In the Press
[The Woman from the Waves] is a book that got under my skin and left me flailing for a few days after I finished it… [It] gave my brain a lot to chew on and I’m going to need to read it at least a few more times to pull apart all the nuances, because there is just so much there. Even though it’s much longer than most books I read, topping out at around 560 pages, I could have read more, because I loved Madeleine and Hæra so much, from who they were at the beginning to who they are at the end.
Jules and Vivian [in the Carlisle Series] are my all-time top couple in romance. […] The negotiations [they] do around their relationship are delicious. Jules and Vivian want to do everything for each other! Vivian wants to wield her power on Jules’ behalf to get her publishing opportunities, whereas Jules wants to prove herself by building her own career without Vivian smoothing the way; Jules enjoys being involved in every aspect of Vivian’s life as her employee and girlfriend, where Vivian is uncertain about it… I’ve joked that the relationship hinges on their mutual obsession, but is it a joke if it’s true? My point is that they both do so much work on the page to negotiate and renegotiate, to show love without overstepping, and it’s incredibly satisfying to read.
The writing is spectacular, the characters are memorable and interesting, and there’s so much passion between Jules and Vivian that you will lose sleep because you won’t want to put either book down. Also, make sure to buy both at the same time, because you will want to dive immediately into the second part as soon as you finish the first. […] [Truth and Measure and Above All Things are] my ultimate comfort read and I’m already looking forward to revisiting them again and again, for many years to come.
I went into this with high expectations, and they have been exceeded. …Truth and Measure is an incredibly satisfying romance with brilliantly drawn characters. Vivian particularly is great; Sinclair does a beautiful job of showing all of her different facets, from the terrifying and spiteful goddess, to the competent and ruthless editor, to the magnetic mentor, to the very vulnerable woman who only has one (1) person she trusts. Jules, Vivian’s assistant, is relentlessly charming – she’s believable in her reactions and attitudes, and she is absolutely earnest and competent, which I adore. And the chemistry between them is excellent.
Very few can write ice queen romances as well as Sinclair. She makes her queens jump off the page.
The writing [in The X Ingredient] is tight and Roslyn Sinclair’s storytelling was excellent and just kept me turning the page, excited to see where the story would go next. […] Talk about off the charts . . . this book was out of the stratosphere with its level of hotness.
[The Lily and the Crown’s] plotting and pacing are excellent, the character work is thoughtful and done well, and holy hell are the sex scenes hot. Roslyn Sinclair’s first published lesfic is a home run for me, and I can’t wait to read more from her in the future!
Fantasy and reality collide perfectly in If You Want Me...This is a must-read.
