About me: Gwyneth Bolton was born and raised in Paterson, New Jersey. She currently lives in Syracuse, New York with her husband Cedric. When she was 12-years-old, she became an avid reader of romance by sneaking her mother's stash of Harlequin and Silhouette novels. In the 90s, she was introduced to African American and multicultural romance novels and her life hasn't been the same since. While she had always been a reader of romance, she didn't feel inspired to write them until the genre opened up to include other voices. And even then, it took finishing graduate school, several non-fiction publications, and a six-week course at the Loft Literary Center titled Writing the Romance Novel; before she gathered the courage to start writing her first romance novel. She has a BA and an MA in English/Creative Writing and a Ph.D. in English/Composition and Rhetoric. She teaches classes in writing and women's studies at the college level. She has won several awards for her romance novels, including five Emma Awards and the Romance In Color Reviewer's Choice award for new author of the year. When she is not teaching or working on her own African American romance novels, she is curled up with a cup of herbal tea, a warm quilt, and a good book.

Woohoo!! You're a Toni. Damn girl you could shop all day long and still not be tired! Sometimes you go for the guys that can offer you things instead of going for the guys that you really care about and offer their heart out most to you. Nevertheless, you're still a great friend and would do anything for your girlfriends. You go girl!!

Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet folks in the publishing industry, writers, readers, industry professionals. I'd like to meet members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.
I bought the book as a secure ebook and my application for Abode secure is not downloading. Aaaaahh well off to the shops I go,that is what I get for being too lazy.
Sometimes in life, we just need someone who believes that we can. And more importantly, we must have the guts to believe we can. Yes, We sometimes get knocked down by our circumstances and situations, people run off and the thing that we want does not give the impression to want us. But it is in those times when all hope is gone that our understanding must raise its beautiful head. We can make it. It may not be easy, fast or rational but in the blink of an eye or a snap of our fingers, things can turn around.

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Thanks Gwyneth! You are really amazing. I love talking to authors for inspiration and so far you and A.C Arthur have given me greta advice. I admire you women even more. I can't thank you enough. SO...THANKS!!...again.
Are you kidding?! You are one of my favorite authors. I love you, A.C Arthur and Brenda Jackson!! My top 3!! Thankyou so much Gwyneth!! I will definitely look for it in 2011....for sure. I can't get enough of the Hightower clan. They are amazing. I alreayd sent my query letter for a book I finished to Kimani Romance about 3 weeks ago. I am waiting for them to hopefully request my manuscript. Being a romance author is a part of my dream. And I have a gut feeling that it is gonna come true. But you inspire me so much!!...Thankyou again.
Hey! Kai here. Hopefully a future Delta and ROmance Novelist. I absolutely loved Sizzling Seduction. Patrick Hightower is officially my favorite Hightower, although I love all of those Hightower men. The book was amazing, I read it in like almost 4 hours...congrats. Also, are you gonna write a story for Terrel and Maritza?! I am dying to see how their romance plays out!!!
Gwyneth you are unbelievable..."SIZZLING SEDUCTION" was the icing on a three layer velvet cake.(LOL) You definitely saved the best for last in the Hightower series. Aisha and Patrick was a perfect match. Can you believe I read the entire book in one setting?(5 1/2hrs) Thank you so much...job well done. I can't wait for your next series of handsome men.
I will definitely let you know about Patrick's story. I am desperate to get my hands on it so I can read it. I love those Hightower men. I will let you know everything. You are the best. =D
I loved all 3 of your Hightower books. Those brothers are amazing. I can't wait to read Patrick's story. P.S- I wanna pledge Delta Sigma Theta! Go red and white. And I also lvoe your books and I am an aspiring author. You inspire me! =D

I've been waiting for the one for what seems like forever! My copy is on it's way. I know I'm going to LOVE it just as I loved the others. Keep the romance flowing! Sylvia Holloman
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Just finished Sizzling Seduction....and what can I say.....IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!!! And Aunt Sophie's secret, all I can say is I was floored! The book was awesome!
Well Soror Gwyneth...you gave the finale book of the Hightower Series a great going out party! Truly enjoyed Patrick going after his woman Aisha with a fierce determination. I liked the interchange he had with his brothers to assist his call for help! But the icing on the cake was that Aunt Sophie and revealing her secrets! All in all, even though there are no more Hightower brothers I sure hope we get a book with Terrell and Maritza whose Penny and Jason's friends.
OMG I JUST FINISHED SIZZLING SEDUCTION GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I GOT IT TODAY AND FINISHED IT TODAY. IT WAS FIRE SOOO SOO GOOD.. WHO KNEW THAT ABOUT SPHOIE LADY CRAZY BEANS LOL... JUST LOVE THIS SERIES AM GOING TO MISS THEM FEEL LIKE THEY ARE FAMILY.. YOU DID YOUR THANG ON THIS BOOK. LOVED KEEP EM COMING MISS LADY U ARE SO BLESSED.. SHARON
Putting on my reader hat for a moment. I had to stop by and tell you "YES, Sizzling Seduction was well worth the wait!!!!" Gotta love a man who can learn from the actions of his brothers, recognize what he wants, and go after it with a persistence no can resist. Oh and don't let me forget that he can "Protect and Serve" the one he loves.
