What they're saying about Cruel To Be Kind:

"Cruel To Be Kind is a well-written book that pulls the reader in from the
first page. The characters are fully developed, likable, and memorable.
In addition, the sex scenes are plentiful, and they are hot, hot, hot."

Susan Park
Rites of Romance Reviews

"Ms. Vaughan understands not only the sexual side of dominance and
submission, but also the psychological side. The exploration of Steve’s
thoughts as he submits to Megan is fascinating."

Maya

"Cruel To Be Kind by Stephanie Vaughan definitely does not disappoint.
Whoo, son, the female in this book is the true alpha and the male, while
not a complete sissy, is thoroughly conquered by her. And boy, are the
results ever so hot."

Grade: B+

"It's Not Chick Porn!"

"WOW! Stephanie Vaughan's second story about an Eriksson brother is
incredibly HOT ... Ms. Vaughan captures feelings with whispers. The
book has a BDSM theme but it is really more about BD than SM. I highly
suggest this for a sensual read.'

Just Erotic Romance Reviews

"... explores the issue of trust and wise practices of those in the
lifestyle. She draws the sexual tennis match between them, not only the
back and forth external exchanges, but even more so, she delves into
their psyches to reveal their inner feelings, actions, reactions, and
motivations with great sensitivity.
...I would surely recommend this to anyone interested in the BDSM
genre, or for anyone who thinks they might be interested in exploring
the power exchange."

Fallen Angel Reviews

"Cruel To Be Kind is a gorgeous BDSM love story, exploring the emotions
that link a Domme and her sub. Stephanie Vaughan has created a
stunning piece that shows what erotica should be -- a story that
happens to have sex as its subject, rather than being a string of sex
scenes. I'll be recommending this to one or two friends I know will
appreciate it."

"Stephanie Vaughan introduced readers to Steve Eriksson in Dead Man's
Party, and he screamed for his own story. She has delivered for readers
with Cruel To Be Kind by giving him a heroine and plot that is creative
and enjoyable. The chemistry between Steve and Megan is obvious from
the start and their interaction -- both in and out of bed -- will keep
readers riveted. With hot action and an enjoyable plot, don't miss the
wonderfully fun Cruel To Be Kind."

"Sierra Secrets 2: Cruel To Be Kind is a keeper!...Sometimes a little
tie-me-up is just what you need. . ."

Natalie,
Enchanted In Romance

"A wonderfully written BDSM love story, Cruel to be Kind captures the
feelings of insecurity, hope and love between an established Domme and
a submissive who's never known what it is he needs ... Erotic, intriguing,
passionate and unforgettable, Cruel to be Kind is a must read."

Ayden Delacroix,
In The Library Reviews

"This is a touching story, rich in emotions ... with steamy scenes and
witty banter."
