Dear Ms. McCoy, I came to your novel “For Me and My Gal” in a roundabout way. Somehow I was on another website about LGBT books – sorry, I honestly don’t remember which one – and came across a year by year listing of books which had received awards. Happily I began to peruse recent(…)

Dear Ms. Lin, I’ve read several of your other books and enjoyed them—I liked your novella “Capturing the Silken Thief” (reviewed here). I also liked “An Illicit Temptation” but didn’t love it—it felt incomplete to me. I bet, however, if I’d read the companion novel, My Fair Concubine (reviewed here), I would have appreciated your novella(…)

Dear Ms. Rowan: I admit passing this book over because lately historical romances have such a sameness to them, that I felt like I’ve read all the stories before. However, the review at JenniferRNN’s site intrigued me and I found the book on NetGalley, allowing me to try the book out for free. The heroine,(…)

Dear Ms. Towle: I found out about this book over at the Amazon forums. It’s one of the better places to discover self published books by authors that aren’t widely known. Part of the success of the book will rely on the reader’s ability to a) buy into an instant love between two childhood(…)

Dear Ms. Young: I think it was Angela James who told me to read this book. We’ve both been glomming on as many New Adult books as we can, mostly from the self published ranks. On Dublin Street isn’t necessarily Mature YA or New Adult or whatever we are calling it, but it has a(…)

Dear Ms. Sinclair, I’m pretty sure I’ve not read anything by you before. I saw Angela James talking about your book on Twitter and clicked over to Amazon to see whether the book might appeal to me. Threatened by university cutbacks, Professor Abigail Bern’s only hope is to publish a provocative research paper–soon. Planning to(…)

This was my first Kristen Ashley. I happened upon this book via Twitter, which is something that happens to me on an increasingly frequent basis. I follow a lot of romance readers and I buy what probably amounts to a ridiculous number of books just based on their conversations about the books they’re currently reading(…)

Dear Ms. Kennedy: I really love this series. It has a fun, sexy tone. My very favorite is the Carson / Holly romance in Heat of Passion (mini review here). It’s a novella but you pack a believable romance filled with super hot sex scenes. Feeling Hot is the romance between Jennifer, Carson’s little sister.(…)

Dear Ms. Stacey Your contemporary romances have become part of my “can’t wait to read” and my “don’t talk to me, I’m reading” lists. The story follows the eldest Kowalski brother Mitch, a demolitions expert, who returns to his hometown to help his youngest brother Joe out with the family lodge after Joe breaks his leg.(…)

Dear Ms. Cushman, The title of this book rang a bell when I saw it for sale. Since it has such a positive reputation and was a Newbery Honor book, I felt confident that it would be worth my time to seek out and try. I immediately fell for Catherine, called Birdy. But I also(…)

Dear Ms. Andrews: Sunita is usually our go to reviewer for medical romances but I saw this on NetGalley and wanted to give the book a whirl. This is a quick but emotional read. The two main protagonists are a previously divorced couple whose marriage disintegrated after the death of their son. They reconnect ten(…)

Dear Ms. Armstrong, All things must come to an end. That includes your Women of the Otherworld series. I can’t believe it’s been over ten years since we were first introduced to Elena, the only female werewolf in existence. And while I’ve liked some books more than others, I still consider this series to be(…)
