Author: Koko Brown | Website

Koko Brown is the pseudonym for a quintessential erotic romance junkie who once read over 200 Zebra Club novels in less than 30 days the summer before her senior year in high school.

Koko’s writing career began at the tender age of nine when she self-published and distributed a newspaper to her fellow classmates. Unfortunately, her grade school school principal didn’t appreciate the competition and put her out of business after one best-selling issue.

Undaunted, Koko continued to write and read everything she could get her hands on. She honed her writing skills as a staff writer on her college’s newspaper, writing obituaries for the local newspaper, and teaching English to high school students.

One day while daydreaming in bed, Koko came up with the idea for her first erotic manuscript. Taking a hiatus from teaching, she had enough time on her hands to flesh out the story in two short weeks. A week later, she cleaned it up, then sent it to Ellora’s Cave during the Christmas holiday. By January she heard from one of their editors and by March (and many revisions) she signed a contract for her vampire novel Charmed.

Calling the east coast of Florida home, Koko loves to travel, shop in thrift stores, ride motorcycles, renovate houses, and volunteering.

Cooking with Sin

From the moment Senior Chief Petty Officer Cole Rodriguez lays eyes on celebrity TV chef-turned-restaurateur Sinclair Fletcher, he realizes his celebrity crush is something more. But convincing the petite dynamo, who's harboring a secret that could ruin her career and reputation, into his bed proves more difficult than a six-hundred-meter dive for the Naval master diver.

Out of the frying pan into the fire. Sinclair Fletcher has rested her laurels on a hundred-year-old spell that makes everyone fall in love with her cooking. The only drawback? They fall in love with her as well. So it only makes sense she doesn't allow anyone to get close, not even mouth-watering SCPO Cole Rodriguez. But when she gets one taste of the sexy sailor, things start to heat up, and he leaves her hungering for more.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations and graphic language.

Forever, I Do

Rosalind Fletcher has a secret. Her one-of-a-kind wedding cakes are infused with a loving spell handed down from mother to daughter for over a century. Her sought-after creations are not only delicious, but rumored to be lucky as well: producing long-lasting marriages where the men never stray, the women don't nag, and 99.7 percent never face each other on opposite ends of a court room.

But what happens when her spell falls into the hands of the wrong person? Like Ashley Benedict, notorious playboy and wedding planner extraordinaire, who eats a sample meant for his clients? There's only one thing that can happen: he succumbs to the spell's bewitching powers and sets out to charm the pants off of the hardworking sole proprietress of Forever, I Do cakes.

While Rosalind frantically searches for an antidote, she surrenders to Ashley's lustful appetites. Will guilt push her into finding a successful cure for her bewitched lover, or will her heart allow herself to be locked into a loving relationship with a man who might not really be in love with her?

Koko Brown mesmerizes her readers in much easier fashion than vampire Tristan does with his mate Chloe, providing one fantastic tale! I am a fan of the curvy heroine and it appears so is Tristan. I love how Chloe has issues with her size but they do not define her, rather they simply influence her. She is such a practical woman, taking everything in stride, making her very easy to admire. She is bold, brainy

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Contemporary, Multicultural / Minority
For the most part this was an entertaining and quick read. This contemporary erotic romance is filled with humorous moments interlaced with hot sex scenes. The main characters are engaging; Roxanne is gregarious, bright, and clear on what she wants in her life-for the most part. Leo is a dream in Clark Kent glasses. He is self-possessed, caring, intelligent, and is absolutely in love with the heroine. The dia

Carnal Moves

Diagnosed with chronic stress disorder, half-demon Gideon is ordered to take up a hobby. Initially balking at his shrink’s remedy, but faced with an eternity in solitude, Gideon signs up for ballroom dance lessons.

His hobby turns into another kind of hell when Gideon is partnered with the curvaceous Macy. He’s avoided human females for more than a thousand years, but her moves evoke carnal images of sweaty bodies and tangled sheets. Unable to resist temptation, Gideon thinks a few nights of soul-searing sex will slake his lust for the human female.

He couldn’t be more wrong!

Carnal Moves is an interesting, light hearted, sexy and fast paced book. Gideon (bad as you want to be) and Macy (good girl), seem to be a well matched unlikely pair. Which is a contradiction and I didn't see how this could possibly work. But it did and beautifully too. I give Kudos to Koko Brown for achieving this feat. I read it twice, back to back because there were so many interesting things going on all
