What a month for user-uploaded reviews! With lots of fun new products appearing in October, and a great back catalogue of customer favourites being reviewed, it was tricky to pick just one winner of our Review of the Month competition.

In the end, we chose Cornish89's sincere review of the brand new Sqweel Go USB Rechargeable Oral Sex Simulator ([[productprice:productid=27037]]) as winner, and we're delighted to award her £100 to spend at Lovehoney.

We loved her change from sceptic to full-blown convert:

"I applied lube to myself and started off on the slowest speed which was a nice warm up. I then sped it up, I was surprised to feel close to orgasm on the second setting and pretty shocked to have an orgasm when I put it on the fastest speed! The Sqweel Go has definitely been added to my very short list of items that I can use solo and know I'll achieve orgasm!"

But first for inspiration, authors are frequently asked what inspires their characters. Beth Kery explains that she had several sources of inspiration for the main characters in "Because You Are Mine".

Ian Noble

"I often write sexy alpha males, but Ian was a bit of a departure for me. That’s not to say that as a high-powered business entrepreneur and sexual dominant that Ian isn’t the epitome of an alpha hero. Is he ever!"

Francesca Arno

"It’s often the young and innocent who see most truly, and that’s certainly the case with Francesca. I wanted Francesca to be strong and talented despite her naiveté—an unpolished jewel that Ian immediately recognises as being priceless."
