    When is your next book due out? What is it about? Thanks in advance…

  • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

    Hahaha! I’m so glad to hear that you eventually liked it. And I hope you like HER PERFECT GIFT, too. Don’t tell my other heroes, but Suro’s kind of my favorite.

  • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

    Thanks so much, Shayla. I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

  • Shayla

    Threodora, I just finished reading “Her Perfect Gift”. I loved this book from beginning to the end!!! You are an awesome authour. I plan on reading the other books in this series as well. Keep up the great work. I am hooked!

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Thanks so much, Shayla. I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

  • Myers4cochran

    Just completed Wild One! I put it down after the first couple of chapters because I couldn’t understand where you were going. After I picked it back up, I never but it down again! Loved it!! Can’t wait to begin Her perfect Gift! I love alpha, compassionate males! Keep writing! Can’t say which is my favorite, ALL of the 50 states have been outstanding!

    Her Perfect Gift – WOW! What a great book! I really enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you!

      I’m glad! Thanks so much for the message.

    Theodora, I read the owner of his heart some months ago and just realized you had three other books out… I read her russian billionaire and her viking wolf over the last 3 days. I am so amazed by your writing. Especially your ability to develop the mythology of were/shifter culture. Most who try to delve into mythology, sci-fi, or fantasy have a hard time keeping up with consistency of the worlds they have created. I look forward to Wolf and Prejudice! I also adore the way you develop your lead females. Though they all are in need of some type of aid they are in no way damsels in distress! I SOOO appreciate your depiction of black women that goes beyond the archetypes of “sista girl,” “loud/sassy,” etc. I can see myself in all of your heroines. BUT! I just read a description of the wild one and I am SO nervous! Layla belongs to/with Nathan!

    If you ever decide to expand this website and want the help of another voracious IR reader such as yourself, let me know! I’d love to assist in your reviews. Hopefully one of these days you’ll be reviewing one of MY IR books. Thank you!

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      KaM B, thank you so much for this lovely comment, and I’m glad you liked the first three books. I think of my heroines as friends, so I’m glad you like them, too. Though I will confess that a sassy black woman is coming in 2013, so brace yourself — but I think you’ll like her. I might take you up on your offer and have been thinking of expanding the blog, since there are so many books now. But still not too many, so finish writing yours and let me know when it’s up. Best of luck!

      • KaM B

        Well… aren’t we all a bit sassy? lol. I guess I more so meant I love that you don’t adhere to the usual stereotypes. its so refreshing :) So far I think Alisha will be my favorite heroine… I have a degree in history and will one day have a phd (or law degree who knows) and the “bookworm” traits we see in her during the epilogue of Her viking wolf, are SO me… I can’t decide if she’ll end up with the other historian or Rafe. I honestly can’t decide which option is preferable to me! And I definitely will! And im serious! I will gladly review or act in any capacity for the website. Intern? Great way to gain experience. :)

  • Sweetie65

    Hi Theodora, when will your next book be out. I have already read your first three and I am looking foward to the fourth one.

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      The next book will be out next week! Big post coming soon…

      And thank you so, so much for reading the first three!

  • Bain

    I was wondering when are you going to release the fourth book in your 50 Loving States series, I order your current books and you are such a excellent writer. I love your books and the review of different authors is very helpful to me. I have brought books in the past and the writing was not good. Also I would recommend the “Valent Chamber” they have supreb writers on there and it’s free.

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Hey Bain,

      Thanks for the suggestions. I’m always on the lookout. The fourth book is coming next week. And I’m really happy you like the reviews. I love having an “excuse” to read more books.

  • Nicole

    I love your writing, you have quickly become my favorite IR romance author with only two novels. When will your 3rd book be available on allromance.com

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      That’s an amazing compliment. Thank you! HER VIKING WOLF goes wide on September 1st.

  • Penny

    THE OWNER OF HIS HEART, excellent! I couldn’t put my kindle fire down once I began reading this book. After reading this book, I immediately purchased Her Viking Wolf by whispernet. Can’t wait to began.

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Thanks so much for this kind comment. I hope you enjoy HER VIKING WOLF, too.

  • Sweetie65

    I don’t have a Kindle I have a Nook, so how long do I have to wait before Vikiing Wolf comes to Barnes & Nobles or All Romance?

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      It won’t go wide until September 1st, Sweetie65. :( Meanwhile, if you have a smartphone you can download it to the Kindle app. Sorry for the wait time.

  • Precious

    Viking Wolf is the best so far edging out Owner only slightly as my favorite. You continue to improve the alpha male each time. It will be interesting to see how you redeem Rafe. I can’t wait for the next installment.

