"Wicked Gentlemen" by Ginn Hale gets a stunning review from the very hard to please Dear Author. Deservedly so.  An A- from Dear Author? Pretty damned rare.

I'm proud to have to nominated this book for their recent awards where it came 2nd in the GLBT category.  If you haven't bought it, haven't read it, then pop over to read the review, then read the excerpt. My review is here, if you're interested.  Definitely one of my best reads of last year.

Rainbow Reviews is having a Scavenger Hunt which starts on 1st June - here's what they say on their website:

For the month of June, Rainbow Reviews will host a scavenger hunt! Some fabulous authors have agreed to donate copies of their books as prizes, and all you have to do is find a graphic hidden somewhere on their site!

The rules of the hunt are simple:

1. Each participating author will place the following graphic somewhere on their website.

2. All sites will be listed on this page once the hunt begins. Just visit each site, find the graphic, and send ONE email listing all of the links where you found the graphic to scavenge@rainbow-reviews.com You must have one link from each author to complete the scavenger hunt. The links in your email must go directly to the pages where you found the graphic. Any incomplete emails will be disqualified.

3. On June 30th, the winners will be announced … one for each book we’re giving away!

I've signed up as a participating author - so what are you waiting for?

I was pondering whether or not to add that book to my wishlist at amazon.com the other night. Based on this post and the links you provided, I think I shall.

Thanks

Believe me, you won't regret it. There's only one thing wrong with it, is that it's too damned short, as I said in my review it has the feeling of fanfic, of short stories of a huge world and I want to know more and more and more about that world. There's so much imagination within, so many inventions that it's criminal that it's not a 1000 page epic.

I finished Wicked Gentlemen over this weekend and I LOVED it! Thanks for recommending it to me - definitely one of this year high points... it was sitting there on the ToReadPile for ages - gone straight to the ToReadAgainPile :D:D:D (I will Squee about it on my LJ when I have a moment).

I read that book a while ago and all I can say is you are RIGHT! It was too short. Actually I'm hoping to see the characters again. And may I say it has the finest, most heart-stoppingly subtle conflict resolution line of any book that I've ever read (so subtle I can put it right here, and no one would know what I was talking about until after they read the book) and I will never forget it. Four words that say everything.

I may have lied. (no quotes cause I can't find my copy and I may be paraphrasing)

Yeesh, what I wouldn't GIVE to write like Ginn Hale. (Um, Satan? forget I said that.)
