Dear Ms. Banks: When I heard you were publishing a “50-esque” trilogy, I knew immediately that it would be on my reading list. Although I have hit-or-miss luck with some of your books, you write dandy alpha males, and I love nothing better than your dominant males, so I was optimistic about this reading experience(…)

Dear Ms. Julian: I requested your book because I’d seen a number of favorable reviews and I love an ugly duckling story, which, at first glance is what I thought this book was. Unfortunately, while the premise was promising, I found myself disengaged from the characters and found the action made the book quite easy(…)

Dear Ms. Holly: You popped my erotica cherry WAY back in the day with your Black Lace release, Menage. I’ve always enjoyed your contemporary set erotica/erotic romances, but stopped reading your books as your paranormal voice did not work for me. So when a Dear Author reader suggested that I try this book, I jumped(…)

Dear Tara Sue Me: I picked this book up at Amazon after being somewhat intrigued by the premise. I’ll freely admit that while I disliked 50 Shades of Grey, I was captivated by the “the love of a billionaire” trope. I found out after reading your book that it is also Twific. I found it(…)

In thinking about it, I didn’t think that 2012 was a particularly bad reading year for me. But when I looked back at my reviews, I realized that I wrote only two A-grade reviews. And once I started compiling my list, I could only come up with six titles that I would wholeheartedly recommend. These(…)

Dear Ms. Hunter: I’ve read and enjoyed your shapeshifter romances in the past, so requesting this book from you was a no-brainer for me. Chloe Bryant is mystified to find herself in front of The Wolf’s Den, a tattoo parlor in the seedier side of town. She’s determined to have a tattoo done over the(…)

Dear Ms. Ashley: You were easily my biggest discovery this year, and probably my favorite. Sure, I gnash my teeth and moan about the editing and the weird writing ticks that you have, but I read your books over and over and I pimp them relentlessly on Twitter. So, as I started to come up(…)

Dear Ms. Ashley: 2012 was definitely “The Year of Kristen Ashley” for me. I read about 20 of your books. And then I read most of them again. Generally speaking, your contemporary romances work better for me than your paranormals, as I find your world building to be occasionally half-hearted. I don’t say this as(…)

Dear Ms. Lynn: I read Rock Me, the second book in this series because I have a thing about tattooed heroes. The hero of that book was a tattoo artist, as is Seth “Ghost” Warren, the hero of Leave Me Breathless. Seth is also shaved bald (another of my favorite kinds of heroes) and he’s(…)

Dear Ms. Harrison: I am a huge fan of your Elder Races series. The fact that your fifth installment revisits Pia and Dragos, easily my favorite couple in the series (I’ve re-read Dragon Bound more than 10 times), made requesting the book a no brainer. Our visit with Pia and Dragos comes at a delicate(…)

Dear Ms. Frank: I picked up your book on Amazon because I was interested by the cover (which has absolutely *nothing* to do with the actual plot of the book). Dr. Magdalena O’Donnell is grieving. She was driving the car that her 18 year old sister Carly was riding in when she died. Lena is(…)

Dear Ms. Dane: Juliet Lamprey is the owner of Tart, an innovative bakery that makes scrumptious baked goods. When Jules decides that it’s time to start using locally grown goods as much as possible for her ingredients, she decides that she should start with Patrick Carter’s farm. Mr. Carter is a sweet older man, and(…)

Dear Ms. Long, Dabney and I are both fans of your work and we both enjoyed your latest Pennyroyal Green novel, A Notorious Countess Confesses. I, however, liked it more than Dabney did and thought it would be interesting to discuss the book with her. A Notorious Countess Confesses continues the pattern of the last(…)

Dear Ms. Thomas – You have the terrible tendency of ruining me for other books. What I mean is, I read a Sherry Thomas book, and then nothing else I read really satisfies me. This was the case for me with Tempting the Bride because it has within its covers several romance tropes that I(…)

Dear Ms. Sinclair, I’m pretty sure I’ve not read anything by you before. I saw Angela James talking about your book on Twitter and clicked over to Amazon to see whether the book might appeal to me. Threatened by university cutbacks, Professor Abigail Bern’s only hope is to publish a provocative research paper–soon. Planning to(…)
