Kimberly Gardner

I received a terrific review from Regina at CTR this week. WooHoo!

She says in part,

“Phoenix Rising is a positively heart wrenching love story. There are places that make your gut clench. I admit there were parts that were so emotional I had tears in my eyes, and I had to actually stop reading for a bit and then come back to it. Ms. Gardner is a master storyteller who has the ability to actually make the reader feel the emotions the characters are going through. It is never just sex with these two and she makes that abundantly clear from the beginning. The sex, when it does happen, is blistering hot and deeply emotional which is my favorite kind of romance read. This is one book you do not want to miss, and should grace every romance reader’s library.”

I got a terrific review from Rainbow Reviews today. It says in part,

“The author has written some of the best sex scenes I have ever read. They are full of heat without being pornographic or cliched.”

I wanted to share this good review Phoenix got from the Literary Nymphs. The story got four nymphs! WooHoo!

“Kimberly Gardner has produced a story with all the elements of an emotional rollercoaster, the joy of being together and the heartache of separation. This is a most impressive tale that I enjoyed.”

The lovely and talented Elisa Rolle has reviewed Phoenix Rising. She says in part,

“Young friendly gay guy, talented but poor, meets older closeted gay man, wealthy and gentle. Is another Cinderfella’s story? Not quite, since our two heroes will not leave happily ever after when the clock strikes the midnight, they need to suffer a bit before.”
