Here's the first review on my July 2007 release from publisher Whiskey Creek Press/Torrid, WHEN LIGHTNING STRIKES, Cajun Erotica Book 3.
Cheri Valmont writes of a strong dominant male and although her female character is a submissive, she is clearly an independent and strong willed person. This was a well-built plot of a man finding his woman and willing to do whatever was necessary to protect her and keep her safe. When Lightning Strikes has wonderful characters that you empathize with, her secondary characters were brilliant, and I would love to see some of them get their own story. Lucas has some yummy brothers.

Here's a snippet from an awesome 5 BLUE RIBBON review I received from Chrissy at Romance Junkies:
Cheri Valmont has a hit with the whole CAJUN EROTICA series. The stories are fast paced, full of sexual tension and contain a suspenseful element that will keep readers riveted to the pages. I loved how comfortable Jessie is with her submissiveness and Lucas's discomfort over his natural inclination to be dominant. I love how Ms. Valmont includes the other family members throughout her storylines and can't help but be a little envious of their closeness. This is a wonderful story and a fabulous series and I hope to read about more of the family soon - maybe a story for Luke's sister Carrie and Jessie's brother Tanner. There were definitely sparks flying between those two.

Two centuries, many owners, and the question has been asked . . . is it blessed, or cursed?
There is a certain house in New Orleans at 413 Remembrance Lane. Within the walls lives end and begin, myths and superstition blend with reality, erotic fantasies are realized, and always love has held the upper hand.
It is the house, steeped in history and the emotions of those who have lived there? Or perhaps the legend goes a little deeper.
Visit and find out for yourself . . .
413 Remembrance Lane: Diary of a House is a collaboration effort by various authors and was released by Phaze Publishing on August 2007 in ebook format.
'Midnight Confession' by Cheri Valmont offers a journey to the wild,
untamed settlement of 1750s New Orleans. A place where a special
house, a magical diary, and a pirate captain named Miles Chadwick holds
the key to Catherine Ashbury's everlasting happiness... or complete ruin.
Serena Duclos is torn between two men and one very extraordinary request. Luckily, she lives in a house where wishes can come true and passion isn't always defined by convention ... in Emma Wildes' 'An Extraordinary Request'
In Jude Mason's 'Of Death and Desire', Jonathan Strand moves himself and his terminally ill lover, Philip, to one of the lovely historical houses of New Orleans. Later, consumed by grief and tormenting dreams, he finds a diary, and perhaps the answer to his prayers. But at what price?
In 'The War Within' By D. Musgrave, William Beauregard returns from WWII, only to find the visions of the death and destruction haunting him still. He can't shake them and it's pushed him away from his wife, Sheila. These hauntings have him afraid of the voices and images and worries he may lash out at them, hurting his wife. To rid himself of the ghosts, he must take a huge risk, one that could lose his wife to him forever.
In 'Let The Sunshine In' by Jamie Hill, Scott and Terri Walker move to Remembrance Lane hoping for a fresh start in their marriage. Handsome, hirsute Rafe McAllister isn't precisely what they're looking for, but might be exactly what they need.

Great new review from INDY at Joyfully Reviewed for Torrid Teaser Volume 21!
Teaser is just the right word to describe these two stories from the Torrid line that tantalized my senses with just the right amount of plot forged into a quick taste of erotic pleasure...Sex Machine made me want my own personal android that I could use at my leisure. These two stories together make for an explosive combination and I look forward to any upcoming projects these authors have in the works.

Sex Machine is a fun story perfect for as a quick read. Cheri Valmont does a remarkable job developing her characters in such a short tale. There is humor and passion and the relationship between Zand and Teena did not seem forced. Sex Machine is a nice example of Cheri Valmont’s talent.

Ms. Valmont has written a beautiful story with Cajun Fire. I read it within a few hours. I found myself grinning and laughing, angry and jealous. These are just a few of the emotions I felt while reading this intriguing tale. The sex is written tastefully with such intensity, one cannot help craving some sex of their own. I particularly enjoyed Jubal, who in my opinions is a true hero. He fought for what he wanted, loving and accepting Lizabeth, and kicking ass for her. This book is also written with a little BDSM which makes the love scenes all the more exciting. I recommend buying this book for your torrid shelf.

****CAJUN FIRE received 5 ANGELS from Fallen Angel Reviews!!!****
Here's a snippet:
Cajun Fire is a hot, scorching read that brings a variety of characters into play and holds them together like glue until the last page...The story immediately takes off burning and by keeping the story easily flowing, the reader doesn't’t get lost with any of the storyline. The characters emit great emotional sensations, and some hot erotic scenes that smolder the pages.

Rating: 5 Stars
Heat level: O
This is one hot book. The scene where Jubal handcuffs Lizabeth and makes her his sex slave is incredibly arousing. Daniel was a poor sexual mate for Lizabeth and could never satisfy her. He wasn’t aggressive enough. It took a real man to bring her to a shattering orgasm. Jubal was strong and dominating; when he realized that Lizabeth wanted to be handcuffed and dominated, he knew he’d found the perfect mate for him. Lizabeth seems like a spoiled brat at the beginning of this book but Jubal soon tames her. Jubal is strong, sexy and delicious. The plot is interesting. From the moment Jubal and Lizabeth met, I knew they loved each other and were meant to be together. I could hardly wait to turn the pages to see what would happen next. I highly recommend this book.

I just received an unexpected review on SWEET SUMMER RAIN!
Here's a snippet:
Sweet Summer Rain includes a plethora of emotions. The heartbreak between Nikki and Jonas will touch you. As will the wild sexual ride they both endure to find one another once again is amazing. Ms. Valmont uses exceptional imagery and will pull you into each scene created. Reader beware Sweet Summer Rain includes BDSM, but each encounter builds on the storyline. I found the plot interesting and the characters addictive.
