Dear Ms. Dare: You are well known for your cute toy filled book trailers (Stud Club Trilogy / Maya Banks’ Highlander Trilogy) and I was tempted to do a lego review for this book. After all, I have a castle. I bought some canons. I have minifigs where the girl’s boobs look like they are busting out(…)

Dear Ms. Cooper, Anyone who follows you, me or Jane on twitter or who read this probably caught the tempest in a teacup over the disappearing book. For those who haven’t a clue as to what I’m referring: Jane was looking all over for Blood of the Wicked, and realized that she probably sent it(…)

Dear Ms. Quinn, When Jane sent me the arc of your upcoming book “Just Like Heaven,” I was torn. On the one hand, it’s a Julia Quinn book and I’ve adored so many of your past books. On the other hand, some of your most recent books haven’t worked for me. I think the last(…)

Dear Ms. Campbell: In your first book, Claiming the Courtesan, I really liked the mix of angsty melodrama with a fresh review of some well-worn genre stereotypes. That mix of old and new kept me reading your books, but with this new one, Midnight’s Wild Passion, it seems the novelty has worn off. I’m not(…)

Dear Ms. Long: I have had kind of an on-again, off-again relationship with your books. I adored Like No Other Lover but was pretty meh about The Perils of Pleasure. So when I saw What I Did For A Duke on NetGalley, I figured I'd give it a shot but had no particular expectations about(…)

Dear Ms. Guhrke: Although I'm not always a fan of the back-to-back book release, in the case of Wedding of the Season and Scandal of the Year, I appreciated being able to follow up Will and Beatrix's story with Julia and Aidan's. Although their match-up was anticipated by the first book, they are, in many(…)

Dear Ms. Guhrke: When I read a couple of books in your bachelor girls series, I wasn't sure your historical voice was compatible with my reader's ear. Then Jane started urging me to read your new back-to-back releases, which are set a few (crucial) years later, starting with Wedding of The Season. And I am(…)

Yesterday, I received an email from HarperCollins that it was shuttering its ebookstore (used to be called PerfectBound) as of November 19 and that customers would only have until December 19, 2010 to redownload their purchases. After the December 19, 2010, date, titles purchased through the HC eBook Store would not be accessible. (I thought(…)
