Dear Mss. Andrews, Brook, Shinn, and Singh, Are angels the new vampires in romance novels? It seems like the number of books starring angels continues to expand exponentially. When choosing to write about angels (or winged beings, in the case of the Guardians), authors invite introspection from readers about the nature of good and evil(…)

Dear Ms. Wolff, Jaclyn says: When I opened to page one of Isle of Night I was expecting a historical romance set in Scotland—presumably on the Isle of Night. The ARC I had didn’t have a cover image and because I have enjoyed your books in the past I did not seek information about the(…)

I read a lot in September, like holy-guacamole a lot. There is a letterpress broad side on the wall of my office with a quote from Erasmus that reads, “When I get a little money I buy BOOKS; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.” I think Erasmus and I would have(…)

August is getting labeled with ‘explore new-to-me authors’. Last week I went on a sample downloading binge, inspired by January’s Spoil of War review (that review made me ask, what in the world is getting published, self or otherwise?), which means I’ve been reading a ton on my phone instead of my ereader. I don’t(…)

I may be the slowest writer and least frequent reviewer of the DA crew, but I surely do read a lot. I have this funny (at least it’s funny to my husband) habit of buying more than one ebook at a time. If I’m going to go to the effort to surf the bookstore and(…)

Dear Ms. Jennings, I’ve been reading thrillers since high school. My mom introduced me to Eric Van Lustbader’s series, The Sunset Warrior Cycle, which is more fantasy/sci fi than straight up thriller, but in a search for more Lustbader I found a whole lot of Robert Ludlum in the mass-market section at my little neighborhood(…)

Oh dear. Yes, that’s what I said when I finished reading this book. During the various stories I also said the following: WTF!?, Shut UP!, No way…, and Huh? Three to Tango is a collection of four novellas all featuring m/f/m ménages and the tag-line on the cover says “sex is best when it’s one-on-one(…)

Dear Ms. Wolff, I happened across your books by accident. A couple years ago I was at the library seeking books by an author everyone was talking about-’J.R. Ward. There weren't any books by Ward in the Ws but I saw your name-’Veronica Wolff-’and, truth?, I liked your name. Veronica. Cool. I thought Veronicas must(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis, I have a major problem with Animal Magnetism-’the heroine. At its heart, Animal Magnetism is a story about the hero's emotional evolution, with the heroine and his foster brothers acting as the catalysts that jump-start that evolution. Animal Magnetism opens with Lilah Young, animal rescuer, rear-ending the truck of Brady Miller, retired(…)

Dear Ms. Moning, ShadowFever delivered all the answers I wanted to know about your fascinating world of human and Fae, and yet, after my late-night read-a-thon I feel about ShadowFever like Mac feels about herself through much of the book: bipolar. ShadowFever is the culmination of the search for the Sinsar Dubh, a ageless Fae(…)

Dear Ms. Moning, Hi, my name is Jaclyn and I am a Fever-aholic. This is a post about addiction. Yes, dear ones, I did read book four of the Fever series, DreamFever, by candlelight because the electricity went out the night I got my hands on a copy. I started reading this series in 2006,(…)

Dear Ms. Schroeder, It's cold and snowy where I live and I was in the mood to read a book set in Hawaii when I found your book A Little Harmless Lie on the Samhain web site. I promptly bought it and learned that it is the fourth book in a series called "Harmless" and(…)

Dear Ms. Ward, Since discovering the Black Dagger Brotherhood at the second book in the series, Lover Eternal, I have been addicted. The BDB guys are hot, sexy, powerful and all flawed in some horrific way that has provided plenty of angst and strife that each guy has worked to overcome with the help of(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis, Slow Heat is the first book by you that I've read, and hoo-boy, I've been missing out. Slow Heat is captivating from page one, and I might have even gotten a little teary-eyed near the end of the story-’it is exactly what a romance story should be: believable characters with challenges in(…)
