Confessions Of A Small Town Librarian

Published October 29, 2013 by adamcewan

It has been eleven days since the release of the first novella in my “Confessions” series and while I plot out the next and hopefully even better one, here are some of my favorite reviews it has had since its launch. What are some things that you would like to see in the next one?

By Catherine:
“I don’t read much erotica. The reason is that I find the plots dull and lacking as the stories center solely on the sexuality. With Confessions of a Small Town Librarian, I have found that the genre has been redeemed. I was reeled in from the very first page and I couldn’t stop until I devoured the whole thing in one setting. Mrs. McEwan has brought life back to this genre with the depth of her characters Anna and Ben, the twists and turns within the story that keep the reader enthralled, and of course the steamy chemistry. The mystery of the connection between Anna, the journals, and Ben was quite enthralling, but you will get no spoilers from me. I can’t wait to read the next installment.”

By Jeannette:
“Okay so here is the thing this book is not your ordinary erotic story by no means!! First off you have Anna, the local librarian who is certainly not what you would expect to see at your library or everyone would be lining up to check out books from this gorgeous gal!! Second, Ben, who is not only beyond Handsome on so many levels, he is the perfect man for Anna. Honestly he is a dream guy for anyone one!! I want him!!!!
Okay so here is what makes this tale unique. The story is not only heartwarming it really make you feel for the characters emotional. It is just not about the heat it is about true love finding a home. There is more!! The story is surrounded by the Mysterious Journals that was tucked away full of dust and in a very fragile state when Anna had discover them in the Library! However what is written within these pages is what has Anna biting at the bit to dig deeper into the entries! Now you ask why? Well I can’t tell you but I will say this…
What would you do with damaging information that fell into your lap…?”

By Kim:
“Hot, Hot, Hot! This was a very intriguing and sexy story. Anna is the town librarian who finding some hidden journals about the towns history and residents. As she takes the journey to find out more about these people, she becomes involved with the very sexy Ben. After just a few moments together, they have a chemistry that will knock your socks off. I’m not going to give spoilers but hot and steamy read with some mystery behind the scenes, then this is your book. Good job A. McEwan!”

By Jacquie:
“I was gifted a copy from the author for an honest review.
18+ readers only please.
Have you ever checked out old books, newspaper articles, or journals kept in a library to see the history of how someone’s life was? This story will send you looking for answers to the past and seeking that connection to the possible present.
While working at a library, Anna finds a journal from the late 1800s and decides she wants to do some investigating to see if any of Madame Josephine’s ancestors are around. Being from a small town, Anna finds out more than she ever expected.
Out on the town one evening, finally ready to get back into the single life, Anna and Megan head for a night of pool. When the gorgeous and sexy Ben comes up behind Anna, there is no control with this librarian as she finds herself questioning where the comments are coming from that are slipping from her own lips. Could things be too good to be true for the two of them or is this a romance worth staying around for? What connection could Ben have with the journals? This is a great read from Ms. McEwan.”

By Ana:
“Wow, this book was amazing. I knew it was going to be good just from the cover. The cover just is just the beginning in what you will find when you start to read it. I started and couldn’t put it down.It is a book for 18+ but it was well written, it was so vividly detailed you can just see the action taking place. I loved the characters Anna and Megan how close they were as children to adults. Anna close to a divorce pending just her ex’s signature, I loved how she handle herself with him. And Her meeting Ben was no rebound guy, the way he was described wow.. I would love to be that Anna being my name is Ana just one N. But overall the pages just gets better. As she works in the small town Library Anna uncover secrets that can harm people in the town, she uncovers a personal diary of Josephine from the 1800’s. I would of love to read those dairies myself. Love secrets… so enough of the spoilers.. This Book is awesome it will have you smiling,laughing, and oh yeah hot too.. lol.. I can’t wait for the next part, I definitely recommend this book to 18+ readers it will have you reading it over and over again.. a sure keeper in your library of eBooks. I was given a free copy of this eBook for my honest review… and believe me you won’t regret getting this one. One of the best eBooks I have read so far among a few others.”

From Coco:
“Small town librarian, Anna, stumbles across some old journals that weave a tale of mystery and captivates her attention. She’s intrigued with the new history they paint for her town. Espionage, brothels, it’s enthralling.
Newly single and bound for a night on the town with her best friend, Megan, they start a game of billiards with an unexpected twist: Anna meets the gorgeous Ben and takes off to sew her wild oats.
She’s overcome with unfamiliar feelings and loses grip on her control. Ben is simply irresistible and becomes an easy distraction from the divorce she’s going through.
Steamy and laced with mystery. How does Ben connect to these journals? Is he her true love?
Great read from A. McEwan.”

“His green eyes were almost glowing, the sweat glistening off of his face and chest, I stood up on my toes and brought his lips down upon my own. He moaned against my mouth and I traced his lips with my tongue and parted his lips.  I kissed him so deeply and so full of desire, I didn’t even notice I had drew one leg up on the couch so his hand could keep making my body purr.  I just wanted him everywhere.” ©

Here’s an excerpt from the book, ‘The Old Star’

He heard the door to the room open and spun around to see Cathy walk in. She was hesitant. Owen strode to her so pleased to see her he couldn’t stop a huge smile forming on his face. “Cathy, I hoped you’d drop in before leaving. How did it go with the locksmith, all fixed?” He stopped close to her and looked into her eyes. ‘She is very pretty. I’d like to get a kiss from her today.’
“Curiously the locksmith told me there is nothing wrong and the lock is new. He thinks that I haven’t been locking it properly, but I know I have.” She frowned slightly.
Owen felt like leaning in and kissing the frown away, or at least smoothing it away with his thumb as he held her face. He smiled. “What about Alfred Parr has he had trouble with it?” Owen was just interested in keeping Cathy talking and close, but he had sparked something in her mind because he saw her widen her eyes.
“Hey that’s true. When I first came here, I closed the door behind me after finding it ajar. It locked of course and stayed locked because Alfred used a key to get in and find me already here. That was the same today too…weird the door was locked okay when the locksmith arrived…”
Owen watched her consider this, but wanted to establish something between them to make her want to see him the next day. Ordinarily he’d ask a girl out but he couldn’t do that could he? He launched into flirting.
“You have such lovely eyes, Cathy. I hope that’s okay to say, just that when you frowned I felt like smoothing it away.” He gave her a look laden with promise. It was a practiced look.
Cathy gazed at him. He took a deep breath and slowly put out his hand to hold her face and smoothed the place a frown had been.
“I guess you have someone in your life waiting for you to get home. You wouldn’t want to stay a while and talk to me about your plans for the place.” He kept his voice low and looked at her lips. It was no hardship. He felt an overwhelming urge to kiss her. He bent his head to be even closer to her as she stayed there stilled under his hand and his gaze.
‘She has to be attracted to me. She has to be, or she’d have shaken off my touch and be backing away.’
“I don’t have anyone, special that is. I’d like to stay a while.”
Owen moved so slowly he felt as if he had entered some dream state, but he reached her lips with his, and holding her face gently, he kissed her. Her lips were soft and she kissed him back. It felt so good he couldn’t pull away as he intended.

Author Spotlight – Kim McNiel

Published August 12, 2013 by adamcewan

I’m proud to spotlight my Hot Ink Press pub sister, Kim McNiel.  Her book, “Caleb” has been heating up the charts and I have to admit, I loved that it was written in “his” point of view, no matter how bad I just wanted to beat the shit out of him. I really enjoyed that it MADE me want to do that to him.  Caleb is one bad, bad boy that any girl would love to hate.

Caleb loves the ladies and can’t keep his ego in his pants. With a new set of legs to wrap around him every two nights, he never thinks about what he’d do if Sarah caught him – until she does.
The repercussions are cataclysmic, giving him a second chance at life. Who is Caleb really? The ego or the man he professes to be? This playa plays to win.

Caleb
Hot cover isn’t it? Check out this excerpt!
Stopping at the florist on the way home, I pull in and pick up a dozen pink roses for Sarah. Yes, sucking ass big time.
Hey, if it works…then I’ll be all good. When I’m good, everyone is good. God forbid I get red roses, she’d want to run off to the fucking chapel. That isn’t going to happen to me, not in this lifetime anyways. I stroll in the house.
“I’m home babe,” I yell out, dropping the folder on the table.
“Upstairs,” Sarah yells back. I know this tone.
Skipping two steps at a time, I follow the circular staircase. I dodge the hanging chandelier with my head. Something else she had to have, forgetting I am well over six fucking feet tall.
“Hi darling, these are for you,” I hand her the flowers.
“Why? Because you slammed the phone down in my ear earlier?”
And…here we go! She’s such a bitchacoholic.
