This good girl’s going bad…. Merry Kade has always been the good girl. The best friend. The one who patiently waits for the guy to notice her. Well, no more. Merry has just scored her dream job, and it’s time for her life to change. As the new curator of a museum in Wyoming, she’ll(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl, I am still surprised at how little I liked your latest Western-lite book, Close Enough to Touch. I’ve enjoyed many of your books–especially the sexy Bad Boys Do (reviewed here, along with the other Donovan books, by Robin) and the very funny Lead Me On (given a B+ here by Jane)– and you’re hilarious on Twitter. This book,(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: I had been planning to review Good Girls Don’t, but by the time I got to it, Bad Boys Do was out and Real Men Will was imminent. So I figured I might as well review all three, since the trilogy’s release dates are so close together. I’m not a stickler for(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: I read this book at the Romantic Times convention because you had brought me an ARC or perhaps the ARC was there for someone else and I appropriated it. I can’t recall. I read this throughout the conference, taking it with me to dinner and not going down to drink in the(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: Having really enjoyed your contemporary Romances set in Tumble Creek, I was nevertheless looking forward to the change of scene in Crazy for Love. Like my favorite contemporaries, Crazy for Love has smart dialogue, witty prose, and complicated characters. However, I was not ultimately crazy in love with this book, which felt(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: I’m probably not going to do this book justice in the review and I actually have some fear of turning people off the book based on what I am going to write. Robin and I talked about the book and she said it was brave and I agree. It’s brave because Jane,(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: I have struggled to come to terms with my reactions to One Week as Lovers for a while now. Before I get to that, though, let me say that I really enjoyed Lancaster and Cynthia, a couple with a compelling, touching story and a connection that registered powerfully with me on several(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: Now that I’ve read three of your novels, I see a pattern in your heroines: they are extremely jealous of their independence, convinced that no man can be depended on, and afraid of showing themselves completely to the world. I appreciate these qualities in a genre that too often holds its heroines(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: Anyone who has read your contemporary Romance, Talk Me Down, knows that its heroine, Molly, writes erotic fiction under the name Holly Summers, including a little work called The Wicked West, an homage to her very own hero, Ben. So what a clever promotion to actually publish this story under the pen(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: I kept meaning to read your historical books. Janet aka Robin wrote a wonderful reivew of A Rake’s Guide to Pleasure but I always feel compelled to read the new books with my free time. When your contemporary landed on my doorstep, I thought that I would break my Victoria Dahl cherry(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: Had you not sent Dear Author the ARC of this book for review, the cheesy cover, hackneyed title, and curious cover quote from Eloisa James – “So hot the pages smoke . . . ” – would have thoroughly deterred me from picking it up on my own. Which would have been(…)
