Vixen Pearl @Vixen Reviews ~ A Staged Affair 5 Pearls ![]()
“I found Ms. Sivad’s rendering—of the time period, the setting, the characters, everything that makes King and Anna butt heads—all very interesting, very well,well-done—and very hot!
So to anyone who loves a good, hot, story, and any western romance lover, do check out Gem Sivad’s A Staged Affair. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the (ahem) show.”

Talia Ricci @ Joyfully Reviewed said about A Staged Affair~
“Oh my but King was opinionated and ultimately male. I wanted to bonk him on the back of his head and admonish him to behave. But then, had he behaved, I don’t think I could have loved this bad boy as much…Gem Sivad has a fun, erotic, and great plot with A Staged Affair. I rolled my eyes and then sweated at the passion of these two strong characters.” Thumbs up!

Reviewers Name: JanaleeCondensed Review: “…a completely tender-hearted and moving tale of love between a man and a woman penned with a brilliant voice!…The characters fell into perfect and believable situations that carried this reader into an emotionally charged story of love and desire.

Reviewer:Brenda TalleyCondensed Review: “This book was a fantastic read. It was my first exposure to this author. Let me assure you it will not be my last…This book grabbed my interest from the first page. I could hardly put it down until I completed it. Then I wanted more.
Sivad’s main characters were so endearing…How the two…became a family is quite a compelling storyline. The myriad of supporting characters… helped the book become the winner that it is.
As you can tell, I love this book. The sensuality was simplistic, but not boring. It was told in the way 1882 would have viewed things. Her ability to stay true to the historical aspects helped make the book the hit it is. I highly recommend it.”
Suki @ Got Romance Reviews read Breed True. Her words are special because she admits that western romance just isn’t something she enjoys.
Suki says,
“First I need to preface this review by saying how I rarely read western Romances, those few that I have read I haven’t enjoyed. That just changed. Ms. Sivad has created a world and characters that are both enjoyable and compelling… From the first chapters all they way through the epilogue I was riveted. I look forward to what I hope will be more stories about these characters. Anyone who has read my reviews knows I do not give above a 4 lightly… This is an amazing read.”

Rose says~
“Breed True starts off with a bang…after the initial explosion of activity, the author sets out to help the reader unravel Jewel’s life, one piece of the puzzle at a time…
With sizzling chemistry between two strong leading characters, a supporting cast with their own stories still to tell, and an intriguing story with unpredictable plot twists…
I highly recommend Breed True .”

Mrs. Giggles had this to say about Breed True:
…What impresses me about this story is how Ms Sivad avoids inserting contemporary screes about prejudices and racial intolerance on a soapbox…
Ms Sivad allows her characters’ actions, reactions, thoughts, and fears to send home the message without any blatant preaching in the process. I really like Ms Sivad’s approach here…
And oh my, the love story is a joy to read. The romance simmers, building slowly as the characters learn more about each other and begin to trust the other person as a result…
Breed True is almost “old-fashioned” in how much it focuses on matters of the heart without resorting to fancy gimmicks like acrobatic sex scenes and werewolves…
I think I could have very well found a buried treasure of an author here.

Natalie@ Romance Junkies“
Breed True takes an original look at what some men might do to hold their land. Grady[Hawks]… is forceful at times and extremely dominant…Julie is more cautious, and while she desires him …her mind continues to test her heart…
Breed True is a historical romance unlike any I have read recently. The love scenes between Grady and Julie are rife with dominance and very erotic.”
“A truly satisfactory read!”
Wolf’s Tender – The Bounty Hunters: Book One
Brenda Talley @The Romance Studio says
“Ms. Gem Sivad has, once again, mesmerized me with her writing abilities. This, the first in a new series called The Bounty Hunters, is as good, if not better than the others I have read. This poignant love story involves two totally opposite personalities. They do, however, mesh their lives together in a beautiful way.The ending was totally unexpected. The action was nonstop and captivating. The sensuality was through the roof…I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical romance with a lot of drama.”

T. Barringer @ Love Romances & More says ~
“WOLF’S TENDER, is an erotically charged tale…The characters in this book are an unlikely pair for sure. The sparks these two incredibly different yet similarly determined and independent characters generate, heat the story from the moment they meet.
This reader cannot wait to read the next book in the Bounty Hunter series, when one of Charlie’s two fellow bounty hunting cousins falls prey to a romance of his own.”

“Wow. Talk about an emotional roller coaster ride … full of emotions and past hurts and scattered feelings. Intimate Strangers grabs you by the heart and reels you in. Sweating over what was going to happen, I couldn’t put it down. Congratulations to Gem Sivad. She definitely has written an excellent and enchanting novel.

See what LT Blue of JERR is saying about this hot, sexy, erotic romance book.
“Intimate Strangers. . . is not a book for the faint of heart. While there are the buzz words included that would classify this as an erotic romance…the sex was actually background noise and wasn’t really needed to make this a great read.
