Breaking the Rules
“This is one hot steamy, raw, sexy and erotic romance. This is not a Princess Charming and her damsel in distress kind of story. These characters are way too strong-willed and opinionated for that. The story is bold, straightforward, and a good read.”—Rainbow Reflections
Visions
“Past intertwines with present in Rose’s (Kiss the Rain) charming new erotic romance. Fortunately, the seduction unfolds with enough spice and sweetness to keep readers satisfied.”—Publishers Weekly
“I howled, applauded, panted, and dabbed away the tears from pure pleasure while reading this book. This is a wonderful multi-layered love story, peppered with nearly devastating confusion, and practically undermined by misunderstood class collision. I think it would be divine to see this as a play or movie, but the remarkably pure sexual heat would definitely limit the distribution venue. What a shame. At least there is the written word and that has masterfully unraveled the intimacy and details allowing me to savor the humor, the women, and the monumental obstacles seeking to crumble the wishes and desires for the star-crossed characters. I unquestionably recommend this!”—Rainbow Book Reviews
Kiss the Rain
“In this story Larkin Rose has created two awesome leading women who in their own way tower over everyone. I was truly dazed at the beginning and continued to be astounded throughout the novel. …I can, without a doubt, recommend this book for the extraordinary strength and stunning depth that each noteworthy woman presented to me over and over again. Transcendent! [The conclusion] sent me soaring and believing in miracles. This book is like ambrosia and a nearly perfect kiss among Eve, Jodi, and the rain. Incredibly satisfying!”—Rainbow Book Reviews
“Even if you’re not a fan of erotica, Larkin Rose is an expert at knowing how to keep you turning the pages. Kiss the Rain is the story of what happens when Jodi and Eve meet during London’s Fashion Week. It also tells how lives can change in seven days. The sex is extremely hot, and the tension is high. This is an enjoyable read which is perfect for a beautiful spring day.”—Just About Write
Vapor
“This story possibly takes the ultimate award in having two people completely misconstrue each other. Plus, they never talk about it. Of course, with the super sizzling action between the sheets, on the staircase, in the washroom, who really has time to discuss anything? Brilliant, engaging, funny, tearful, and loaded with love, I was beguiled from the very beginning. Hats off to Larkin Rose, another Bold Strokes Books author, for masterminding this marvelous book.”—Rainbow Book Reviews
No Leavin’ Love
“This story feels like an allegory and from that viewpoint it soars, dips, spins wildly around its central theme, and certainly touched my own heart’s periodic desire and longing to go home. These are two powerfully impressive women, who pretty much met their match between them. I certainly recommend you stay the course, enjoy the wedding, and then discover when or how the loose ends get resolved. Marvelously pleasurable!”—Rainbow Book Reviews
I Dare You
“Oh my goodness. Well, this is quite a lovely leap and a jump from Ms. Rose’s first book. Gritty, sexy as all get-out, and broadcasting her leading women’s passions, doubts, and strengths all over the place. I wouldn’t want it any other way. Kelsey and Jordan are very strong characters and it is hard to imagine them not burning each other out or obliterating each other from the face of the earth. I found this pairing incredibly refreshing and provocative.”—Rainbow Book Reviews
“Rose’s well-crafted debut novel is erotica with benefits—plausible plotting, a fast pace, and well-defined secondary characters, including an engaging gay drag queen whose sturdy shoulder is always there when Kelsey needs grounded queer advice.”—Q Syndicate
