USA Today bestselling author Jennifer L. Hart

"Daisy is a responsible, no-nonsense accountant by day who transforms into the mysterious and most-sought-after dominatrix, Catwoman, three nights a week. She revels in the power and the control, but doesn't have any idea how to draw that confidence into her daily life. In an odd coincidence, she is hot for Duran Price, a client both at her accounting firm as well as the dungeon where she works. She wrangles his receipts and expenses at work and dominates and seduces him at Madame Minerva's. As her two worlds collide, a lot of secrets spill out, and not all of them are easy to stomach. Daisy and Duran are both very flawed, but that is exactly why they are so appealing. The chemistry is sizzling, the sex steamy, and the BDSM erotic. Both Duran's reluctance to relinquish control and Daisy craving some power make sense in context. The family issues and dramas are over the top, but the scenes with BDSM are respectful and offer an intriguing glimpse into a wo...

Scott and I have been re watching episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation , one of my all time favorite series. I grew up on this show and sitting through a few episodes is a very comforting way to unwind for me. In one of the latest episodes, Guinan, played by Whoopi Goldberg. dispatched a snippet of her brilliant bartender wisdom to Geordie who was sulking about a relationship that wasn't goingthe way he wanted. "She did the worst thing a one human being can do to another; she didn't live up to your expectations." And Geordie being Georgie, sat back and you could almost see the wheels start turning. If there was a little thought bubble over his head it would have read oops, my bad. It's not her, it's me. Oh to be those well adjusted self-actualized people of the UFP. I've been thinking about this quiet a bit lately, especially how it relates to books, writers and readers. As a reader, I know what it's like to pick up a book, look forward to a terr...

And believe me, it's a huge sigh of relief! Mary Gramlich, the Reading Reviewer, is the first back with the verdict on Stellar. " Creating paranormal universes and characters that are detailed but not complicated is a very tight rope to write. Jennifer Hart shows she has the mettle to write it, get you to read it and absolutely love it. This story takes you to a place that you believe exists and worth fighting for to keep with characters that win you over with a sense of humor and kick in the pants spunk. Bravo!" You can read her entire review HERE. This is a big turnaround from the last time I self-published one of my books. No matter how much I believe in a story, I can never take my own opinion to the bank. And I know Mary isn't a big science fiction reader, which makes the victory that much sweeter! Because that's my aim, to entertain both die hard sci-fi fans and romance readers alike. And putting out a quality product always makes me happy.

"Redeeming Characters by Jennifer L. Hart is a book I simply could not put down. I finished it in a matter of two days! The premise of the book was unconventional and unique but as the story progressed everything made sense. Normally, I would quibble over the length of a book however I felt that every page was necessary. I finished the story well satisfied. The mutual friendship and love between the two characters was incredibly realistic. I loved the building of trust considering that both characters carried severe baggage caused by painful betrayals. What made this such a lovely story was that these characters needed each other – it wasn’t just about what they both wanted. Dakota had been searching for her soulmate for such a long time and Drue was looking for a family and a place to belong. Together these two complete each other’s dreams. If you love realistic characters with snarky attitudes and beautifully detailed scenery then this story is for you. Kudos to Ms...

"Jennifer L. Hart gives readers a contemporary love story constructed by two achingly real main characters. I personally love Drue's snide comments as I have a fondness for men who are sarcastically witty and I love the fact that Dakota can definitely hold her own and even dish back some superb one-liners. Watching Drue discover aspects of his own personality, while helping Dakota and her family, was very rewarding and enjoyable for me. He reminds us that you need to look beyond appearances and get to the heart of someone before you can truly understand or judge them. The setting adds to the reader's understanding of the characters and the subtlety of it is well done. I usually enjoy my romances a little more on the fairy tale side of things but I was definitely entertained by this realistic love story, instead of glossing over the fact that we all come with baggage, it focuses on the fact that it can be overcome, that we all can have love and happiness. I am ...

J.R. Ward, one of my all time favorite authors, wrote that one of the rules in becoming a successful writer (never mind a decent human being) is to own your own shit.On that note, I thought I would share with my very first review, ever. This was from my self published novel Jackson Corners , in 2006. Isabella Roberts is looking for a change. After a messy divorce to an anal-retentive husband, she bundles her two-year-old daughter out of the city and purchases a house in sleepy Jackson Corners. There she meets handsome, brooding Noah Davis, and learns that while her new home may come with neighbourly assistance and friendly faces, it also a lugs around a swathe of emotional baggage. There’s one rule of thumb for writing a decent mystery: Plot Is Everything. Jennifer L Hart knows her plot and ought to be commended for her firm handling of it. Jackson Corners is fed to the reader with the utmost care and not a piece of information comes too soon. Every character is suspect; every actio...

Come closer, I need to tell you something... I don't like labels. Or boxes, or molds. Sure they work fine at the local UPS store and there is always room for Jell-O but not for people and art. Writing is art. It's creation, making something outta nothing. My art is about people, no matter how it is labeled. There are elements of romance, interspersed with comic relief, physiological edges that one could cut one's own head off with and overlying it all, the human equation. In strong>Stellar Timing , I take it further still. Sci-Fi / Fantasy with futuristic romance and I'm not sure I'm done world building yet. Who knows what's coming around the next corner? All the pros tell us that newbie writers should pick a genre and stick with it. Or if you really want to do more than one genre, use a pen name for each one. The reason for this is to develop an author brand, name recognition that will tell the reader what they are in for, almost like a promise between autho...
