency giants like Stephanie Laurens, Julia Quinn, and the ever so sweet Stefanie Sloan, it’s no wonder writers everywhere are putting down their books and picking up their pens for a chance at crafting the perfect historical romance. After all, there’s nothing more exciting than intrigue with a hint of English nobility.
Ms. Jenna Jaxon captured the perfect mixture of intrigue, romance, and love in her short story ‘Heart of Deception’. Celinda Graham falls in love with Andrew Finley, Viscount Hurston. Who just happens to be the newest edition to the balls and drawing rooms of 1890’s London. When her father protests the marriage, they must find another way to be together. Andrew proposes a ploy that will leave them in a sea of scandal, but what Celinda doesn’t know is Andrew holds a secret which may just ruin their chance for happiness.
To find out if they can overcome the deception and make love work, New Jersey readers can purchase the story at a variety of places, including: Amazon.com, barnsandnoble.com, bookstogonow.com, the Android Marketplace. For more information on this wonderful, up and coming author, you can visit her blog at https://jennajaxon.wordpress.com/. After all, she may just be the next Eloisa James.”
Ms. Luedecke is an up-and-coming author herself and you can read more about her and her works at Atlantic City Books Examiner. I can only say “Thank you very much, Ms. Luedecke. You’ve made me happier than you can know!”
I hope Ms. Luedecke piqued your interest enough that you decide to download. If so, I want to say a heartfelt “Thank you” and please enjoy!

Thank you, Sandy. I appreciate that. 🙂 It’s hard to know how to respond to such a good review. A bad one you have ammunition for, you know what to say and how to take sympathy from friends. We’ve had lots of rejection before. The opposite, the glowing revew, is actually awkward also–you don’t want to come off as conceited but neither do you want to seem unappreciative. A fine line, but one I will gladly straddle. 🙂

I read this book tonight nonstop. This story is one of the best I’ve read in a long time. I lived the surprise ending. Kudos to Jenna for such a marvelous story. I give Heart of Darkness 4 collies and sheltie.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Lindsay. I truly appreciate that. 4 collies and a sheltie! Wow. Lassie would be so proud (my first dog, neither a collie nor a sheltie). So much praise for Heart of Deception, I’m not going to know which way to turn. 🙂

If you don’t know which way to turn, try turning around.
And I figures that since the collie is sort of my trademark I’d use them instead of stars. Of course the sheltie is the half star.
Of course that’s me just being me. Weird.
