Call Me Miz
…Thomas and Miz have instant chemistry that intensifies with a massage and an explosive foreplay session that has you gasping for air. The sex is hot, raunchy, animalistic and works…I wanted more.
Ms. Sivad beautifully explores the growing love between Miz and Thomas while giving the reader enough action and suspense to keep the pages turning.
I absolutely love the ending of this book. It is…unique…Gem Sivad provides the reader an adventure with action on every page. Call Me Miz is entertaining and well worth the read.
Miz Spelled

Pinch of Naughty
5 Lips and a Recommended Read …This is the kind of book which you start and you can’t stop reading until you’re done with it and then you want to read it all over again—it’s that good.
4 Paws Gem Sivad is one of the queens of “naughty” historicals. The banter between Cyrus and Eleanor in this book is so much fun… and the heat they produce is scorching… I hope that Eleanor’s sisters get their own books.
4.5 Stars …lovely romance, with characters… that will stay with you long after you finish the book. Their lovemaking… is delightful and oh so hot, contributing to a marvelous story I recommend.
A Staged Affair
5 Pearls I found Ms. Sivad’s rendering—of the time period, the setting, the characters, everything that makes King and Anna butt heads—all very interesting, very well, well-done—and very hot…I’m sure you’ll enjoy the (ahem) show.
Thumbs Up! Oh my but King was opinionated and ultimately male. I wanted to bonk him on the back of his head and admonish him to behave. But then, had he behaved, I don’t think I could have loved this bad boy as much…
4 Stars …intense sexual chemistry between King and Anna…The sex is very hot and steamy with enough passion between them to keep it spicy…For a quick read that takes you back in time A Staged Affair is for you.
