Chronicles of Surrender Reviews

The Chronicles of Surrender are really getting some great press lately...yay! Here are a few selections from the latest round of reviews:


Manic Readers Alex JouJou said, "First if you have not read the first two books in the series: Sacred Secrets and Sacred Revelations you must do so now. Do not stop. Do not pass go. Just collect the riches that come with the two that came before and hang on for the ride of your life! ... Book #3 is a departure in the series—being much more focused on Frye and his past as well as his future. Since he was the character I was majorly in lust with from the first two books I eagerly awaited what new treats were in store for me (and Kitten) in Unholy Promises. The action is sharp and taut—bowstring tight ... I’ve often read online that Roxy Harte writes BDSM erotica with a lens of examining the emotional and mental aspects of these types of relationships and I can say she does it extremely well. She is amongst the best writing in this area of the genre today. She will throw you far and fast past all your hard limits—and you’ll like it. It seems as if every scene has even more emotional impact than the last. Plus the sex. Oh. My. God the sex. Mind blowing."





You can books from the series directly from Lyrical Press in either ebook or print: Roxy Harte at Lyrical Press



From Whipped Cream Erotic Romance, "Echo of Redemption...The “play” really took precedence in this story even over the sex which I found fascinating. It definitely gave me a better insight on what a BSDM relationship can be. So if you are a true BDSM lover this would be a good series to look into."


Of course I love the reviews... so excited to finally be getting some recognition for this series after all the years of hard work.

What I love even more are my the reactions my readers share with me!
Just this week Danielle posted on her Facebook status:

"Just got the 4th book in the Chronicles of Surrender!!! Echo of Redemption will be going to work with me tonight and entertaining me."

 

and the next day:


"Has contemplated strangling a certain author... It is not good for me to get THIS wrapped around a book series.. especially when its still in progress and I have to wait for the next one! The book that I am currently reading is Echo of Redemption by the beautiful and talented Roxy Harte... it is the 4th in her "Chronicles of Surrender" and she is driving me flipping nutz!"

YOU'RE INVITED Now Available



So excited about todays release from Loose-Id to celebrate National Coming Out Day!
With so much bullying going and political soapboxing going on about homosexuality...it now seems more important
than ever to stand up and speak out about what's right... LGBT equality should be a number one priority for all of us!

I've never hidden my bisexuality from my friends and family but sometimes it feels like LGBT supporters forget about the B in the middle, like its somehow less relevant or important.... it isn't. Bullying and prejudices happen to all of us who are different from societies "norm" and it's past time to make DIVERSITY the norm!
On a lighter note...here's the blurb!

 Twenty-year-old hottie Bryce Jordan studies hard, plays Lacrosse, and juggles the ladies. He’s the envy of every man on campus, as much for his athletic body as for the different blonde on his arm every Friday night. He seems to have the world by the…
So, why is his best friend Stanley suddenly not speaking to him? And why does it matter so much? He gets to make amends but all goes awry when he receives a “Coming Out Party” invitation from his eccentric Aunt Tacky, who entertains at the drag club downtown spoofing celebrity meltdowns. He has no intention of going until Stanley holds their friendship hostage and insists on attending with him as his “guest.”
Unbeknown to Bryce, everyone has acknowledged his homosexuality except him, and the party was conspired between Aunt Tacky and Stanley to help him face the truth. After a light hearted game of spin the champagne bottle lands Stanley and Bryce in the closet, Bryce finally admits he’s been hiding the truth too long. If their friendship survives the night, Stanley and Bryce might just become more than best friends.
But at what cost?

Cries of Penance Reviewed by Dark Divas





**Jae’s Review:
I fell in love with these characters back in book one, Sacred Secrets, and book 2, Sacred Revelations sealed the deal. There is no way I’d miss a story set in Roxy Harte’s Chronicles of Surrender series. 



Cries of Penance brings to a head the relationship started in book one and shows us what can happen to this amazingly unique relationship when the world explodes around them.

Obviously the character development is outstanding; nothing else would account for how tied to these characters the readers become...

Be aware, as always, that the BDSM elements can be intense and dramatic...What a reader would be interested in knowing after reading books one through four is that the sexual elements in this book are new and unique as compared to the previous stories. In other words, there is no reliance on ‘tried and true’. Ms. Harte went out of her way to create an intensity based upon new issues within the relationship and while some made me personally wince (you’ll see what I mean toward the very end) all of them were nothing if not fascinating and clever...

 I can’t wait to see what Ms. Harte has in store of us in book six!
Rated 4 ½ Delightful Divas by Jae!

Fantasy or Nightmare?

Many women (and men) have very strong Exhibitionist leanings...and others are terrified of being exposed in public, which begs the question of this photo...fantasy? or nightmare?

Scary or Thought Provoking?

I love to find dark and foreboding photographs that can trigger a thousand ideas...
I think this is one

Doesn't this photo just make you long for a bygone era?



City Hall Subway Station in New York City, New York.(photo by John-Paul Palescandolo)

The City Hall Subway Station opened in October 1904 and was part of the first line of the New York City Subway. It was designed to be the showpiece of the new subway. The last train stopped at City Hall on December 31, 1945. The station was then closed because it would have been expensive and far too difficult to renovate the station at the modern standards. Another reason to close the station was the nearby Brooklyn Bridge station, which is much busier.
The ghost station is still used as a turning loop for 6 Lexington Avenue Local trains. The station can also be visited by registered members of the New York City Transit Museum.
