Dear Ms. Harris: Thank you for sending me your book for review. I suspect my review will solidify rumors that I just do not like erotic romance. I don’t believe that that’s true but I do find many erotic romances to be problematic. This is because I require some emotional connection to accompany the physical(…)

Dear Ms. Copeland: Here’s the deal. At the end of Undressing Mercy, there was an excerpt from “after hours”. It looked kind of interesting. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until the end of the first story that I realized this was an anthology. Fuckity fuck. Night Moves. Brendan Jordan is normally the guy who gets the looks(…)

Dear Ms. Betts: What to say. Your contribution to the Pure Sex anthology featured a contemporary heroine whose work/relationship dilemna was spot on. Your three story collection here featured heroines in different states of sexual abuse. Oh sure, I get what you were trying for: forced sex fantasies are supposedly the hallmark of the repressed(…)

Dear Ms. Lee: This was the first book that I read by you and the writing was good enough to get me to hunt down and purchase some of your backlist titles. I only wish that you or your publisher had told buyers that this book had already been released as an ebook with LooseID(…)

Dear Authors: I’ll be straight up and cut to the chase. This is the first anthology I have liked in a . . . . well, I can’t remember the last time I really enjoyed an anthology. Even though there were some quibbles I had with each story, overall, I felt that they were hot,(…)

Dear Readers: A couple of days ago, I blogged about Aphrodisia and its attempts to have its Erotica line pimped as romance despite the line editor’s statements in an interview which seems to suggest that no HEA is required for these stories.
