Dear Ms. Morgan, I’m always on the lookout for a new book by you, and when I saw that your latest Presents release was the first of a new series featuring a number of prominent authors, I was hooked at once. Released as the Bad Blood series in the UK, the Notorious Wolfes comprise eight(…)

Dear Ms Arnold, “Barefoot in the Grass” is a novel I’ve heard a lot of good things about over the years. First pubbed in 1996, I think that the use of this issue as the main theme of a romance book was more notable then than it is today but I want to say kudos(…)

Dear Ms. Duran, To my way of thinking, a new book by you is always a cause for celebration, given that your previous books have all earned A minuses or B pluses from me. So I sat down to read A Lady’s Lesson in Scandal with high hopes – hopes that were luckily not disappointed.(…)

Dear Ms. Goode, I requested your book from NetGalley because it was labeled LGBT and YA. The pickings are slim for that kind of material there and I’ve been on the lookout for a gay teen romance. Sister Mischief isn’t a romance, but it’s a damned fine YA novel so I wasn’t disappointed. This is going to be a long review,(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon, You are so well known for your series that some readers may be less familiar with your stand-alone books. I’ve done my part to avoid this possibility, and I was delighted to see that you were releasing a new stand-alone novel. Come Unto These Yellow Sands, like last year’s Fair Game, features an academic(…)

Dear Ms. Merrow. I have historically said I don’t read werewolf books, but when I saw your name, I said to hell with that rule (again). I love your short stories and was just thrilled to see a longer story by you. And wow, was it worth it. You are (obviously) English, you make no(…)

Dear Ms. Dellin, I had read some of your older historical novels when I first got back into reading romance lo these 15 years ago and, hate to say it but, though they were good, they didn’t set me on fire. The description of this book as the beginning of a “heartwarming new series” didn’t(…)

Dear Ms. Stacey: Robin read and reviewed your first two books. I agreed with Robin’s first book grade, but skimmed the second one. Hated the heroine, really. Sorry about that. When Angela James sent me Yours to Keep, I confess to being a bit leery of it. But Angie was very excited about it and(…)

Dear Ms. Zheng. Dianne Fox recommended this book on her LiveJournal and since she’s part of my “trust network” and I was intrigued by the description — “seriously fantastic” and “dark and gritty and wrenching” — I went out and bought it. And oh, am I glad I did. Tomas is a stripper and a(…)

Dear Ms. Harrison, I went back and forth with Jane as to whether to write a review of Dragon Bound. Jane had written a bit about it already for the contest and it is one of her May Recommended Reads, but I felt that the book deserved a second look, so here I am. Be(…)

Janine: I’ve been hankering for Nalini Singh’s Kiss of Snow ever since I realized Hawke would be paired with Sienna, and was so excited to receive the ARC that even though I was in the middle of two other books, I dropped them to read this one the day I got it. When I had(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon, It’s no secret around here that you are one of my autobuy authors. Amazingly, however, I have not yet read every single one of your stories. Snowball in Hell was originally published in 2007; this edition is a slightly revised version. It is a standalone novel, shorter than Fair Game or the(…)

Dear Ms. Frazier, After I admittedly adored your YA debut novel of last year, Everlasting, I have been looking forward to this book. Middle grade books have started to appeal to this reviewer, and it pleased me to see an author of historical novels taking them into the middle school aged audience. YA is said(…)

Dear Ms. Canham, When I started reading romances again and discovered your books “The Wind and the Sea” was like the Canham Holy Grail. Long OOP, copies were prized and VHTF. I remember finding mine in a USB and fighting to stay casual as I took my purchases to the cashier – kind of like(…)

Dear Mr. Rothfuss, By February I had heard enough people mention how eagerly they were awaiting the sequel to your first novel, 2007's The Name of the Wind, that I was intrigued and decided to pick up the first book in the series. The Name of the Wind begins this way: "It was night again.(…)
