Steamy, scorching, sexy and passionate ….

Yep, you guessed it, I’m talking about the fabulous Cris Anson. Her books have earned rave reviews and a host of fans, and if you’ve missed reading a book by Cris you’ve sure cheated yourself out of a fascinating and enchanting good time.

One of my favorite books by Cris is Dance of the Crystal. It’s received critical acclaim, and an excerpt of it was featured in Playgirl Magazine. In case you haven’t read it, I won’t spoil it for you by saying too much, but will give you a tempting blurb to stimulate your appetite.

Dance of the Crystal

Ex-Marine and bar-owner Soren, the quiet loner of the Thorvald brothers, reluctantly offers himself at a Take a Bachelor to Dinner Auction for charity. But when the minx who “won” him seems to be making a quick getaway under the table, a humiliated and angry Soren hoists her over his shoulder and storms from the ballroom.

So begins a rocky love affair between two unlikely people.

But when thirty-year old Crystal D’Angelo’s talisman tells her that Soren is The One she’s been waiting for, she’s ready to give him everything—heart, soul…virginity.

Soren, whose “man-woman skills” are almost nonexistent, finds he is unable to stay away from the innocent but sensual Crystal, who unleashes a sexual side of him he never knew existed.

But convincing Soren—who learned as a child that love hurts, and no woman can be trusted with his heart—that what she feels for him is about more than magic, is a tough battle she won’t give up on.

As things heat up between them, a psychotic stalker takes exception to Crystal’s relationship with Soren and violently turns her world upside down.

Trust me, this third book in Cris’ Dance series is a must read. Of course, you don’t have to trust me. You can take the advice of reviewers, who’ve made comments such as:

“Filled to the brim with humor, steamy erotic scenes, passionate emotions, and thrilling action, Dance of the Crystal is a truly magnificent tale, with a depth that I don’t see very often. This is definitely one series that everyone should keep an eye on!”

About Cris:

Cris Anson firmly believes that love is the greatest gift…to give or to receive. In her writing, she lives for the moment when her characters realize they love each other, usually after much antagonism and conflict. And when they express that love physically, Cris keeps a fire extinguisher near the keyboard in case of spontaneous combustion. Multi-published and twice EPPIE-nominated in romantic suspense under another name, she was usually asked to tone down her love scenes. For Ellora’s Cave, she’s happy to turn the flame as high as it will go—and then some.

After suffering the loss of her real-life hero/husband of twenty-two years, Cris has picked up the pieces of her life and tries to remember only the good times...slow-dancing with him to the Big-Band sound of Glenn Miller's music, vacations to scenic national parks in a snug recreational vehicle, his tender and fierce love, his unflagging belief in her ability to write stories that touch the heart as well as the libido. Bits and pieces of his tenacity, optimism, code of honor and lust for life will live on in her imaginary heroes.

From someone who has experienced the spontaneous combustion that can result from a book by Cris Anson, I say HURRY over to Ellora’s Cave to purchase her books. Cris has a Quickie releasing from Ellora’s Cave in October “Mischief Night”.
