The Long and Short of
It
The
Long and the Short of It hopes to contribute to the Romantic Fiction world in a positive way. Our philosophy is:
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
The Long and the Short of It consists of two segments. LASR is our non-erotic
site and Whipped Cream is our site for erotic romance. Both sites strive to bring you the best in Romantic Fiction. You will
find author interviews, free short stories, contests and fun activities in both segments. Please note, our Whipped Cream segment
is reserved for readers aged eighteen or older, because of the adult content of that segment.
You'll only find positive reviews in the reviews
sections of each segment. This doesn't mean we like everything we read -- far from it. What it does mean is,
we only post reviews of those books we like. There are enough reviews sites and various blogs that are "snarky" or negative.
We do not choose to be one of them.
Our policy: If we have a book or story submitted to us for review, and the first reviewer
doesn't like it, it is reassigned to another reviewer. If that reviewer doesn't like it, it is forwarded to one of the
owners of this site. If we agree with their assessment, an email will be sent to the author or publisher, declining
to review their story.
We strive to be both honest and positive and hope that this resonates with you.
We also have Yahoo
groups for both Whipped Cream and LASR where we offer Q&A days for our interviewed authors and free Saturday chats for
publishers and authors.

Enchanting Reviews:
Welcome to Enchanting Reviews, where our reviews are as enchanting as the books we read.
We are your 'Romantic Element Reviewers' - any book that has a romantic element in it, even if it is not a "typical romance",
is up for review. Authors such as Charlaine Harris, Carrie Vaughn, Stephanie Rowe, MaryJanice Davidson and Laurell K Hamilton comprise some of what we have reviewed.
We are dedicated to romance in all of its stages and many forms, including erotica, inspirational, and young adult.
Visit our site www.enchantingreviews.com to see our
reviews, contest information, and chat schedule. Visit our Rave Reviews page to see a list of the books our reviewers
loved and you just might end up with a new favorite author!
Enchanting Reviews is on the hunt for a few good reviewers to join our team. Do you like
to read romances and wish you could tell the author how much you enjoyed their work? Here is your chance! Are you an author
yourself and want some additional exposure? If either of these fits you, why not join our review team? If you have ever told
a friend about a book you loved or hated, you have what it takes to be a reviewer. To be a part of this new and exciting
adventure, please send an email to enchanting_reviews@yahoo.com.
We
are also looking for new books to review. Please send our review coordinator, dawn, an e-mail at enchanting_reviews@yahoo.com. Authors -
if you are looking for a well rounded place to have your book reviewed by fellow authors and fans of romance, please drop
us a line or visit our website and send us a message from the CONTACT page.
Unfortunately,
we cannot guarantee a review from every request we receive. When you send a query, please include TITLE,
AUTHOR, PUBLISHER, GENRE, RELEASE DATE, PRICE, NUMBER OF PAGES, and BOOK BLURB. We will send your review request
out to our reviewers and once we have a reviewer wanting to read your book, we will contact you personally. It typically
takes six weeks from the time the reviewer receives the book for a final review to be mailed to you for approval to post
on our website. Thanks and hope to see you at Enchanting Reviews soon!

Its Name is the only review site dedicated purely to Gay Male Historical Fiction. We want to encourage the genre which is
small but growing steadily. We attempt to list every single gay historical written, on THE LIST and we are always
looking for more to add to The
List. So if you've written a novel with gay protagonists that is set pre-Stonewall/Wolfenden, we want to hear from
you.

Sage Fire Reviews
Phenomenal Book Reviews for
Extraordinary Books. Posted
reviews are in the Idaho Library Association review format, which includes a synopsis, impression, and citations. This
is because the bi-monthly notice of revision is emailed to Northwest libraries, newspapers, and publishers.
The Sage Fire Reviews web site is published by NBCC critic and
author M.D. Johnson on a bi-weekly basis. Policy of the site is not to discriminate on genre, sexuality, or print venue.
Please visit the site to see if we fit in with your marketing needs. Guest reviewers are always welcome. We Currently
need guest reviewers for Regency, Erotica, and Non-Fiction.
BooksForABuck.com publishes novel-length
romance, woman's fiction, mystery/thriller, science fiction and fantasy--and we also review books in the same genre. We are
open to review submissions from both traditional and
small publishers and are proud to give readers a look at some of the
best that's available today. For the most part, our reviews are positive--because our reviewers don't bother finishing most
books they don't enjoy, and submitting is no guarantee that a book will be reviewed. We prefer to review books that have been
published recently although we will, occasionally, review an older book.
For readers, we believe that we review many of
the best in current fiction--both from best-selling authors and from authors you might not yet have discovered.

Red Roses
For Authors was set up to review romance books. We like to review new authors if we can, because we know how hard it
is to get reviews unless you already have a name. We review and interview authors and we have Featured Authors and also
the Christmas Awards. For the Christmas Awards the reviewers choose the books they have liked best and then we
invite readers to vote for their favourite. The awards were for short and full length books last year. This year
I think we may have more categories. The winner receives a small prize to keep as a keepsake of their win.
The email address
to send reviews is at the website.
