Broken Promises: A New Beginning

"BROKEN PROMISES has much to offer, some of it very painful to read. Ms. Droney's style and intensity have a bright glow of promise that will glow only brighter in future books." Recommended! ~Under the Covers Book Reviews

"A touching and profound look at spousal abuse and its aftermath. Truly remarkable and painful, this story goes straight to the heart. A must read. This is not an easy story to read, but it is one that everyone should read. With a deft hand, Susan K. Droney takes a distressing subject and turns it around into something quite positive. Once started, BROKEN PROMISES: A NEW BEGINNING is impossible to put down. A phenomenal tale by a truly outstanding author!" Romance Communications

"Ms. Droney writes of abuse and victimization with passion and a seeming understanding. While it contains romantic elements, BROKEN PROMISES is a mainstream story, a story of healing and hard-won wisdom." 4 Stars! ~ Affaire de Coeur, February 1999

"Susan K. Droney seems to have an insight into abuse and victimization. The heroine's progression from victim to victor is painful and long in coming, but she finally triumphs. "

Hearts on Fire, is a heart warming and charming tale of four women who have loved, lost and found themselves in a place to love again.

Susan K. Droney is a fabulous writer with a lot of talent for bringing out her characters and painting their emotions with words. Her writing flows smoothly; the plot twists and turns without losing focus on what is really at stake for Brianna and her friends, as well as her aunt. This reviewer highly recommends this contemporary story. It has all the elements of great romance: sexual heat, love, as well as drama. Although classed as erotic, HEARTS ON FIRE is sex with not only plot, but class. The sexual scenes are well plotted and while they are HOT, they are also dramatic and thought provoking.

Accepting the faults of your close friends is easy-the hard part is coming to terms with your own. Hearts on Fire provides a very true to life picture of the interaction of many women. The situations that they find themselves in can happen. Mingled through these difficult life lessons is quite a charming romance. When the women finally learn to accept their lives as they are, not as they believe them to be, some very positive changes occur. Be prepared for some spicy sex scenes. Quite an enjoyable and insightful afternoon read.

The Stalker

4 1/2 flames Rare Find

The Stalker is a crafty thriller that takes the reader into the mind of a mentally unstable madman and the effect his actions have on the people who are unfortunate enough to be in his life. The plot will draw you in and hold you; it will scare you and make you think who might be watching you as you wait and watch for Jeremy Talbot's next move. Nicely done.

Sandy McCann, Reviewer

It can surprise and shock you when reality is put into perspective. Reading about the thought processes of a man that doesn't quite fit in with modern society, really drives it home how much our safety can be at risk. Based on true fact or just fiction, The Stalker highlights a growing trend in stalking crimes. With skill and precision, Susan K. Droney takes us through the disturbing existence of Jeremy Talbot, stopping frequently on the way to fill us in with the lives of those who are unfortunate to associate with him. The Stalker is a gripping read. With every page delivering tension and intrigue, you can't go wrong.

Torrid Teasers 53

TORRID TEASERS 53: CHRISTMAS DREAMS & THE FIX-IT MAN consists of two short stories about unique couples who find love in the last place they expected. Susan K. Droney presents each story so that readers care about the characters and can easily empathize with their situations.


I genuinely enjoyed the good natured friendship by all the characters in this tale. Morgan and Davis's friendship is apparent right from the start and they seem to genuinely enjoy just being together. Because they've been such good friends for so long they've missed the connection and never made the leap from friends to lovers. CHRISTMAS DREAMS is a fun tale with emotional angst and plenty of Christmas spirit to give hope to hopeless romantics everywhere.


THE FIX-IT MAN What a fun tale! Madison's friends Gwen and Lucy really liven things up with their ongoing discussions about Lucy's sex life and their butting into Madison's lack of one. I loved how the friends interact amongst each other but especially enjoy how they support each other.
