If you are looking for a sweet romance and enjoy historical settings, I think you’ll find Courting the Stationmaster’s Daughter a delightful afternoon read
"COURTING THE STATIONMASTER’S DAUGHTER is a gently paced book, which I believe will appeal to readers who enjoy a sweet and slow building romance with lots of historic detail."
For Engaging the Heiress: Juli D. Revezzo lights up the reading world with another sweet historical romance between two amazing characters one cannot help but wish the very best for. Rich in detail, filled with moments of humor, feel Edwin’s uncertainty and Jera’s determination come to life as they attempt to pull off the impossible only to find their lives changed forever! A fun read with a definite feel of a time when propriety was everything and following the rules was expected, which makes these two “rulebreakers” even more endearing!
"It was easy to like the main characters Edwin Hetherington and Jera Camden. ... [they] are lovely characters whose lives end up taking a turn they did not expect...."
"“Interesting to see how the rumor mill nudges and propels this couple’s relationship forward.”
For Vesta's Clockwork Companions: “Vesta’s interaction with the younger Henry sends sparks flying each time they meet….A fast moving steampunk romance”
For Vesta's Clockwork Companions (Gears, Cogs, and Puppy Dogs, book one) “A fun read with that steampunk feel, humorous moments, entertaining dialogue and the mystery of alchemy, this rapid-fire read is pure entertainment!” ~Dii, Tome Tender
“I loved every page, the characters the dialogue, everything related to the writing. And the cover is gorgeous as well. Please check this book out, it’s really worth your time! 5 out of 5 stars!”–Lilly’s Book World
“Vesta….is a strong, intelligent heroine sure to capture readers’ imagination. Dog lovers will be intrigued to follow the thread involving dogs in this book…Steampunk readers will be sure to love this story.”
Wondering what ‘Steampunk” is? Take a look at Juli D. Revezzo’s Watchmaker’s Heart and you will have a delicious sample of an alternate history that is equal parts, fascinating, fun, witty and even a little quirky at times! Did I mention the tinkerers and their machines and devices? If your mind isn’t dreaming up your own steampunk inventions, or you didn’t want to jump into this world for even just a little while, I would be surprised!
This honey-sweet audio, featuring a headstrong heroine with spunk in spades and a thieving anti-hero, is such a romantic story!
This sweet Victorian romance involves a different sort of heroine, one who likes to tinker with inventions rather than obsess over romance. The hero comes into her life just as she's had her dreams dashed regarding her latest invention...
For Lady of the Tarot:“I was pleasantly surprised…When [the heroine] first got engaged I knew that was a mistake. Then she met Linton & together they found truth, sanity of some sort & love. The narrator for this story was perfect. I recommend this if you have not read it yet. Great story.”
"A wonderfully suspenseful Gothic romance! Juli D. Revezzo has done it again. Set amidst the French Revolution she weaves in supernatural elements to run chills up your spine."
The audio version brings a fun color to this story with the french and british accents interspersed throughout. Although the protagonist, Emilie, escapes the Reign of Terror, she enters another kind of dark world that requires cautious navigating. A love triangle and tarot readings certainly creates action and adventure for Emilie.
Fans of female-driven historical narratives will enjoy the voice of Ms. Revezzo's displaced heroine as she struggles to adapt to a new life in England.
I loved this book. The characters were fabulous, their adventures full of suspense. The narrator was amazing.
"A Gothic tale you won't soon forget! LADY OF THE TAROT is much more than just a Gothic. Revezzo has added a terrifying mix, creating a tale that grabs you from page one, skillfully weaving a nightmarish finish where love and tarot cards are the only things left standing...Add this one to your permanent library. You'll want to read it again."
For The Artist's Inheritance: Wow! This book is full of some pretty scary situations. I love the paranormal aspect of it. The story line is a well thought out sequence of haunting events. The 'chair' is an object of desire that causes some great conflicts. I like how descriptive the author gets. The story itself is written well. The characters are a great mix. An all around great read.
What fun to read ! This tale comes to life as Cait struggles to save her marriage, her husband and her sanity. Sprinkled throughout with past-life Civil War battles, ghosts, goddesses, witchy friends, evil-doers and a family curse, the story is fast-paced and exciting all around. I read it in one sitting because I simply could not put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal stories.
Juli D. Revezzo's "The Artist's Inheritance" is a thriller that will appeal to fans of paranormal fiction. The author has developed an exciting tale that stretches backward into several generations of a family that appears to be cursed. Caitlin and Trevor are the current owners of the home where Trevor's twin died. As Caitlin tries to unravel the mystery of events surrounding his death, she experiences bizarre visions while her husband Trevor is strangely obsessed with a chair he is creating. It takes a small coven of witches to help Caitlin and Trevor obtain some sense of normality in their life -- but to say more would ruin the story for you, the reader! "The Artist's Inheritance" by Juli D. Revezzo is defintely a thrilling ride!
