Reviews of CAPTIVE
If you've ever seen the Australian film "Restraint," starring the
infinitely hot Stephen Moyer, then you no doubt remember it as
crackling with homoerotic sexual tension between a violent criminal and
his house-bound captive. In "Captive," Scarlet Blackwell has distilled
the tension and danger into a tightly woven, suspenseful
guy-dominates-guy tale. Rating: 41/2 out of 5 Stars.Read More at Rainbow ReviewsAn Alaskan retreat seems to be the perfect location for author Gabriel
Black to work on his latest novel. Gabriel has a deadline looming on
the horizon and hopes the hideaway’s solace will allow some peace and
quiet. When Ethan, an armed trespasser, makes his presence known, he
turns Gabriel’s winter abode into an inescapable prison. Gabriel’s
desire to work changes to a quest for survival, and the author isn’t
above using seduction to escape.Rating: 4 out of 5 Nymphs.Read More at Literary Nymphs
When
a man breaks into his home and holds him captive, Gabriel is stunned and
scared. Ethan is an angry and demanding captor. He berates Gabriel for
being gay, but Gabriel sees heat in his eyes when Ethan looks at him.
Even as he binds him, Ethan can’t deny his feelings for Gabriel for long.
Reality
and fantasy mix in Captive. I was on edge, wondering where things
were going and how the story would end.

has captured the essence of true love. Two people who are meant only
for each other, and who manage to be apart are a painful pair indeed,
and Kristian is at the mercy of his pain and loss. Rating: 5 out of 5 HEARTSRead More at The Romance StudioApathy by Scarlet Blackwell
is a very short novella at only twenty five pages, but it is packed
with such intense emotions. This book shows us that we can’t help who we fall in love with, and sometimes, you just have to let yourself love, and not care what others think.
Rating: 41/2 Delightful Divas
Read More at Dark Divas ReviewsThis is a story about stubborn foolish misplaced reactions. There’s
more than a large helping of loss. But dessert comes in the form of
second chances.
Rating: 41/2 starsRead more at Rainbow ReviewsAt moments, my indecision and failed attempts at love reminded me so much of Kristian I thought Ms. Blackwell wrote this story about me.

Reviews of STAND AND DELIVER
The main characters
are very vivid and well written. With one being the dark broken
spirited hero, that needs love to heal him. Another is the lonely man
who has given up on happiness long ago. Their quest to heal their
wounds and maybe find love while doing it, makes you keep reading.

Reviews of LIFE CLASS
I enjoy the way Scarlet Blackwell writes a book. This is the second one
I have picked up and both books have had compelling and complicated
characters that rang true. I can feel her characters and get
emotionally attached to them. They aren’t perfect. They don’t make the
right decisions all the time. In this book Ryan, a straight painter’s
model/gigolo struggles so hard to understand himself without really
trying to understand himself. I know so many men and boys that try to
shortcut their emotions like this.Rating: 4 out of 5 starsRead More at Rainbow ReviewsI
I closed LIFE CLASS with a sense of satisfaction and the slight
disappointment that it was over. That hasn’t happened to me in a long
time.Rating: 41/2 out of 5 clovers (RECOMMENDED READ FOR APRIL)

Reviews of JUST DESSERTS
This is one of the funniest romances I’ve read in a long time. The
characters have a sharp, naughty wit that they use like master
warriors.
