Dear Ms. Bradley, I registered at NetGalley for the express purpose of downloading an advanced copy of this book. I've been a fan of yours since reading your contribution to the Hot Nights, Dark Desires anthology. "The Art of Desire," featuring a tattoo artist hero and his female client, is one of my favorite erotic(…)

Dear Ms. Kallmaker, You are a Lambda Literary award winning author. It says so right on the front of your book! I've also seen your name cited many times when readers recommend lesbian romance. Stepping Stone is the second Kallmaker I've read and it won't be the last. The story opens with Selena Ryan, a(…)

I'm always looking for good f/f/m and this story was recommended to me by another reader. The only other Harlequin Spice short I've read, Tonight, My Love, by Tracie Sommers, was very memorable. The Gift is sexy, unique, and well-written. It opens with Mia and her husband, Evan, at a cocktail party. They've been married(…)

From Reader Sonoma Lass: I loved this book! It’s wonderful to have a historical romance set in China. The setting is rich and the story and characters are imbued with its essence of honor, loyalty and tradition. Family is important, and so is love, and reconciling the conflict between those seems almost impossible at times.(…)

Dear Ms. Cannon, I bought your book because I liked the cover. Many of the covers this subgenre over-sexualized and off-putting (naked asses and o-faces!), or vague and flowery (Grandma is a lesbian?). This one strikes a nice balance for me. It looks modern and sexy. The book doesn't quite live up to the cover,(…)

I came across Fever by doing a search for lesbian fiction at my local library. This title was available for request and I've read several other Bold Strokes books that I liked. I was also intrigued by the blurb, which mentions an African setting. Unfortunately, a weak conflict and confusing details made Fever a miss(…)

Radclyffe, In the acknowledgements, you mention this book's "checkered past." You declined to change a certain aspect of the story, opting to shelve the project for several years instead. I'm glad you made that decision because Tomorrow's Promise is all the better for it. This is a passionate romance between two strong, wounded women, and I(…)

Allow me to tell you a story. Recently, I had the honor of premiering a cover for a science fiction romance book on my blog. The cover for R. Garland Gray's Darkscape: First Heir excited me because it had a combination of SF and romance elements that hit the right balance. Naturally, I'm thinking, this(…)

Jane’s Note: Someone more adept at gathering and collating information contacted me about doing a guest post on paranormal books from the perspective of what editors are buying. The numbers were interesting and I was glad to post the following: Paranormal has been the hot genre for years now – readers (and publishers) can't seem(…)

Cattle Valley seems like a nice little town where everyone is living a Gay HEA. I thought the author did a good job of showing a strong community where people support and accept one another. In Fool's Gold, we meet a lot of characters from the other books in this series, and they don't add(…)

Dear Mr. Eisler: Fault Line was the first book of yours that I’d read. I’ve since read more, by the way. In the past, I have worked at Intellectual Property law firms as well as in the legal department of a Bio-Tech firm, so I am intimate with the portion of Fault Line that deals(…)
