Anny Cook burst onto the scene with an entirely new spin on an old tale - namely Chrysanthemum, an completely different look at the story of King Arthur. I'll be honest. I was a bit skeptical. But never one to pass up an opportunity I took a chance.
And was delighted :)
If you haven't read this book, you really should. And you know I'm not going to give away any of the goodies here. I'm just going to give you a tempting blurb:
Chrysanthemum
"On that dark day Arthur, mortally wounded, was taken to the Isle of Avalon by Vivian, Lady of the Lake, and Merlin, where he died and was laid to rest in the crystal cave…" Well, actually, that's not quite the way it happened.
In truth, Queen Vivian and Merlin abducted the king and returned him to his home planet, Avalon. Now he's anxious to marry off his youngest son, Gareth. When Florian LeFleur, his wardrobe guardian, asks permission to bring his three unmarried daughters to court, Arthur decides it's the perfect opportunity and assigns Gareth to oversee their time at Came-a-lot Castle.
Despite her determination to remain heart-free, Chrysanthemum immediately falls for Gareth. Life should have been rosy but there were roadblocks along the path to happily ever after. The Blue Knight captured Arthur, Percival the dragon demanded a virgin, Queen Vivian decided it would be the perfect time to stage a coup and the Abbott at Solomon's Choice Abbey chose Chrysanthemum for their ritual deflowering.
Will Gareth get Chrysanthemum to the priest in time to save the king and Avalon?
And what does Anny have to say about herself? Let me share a snippet of info from Anny:
I'm old enough to know better and young enough to be daring. I have a husband who encourages me to write and provides the time and a place to do so. I have children who are proud of the things I've accomplished and grandchildren who are too young to know what that might be.
An elderly cat and dog keep me company as I do the one thing I really, really love to do...and that is write. I'm so lucky that my life has circled back around to this place where I can sit at my desk as long as I want, imagining and creating new worlds, new characters, and writing about their lives. I hope you enjoy my creations as much as I do.
Thanks Anny. We'll be looking forward to more sizzling reads!If light-hearted but sensual books are your thing, then RUN over to Ellora's Cave for a copy of this book. Those among you who are fans of light bondage will find something to provide a nice heat and everyone who enjoys a creative story line with humor, fantasy and sensuality that is steamy hot, will delight in this book.

Everyone should read this book. Well--everyone who likes fall-on-the floor humor and heatstroke inducing sex. I absolutely cannot WAIT for the next one. And the next, and the next...
Oh yeah, did they mention the dragon? Percival is my very favorite character!
I loved Chrysanthemum - funny and sexy and smart
Sounds like a fascinating book! I've really got to find time to read more. Great cover too!
