May 23, 2007 | All Work and No Play, contests, reviews, six-word novel
I’ve had the first reviews back on my June Modern Extra release, All Work and No Play…
And here’s what people have had to say.
Whoah!! This is one seriously HOT book!…the most sizzling Modern Extra that I have read to date. But with Jay/Jonny as the hero how could it not be..? (5 roses)
Romance Reviewed
Julie Cohen pens a delectably sexy story about overcoming inner demons and finding out what matters most in life. Jane’s insecurities immediately endear her to you, and Jonny’s caring and obvious love for her will melt your heart. The sparks practically fly off the page when the two characters cross paths for the first time, and the heat never lessens for the rest of the book. ALL WORK AND NO PLAY will liven up anyone’s dull day.

This is my last Modern Extra for this year so I’m glad it’s getting good reviews so far.
And in celebration, I’ll run a contest, for a copy of All Work and No Play…:

For sale: baby shoes, never worn.
