“I loved, loved Slow Surrender and am waiting on pins and needles for book two, Slow Seduction to come out.” Yay! So says Sandiebuck over at Night Owl Reviews, who not only gave Slow Surrender 5 stars, she made it a Reviewer Top Pick!
“This was another brilliant outing from Cecilia Tan,” she writes. “As usual, her characters are full of life and emotion, and so believable. Definitely a keeper!!!”

Oh my. Sara Winters, an erotica & erotic romance writer, reviewed Magic U at her blog. And loved it! That high pitched sound you hear is the squee of OMGthereviewergetsit!
Excerpt: “What I find most refreshing about this book and its characters is that we as readers are immediately aware of a correlation between a popular series of children’s books, but it never feels as if this is merely an adult Harry Potter with sex.

Woo! Another review just came in! Bitten by Books just reviewed both book one and book two from the Magic U. series! Book one got 4.5 “tombstones” (like 4.5 “stars”) and book two got five tombstones!
The full review of book 1 is here: http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=25048
Excerpt; “Ms. Tan will tell you that she’s inspired by several of her favorite authors and that inspiration from the Harry Potter series figures prominently in this sequence of books, but it’s definitely not for children.”
The reviewer did think that Frost was much like Draco, if Draco were openly gay. Also:
“This freshman novel to the Magic University series is very well written and, although promoted as an erotica, it’s more erotic-light as this tale is considerably deeper than your average erotic novel and the intimacy doesn’t consume the whole story… I will say that there are hints that the relative tameness of this story will change in the next book and I can’t wait; I’m reading it as soon as I finish this review!”
The same reviewer then went on to review book 2, and her suspicions were of course, borne out deliciously.
Excerpt: “When reviewing the first book of this series, I had a strong suspicion that this story would be more…more story, more erotic, more magic…and it was. This tale explores explicit ménage sexual situations. There are several scenes with three or more either actively participating or watching for the purposes of a magical test or spell and it is simply, hotly, erotic. Enjoy but have the hubby or boyfriend close by…”

The Tower and the Tears (Magic University, Book 2) got four cups of coffee from Coffee Time Romance!
“The Tower and The Tears is an erotic cross between Harry Potter and porn. I enjoyed the storyline and got caught up in the characters. This story will entice the reader to not only go back and read the first one but to make sure they pick up the next book in the series.”
There are spoilers in the review, so I won’t quote any more, but if you want to know, here’s a link to the review: http://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookReviews/thetowerandthetears.html
(OK, and every review so far has had some major error in it… this one confuses Yale and Harvard, but that’s OK. People get Saturn and Jupiter mixed up, too.)

Book Wenches reviewed Magic University, Book One: The Siren and the Sword and loved it! 4.5 stars!
Some choice quotes:
“I went into this book not knowing what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. Initially it put me in a Harry Potter frame of mind . . . until the sex started.”
“The characters are interesting with a depth that makes them memorable. I enjoyed the secondary characters almost as much as the main characters.”
“Ms. Tan has done an outstanding job of feeding my Harry Potter obsession in a very adult fashion.”
The reviewer also thought my magic was innovative and liked the storyline. Bwaaaa! *runs around the office like a maniac*
You know, reviews of my literary books never made me half this gleeful…
