He’s used to getting what he wants A former football star and one of Chicago’s top prosecutors, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cade Morgan will do anything to nail a corrupt state senator, which means he needs Brooke Parker’s help. As general counsel for a restaurant company, she can get a bug to the senator’s table(…)

Dear Ms. Rose: In “Did You Miss Me?” part of the reason the romance works is because the characters have had unrequited feelings for each other prior to the start of the book. The romance in the story basically consists of coming to an understanding of those feelings so that the romance can swim underneath(…)

Dear Ms. Davitt and Ms. Snow: I thoroughly enjoy your books. So I was thrilled when I saw this one and I wasn’t disappointed when I read it. You have such consistently good writing, wonderful characters, and fabulous representations of BDSM. Austin and Jay are a committed couple, completely, madly, deeply in love with each(…)

Dear Ms. Force: You sent me Fatal Force a while back and I enjoyed it. When Love at First Flight was available on Amazon for free, I snapped it up. I waffled between whether I should review a book I got for free but I figured that no one would object if I positively reviewed(…)

Dear Ms. Barbosa, A while back you mentioned on Twitter that you were writing a series of four novellas, each written from one of four brothers’ first person POVs. The series is called The Gospel of Love because the brothers’ names are Luke, Mark, Matthew and John. I asked if these were Christian romances and(…)

Dear Ms. Higgins: Let me try to articulate in the beginning what I liked about this book because most of the review is going to be what I didn’t like. After I finished the book, I emailed a friend of mine and said that this book really disappointed me. It’s like everything I love about(…)

Dear Ms. Connor, I’m glad I didn’t read the back blurb for your latest Harlequin Intrigue before finishing it. Otherwise, I’d have thought it was just another “hero and heroine in close proximity fighting off sexual tension while some sadistic villain threatens her” type of book. Instead, I think it’s much better than that blurb(…)

Remember the Night (1940) Genre: Romance Grade: B+ Last year I did a “Favorites” list for Christmas inviting comments about it and readers’ own favorite movies. One that was recommended by Cristiane is “Remember the Night.” It took me a while to find a copy of it but I finally did. Then it took me(…)

Dear Ms. Donovan: It is no secret that I am a fan of your early books, especially Knock Me Off My Feet and Take A Chance on Me. The quirky characters, quirkier animals, semi-farcical situations, and likeable heroines all appeal to me. It is also no secret that I have not been as enchanted with(…)

“Kerry Anne MacBride and her quirky family are a package deal-’get one, you get them all. The high school art teacher is stubborn and fiercely protective of her kin, making her the absolute wrong woman for a straitlaced, hardheaded, by-the-books lawyer like Matt Lawrence, no matter how attracted she is to him. And anyway, now’s(…)

Dear Ms. Watt: I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this book to read, particularly given that the heroine was a lawyer. I almost never read books about lawyers because most authors take such liberties with the profession that I cannot suspend my disbelief. For the most part, though, the heroine’s career was(…)

Dear Ms. James, Something About You begins with a hilarious scene in which Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde, wanting nothing more than a little sleep, overhears some raunchy sex from the hotel room next door to her own. “Such a big, bad man! Right there, oh yeah-’right there, don't stop!” The pillow over her heard(…)

Dear Ms. Amara. I was reminded about your Holiday Outing by Jessica’s review of it at Racy Romance Reviews. I read Holiday Outing and enjoyed it, I think when it first came out, before I was reviewing. I especially loved the perfect depiction of a Jewish family, with all their lumps and bumps, but I(…)

Dear Ms. Wolff: I am ordinarily not a fan of the holiday focused book although I know that these are popular with many many readers (including my dear blogging partner, Jayne). However, I did enjoy your first book with Harlequin, A Christmas Wedding. That book contained quite a few out of the ordinary elements including(…)

Dear Ms. Davis: I picked up this book at B&N because of the cover. I bought it because of its premise and because I’m fascinated by full triad m/m/f menage books actually being sold in the romance section at bricks-and-mortar stores, so I wanted to support that. Once I did, the book was…well, okay. Nothing(…)
