Catching Caroline
I thought about using "Damn you, Sylvia," as the title of this post, but I decided that was too harsh, even though I mean it in the best possible way. Let me explain.
Last weekend I was doing the web surf thing and I visit Sylvia Day's blog. The cover of Catching Caroline catches my eye (pun intended), and I decide to read the excerpt. From there, I decide to buy the story.
So now I had a new e-book to try. I printed a copy, since it's only 36 pages, and sat down to read. And I loved it. Just loved it! It may be short, but it's a terrific story nonetheless. She sets up the characters well, turns up the heat, and adds a surprising twist: 4.5 out of 5.
Back I go to Sylvia's website to see what else she's written, and here's what I see: another short story and a book that won't be out until early 2006. That's it. If you heard an eerie high-pitched scream, that was me expressing my frustration. Damn you, Sylvia.
And thanks for a fun read. I look forward to the next one.

Hmm...I might have to try this one out.
Glad that your ebook experience is getting much better.
Yay!! I'm so happy you liked the story. :) I have books in the queue with Ellora's Cave. *fingers crossed* they come out before Bad Boys Ahoy! in Feb.
Thank you for raving about Catching Caroline. It means a lot to me.
36 pages? eek I didn't know it was that short.
Then again I didn't know it was out now either. I shall check it out.
thanks!
Nicole and Sybil, Catching Caroline is short but good. Check out the excerpt; if you like that, you'll probably like the rest of the story.
Sylvia, thanks for stopping by and for not being put off by my swearing at you. LOL! You can be sure I'll get Bad Boys Ahoy! and I'll check out your EC work, too.
