REVIEWS for The Seduction of Cassidy Flint

5 Stars: "Cassidy had been without a relationship for a while. While reading a magazine article about pleasing yourself, the hotel owner’s son walks up on her. She fears that she will lose her job, but will she gain much more? Cassidy describes herself as being 30 pounds overweight with saggy breasts. She is ignorant about intimacy. She is a character that the reader will love! Of course, Aiden is quite a guy. There is m/f and m/f/m. This book is straight-to-the-point, but it has a great plot. It is short, but the characters are well-developed. I recommend this!" —Ashley, Review Your Book

5 Kisses: "Cassie is a strong independent woman. She has finally taken stock of her life and realized that it is passing her by. Samantha Lucas is wonderful at bringing emotional and sexual heat together in a great story that will remain with the reader for a long time. I personally loved Cassie a lot. Aiden, though younger than Cassie, knows who he is. He is strong and just needs to be convinced a little that he needs love too. The Seduction of Cassidy Flint warms the heart and soul and is a read you will not soon forget." —Tina, Two Lips Reviews

5 Angels: "I loved The Seduction Of Cassidy Flint. Samantha Lucas does a great job with this story. Cassidy’s innocence in the ways of sex is at times funny, but most of all heart wrenching. Here’s a woman in her forties who knows less than the average teenager, and yet inside is a seductress just waiting to be brought out. Her transformation from an insecure woman to a confident self-assured one is breathtaking. With the help of Aiden she stretches her wings and flies. Aiden is the ultimate ladies man but he isn’t offensive in his attitude. He knows how to please them and he does. He just never lets any of them get close. As he struggles with his possessiveness of Cassidy, we see a man who’s been scarred in the past and not willing to allow anyone the chance to hurt him again. He often has a little boy lost feel to him, but Ms. Lucas has no trouble with this mix. The sex between them is hot enough to scorch the page and there’s plenty of it. Aiden’s friend Garrison is the third party involved in the ménage and this scene is done with taste and skill that Ms. Lucas should be proud of. Although the ménage scene is on the mild side, the overall feel is very erotic and satisfying. But it’s not just the sex that develops; Ms. Lucas hasn’t neglected the emotional. From beginning to end, The Seduction Of Cassidy Flint is a beautiful story of discovery, lust and love. More than worth the money, put it on your to buy list." —Rachel C., Fallen Angel Reviews

4 Cups: "Ms. Lucas created an exceptional story using wonderful characters that seem real with real life flaws. I loved how the author penned the heroine to be natural, not a perfect size and perfect life, but a common ordinary woman with all the insecurities and flaws as all we women have. And Aiden is the perfect match; there was no age difference in their personalities and likes. This story is filled with emotions that any woman can relate to. Pulled together, this entire story gives you everything you want from a romance; wonderful characters, sizzling sex, thrilling plot, and steady interesting dialect. An incredible read." —Wateena, Coffee Time Romance

4 Stars: "The Seduction of Cassidy Flint seduced me from beginning to end. Cassidy is an atypical heroine – on the other side of forty and single, in every sense of the word. The nervousness and doubts she had when discussing the attraction and potential affair with Aiden was so believable and heart-breaking. I was also touched by the issues Aiden had to deal with and how it affected him and how he reacts with Cassidy. If you are looking for a heart-felt story with hot sex, come get seduced by The Seduction of Cassidy Flint." —Amy Wynn, Ecataromance

REVIEWS for Torrid Hearts

4 Cups: "Ms. Samantha Lucas has written a hot, steamy and deep romp full of mind blowing episodes of great intimacy and tenderness. Sarah guards her heart with a quicksilver ability to change instantly while Drago’s determination to show her love in all its many faces is both endearing and commendable. I was captured by the first paragraph and had to complete it in one sitting. I truly enjoyed the interaction between Sarah and Drago, their intelligence sparking lively conversations and complex sharing. I loved this book."  —Kathy, Coffee Time Romance

REVIEWS for Tower of Secrets [A Siren Adult Fairy Tale]

4.5 Flags: "I liked this short story.. Though I wanted to hang Sebastian by his toes when he did what he did to Marina knowing what he was doing to her, she showed a true sign of love-forgiveness. This book is a hot, sexy, read." —Melisa, Euro-Reviews

