Dear Ms. Nichols, Since I only read 148 of the 443 pages that comprise your first novel, Sunburst's Citadel, there are a number of things I'm not qualified to say about it. I can't say, for example, how much the characters grow or change over the course of the book, or whether the plot takes(…)

Dear Ms. Walker: I started this story and then could not get past the first chapter or the hook and flipped to Sasha’s story. I came back to finish it, about the time we were having the DNF dilemna and I couldn’t make it past the fifth chapter and rather than forcing myself, I gave(…)

Dear Ms Thornton, Though I’d never tried any of your books before, I took a chance on this one when I saw it was set in Restoration Era Venice and England. Alas, it turned out to be a style of novel I’ve lost all patience for. The hero and heroine are torn apart years before(…)

Dear Ms. Blair, I know there will be people who adore this book. People who enjoy a more wacky, screwball type of comedy and who’ll love watching these two characters interact. I’m not one of them. I know that lots of people have enjoyed the two previous books in this series, The Kitchen Witch and(…)

Dear Ms. More, “Allegiance” caught my eye as I’m always looking for a good western and it’s harder and harder to find them in print anymore. Unfortunately, I don’t think you’ll like to read my opinion of it. Amy Baker and her brother Jeb are headed downriver to New Orleans on a Mississippi River boat.(…)

Dear Ms. Havlir, Several of your books were nominated during our monthly ebook contests but it’s taken me until now to try one. Unfortunately, it didn’t work too well for me. You describe your heroine as super intelligent, a woman who graduated from college at age 16 and who at age 26 is a trauma(…)

Dear Mrs. Poff, I tried. I really tried to finish Chase for an Angel. But I just couldn’t. The book starts too slowly with a whole chapter of flashback. Then your style, more telling than showing, distanced me from the characters and the story. Then you separate the hero and heroine for years. The way(…)

Over the weekend, I tried to read True Lies of a Drama Queen/Nichols and The Fox Prince/Amiri. Couldn’t get past about the 5-6th chapters for either of them. I hated the heroine in Drama Queen and the overdramatic tone and flowery language of Prince completely put me off. I was really pissed about the Amiri(…)

Dear Ms. Warren: Your stories benefited from a 3 book release one month after the other. The series started with The Husband Trap which featured a twin swap. I don’t like Twin Swaps so I skipped it. The second book, The Wife Trap, featured the villian of The Husband Trap. The villian was the twin(…)

Dear Authors: I love sports. Really love sports. I listen to ESPN at work everyday. We purchase the MLB Ticket, the NFL Ticket, the NBA Ticket. ESPN is on every night. This is itemized to tell you that one of you isn’t going to be real happy with my review because it was glaringly obvious(…)

Dear Ms. Heath: I was lured into buying your book by positive reader comments and a $1.00 off coupon from Borders. I really have to work on the whole willpower thing. You see, I haven’t really been happy with you since you began transporting your characters from Texas to the Ton. I suppose in an(…)

Dear Ms Michaels, I should have trusted my first instincts about this book. Instead, I let myself be lured by one good review into spending $7 on it. Bad move on my part. I think I will be skipping all the subsequent books in your series about 7 orphans who are adopted by an eccentric(…)

Dear Romantica (TM Ellora’s Cave) authors: In the last week, I have read a series of threesome books. Ellora’s Cave has them so nicely grouped for me and based on a couple of other reader recommendations, I read 6 (3 in one anthology) before I was menage a trois-ed out. When I picked them out(…)

Dear Ms. Leto: I really liked your book Dirty Little Secrets so I thought I would pick this one up. I thought it was a waste of my $3.00, frankly. And I think a book really has to be a stinker to not be worth $3.00 (although I was disappointed that I wasted the time(…)

Dear Ms. Skully: The problem with ebooks and a reader like me who likes instant gratification is that sometimes I buy books on impulse without giving it much thought or research. In some cases (see letter to Ms Davis below) that works. In others, like yours, I just regret the whole time and money wasted(…)
