“For straight-and-narrow art restorer Ardis Bellamy, a trip to the South of France to reclaim a historic blue diamond necklace should have been only mildly nervewracking. Understatement. In order to succeed, she’s going to have to learn whom she can and can’t trust, give the thugs who are chasing her the slip, and decide whether(…)

Dear Ms. Lennox, I first encountered your novels in the Harlequin Romance line. While I usually avoid books set in made-up principalities starring royal heroes like the plague, you managed to give your characters believable backstories and motivations. And when I went on to read your Medical Romances, you quickly became one of my favorite(…)

Dear Ms. Morgan, You have become of my autobuy, go-to authors, not just in category romance but as a writer of satisfying reads, full stop. The first book of yours I read was a Medical Romance in your Glenmore series, when M&B briefly made it available as one of their free reads. I enjoyed it(…)

Dear Mrs. Simonson, This may be your first published book but wow, just wow. I am in love with it and want to go around telling all my friends, my coworkers, total strangers on the street, almost everyone about it. I haven’t read too many A grade books this year but the wait for another(…)

Dear Ms. Barnes, Many moons ago, when Smart Bitches, Trashy Books hosted a bookchat for this book. I finished it a mere two hours beforehand, but I was so glad I did. The chat was amazing, but more so was the actual book. The bitchery and I discussed so many excellent topics for about it(…)

Janine: It's been roughly four years since the first time I read Mary Balogh's A Christmas Promise. At the time, I loved the book, so when I heard it was being reissued, I thought this would be a great time to review it. I felt a little trepidation though, because sometimes books I used to(…)

Mills & Boon is the UK arm of the Harlequin publishing house. I don’t understand the publishing schedule of books between Mills & Boon and Harlequin North America. What I do know is that buying from M&B is a losing proposition for me. You see, MB has this line called “Modern” which somewhat overlaps with(…)

Dear Ms. Cullinan. Joan/SarahF: I reviewed your Special Delivery and adored it. I also said at the end that the sequel was out and I was looking forward to reading it. I have to admit I tried to read it once, but it was too…busy? for that point in my mental health, or maybe I(…)

Dear Ms. Brook, The Iron Duke is a steampunk romance and it is very different in setting and genre from most of the romances I've read. It’s not really paranormal, but rather science fiction set in a partly-historical setting. A kind of "what if" world. What if nanotechnology had been invented by the Asian nation(…)

Dear Ms. Elliott, I first heard of your book while linkhopping across various reader blogs. I can’t tell you exactly where I learned of Cold Magic but the description stuck with me: an Afro-Celtic post-Roman icepunk Regency novel with airships, Phoenician spies, and the intelligent descendants of troodons. I later discovered this description was taken(…)

Dear Ms. Turner. I found this book by looking for your backlist after I fell into reading your new Loose Id release (that I will review when I’ve finished it). I finished this one first, though, because it’s shorter. And I couldn’t stop reading it. Connor works in a video store with his roommate Boyd.(…)

Dear Ms. Kephart, Writing this review has taken me a long time. Usually, I can write a review within a few days, because my feelings on the overall quality of the book are clear. However, there is always the occasional read that requires a long stewing before I can rightly form a review. Dangerous Neighbors(…)

Dear Ms. Reid: I was introduced to your work through the Blogger Bundle Volume II: WeWriteRomance.com Selects Presents that was released by Harlequin at the start of the year. I really enjoyed your work and after exhausting your digital backlist (which, at the time, was about 4 titles) I proceeded to hunt down most of(…)

Dear Mr. Wynn-Jones, Years ago, before I was on the internet or associated the word amazon with anything other than ancient female warriors, I used to get a book catalogue called “A Common Reader.” It was an eclectic mix of fiction and nonfiction with enticing descriptions which several times coaxed me into buying many books.(…)

Dear Readers, Burning Up is a new anthology of steamy paranormal novellas from Berkely. I almost never read or review entire anthologies, mainly because it takes me a long, long time to craft four mini-reviews, but in this case I was motivated to do so by my desire to try these stories, all of which(…)
