Chatting with Beth:
Selena: If you could be in a reality show, which show would it be and why?
Beth: Hmm…tough question. I can tell you which one it would NOT be—Survivor! While I used to have more of a sense of adventure, I really love my creature comforts and would hate roughing it with bugs and snakes and no air conditioning. Yes, I’m spoiled! As for which one I might do…? I don’t know…maybe The Biggest Loser. I have a few pounds to lose and could use a trainer sometimes to motivate me to exercise! I really don’t watch much reality TV. To me and my life, it’s not at all realistic!
Selena: I’m with you on not going on anything like Survivor. I don’t even like camping, much less, scounging for delectable bugs.
Celestial Seduction – sound intriguing? Come meet the author enter a Contest to win Swag & Book
Welcome Jessica Subject and thank you for sharing your latest release with us, a recipe and giving our readers a chance to win some prizes (details listed below on how you can win a swag and a book plus HUGE savings on books).
I had the pleasure of reading Jessica’s debut novel, CELESTIAL SEDUCTION.
Review of Celestial Seduction by Selena Robins:
Celestial Seduction is a short sci-fi story, and still with its shorter length and sci-fi feel, the author has created two loveable and relatable leading characters, high sexual tension, a strong conflict and a good ending. The sex scene remains true to the characters, and at the same time it is a well balanced mix of sexy, adorable, and pulls at the reader’s heart strings. During the lovemaking scene, the hero displays a unique vulnerability, delivering a powerful sensual punch that makes the reader swoon for him, admire the heroine’s patience, smile and experience the sizzling sexual chemistry.
Jessica Subject has a strong writing style and a good handle on writing engaging dialogue, balancing her active prose with narration and vivid descriptive phrases. She threads the right amount of back story without being intrusive so the reader has a good handle on the characters.
I don’t read the sci-fi genre, but Jessica has made a fan out of me. Whether you’re a fan of sci-fi or not, I highly recommend you pick up a copy of Celestial Seduction for a sweet and sexy read. Readers who are looking for good writing, a distinctive plot and characters will enjoy Celestial Seduction and look forward to reading more from Jessica Subject.

Selena: If you had the opportunity to join a circus, what would be your dream job with them?
Kimberley: I had to think long and hard about this one. I like lions, but I wouldn’t want to try and tame one, or stick my head in its mouth. Hmm. Maybe I’d join the Cirque du Soleil and learn some of those amazingly beautiful acrobatic feats.
