GUEST POST: Alien Heroes: Too Strange For Romance Readers?

Romance readers can pick and choose from a wide selection of heroes, but despite our need for variety, are there certain kinds we’ll avoid no matter the circumstances? That question came to mind recently upon reading a comment at my blog and I’d like to get your input on the issue. Author Linnea Sinclair shared(…)

REVIEW:  The Italian by Lisa Marie Rice

REVIEW: The Italian by Lisa Marie Rice

Dear Ms. Rice: I’m a big fan of your work and willingly paid $4.99 for this novella despite its brevity.  While I enjoyed reading it, the novella was more of an interlude than a complete story.  Stefano Leone is a judge working to bring one of Italy’s strongest mobsters to his doom. For three years,(…)

Debut Print Book: Reservations for Two by Jennifer Lohmann

Debut Print Book: Reservations for Two by Jennifer Lohmann

I’ve had some concerns by readers who are primarily print readers that the coverage at Dear Author has been too focused on ebooks. When I asked the readers what they were interested in seeing, they responded that they would like to know more about print debut authors. We developed a little questionnaire and every Wednesday(…)

Recommended Reads Saturday: Fallen from Grace by Laura Leone

Recommended Reads Saturday: Fallen from Grace by Laura Leone

Brie says: I am recommending this book because I recommend this book because the hero is a prostitute, which happens to be my favorite type of hero, closely followed by virgin heroes (I also love everything in between *grins*). If that’s not enough, I should say that the story is touching and has the right(…)

GUEST REVIEW: The Other Side of Us by Sarah Mayberry

Dear Sarah Mayberry I’m a Kiwi, and wherever possible, I like to buy and read books that support local authors, especially when they are set in New Zealand or Australia.

REVIEW:  A Taste of Scandal by Erin Knightley

REVIEW: A Taste of Scandal by Erin Knightley

Dear Ms. Knightley: This book is the romance between the Earl of Raleigh, Richard Moore, and Jane Bunting, baker and proprietress of a confectionaire’s shop.  Jane has good reason to despise the aristocracy and first meetings with Richard only serve to cement her opinion that they run London with little thought to the lower classes.(…)

REVIEW:  Iced by Karen Marie Moning

REVIEW: Iced by Karen Marie Moning

Dear Ms. Moning, The Fever series was exciting and unparalleled in urban fantasy. When I heard you were branching off from the Fever series with a second trilogy, I had high hopes. Sadly, this book fell short of my expectations. Whereas the Fever series was held together by the glue that was Mac and all(…)

GUEST REVIEW:  Top Ten Reasons to read Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley

GUEST REVIEW: Top Ten Reasons to read Motorcycle Man by Kristen Ashley

This was my first Kristen Ashley. I happened upon this book via Twitter, which is something that happens to me on an increasingly frequent basis. I follow a lot of romance readers and I buy what probably amounts to a ridiculous number of books just based on their conversations about the books they’re currently reading(…)
