Dear Ms. Sullivan: Let’s file this under “setups matter” or at least they do to me. Nick was an absent husband and absent father, doing all he can to make more and more money. His ex father in law and owner of the business that Nick runs comes to him and tells him that Emily,(…)

Dear Ms. Greene: This is a reprint of a formerly published book. Interestingly some of the book has been updated to make it seem more modern such as references to text messaging and more current popular culture references and, possibly even the clothes although I wasn’t quite sure of the latter.** The set up has(…)

Dear Ms. Hewitt: My first thought when I started this book is “another Balfour sisters’ story.” I feel like I’ve read a dozen of them so far. Surely Mr. Balfour couldn’t have fathered all these women, right? Right. Zoe, who thought she was a Balfour all her life, turns out to be illegitimate, but raised(…)

Dear Ms. Graham: When I start reading this book I was pleased to see that it was a billionaire from some other region than Italy, Greece, London or Spain. Instead we are treated to a Russian billionaire. I have fond memories of Russian billionaires. One of my favorite Lindsay books is Secret Fire. I know(…)

Naughty Nights in the Millionaire’s Mansion by Robyn Grady. This book violated the number one HP principle. It was boring. By chapter five (which is about the half way point in an HP), I noted that there was amost no conflict and that the biggest issue thus far was the heroine being coy about whether(…)

Dear Ms. Kleypas: Sometimes I think I’m the only one who didn’t love your first two contemporary romances.I liked Liberty and Hardy, but I became so attached to them that certain things like Hardy’s uneven characterization and Liberty’s choice in men left me dissatisfied. Smooth Talking Stranger was a chance to start anew with two(…)

Dear Ms. Mayberry: I have to start out this review by admitting my personal bias. I am not a huge fan of kids in romance books, or at least how they seem to be generally characterized. While I am a mother myself, I do not believe that children are necessary to be fulfilled either as(…)

Dear Ms. Harper: I am a big fan of the Elizabeth Hoyt historicals. They are richly detailed with full bodied emotional depth. They are sometimes dark but have always delivered a satisfying read. I can see where writing fun contemporary romps would serve as a nice relief as well as allowing an author to stretch(…)

Dear Ms. Spencer-Fleming, My friend Keishon has been telling me for years to read this book. She’s a huge fan of your series featuring Episcopalian priest Clare Fergusson and police chief Russ Van Alstyne. Now that I’ve read In the Bleak Midwinter, the first book in the series, I can see why. The mystery at(…)
