…Until the release of Scandalous Desires! I recently saw a super wonderful review for Scandalous Desires from blogger Katie Babs which begins:
“Elizabeth Hoyt has written the must read historical romance of the year. Scandalous Desires (Maiden Lane #3) is beyond perfect from beginning to end.”
Read the rest of the fabulous review here.
I’ve spiffed up the website for the release of Scandalous Desires. Here’s a few things you might want to check out:
You can download the fairy tale from Scandalous Desires, Clever John, along with an extended excerpt of the book. Just click on the purple Clever John cover. Clever John is also available FREE for Kindle, Nook, Sony, and as an iBook.
You can also download my free Insider’s Guide to Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane Series booklet.
I have a new Book of the Month for October.
And, finally, I’m running not one, but two fun contests this month: my regular website contest and a special contest with the fabulous Kristan Higgins: sign up for both our newsletters for a chance to win a Bad Boy Survival Kit full of fun!
Enjoy!

Woot! I just got my RT BookReviews magazine in the mail and was thrilled to see that Scandalous Desires got a 4 1/2 Stars Top Pick! review from RT reviewer, Kathe Robin:
“This is the Maiden Lane story readers have been waiting for. Hoyt delivers her hallmark fairy tale within a romance and takes readers into the depths of the heart and soul of her characters. Pure magic flows from her pen, lifting readers’ spirits with joy.”
Oh, dear, I’m blushing! 
Remember, Scandalous Desires will be available for both ebook download and in stores on October 18th!
Now on to some website updates:

I’m very pleased to announce that I’ve just signed a new contract with my publisher, Grand Central Publishing for three more books! They will be a continuation of the Maiden Lane series with characters I’ve been getting lots of reader mail about! The first book of the new contract will be released in summer 2012 and will feature Winter Makepeace and is tentatively titled Thief of Shadows. I hope you enjoy it!

 I spent last weekend putting together four raised vegetable beds made from cedar wood, although I’ve only filled one so far with soil. We planted tomatoes–yellow pear and brandywine–and carrots and multi-colored swiss chard. And then it rained the rest of the weekend and early this week and the entire backyard flooded! I’m so glad I decided on raised beds.
There’s only a little over a month left until the release of Wicked Intentions, the first book in my Maiden Lane series. I’ve posted the video for Wicked Intentions, along with a new research article, St. Giles and the Gin Craze on the Extras page. I’m giving away my very last arc of Wicked Intentions in my website contest along with a gift card for Barnes and Noble bookstores. Finally, for a limited time only I’ll be giving away a free first chapter excerpt booklet for Wicked Intentions–simply go to my contact page and order one.
Enjoy!

 A very Happy New Year to you and yours! I hope the new year will bring peace, prosperity, and plenty of reading pleasures.
I’m beginning a new book with the new year–Notorious Pleasures is the second book in the Maiden Lane series and involves the daughter of a duke who has found the perfect man to marry…and then falls for his less than perfect brother. We don’t have a release date for Notorious Pleasures yet (sometime in early 2011 most probably) but the first book in the series, Wicked Intentions, will be out this year in August.
And where exactly is the Wicked Intentions page?! Well, I’m waiting on the book cover to put it up. Hopefully by February!
Finally, the final chapter–and epilogue–of my free novella, The Ice Princess is up!
I hope you enjoy.

I’ve just handed in what I’m hoping is the final revision on my next book, Wicked Intentions, which will be out in August 2010. If you read the excerpt at the back of To Desire a Devil, you’ve already had a taste of Temperance and Lord Caire’s story. Wicked Intentions is the first book in my new Maiden Lane series and I’ve already started work on the second book (tentatively!) titled Notorious Pleasures. I’m hoping that we’ll soon have a cover so I can put up a page for Wicked Intentions with the excerpt and other info. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, I’ve posted Chapter 11 of The Ice Princess! This is the second to last chapter–I’ll be finishing up The Ice Princess in December.
I’ve posted a new Real Dog page for Rue, our newest Untrained Dog on the Extras page.
And finally, I have a new website contest up featuring three of Carolyn Jewel’s books.
Enjoy!

The days are getting warmer here in central Illinois. Max, the biggest Untrained Dog, is shedding enough fur to knit a king-sized sweater..except it would be a shaggy gray black sweater that would smell like a dog which I don’t think anyone would want.
I’ve received some letters recently from readers wondering what project I’m working on now and what’s up next after To Desire a Devil in November. A couple of weeks ago I signed a new contract with my publisher (Grand Central Publishing) for three books to be published in 2010 and 2011. I’m writing the first book now of what will be the Maiden Lane series. It’s titled Wicked Intentions. The hero of Wicked Intentions is Lazarus Huntington, Lord Caire, an emotionless aristocrat searching for the murderer of his mistress. To find the murderer Caire needs the help of Temperance Dews, a proper widow who runs a foundling home in St. Giles. But neither Temperance or Caire are quite what they seem on the surface…
Finally, here’s a few quick links:
