Dear Ms. Lin: I’m thrilled that you are writing this series and thrilled that Harlequin is publishing it and giving us such in-your-face Asian covers instead headless bodies that hint at its Eastern origins. I am not super familiar with this area of history and I read this story more as if it were a(…)

Dear Ms. Priest, I was first introduced to your work with Four and Twenty Blackbirds, your Southern gothic debut. I remember liking it but for some reason, I never picked up another book by you again. It happens. So when I saw this book pop up on NetGalley, I glanced at your backlist and was(…)

Dear Ms. Moorcroft, What caught my attention about this book is that you, and English author, are writing an American heroine. I’m so used to the reverse – especially historicals – that I wanted to see how well you’d pull it off. Um, still a few issues and / or word choices here or there(…)

Dear Ms. Sutherland and Ms. Labbe. Your book was pointed out to me by someone in my “trust network,” the description intrigued me, and I checked it out. I’m glad I did. The book was compelling, even if I had issues with it all the way through. I kind of cringe when I read historical(…)

Dear Ms. Krentz: My favorite thing about your books is the interaction of your main characters and your dry wit that seeps through the dialogue. ”Canyons of the Night” is set in the same world as the Jayne Castle series that involves glowing green alien artifacts, rezzed amber, and dust bunnies. The idea behind this(…)

Dear Ms. Coi: I’ve been interested in reading your work since I selected your short, Caged, to appear in the Agony / Ecstasy anthology. I tried one of your previous works (the name of which escapes me) and it didn’t work for me. I can’t remember the title or if I even finished it so(…)

Dear Ms. Lario: I requested this book from NetGalley based on the blurb over at BookPushers by MinnChica. This is an Entangled Pub book and the first that I’ve read from this Press. It looked like a very professional product. The epub was nicely formatted (with chapters and everything!) and didn’t have any glaring editing errors. My(…)

Dear Ms. Geary, I’ll be really, really honest – the entire reason I read this was simply because of all the reviews you have on Amazon. I picked up Matchmakers 2.0 when it was free several weeks ago, but I haven’t really had any inclination to read it. Then I was browsing Amazon and noticed(…)

Dear Ms. Fisher, You have a fair amount of self-published books up for sale. I think I tried one and enjoyed it, tried another and it wasn’t for me, though you have a nice, easy voice. When I was searching for self-published books to read, I ran across this one and purchased, as it was(…)

Dear Ms. Banks, Your erotic romances don’t really work for me. I’m not a fan of the one wife for four brothers scenario, and I tried a few others and they fell flat. When I heard you were coming out with a Highlander trilogy that was going to be a different kind of ‘Banks’ story,(…)

Dear Ms. Lee: I have talked with you on Twitter for several years now, and I even purchased another of your books from Amazon, but Carnal Secrets is the first of your books I sat down to read all the way through. For those people suspicious of self-published books, I am happy to report that(…)

Dear Ms. Ryan-Davis and Ms. Logan, I’ve never read anything by either of you before. I have seen the cover to your book on Amazon, but barely spared it a glance. It seemed like generic SF romance and the title seemed nice if unexciting. What caused me to purchase this book, you ask? Someone on(…)

Dear Ms. Lane, I am a long-time fan of the Harlequin Romance line, so when you offered Dear Author the opportunity to review your debut novel I was happy to volunteer. And when one of my favorite blogger-reviewers (and RWA Librarian of the Year!), SuperWendy, gave Soldier On Her Doorstep a positive review, the book(…)

Dear Ms. Kelley: My feelings at the end of this book were ambivalent. I liked a lot of it, but there were significant parts of the story that gave me pause. Sebastian and Charlie have been best friends for six years. They’ve seen each other through some difficult times and their friendship has never been(…)

Book #1: The Bride Wore Blue The cheesy title refers to the epilogue, but I’m glad I took the time to dive into The Bride Wore Blue. JD “Blue” Hazzard fell in love with Maggie “Stretch” Adams when they were teenagers, and his unrequited love has remained for fifteen years. He followed her career (she(…)
