Dear Ms. Brody, The premise of your novel, Unremembered, piqued my interest. My reading tastes have been shifting again and I’m feeling the desire to read more thrillers. Bonus points if they have a supernatural or science fiction bent. The mystery of an amnesiac girl trying to regain her memories and figure out her identity(…)

Dear Ms. Smith, I greatly enjoyed your YA historical novel, Flygirl, in which a young African American woman passes for white in order to join the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. I loved Ida Mae’s story, so when I saw that you had a new book out, a YA dystopian set(…)

Dear Ms. Kaye: I should have stopped reading when I realized that the two protagonists were named Storm and Breezy. Nothing good can come of this level of twee but instead of listening to my instincts, I read on. Breanna aka Breezy Collins has loved Storm Decker forever. He’s been off sailing his yacht, winning(…)

Dear Ms. Rice: I’m a big fan of your work and willingly paid $4.99 for this novella despite its brevity. While I enjoyed reading it, the novella was more of an interlude than a complete story. Stefano Leone is a judge working to bring one of Italy’s strongest mobsters to his doom. For three years,(…)

Dear Ms. Kennedy: I keep trying your non Samhain titles in hopes that I can find another winner but while this book started out with promise it fizzled after the first 1/3. The hero, Luke Dubois, is staking out a club and falls for one of the strippers. Olivia Taylor is thought to be the mob(…)

Dear Kimberly Lang: This was originally published under the Harlequin Mills & Boon Modern line and before the creation of Harlequin Kiss would probably be sold through the Harlequin Presents line and marked as an extra. I’m not certain what to think of the Kiss line but it appears to be a North American version(…)

Dear Ellen Oh: I’m on an endless quest to find traditional fantasies featuring worldbuilding not based on Western culture. This desire is not without its pitfalls, of course. Sometimes it’s led me horribly awry. But I keep trying because I’m hopeful (and stubborn). My first exposure to your writing was through the Diverse Energies anthology.(…)

Dear Ms. Dellin, Last year the first book in the Honey Grove series was one of my surprise hits making my sparse Top Books list. I was so eagerly awaiting this follow up that I haunted your website and Amazon watching for word of its release. When I finally saw that the e-arc was available,(…)

Dear Ms. Essex: A Breath of Scandal is the second in your The Reckless Brides series. I didn’t especially like the first in the series, Almost a Scandal (I gave it a C+.) and I liked this one even less. A Breath of Scandal opens with the funeral of Antigone Preston’s father. Antigone adored her mathematician father(…)

Dear Ms. Howard: After enjoying Running Wild, your collaboration with Linda Winstead Jones, I felt perhaps you had gotten your writing mojo back. While Running Wild wasn’t the Howard writing of pre Open Season, it was still an improvement over the last several hardcovers. In the year’s previous hardcover release, we were even treated to(…)

Dear Ms. Bradford : This book focused on the wrong romance. In the last of three stories about the Wylder sisters, the youngest and fairest daughter of the Earl of Hervey is paired off with the Earl of Crump. With her oldest two sisters married off, Diana has been partaking of society, pushing the boundaries(…)

Dear Ms. Carmack: After reading this book, I am starting believe that the professor/student kink is a real and popular thing. Not having any professors at my school that I thought were particularly lust worthy, it’s not one I understand given that the consequences to discovery of such an action basically ruination for the professor.(…)