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Oh, don’t you worry about Rafe. I’ve got a lot of plans for him. I’m so glad you enjoyed HER VIKING WOLF. And if you liked, OWNER, you’ll be happy to know Andrew’s story is up next.

  • http://www.facebook.com/LaBarbarita Barbie Pomales

    Hi !! I really like ur blog it cool to see that I am not the only one who likes IR romance. So are there any IR where the h is white or Spanish and H is black? Or the H is white and the h is spainsh?

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      That’s so funny, Barbie. I get in reading moods sometimes, and I was just thinking I should do a Latina heroine run. But here’s a link to our wwlm (white woman latino man) category: http://irbookreviews.com/category/wwlm/

      Let me know if come across anything good, and I’ll try to cover it here.

  • Vangiefan

    I found you on Amazon and bought both of your books. I read them both over the weekend and I can’t wait to get your next book. I know you have stated that its paranormal but are there any other details you can release. Whatever it’s about, I know that I will be buying it. I love your alpha males and your female characters are independent but sweet. I am also checking out another author that I have been hesitating on b/c of your review of her work. It’s so nice to read well written IR romance books!

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Wow, this is the BEST message. Thanks so much. I don’t often post a lot about my books before they’re available, because as a reader, I absolutely HATE finding an intriguing book description, then having to wait for it to actually come out. It feels like torture to me and I don’t want to do that to my own readers. That said, HER VIKING WOLF is now out on Amazon. Get all the details here: http://irbookreviews.com/2012/05/completely-free-billionaire/

  • ZanyOne

    I found you by accident, but now I am hooked. Owner and Russian are absolutely awesome. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment of the 50 states series. Do you have any other books in the works?

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      I have a paranormal coming out in June, and it looks like Andrew’s story will be out in September. Thanks so much for your comment!

  • http://www.facebook.com/singdammit Tamara Williams Van Horn

    Ms. Theodora, I have been drooling over the cover of “Her Russian Billionaire” for weeks, waiting to borrow it from Amazon- those lips! He looks like Maks from “Dancing With the Stars.” But last night, I found your review site, read every single review, and now I am BUYING your books, and a few others, through your page. Don’t let the haters get you down, and enjoy Colorado! It’s currently where I call home.

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Thanks so much, Tamara. I really appreciated this note.

  • Pam

    hi, i know you don’t read your reviews but you should check out what’s being said about you concerning Her Russian Billionaire on amazon, you are being accused of stealing another writers work

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      I’m in a technology wilderness right now, but I just texted a response to my best friend who will hopefully post it soon for me. Thanks so much for letting me know. That was really awesome of you.

  • Brooke Oliver

    My book club and I love your books. And was wondering when the third book was coming out. We can’t get enough. We even recommend to others. So glad I found a great IR writer.

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      That’s so cool of you to recommend my books! I really appreciate it. The next book is out in June. It’s actually a paranormal, but Andrew’s book will be hitting in September if contemporary is more your thing.

  • Vickie_jrdn

    I just finish reading “The Owner of His Heart. I really loved that book. Most of the time I wanted to throttle Nathan. The book was awesome from beginning to end. I really want “Her Russian Billionaire”, but it is only available for the kindle. Will you putting it in any other format?

  • troysmom0409

    Hi Theodora, My son is home sick so I just read both of your books in two days on my kindle!!! (I’m a horrible mom!) I was so disapointed that you only have two books so far! I just wanted to tell you that I love your work. I usually don’t like novels about people who have history together. Your novels…..I just can’t say enough. Please Please tell me you will be doing a story with a big girl!!???!!! I see from some of your reviews that you liked that about some of the heroines. I just want to say that you would do a big girl real justice. Just something to think about! Keep up the great work.

    D

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      You are not a horrible mom! My mom used to do the same thing. That’s how I learned to love reading. I will be writing a big girl. Stay tuned. What’s funny is that I’m not a big fan of reunion novels myself, but I’ve loved writing them.

  • guest

    Hi – Just noticed The Owner of His Heart is now at B&N. Will your new book be available at B&N any time soon?

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Not until June. :(

      • Dmcheart

        Theodora – I couldn’t wait until June! :-) Bought/downloaded and read on my android phone. ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE!! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! THANK YOU!!!

    • http://irbookreviews.com/ Theodora Taylor

      Thanks, Thea for your comment about my debut novel! Look for HER RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE in March. It’s so cool to meet another Theodora. It always feels like it’s often a middle as opposed to a first name, though…

    • http://irbookreviews.com Theodora Taylor

      Hey Thea!

      Just wanted to let you know that my second book, HER RUSSIAN BILLIONAIRE, is now available for download at Amazon: http://amzn.to/ySTiPC
