This was my second Robin Covington novel. A while back, a friend pointed me towards Playing the Part, and I was blown away. I kicked myself because I didn’t get around to reading it until after I attended RWA where I got to meet the lovely Ms. Covington. In hindsight, it may have been a good thing that I hadn’t read any of her work prior to meeting her. I would have turned into a gushing fangirl, lol.

Lost in the mire of writing and edits, I didn’t get around to reading more of Robin’s work until her most recent release day, January 13th, when Sweet Southern Betrayal was unleashed upon the world.

If I tell you that I devoured this book in 2 hours, believe me when I say I am not exaggerating. The third in a series, I was stunned by Robin’s characterization and wonderful dialogue, not to mention her steamy, steamy scenes. I fell in love with this group of guys, and the women that captured their hearts. I immediately downloaded the first two books in her Boys Are Back In Town series and finished them both by lunch the next day. Writing could wait, this was a lesson in how-to.

Like your men Alpha, but with feels? They’re in this series. You want a little danger with your sexy? You’re on. You want strong, independent women? Hell yeah, she’s got them. Small town, big city – Robin captures her settings so well that you feel like you’re there. And you know I’m a dialogue girl, Robin doesn’t disappoint. These are real conversations being had by real, three-dimensional people. Did I mention the steamy factor? Off. The. Charts. *fans self*

If you’re looking for a new author to check out, Robin Covington should be high on your list. Pick up a copy of Sweet Southern Betrayal and say hi to Robin on Facebook and Twitter. Tell her Xio sent you.

Happy reading!
