Dear Ms. Andre, Though I haven’t been the most effusive in reviews of your books in the past, I admit that you are one of my go-to authors. Your books are easy, sexy reads and almost always seem to hit the right spot. There’s a certain suspension of belief required to enjoy the books, but(…)

Dear Ms. Ranney, They were a pair, weren’t they? The earl who’d divorced his wife, and the maid who hid her past. Perhaps they deserved each other. I enjoyed your latest book A Scandalous Scot. It’s a straightforward love story–a Cinderella story, really–between a smart, competent woman and a compassionate, passionate man. The plot made(…)

Dear Ms. Stasse, Ah, the dystopian subgenre. For something touted as the new vampire, it wore out its welcome fairly quickly, didn’t it? Despite the popularity of the recent Hunger Games movie, I remain skeptical that it’ll see a resurgence in popularity. I’m still willing to give the subgenre a try because you never know,(…)

Due to the nature of the plots of this series, spoilers in the reviews are unavoidable. Dear Ms. Cantrell, Each summer I eagerly look forward to the newest installment of this series. So far Hannah Vogel has ducked and dodged her way through the increasing tension and rising tide of National Socialism of 1930s Germany,(…)

Dear Ms. Davitt and Ms. Snow, I enjoy your contemporary romance collaborations and was interested to see how you would approach an enemies-to-lovers story, especially one with the added twist of an unexpected deserted island interlude. While the romance didn’t entirely convince me, I found the cast of characters were fun to spend a few(…)

Dear Ms. Bell, I decided to read Bear Necessities after seeing the cover for book 2 in the Halle Shifters series, Cynful, which features a truly beautiful American Indian man with long hair. It’s a striking cover, and was enough to pique my curiosity about the series. Alexander Bunsun is a grizzly bear shifter. He’s(…)

Dear Ms. Clare, I was interested to read your I-Team novella, Skin Deep (I-Team 5.5) for two reasons. The first is, in general, I’ve enjoyed the series. I loved the last book, Breaking Point (reviewed here by Jane), and I’ve grown invested in the lives of the men and women the series features. Secondly, I(…)

Dear Ms. Clare, You can count me among those who hopefully waited for Conner's story for all these years. Despite the faux Brogue which usually drives me screaming around a bend when I encounter it. Despite how much the books seem taken – at least in parts – directly from “Last of the Mohicans.” Despite(…)

Dear Ms. Martine: The thing I appreciated the most about this book was that it was different. The world building presented a somewhat unique twist. Gwen Carroway is part of a massive corporation known as the Company. They sell a special concoction called Mendacia that works like a glamour, fooling the human eye into believing(…)

Dear Ms. Altman: I wasn’t sure I was going to read this book but Brie asked me if I would take a look at it after we briefly discussed soldiers marrying their friends’ widows. That’s not what this story is about. It’s about a storyline I’ve never read before. Corporal Reid Macfarland sought out Parker(…)

Dear Ms. Doller: This book was recommended to me by Racblog (http://romance-around-the-corner.blogspot.com/) who knows I’ve been reading more New Adult books. I’m using the term “New Adult” which I believe was originally coined by St. Martin’s Press. The period references that post high school, on the cusp of adulthood time period. In some sense, these(…)
