Hearts on Fire
is a richly detailed book. All the secondary characters get their moments of glory as well. There are multiple relationships and secondary storylines running throughout this book. All the storylines are skillfully intertwined, with plenty of emotion running through them all. Romantic and filled with emotion.
Hearts on Fire
is an ideal book for a cold autumn night, tucked up next to the fire.”

Just Erotic Romance Reviews


Hearts on Fire
is a passionate, well written novella. The conversations between two of the main characters, Brianna and Chandler, are thought provoking and inspiring. The close ties depicted by Brianna's family shows how most adversities can be dealt with providing they hold maturity, love and understanding within. All in all,
Hearts on Fire
, is a gorgeous tale that will warm you from head to toe and, most possibly, will drive you to distraction.”

Carrie White

One Reviewer

“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.”

Angie

Love Romances

“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.”

TORRID TEASERS VOLUME 53: CHRISTMAS DREAMS & THE FIX-IT MAN


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.”

“Next!” Stefani called. She watched the tall, handsome, muscular, dark haired man make his way to her counter. His walk was more of a swagger and he did it well. Her eyes moved behind him to the line of customers waiting their turn. She noticed the women's eyes were glued to his backside with every step he took. She made a mental note to look when he left the counter.

He was a stranger in town. Garden Grove was a small close-knit community with less than three thousand people. And since Stefani worked at the post office, she became familiar with any new inhabitants who came in to set up mail delivery.

He smiled broadly. “I need a post office box.”

Stefani became lost in his dazzling, penetrating, dark eyes. He had wide shoulders with muscular biceps bulging from the brown pullover he wore. The sleeves were pushed up exposing long strong arms. He wore a pair of black jeans that looked tailor made for him. The brown cowboy boots adorning his feet looked expensive.

“Ma'am?”

Stefani's face reddened as she realized she'd been staring at him. She quickly composed herself as she pulled a form from a drawer under the counter and handed it to him. “If you'll fill this out over there,” she pointed to a long counter in the back of the small post office,” then bring it back to me.” She smiled hoping the curve of her lips didn't make her look like a drooling idiot.

She watched him swagger over to the counter she'd pointed out and knew why the women in line had ogled his ass. It
was
nice. She couldn't take her eyes off him…well, his ass. He propped an elbow on the counter, grabbed the pen hooked to a chain, and began printing the required information.

“Stefani, do you need help with something?”

Stefani realized she was ignoring the line of patrons. She pried her eyes away from the stranger and turned her head toward her co-worker, Kathie Tollinger, who worked at the counter next to Stefani's. “No. Thank you.” She quickly composed herself and motioned for the next in line.

Stefani smiled pleasantly as she waited on the next two customers. Her eyes, every few seconds, glanced sideways at the gorgeous man filling out the form. All sorts of questions ran through her mind. Why had he come to Garden Grove? Most people had never even heard of the small town. In fact, it didn't even show up on a map. She'd never once thought about moving away from Garden Grove. She loved it here.

Unfortunately, many had left after the closure of Ware Factory, which had employed the majority of the populace of Garden Grove. Job prospects were dismal and Stefani thanked her lucky stars for her job at the post office. Without it, she, too, may have been forced to leave the town she adored.

Garden Grove might not have the allure of big cities, but Stefani couldn't imagine living anywhere else, even with the loss of the once thriving businesses. She loved the wide-open spaces where she could wander through the parks and woods with grass under her feet. She loved her close-knit community even though everyone knew everyone else's business. Still, if anyone had a catastrophe befall them, the whole town would turn out to help in any way they could. There was no place on earth she'd rather be.

This good-looking stranger would certainly have tongues wagging. By tonight, the whole town would be buzzing about why this gorgeous specimen had come to Garden Grove. The single women would be scurrying around trying to find out if he was married, where he was staying, and then devise ways to run into him. Stefani smiled smugly. She'd learn his address just as soon as he brought those trim hips back to her counter and handed her the completed form. Of course, that information was strictly confidential, but she'd at least have the inside scoop on his address. She again glanced dreamily in his direction. No man had ever stirred such an emotion in her.

“Stefani…Stefani!”

Stefani blinked and then quickly collected herself. She realized she'd been ignoring another customer. She had to keep herself in check. Enough with letting this man seize her emotions. She offered the elderly woman a feeble smile. “I'm sorry, Mrs. Norton. I don't know where my mind is today.”

“Well, it certainly isn't on your work,” Mrs. Norton retorted. “I need a stamp.” She lightly patted the side of her perfectly coiffed silver hair. “I'm in a bit of a hurry. I have several errands to run this afternoon before my lessons.”

Stefani pulled open a drawer. “Here you go.” She handed the stamp to the woman and watched her as she examined it and then attached the stamp to the envelope. “Will there be anything else?”

“Let me think.” The woman's eyes narrowed as she pulled on her chin.

Stefani impatiently tapped her foot as she waited for Mrs. Norton to decide.
So much for being in a hurry
, she thought. She'd known Mrs. Norton her entire life. The elderly woman had taught music classes at the local elementary school. Since retiring several years ago, she now spent most of her time giving piano lessons.

Stefani glanced at Kathie, who was handing a receipt to a customer. No one else was currently in line. The Garden Grove Post Office only employed two clerks at the counter during the week and one on Saturdays. When it was slow, which was frequently, they took turns helping the other three employees who sorted mail in the back. Stefani hoped the handsome stranger wouldn't finish the form and go to Kathie's counter since Mrs. Norton was still standing in front of Stefani's counter. She had told him to return it to her, but if she was busy he'd most likely assume that Kathy could take care of it.