"Fast, creepy, and just the thing if you're looking for a little spook to liven up your day."
"This is definitely an author and a series you’re going to want to keep your eye on! Don't forget to leave the lights on as you read this book!"
“Hadn’t read anything by Revezzo, but will now read everything. What a gift!”
‘Mourning Dove Locket’ was another exciting book from the ‘Antique Magic Series’. The storyline was full of mystery and an exciting display of magic. The way it played out was, basically, magical. I loved the way Caitlin has expanded her magic and talents as a witch and mentor. The characters were great. Trevor and Caitlin make the best couple. Their mutual love and devotion to each other is powerful. Maria was a fun character. She definitely has more of an open mind than I would have. A great add to your tbr list. Recommended read.
The Artist’s Inheritance is a brilliant paranormal and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
For Keeper of the Grove: "Fans of Celtic stories won't want to miss this one"
For Drawing Down the Shades: A most enjoyable to read… Caitlin and Trevor are a adorable couple and fell in love with them right away …Very intriguing storyline and breeze to read through.
For The Dragon's Seamstress: "A witch with a strong support group. A dragon who needs her (and her husband's) help. I might be wrong about this, but I'm not sure we've seen the last of that impatient dragon. His current issue might have been resolved, but there's more Caitlin can (probably) do for him. Time will tell!
A book that sucks you in….Well written and well thought out. A definite add to your tbr list. Recommended. Denise Gardner, Lovers of paranormal. Read full review here.
As with The Artist’s Inheritance and Caitlin’s Book of Shadows (a novella), I just inhaled Drawing Down the Shades because I didn’t want to put it down….One of the things I especially like about this series is the humor that is mixed in with the eeriness. And Beryl’s blueberry muffins.
For the novella Caitlin's Book of Shadows: “Juli D. Revezzo kept upping the suspense and you just wanted to keep turning the page.”
Settling into a new home, Caitlin notices changes coming over her husband. When nightmares deepen and ghosts begin lurking-Caitlin knows something's not right, and not just her newfound precognitive abilities. It's the damned chair her husband's carving, she's sure. Could it be just what it seems: a mundane piece of furniture? If so, why is it attracting dark forces-the forces she suspects drove Trevor's siblings to insanity and suicide? Armed with a handful of allies-a coven of helpful witches-she must proceed with caution against the hellish forces besieging her family. If she fails, she may lose forever the one thing she cares about most: her beloved Trevor. What a creepy story! It took me a chapter or two to get used to the author's storytelling style and fantasy/paranormal is not my usual genre but I did enjoy this story. I did have a problem with the character of Cait. I know she loves her husband and he definitely was behaving strangely but I just didn't feel a connection with her. Trevor on the other was frightening and scary and I found myself empathizing with him and all his family had suffered. The plot is very interesting and by the end of the book I was satisfied with the outcome. It left me wondering where the author will taking these character as this is the first book in a series.
".. a good read.... I'll most likely read the next one... I'd like to see what happens next"
This book is, in fact, full of Celtic imagery and mythic references. It helps if you’re a bit familiar with that world, but even if you aren’t you’ll enjoy the story anyway. There are old secrets to be uncovered, battles to be fought, and more than one Harshad warrior over whom to drool. My advice? Just sit back and enjoy the wild ride! I’ll bet by the end you, too, will want your own Harshad warrior!
This is a smoothly paced story that mixes myth and reality perfectly with the romance of Aaron and Stacy along with quite a bit of paranormal elements to add even more enjoyment to this first book in a series.
For Bitter Thorn Tribe: There are plenty of twists that keep you interested. And you’ll have to read the next one to find out if it all turns out right for Stacy and Aaron. But it’s a good follow-up to the first book.
For Druid Defiance: “Ms. Revezzo has added another great tale to this series and shored up each character with more depth. In the battle of good versus evil, who will win, the forces of darkness or the Steward who could go Bridezilla on them all?”
Druid Warrior Prince is a fast-paced medieval romance with neat magic and interesting characters. It’s the third book in the Celtic Stewards Chronicles, but it can be read at any time in the series and doesn’t have any cliffhangers. It’s a pagan story about Tuatha dé Danann warriors, Druid heroes, and evil Harbingers. The climax in the story happens on Samhain, where our modern-day Halloween comes from. It’s a coming-of-age story with a strong female protagonist named Gwenevieve. She has misplaced ideals when it comes to choosing a husband. I don’t like to give any clues away, but I was disappointed that her newly realized ability and recently acquired weapons weren’t used in the main battle. This book was lots of fun to read. Please be aware that there is some sexual content without being overly explicit. For this reason, I would suggest that it’s more appropriate for new adults.
