Dear Ms. Sorenson: They first introduction to work with the self published title, “The Secret of Ella and Micha.” I found the writing to be a little problematic and thus I didn’t pick up The Coincidence of Callie and Kayden when it was released or when it was purchased by Grand Central for republication. However,(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis: I suspect you could write your Lucky Harbor books in your sleep. That is as much a testament to their sameness as it is to your skill. Every book in the series–with the exception of the second, The Sweetest Thing–features a young woman either facing a problem or needing to reboot her(…)

Dear Ms. Connor: Thank you for sending Dear Author a review copy of your book. I’m not a frequent reader of Harlequin Intrigues so I wouldn’t ordinarily pick up this book. Jillian Jones arrives at Sutton Hall posing as a bride to be in order to investigate the death of her best friend. Jillian was(…)

Dear Mr. Kay, I’ve been a fan of your books since I read The Lions of al-Rassan and lamented the fact that it was a standalone. While I haven’t read every GGK book published, I’ve read enough to know that they are part of an impressive and imaginative body of work. When I learned that(…)

Dear Ms. Jamieson: I’ve kind of drifted away from menages but this book was free. I thought the dynamic of the three falling in love was really well done. My minus is that I really needed to see the other issues worked out – how would her family take it; what kinds of decisions would(…)

“Liv Braxton’s Felon Rule #1: Don’t get emotionally involved. Smash-and-grab thieving doesn’t lend itself to getting chummy with the victims, and Liv hasn’t met anyone on the mining colony of Nevarro worth knowing, anyway. So it’s easy to follow her Rules. Until her ex, Tonio, shows up with an invitation to join him on(…)

Dear Ms. Camden, I’m always on the hunt for new and different in romance, and when it comes in the form of an inspirational historical suspense story centering on the opium trade in late 19th-century Boston – with a gorgeous cover as a bonus – I am helpless to resist. As a child, Lydia Pallas(…)

Dear Ms. Chase: Tangled is narrated Drew, a horrible person. He says horrible things. Thinks horrible things. Half the time he comes off slut shaming and half the time he comes off misogynistic. Yet, every time that I think he’s gone beyond the pale, I’m drawn back in. At the end of the book I’m(…)

Dear Ms. Kent: At first, I was a little distressed because the hero is a lawyer and the heroine is a legal assistant (not at the same firm, though). It’s fairly hard for me to get lost in the world of make believe when the characters are so familiar to me. However, there was not(…)

It’s Not Easy Being Green – For My Lady’s Heart This review might be a little shorter than usual, because all I really have to say about For My Lady’s Heart is “it’s awesome.” Thanks for reading! See you next week! Okay, I should probably say a little bit more than that, but this will(…)

the “Cliff Notes” version of my review Dear Ms. Morgan: I did not like this book. For starters the heroine, Whitney Vidra, is a nasty piece of work: self-absorbed, manipulative, bitchy, and oh so superior to all the lesser beings around her. I endured page after page of her being a she-dick, waiting in vain for her(…)

Dear Ms. Goodman: I love your books. I particularly love the slow way that they unfold, like a scroll unfurling as you toss it down a long set of red carpeted steps and then slowly wind it back up as you read each word and each sentence. Your books are for savoring. Alas. True to(…)

“Princess Kimri is used to betrayal. Her brother sold her to a king in exchange for swords to defend his lands. King Tathan’s reputation is as fierce as that of his mountain kingdom–where dragons are said to guard the castle walls–but the realms are unstable enough without angering the mountain-king, so Kimri reluctantly agrees to(…)

Dear Ms. Evers: I think my expectations played a part in my dissatisfaction with this story. I was expecting something a little more serious and perhaps dark and angsty; but instead the relationship between the two came off as more flippant. Marc Wilde and Mistress Lauren are very good friends. They play at the same(…)

Note: The comments are closed for this review. I’d direct you to the Dear Author Book Club pick for May for centralization of comments. Dear Ms. McCarthy: Rory does one thing really well – school. Everything else, particularly the social scene and the interpersonal relationships with the opposite sex, she can’t quite grasp the nuances.(…)
