Dear Ms. Hayes, I requested your books because they are published by the same publishing house that first published Fifty Shades of Grey, and I was interested to read another of their authors, even though Fifty Shades really didn’t work for me. I guess I was missing something because I hadn’t grasped that The Writer’s(…)

Dear Ms. Bell, I decided to read Bear Necessities after seeing the cover for book 2 in the Halle Shifters series, Cynful, which features a truly beautiful American Indian man with long hair. It’s a striking cover, and was enough to pique my curiosity about the series. Alexander Bunsun is a grizzly bear shifter. He’s(…)

Dear Ms. Robbins, I adore books about rock stars falling in love with “regular” people, so when you submitted Face the Music to Dear Author, I knew I had to request it. What I found was a frustrating combination of an extreme (and distressingly inert) Mary Sue heroine, a slow-moving plot, and an authorial voice(…)

Dear Ms. King, I requested Sharing Hailey from Net Galley because it contains two of my favorite tropes, a monogamous ménage and what I like to call the “I love my brother’s best friend” trope.

Dear Ms. McCarthy, When you published the first two Fast Track series books, I was enthralled. I loved the heroes and the intelligent, self sufficient heroines that you wrote. But subsequent books led me to fall out of love with the series, as I felt the heroines went from intelligent and self sufficient to bitchy(…)

Dear Ms. Banks, As a lover of intertwined books and series, I appreciate the purpose behind this book: to allow long time readers of the Colters’ Legacy series a chance to revisit past couples. While I think that the intent to give readers what they want is a great one, I found Colters’ Promise to(…)

Dear Ms. Dane, I have long been a fan of your books, in particular your contemporary voice, which I find works for me on a variety of levels. I read Heart of Darkness, the first of your Bound by Magick series, last year and found that the world building was solid and inventive, and introduced(…)

Dear Ms. Bast, I have long been a fan of your books, particularly your Elemental Witches series. I find that your voice lends itself well to building paranormal worlds, and I’ve always appreciated your ability to build a fascinating mythology while never losing sight of the main couple’s romance. Which is why I was disconcerted(…)

Dear Ms. Ashley: I was on Twitter a few days ago, and author Carly Phillips mentioned Knight by Kristen Ashley as being “50 Shades-ish”. While 50 Shades did not work for me, I adored Bared to You by Sylvia Day, and I’m a sucker for a serious alpha-hole, so I decided to buy the book.(…)
