Letting go is the first step to healing…or bringing it all crashing down. When an avalanche of books cuts off access to his living room, university librarian Jasper Richardson can no longer ignore the truth. His ever-growing piles of books, magazines and newspapers can no longer be classified as a “collection”. It’s a hoard,(…)

Dear E.K. Blair: I have been drawn to New Adult books lately in spite of the fact that I haven’t had the best of luck with the ones I’ve read. I was immediately wary of this book when, not a page into the prologue, the male protagonist muses to himself (the narrative in Fading is(…)

Dear Julie Cross: A few YA authors here and there have been writing stories that cross the boundaries of New Adult and Young Adult – they’re either a little on the mature side in characterization and/or situation to be YA for some publishers, or they’re a little younger in voice than other NA novels on(…)

Dear Ms. Willig, At this point in my reading of the “Pink Carnation” books, I don’t bother to put much effort into checking out the blurb because I already know I’m going to read the book. So beyond noticing the exotic sounding flower of this book’s title, I waded into it relatively blind. Recently we’ve(…)

Dear Readers, I’ve been reading mysteries for about as long as I’ve been reading romance, but until I started reading m/m romance I’d never heard of the late Joseph Hansen’s Brandstetter series, or at least not that I remember. That tells you something, because I’ve read some pretty obscure mystery series and I have various(…)

Dear Ms. Webber: If I did GIF reviews, this would be the perfect book for it because I’m not sure I can fully express my journey with this book using mere words. My first reaction at hearing about this book was trepidation. A story about Brooke and Reid and Dori? Did you hear my moans(…)

Dear Ms. Knox: If I’d read this a few weeks ago, news about the NSA would have come as no shock to me, since it’s obvious that someone has been spying on my marriage. “Spot-on” is a phrase that comes to mind for this novella — also, considering it’s a sequel in a genre literally(…)

Dear Ms. Stein: I see what you did there! I don’t think I’ve been so delighted by an erotic romance since — well, since the last time I read a Charlotte Stein book. This story takes the currently very popular set-up of wealthy, complicated, gorgeous BDSM aficionado and awkward, unawakened young woman, and puts the(…)

Dear Ms. Fraser: I wish I had read this on the Nook instead of the Kindle, because then I would have realized going in that it was less than 90 pages long, and been able to adjust my expectations accordingly. On the other hand, considering that when I looked down and realized I was almost(…)

Dear Ms. Florand: As I started this, wondering if it would grab me as much as the previous books in the series, I came across this line: “He had to form himself back up out of a puddle behind the counter after that laugh. He hoped he was subtle about it, and she didn’t realize(…)