4 Stars/Orgasmic: "The sexual intensity begins on the first page of Tower of Secrets and doesn’t let up until the end. Marina may be sheltered, but she knows her body, and she knows what excites her. She is a modern-day, erotic Rapunzel, locked in a tower by her father to keep her away from men. Sebastian may not have to climb up her hair to reach her, but he fits the fairy tale prince image just fine. He is an alpha male with a capital A, one who knows what he wants and who won’t let anything get in the way of possessing the woman he loves, both physically and emotionally. Together, Marina and Sebastian are explosive, and even though their relationship began to develop over instant messaging, it reaches its peak in real life. Every good fairy tale needs a villain, and Marina’s conniving, vindictive father fits the bill perfectly. This quick, searingly hot read makes a perfect bedtime story—especially if you’re not going to bed to sleep." —Lucia Nelson, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"Ms. Lucas writes a moving tale of a young woman imprisoned by her bad tempered father. Isolated practically since birth, Marina knows little about the outside world. All she knows is her father’s intense wrath and his keeping her locked inside the house’s Tower room. She longs for companionship, even that of someone coming through a computer. Therefore, seeing her cyber lover in the flesh thrills her, forgetting to fear her father discovering their internet liaison. Marina gives herself fully to Sebastian’s passionate skills, cherishing their time together while hoping they never separate. A Siren Publishing novella, Tower of Secrets gives the reader a compelling emotionally charged story, while delivering sizzling sex. Ms. Lucas’ earthy characters ignite the pages. Sebastian Montclaire always gets what he wants, making obvious his desires, whether in business or the bedroom. Showing up on the inventor’s doorstep, he demands to purchase Bennett’s computer code, while intending to find his elusive online lover so they may continue their affair…in the flesh. Sebastian gets more then he bargains for once he sees Marina, her innocent beauty threatens to steal his heart. A riveting tale…with captivating characters…Ms. Lucas pleases her readers with brisk, vivid suspense while imparting a poignant romance."  —Pamela, Romance at Heart

REVIEWS for Body, Heart & Soul

5 Angels: F.A.R. Recommended Read: "Body Heart and Soul by Samantha Lucas is a dark and highly emotional roller coaster of erotic proportions. Once you pick Body Heart and Soul up, you may have trouble putting it down. The storytelling gift of Samantha Lucas will draw you in from the beginning; a mysterious job on a tropical island that seems too good to be true, a summer spent in paradise at the home of a wealthy woman. A dream that turns into a sexual awakening for a vulnerable young woman, Body Heart and Soul is a non stop emotional story of innocence and wickedness. Devlin, Barbara, and Kira are well rounded characters with depth and distinction that is hard to ignore; they are in your face from the moment they enter a scene, demanding your attention and ensuring you take notice of them, good and bad. Samantha Lucas has a gift for description and characterization; this reader felt like these characters were friends, needing my love and support throughout the story. The sexual exploits are appropriate to the story and exceed expectations for romance and emotional connection. Body Heart and Soul is a book I am happy to recommend, and Samantha Lucas is an author I will be watching for future projects." —Scarlet, Fallen Angel Reviews

5 Hearts: "This is such a great book that it would be easy to get lost in the action! There is a lot going on, but Ms. Samantha Lucas is to be commended for her excellent job writing this novel! I absolutely loved the plot as well as the characters.
     Devlin Kiersen, 38, had been involved with Barbara Folsom-Worthington, 53, for the past 12 years. Each summer she hired an assistant to go to a private island with her. This year she hired Kira Kimberlynn Nestor, 24-year-old college senior, majoring in art. By accepting employment with Barbara, she got a brand new, expensive wardrobe, luxurious accommodations, and a social life she had never dreamed possible. There was just one big problem! Kira didn’t realize what kind of “assistant” Barbara hired every year. Since she was 15 years older than Dev, and she liked to swing both ways, Barbara always hired a young, beautiful woman to keep them both entertained. However, she always let Dev go first!
     This book, as I said, is packed with strong character personalities with lots of energy and high sex drives, as well as sordid pasts. Ms. Lucas has presented them just as you would unfold a family portrait; each person has such depth and, either caring or self-interested, all share a desire to have someone to love. Even though Kira is consistent throughout the book, it is obvious that she is out of her league. To say that they had unusual activities is an understatement! This unique plot, while fast-paced, was almost impossible to put down. I loved the way she developed the two main characters and allowed us to figuratively see into their souls! The sexual scenes were very explicit and quite often; however, I felt they were artistically done and emotionally stirring!
     I really loved this book and feel that it should be read by all; you definitely will not be disappointed. Well done, Ms. Lucas!" —Brenda Talley, The Romance Studio

5 Hearts: "Ms. Lucas penned a scorching tale of a lost soul finding refuge in the innocence of a woman. Balancing to perfection the sexual elements that guide this story along without overshadowing the premise. Ms. Lucas lends a true grace to her erotic voice—one that calls to the soul, evoking heartfelt feelings and erotic desires. The lives of the characters are fully developed, with believable situations and dialogues. A beautifully done piece of erotic fiction! Body, Heart and Soul  is what great storytelling is all about. Ms. Lucas writes with realism and heart and displays this in her characters. If you are hungering for an exceptional contemporary erotic romance that will stay with you long after the book is closed, then stop by Siren Publishing to picked up your copy today. This reviewer cannot wait to see what Ms. Lucas crafts next!" —Janalee, Love Romances and More

5 Kisses: "Body, Heart and Soul is a fantastic book. Samantha Lucas has written a fabulous story of two unlikely people who fall in love. I loved the characters. Ms. Lucas brings these two together beautifully. There were times I just wanted to cry for Devlin and times when I wanted to say, duh Kira, wake up! I just expected another love story with great sex, but this was so much more. You don’t want to miss this book. Read it today." —Julianne, Two Lips Reviews
