Dear Ms. Morgan, I’m always on the lookout for a new book by you, and when I saw that your latest Presents release was the first of a new series featuring a number of prominent authors, I was hooked at once. Released as the Bad Blood series in the UK, the Notorious Wolfes comprise eight [...]

Dear Ms. Goode, I requested your book from NetGalley because it was labeled LGBT and YA. The pickings are slim for that kind of material there and I’ve been on the lookout for a gay teen romance. Sister Mischief isn’t a romance, but it’s a damned fine YA novel so I wasn’t disappointed. This is going to be a long review, [...]

The rub was that I hate reading series out of order. What’s an anal reader to do but backtrack and get the first book in the Burgundy Club series, The [...]

Dear Ms. Lennox, My first experience with one of your books was so successful, I’ve been bagging your backlist at eHarlequin. But for my next choice, I decided to go with this upcoming release. I mentioned in another review that I’m a softie for animals so when I saw that this book featured a heroine [...]

Dear Mr. Lanyon, You are so well known for your series that some readers may be less familiar with your stand-alone books. I’ve done my part to avoid this possibility, and I was delighted to see that you were releasing a new stand-alone novel. Come Unto These Yellow Sands, like last year’s Fair Game, features an academic [...]

Jess Cofer isn’t fixing for a fight. All the single mom wants is to run her fly fishing shop and preserve unspoiled Phelps Cove, Florida, for future generations. Too bad Dan Hamilton doesn’t see it that way. It looks as if the tall, dark and sexy surgeon is in favor of handing over the endangered [...]