For Druid Warrior's Heart: “The author has a deep knowledge of Celtic antiquity and has imbued her story with authentic details about gods, practices and beliefs, which was one of the things I most enjoyed about this book along with the hero, a warrior of an ancient Irish race. Not only is Isaac one of the most attractive heroes I’ve encountered in a while but he harbors magic, a potent combination.”
"Druid Warrior's Heart" is a gripping historical romance featuring a hot soldier hero and a beautiful heroine with an important destiny.
The Celtic myths and various evil creatures were an important part of the story, and I thought they were well presented. There’s a lot of fighting in the story, (it is war, after all) but it’s not too graphic and doesn’t take over the main story/romance. This really is a good premise for a series, and I believe the author is planning at least one more story. It’ll be fun to continue reading about the Macken family in different time periods. Some of the druid characters could also (potentially) have their own stories one day too.
For Keeper of the Grove: “When fantasy becomes reality, the battle of good versus evil could be epic! Ms Revezzo has done her homework, rounded up her characters and set the stage for some great reading from start to finish! All you add is your own imagination.”
“I couldn’t put this book down. If you like breathtaking, spellbinding, intrigue, compelling characters. This is your book and you will be looking forward to many more as I am. ” Debi Allen, Amazon
“For those who like paranormal and just your downright spooky stories, will find this a fine story to try out.”
Praise for Passion’s Sacred Dance (AKA Keeper of the Grove) “Reading Passion's Sacred Dance has been a delight. Juli manages to convey both Stacy’s steadfast conviction and her skepticism, at the same time, in a very believable manner. How often do we want something so badly that, once it falls into our laps, we hardly dare to believe it can be ours–and find out we really don’t want it? It is a wonderful debut novel, a well crafted story that mixes Celtic myth and folklore with Floridian history, that pits good against evil and holds the fate of the world in its hands. I heartily recommend this book — and not just because I adore Aaron”–Jolene Dawe, The Saturated Page. (Passion's Sacred Dance is now Keeper of the Grove)
ForThe Artist's Inheritance: “This is definitely an author and a series you’re going to want to keep your eye on! Don’t forget to leave the lights on as you read this book!”
"The Artist's Inheritance" by Juli D. Revezzo is a thriller that will appeal to fans of Paranormal Fiction. It has all the right features for a story that includes witches, imps, past lives -- you name it! Caitlin and Trevor are the current owners of the home where Trevor's twin died. As Caitlin seeks to uncover the details of Gordon's death, she experiences bizarre visions, while her husband Trevor becomes obsessed with a chair he is creating. As Caitlin delves deeper into the family's history, more and more mysteries appear, and strange events occur. An "E" ticket read!"
"Caitlin's Book of Shadows is, as it's called, a story set between books 1 and 2 of Juli D. Revezzo's Antique Magic series. As such, it's not necessarily something one should read and expect to understand without having read the first book, The Artist's Inheritance. That said, as a continuation of Caitlin's and Trevor's life, and adventures, together, Caitlin's Book of Shadows is a great story. We get to see a bit of the emotional aftermath of the events in book one, we get to see Cait and Trevor putting in effort to get their relationship back to okay, and we get to see how they begin to integrate the changes fate and life threw at them. And we get some foreshadowing of the book yet to come. There is a trend for shorter works to be released between books, either on author websites, exclusive mailing lists, or, now, in e-book format, and as a reader, I have to say I honestly enjoy this trend, and one I'm glad Ms. Revezzo has decided to take part in."

Praise for Changeling’s Crown:
“Awesome, fantastic. I enjoyed every minute of Ianthe and Briak’s story….This is one of the best books I’ve read this year and I highly recommend it to others who love this genre as I do.” ~Wanda, Lovers of Paranormal Group, Goodreads/via Amazon. Read more here.
JR McDonald, From Lovers of Paranormal Group, via Amazon:
And Briak… Instead of a knight in shining armor, the author has given us a legitimately bad guy…. LOVED him.
Revezzo’s writing flows beautifully. The world she’s built is engaging and imaginative. I would recommend for those who enjoy romantic tales with a touch of faery dust.

Praise for Murder Upon a Midnight Clear,
from The Jeep Diva Blog (now defunct):
“Fast paced and carrying a lovely sinister tone that adds to the creep factor of a murderer passing himself off as a Santa, there are plenty of moments that put me on the edge of my seat….Twisty and laden with tension, this was a read that kept me guessing and wondering almost from the beginning. Sexy characters with a palpable attraction, a disturbed spirit world and a killer that is stalking Sean’s family for reasons yet unknown make this a must read for fans of romantic suspense.”
squee Thanks, Gaele!
Praise for House of Cards:
” A quick, fun, and creepy read”~Jade from Ginger-read Reviews
