Take one timid but curvy cook, Aidan, who discovers she can perform magic in the kitchen--literally. Add a healthy pinch of desire to become a famous Hollywood chef. Stir in Matteus, the unexpectedly sexy appraiser from the Institute of Magical Instruction. Sprinkle with mutual attraction.

Just one teensy problem: Aidan can't cook--not even boil water.

At some point in every woman's life, she wishes she could do magic. But will Aidan cook up true love, a career...or just a disaster?

Stevi B, Manic Readers Full Review

"My only disappointment was when I came to the end and found... it was the END! I will be looking for more from Ms. Sookoo and hope that maybe there is a story in the future about Aidan and Matteaus."
Tir, You Gotta Read Reviews Full Review

"Sandra Sokoo does an enchanting job. The chemistry between Aidan and Matteus had sparks flying, almost literally. This is a delicious read I recommend to foodies and romance readers alike."
Pam S., Classic Romance Revival Full Review

"I found myself laughing at Foodies Guide to Kitchen Magic from the start. I love that a serious foodie would not be able to cook at all, until learning to control her magic that is. I also was humored by how Ms. Sookoo was able to make the interactions between Matteus and Aidan not only funny but believable. I found a Foodies Guide to Kitchen Magic to be a funny quirky fast read.

Reviews

I felt like I was reading a game of Clue, which was interesting and enjoyable... The cast of characters were well drawn. The setting details good. And the conflicts, both personal and external, handled well. I enjoyed the story and would recommend it to anyone who likes a good who-did-it with a paranormal twist.
Starla Kaye, Got Erotic Romance Full Review

I'm a fan of non-comedic plus-sized characters and Jillian is a strong, interesting woman. The interaction between the suspects and the two FBI agents was delightful and clever. The world that was created in these pages is a place I look forward to visiting again. I enjoyed the mystery as it wasn't too easy to solve or too hard that it could not be figured out. This author holds a firm place on my must-read list. I highly recommend this satisfying novella.
Theresa Joseph, The Romance Studio Full Review

Sandra Sookoo's characters bring to life the depth and complexities of the human spirit. Dead Ruby Slippers is an engaging tale of murder, mystery, magic and love. It proves, once again, that good triumphs and that justice should not only be blind, but also poetic.

Jamison Rocket is a food critic who rarely gives out a 5-star rating. His palate for food is as flawless as his taste in life. Trouble is, he's a vampire, and even though he enjoys his job, he's been haunted by memories of the love he left behind ten years ago—the woman he can't forget.

The meal is a success and when the critic arrives in the kitchen to meet her, Meredith's pride sours into fear and confusion when the critic ends up being, Jamison Rocket—the man who ditched her at the altar and stole her heart.

Neither one has been able to forget the love they once shared. Over the Fourth of July weekend, their romance is rekindled into an inferno they once thought impossible. Though the need for acceptance burns bright within Jamison, it's Meredith who ultimately will need to decide which ingredients she'll need to whip up a happy ending and add fireworks to her own life.

Reviews

"...After only a few pages, I knew I was in for a treat. Sandra Sookoo writes in a fluid style, with a healthy mix of emotion, description and action... Sandra Sookoo is an author I will be looking out for. This was a paranormal romance that focused on Meredith's fractured reality, and it's easy to relate to her plight. The sexual tension, dialogue, and character development made Rocket's Red Glare a winner."
LynnMarie, Happily Ever After Reviews Full Review

"Rocket's Red Glare by Sandra Sookoo is a pure, fun-filled delight to read! I loved the humor that Jamison brought in this story. A vampire who is a food critic...who would have imagined? No one but Sandra Sookoo. Meredith is a spit fire. I would never want to make her mad for fear that my meal would be my last. Meredith and Jamison clicked. They make a perfect couple. Even Meredith's pregnant boss, Fran had me laughing with her flirting with Jamison. Rocket's Red Glare lights up the sky with five stars!"

Gregg Carter, bound to the Devil for all eternity because of an audit gone wrong, seizes the opportunity to take possession of Anne's soul as a way to please his boss. What he didn't count on was the fact that his libido would take the one-way bus to crazy town as he gets to know her better.

Reviews

You have to read this one! Really. The snappy dialogue, larger than life characters and engaging plot will pull you into the world created by Sandra Sookoo. I was almost in tears when the plot unfolded near the end to perfection...Demons & Stilettos are a Girl's Best Friend is a sweet, sexy and utterly entertaining paranormal romance filled with humor at every turn. Don't miss out on this gem of a book.
LynnMarie, Happily Ever After Reviews Full Review

I read Sandra Sookoo because she totally cracks me up. Her heroines have a self understanding that is admirable and Anne is no exception. At the start of the story she is facing death with an irony and subtle sarcasm that hold up even when she has to face her demon, literally... So, to sum up, sexy heroes, real women heroines and humor. A real win-win combination.
Sky, Got Erotic Romance Full Review

I ripped through this one in no-time-flat and was ready for more. A wonderful job with a twist at the end and a sassy grandmother I fell in love with. It was a wild ride that kept me glued to my computer until the very last page. This is one that will be reread several times and I will be recommending it to all my friends.
RomanceReader, Seriously Reviewed Full Review

Sandra Sookoo's Demons and Stilettos are a Girl's Best Friend promises laughter, steamy love scenes and a whipcord smart heroine that will have you rooting for her to the end, making this one you gotta read.
Brynna, You Gotta Read Reviews Full Review

The key to this great story are the fantastic characters. I had no problem believing that a tax man is a real live demon but I find it harder to believe that an IRS auditor is sexy. Annie is a fabulously complex woman which only makes her more realistic. How can you not enjoy a character who when facing certain death laments the fact that her life sucks because of crappy jobs and toxic friendships. Their chemistry is sensational and their dialogue laugh out loud funny. I highly recommend this amusing novella.

Drawn to water.

Caelan, a water dragon from the wilds of Ireland, has been shunned by his clan for his inability to shift and terrorize. Lonely for too long, he meets Neadra one moonlit night and becomes enchanted by her kindness and her unique beauty, but how could anyone love him if he has no heroic ability whatsoever?
