I seem to write a book that people either really, really love or really, really, um…don’t love. If you’re one of the former, I adore you and daily send thanks for your existence. If you’re one of the latter, then you might want to click here  for some really good sangria recipes. If you haven’t read one of my books yet, here are some reviews, both good and not-so-good, to help you decide whether or not you might want to check them out (and, hey, why not have a nice glass of sangria while doing so?)

This is stuff that’s written about my books by astute, savvy, insightful people (ahem).

“[Bevarly’s] writing is quirky and funny and her heroes are hot. Could we ask for anything more?”
— The Oakland Press on The Thing about Men

“Full of the author’s trademark humor, this witty romance is a jaunty romp through the world of the rich and mischievous.”
— Romantic Times on The Ring on Her Finger

“…a supersteamy beach novel….”
—Cosmopolitan magazine on Take Me, I’m Yours
(The magazine also recommended the book as one of its “hot hints” for ways to “feel sexier this summer.”)

“Wyatt and Julian are quirkily appealing romantic heroes, and Bevarly’s voice is fresh and funny.”
— Publisher’s Weekly on He Could Be the One

“Tycoon is a delightful, humorous, and smoothly written book—a must read.”
— The Denver Rocky Mountain News on How to Trap a Tycoon.

“Absolutely fabulous comedy…”
— Mrs. Giggles on Her Man Friday.
(Honest. Mrs. Giggles really did say that about HMF. I swear. It’s on Amazon. Of course, she immediately followed this comment with a, ah, less glowing one, but that’s why the punctuation gods created ellipses, right? Oh, fine. The next one is a legit endorsement for the book.)

“This practically perfect romance has…writing that is pure joy.”
— Library Journal on Her Man Friday

“…full of hijinks and belly laughs.”
— Detroit Free Press on My Man Pendleton
(The newspaper also named it one of the year’s best romances.)

“…enjoyable and funny.”
— Booklist on Express Male

“This is a book that’s like a drink of fresh water to all of us who are tired of reading about perfect women. There’s a bit of a mystery, a sexy hero, and a lot of terrific one-liners.”
— New York Times bestselling author Eloisa James on You’ve Got Male.

“Sexy…intriguing…compelling…charming…”
— Romantic Times on Just Like a Man.

Gosh, I could go on with the rave reviews all day long (and usually do on days when I’m alone and having trouble writing…kind of like how I put on a tinsel tiara on days when I’m alone and having trouble writing and pretend to be queen of the universe—but then, you don’t need to know all my dirty little secrets). So herewith, I give you a sampling of my Amazon.com reviews, which is where every writer goes whenever she wants to feel as if she’s been beaten up real bad.

“I found in reading My Man Pendleton, that the main characters seemed to act in ways that were so out of character, that the storyline began to slowly but surely lose credibility. The main characters started out very interesting, but the interaction and dialogue just got rather unbelievable…”

“Plot: illogical.”

“…the tale of choosing freedom over obligations is too far-fetched to become palatable.”

“The writing style undermined the reality of the characters, who are a little hard to believe in to begin with.”

“Improbable…”

“I didn’t buy it 100%…”

“…didn’t strike me as real.”

“Book is overwritten…situation was overblown…baby is overlooked…”

Hmmm… Losing credibility? Illogical? Far-fetched? Undermined reality? Hard to believe? Improbable? Didn’t buy it? Not real? Overblown? Ya know, I think I’m beginning to sense a pattern here. And all these reviews talk like those things are bad. How very odd…
