Praise for Babydoll
"…a total page-turner that flies by in no time. The authors have fun with the mystery genre and their creation of Saylor is a blast…enough humor to put a smile on any seasoned crime fan’s face…BABYDOLL more than delivers as a solid mystery, with plenty more to the plot than murdered models, as something even darker shakes things up."
"I loved Saylor and the book! Saylor is a feisty fun character…the romance is hot, the writing is great and the story is a lot of fun."
"I enjoyed Saylor as the main character…she's smart, she's funny…I also liked some of the secondary characters, particularly the women…a mystery with interesting characters and some really entertaining secondary plot lines. It walked an unusual line between gritty realism and larger than life wackiness."
"This story is sexy, action-packed, and - thanks to the well-drawn and very entertaining characters - pretty funny too. The plot's fashion industry element adds an air of whimsy to the suspense of it all…I love a good crime novel and I find that often my favorites are the ones where the lead character bumbles around a bit. As a sex therapist, Saylor is anything but an experienced sleuth."
"I really enjoyed this book. In the same vein as Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, Saylor Oz is brassy, sassy and funny."
"I am in love with Saylor and can’t get enough of her. There are so many funny moments in this book that I couldn’t possibly pick just one…This husband/wife team of Allyson Roy is dynamic. They are a force to be reckoned with."
"Babydoll was total blast…Saylor is quite a character…recommended read for anyone who loves mysteries with a romantic twist."
Roy has penned another winner…even better than the first…dialogue and scenarios that play out in the written word as if we're watching a movie help make this one of those books that seem to fly by…full of suspense and mystery with comedic overtones that make it a lot of fun…The personalities of Saylor and Benita are priceless mixes of girly girls who are totally feminine with that down to earth nature that endears us to them.
"Babydoll is a fast, fun read with great characters and action that never stops. Allyson Roy is a future star."
"…a riveting story that will keep you on edge…Allyson Roy brilliantly balances out the grittier side with humor, witty dialogue and a tad of steamy goodness that will appeal to all…Be prepared to be taken in as Saylor gets mixed into a tangled web of murder, as well as a conclusion you won’t see coming."
"…an excellent read…The characters are stellar. Each has their own faults, but you can't help but love them. And if that's not enough, the storyline is very suspenseful. Just when you think you've solved the case, Roy throws in something from left field and forces you to reconsider…Several times I found myself laughing at loud. The emotions the reader experiences range from sorrow and hatred to tears-rolling-down-your face humor."
"…exciting, action-packed…loaded with danger"
Praise for Aphrodisiac
"This sexy, exciting race against time is a gripping, fun read that is hard to put down. Just when things get a bit too tough, we, along with Saylor, are treated to a little romantic reprieve.There is just enough going on to keep the story interesting, but it never gets close to being smutty or too heavy-handed.
Obviously comparable to Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum novels, APHRODISIAC (the first in a sure-to-be successful series) has a bit more substance and more going for it. . . . Saylor's and Benita's lives are refreshingly like the lives of a lot of people . . . That depth makes the book a great read. The plot was fun and just believable enough while being fresh."
". . . amazingly entertaining . . . will leave you breathless. I would recommend this to any hip, modern adult who likes thrilling rides, hot men, and women who know how to hold their own."
" . . . wonderfully original and extremely well-written suspense… APHRODISIAC is a ride that will have the reader on the edge of their seat . . . delightfully sarcastic . . . Allyson Roy is a husband and wife writing team that has managed to capture the best in both men’s and women’s fiction . . .This reviewer can’t wait to see their next one."
"Chick lit mystery fans will enjoy this amusing New York City amateur sleuth … fast-paced with plenty of laugh out loud escapades … fun urban frolic."
" . . . excellent murder mystery, engaging characters . . .(Roy) has a hit . . .This may be Allyson Roy's first book, but it was definitely written like a pro . . . I would definitely keep an eye on any future releases by Allyson Roy because Saylor Oz is one character not to be missed."
". . . a novel full of a vast array of very unique and hilarious characters and will have readers looking forward to the further adventures of Saylor and her friends."
"Aphrodisiac is a page-turner. Saylor and Benita are invigorating characters . . . The storyline is strong with enough blending of well-rounded secondary characters . . . holds the readers interest all the way to the dramatic conclusion."
"Stephanie Plum, meet Saylor Oz. APHRODISIAC is sexy, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny."
" . . . full of action and mystery with a touch of local and ancient history."
"Aphrodisiac is an action-packed romantic suspense with a strong and complicated mystery. . . very creative in the way it plays out . . . fast-moving read . . . Saylor is stubborn and sassy."
" . . . an enthralling book I simply could not put down . . . Saylor is a heroine any woman can easily identify with. Each page flew by and I didn't even notice I had read much of the 368 page novel until I was almost to the end . . . I will gladly read anything this author puts out …"
"…Roy’s sense of humor and inventiveness definitely make this an author to watch."
"Excellent mystery with strong women characters."
…witty, suspenseful, unique…Aphrodisiac puts Allyson Roy on my must-read list. It is a crafty, fun ride with a savvy, sexy protagonist at the wheel…She is completely unique among mystery protagonists on the market today. If Saylor and Benita were real, I’d have to friend them on every social network, and go out for beers with them…well-crafted mystery…fantastic job of innuendo and red herrings throughout
