May 8, 2010 The June issue of Romantic Times Book Reviews gives HELL'S WARRIOR 4 Stars! Here's what reviewer Karen Sweeny-Justice says:

"Roycraft has created a Chicago that's fantastical and scary, yet eerily similar to the real Windy City. Her vampires struggle to live peacefully with humanity, but face prejudice and violence. While the story is contemporary, Roycraft cleverly uses every other chapter to tell the historical tale of how Cade came to be."

March 1, 2007: Whipped Cream gives DANCE WITH ME, MY LOVELY a "4 Cherries" review! Whipped Cream is a sister site of Long and Short of It Reviews and reviews romances with erotic elements. "I have never read anything with a Shaman in it and reading the descriptive passages of how a Shaman’s journey actually works was very intriguing, especially when a vampire is involved. And then to add the intense sex scene at the end of that first journey made it all the more exciting." To visit Whipped Cream and read the entire review, click HERE.

December 31, 2007: Crystal Adkins has reviewed both DANCE WITH ME, MY LOVELY and HALF PAST HELL and has given both books a "5 Hearts" review. To read the reviews, please visit Book Reviews by Crystal and scroll down to the December 21 and December 15 entries.

November 20, 2007: The RT review is in for DANCE WITH ME, MY LOVELY!
4 1/2 stars! "Roycraft turns up the heat in this steamy vampire romance. Her heroine is appealing, and the multilayered hero is sex personified. Their chemistry ignites fireworks as their trust is tested to the limits in this exciting story of two lost souls. The well-written prose and vivid descriptions bring scenes alive, and the escalating suspense will have readers devouring this story in one sitting." ~Gail Pruszkowski for Romantic Times BOOKreviews

November 9, 2007: I'm pleased to announce that Midwest Book Review's online review magazine MBR Bookwatch included a review of DANCE WITH ME, MY LOVELY in their October issue. You can view this issue HERE. Here's part of the review: "Jaye Roycraft is one of the best paranormal romance authors writing today. She slowly builds up the relationship and that of each others powers to make the reader feel as if they are part of that unseen world. This is a sizzling fantastic vampire romance but the lovemaking is necessary to the storyline. Cate is Garran's equal in power which is one of the reasons this novella is bloody delicious."

September 22, 2007: Enchanting Reviews has posted a brand new Jaye Roycraft interview! You can read it HERE.

September 8, 2007: DANCE WITH ME, MY LOVELY is now available for shipping! You can order the book in print and electronic versions from ImaJinn Books for a limited time discounted price. The book will be available from Amazon, Fictionwise, and other outlets soon.

August 16, 2007: Check out this brand new review on DANCE WITH ME, MY LOVELY from Romance at Heart. Here's part of what Rose has to say:

"Jaye Roycraft. The name invokes dark promise for those who dream in paranormal romance. Let me tell you right here and now, this book caught me totally off guard. The tale is sweeping in its complexity, the characters rich, and the movement dark and sensual, but it brought to the fore a feeling of humanity not usually found in many of the “vampire books” of the genre...

The Danseur and the Shaman…they balance. Dance With Me, My Lovely is set in the background of the dance, where Jaye Roycraft spins a story of a growing internal tension, love lost, insecurity, and new hope. The usual vampire myths are shattered, bringing the reader a new insight into the way Ms Roycraft chooses her characters and their traits...In Dance With Me, My Lovely, the balance is held, expanded, and joined in a way that brings the reader not only satisfaction, but also a sigh of relief. I found myself rooting for Cate and Garran through the flashbacks, and their individual trials while they worked their way toward each other. This one is available August 30th, 2007 from ImaJinn books, and I really do find myself in a position to highly recommend Dance With Me, My Lovely to those who want a deeply moving romance of the heart."

August 2, 2007: The first review for DANCE WITH ME, MY LOVELY is already in! Here's what Tammi of NIGHT OWL ROMANCE had to say: "Dance With Me, My Lovely captured my attention from page one. It gripped me and took me for a wild ride. The scenes were descriptive and tantalizing the hero strong and powerful. The heroine was quirky and fun and had me rooting for her the whole time. Both the hero Garren Lux and the heroine Cate were engaging and well flushed out and I loved how Cate was a shaman. I would recommend Dance With Me, My Lovely to any paranormal fan and I just know they will put it on their favorite's list."
