The Awakening of Ivy Leavold (Markham Hall Book 1)

“While I don’t normally read historical, The Awakening of Ivy Leavold has been one of the best alpha billionaire books I’ve come across to date. With fluid language and gorgeous imagery, the story is fraught with tension, and the level of sensuality that Simone brings to this time period takes a very talented writer. While the characters and mood are reminiscent of Jane Eyre, the sexual situations bring to mind Anne Rice’s Claiming of Sleeping Beauty. I’m anxiously waiting to see what’s next from this debut author.”  — NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author Laurelin Paige

“Sierra Simone twists an intriguing mystery inside a white hot love story. Bravo! This contemporary girl is now hooked on historical romance!“ —USA Today Bestselling author CD Reiss

“If you’re thinking “Historical?”…Don’t. Good stories and writing are timeless,and if you’re nervous about that, this reads almost like a contemporary…She made a historical romance read like a very modern book.  The sexy hotness, well…OFF THE CHARTS!! Raw, controlling, animalistic, tabbooish. Leaves you breathless.” — Dirty Laundry Review

“I love that Sierra Simone gave us delicious sex and an intriguing plot; both kept me wanting more.  Her writing is flawless, every word a tease that left me begging for more.  5 Stars!”  — The Literary Gossip
