Dear Ms. Hart: I have to start out by saying that those abs look faker than a Louis Vuitton knock off sold on Canal Street. Ahem. Cade is one of the MacKenzie brothers and I think I bought it because it was on sale. From the website, it appears that Cade is the last of(…)

Dear Ms. Evers: I think my expectations played a part in my dissatisfaction with this story. I was expecting something a little more serious and perhaps dark and angsty; but instead the relationship between the two came off as more flippant. Marc Wilde and Mistress Lauren are very good friends. They play at the same(…)

Dear Ms. Dryden: The Seduction Hypothesis is the sweetest book I’ve ever read involving stainless steel butt plugs and a spreader bar with a set of neoprene ankle cuffs. The hero Ben is just adorable. A few months ago he stupidly broke up with his now ex-girlfriend Lindsay because he’d panicked, an act he’s regretted since(…)

Dear Ms. Banks: When I heard you were publishing a “50-esque” trilogy, I knew immediately that it would be on my reading list. Although I have hit-or-miss luck with some of your books, you write dandy alpha males, and I love nothing better than your dominant males, so I was optimistic about this reading experience(…)

Connecticut Government proposes bill to require publishers to sell to libraries – Connecticut is the first state to propose a bill which would “require publishers of electronic books to offer e-books for sale to public and academic libraries at the same rates as offered to the general public. ” I’m not sure this is constitutional(…)

Dear Ms. Ellisson: I’ve had pretty good luck with the Brazen line from Entangled Publishing so when this new release came out, I bought it immediately. I was even further thrilled to read that this book featured a fem dom, unfortunately the progression of Heather’s story left me with keen disappointment when the storyline abandoned(…)

Dear Ms. Aicher: I’m not exactly sure why I tried this book because I’ve sworn off BDSM club stories. It’s become so de riguer for a BDSM story that I have nearly become convinced that it is part of the lifestyle, kind of like carriage sex in a Regency romance. Every BDSM practitioner everywhere must(…)

Dear Jodie Griffin: I was all over this book based on the blurb because there are so few femdom stories in romance. Bella Massey wants a guy who will submit to her in the bedroom and while gorgeous firefighter Marcus Aiello seems like an unlikely candidate, a little bedroom play indicates that he might be(…)

Dear Ms. Kinsey: I confess that my expectations of this book may have played a part in how I ultimately felt and my grade. If this is a romance, I don’t think it succeeds. If it is viewed as a police procedure/serial killer story, it’s a bit more successful. Red should be billed as an(…)

Dear Ms. Bradley/Berlin The art of tattooing is intriguing to me and I would love to read more romances where the artistry of tattooing plays an important role. Past books of yours have not interested me because many of them have a roman a clef tone to them which is not something I look for(…)

Dear Ms. Trace: A reader recommended this book to me and I can see the appeal of the younger female’s sexual curiosity being met by an older, desirable and experienced Dom. I could not overlook the problems sufficiently to enjoy the story. Nisey, while living at her parent’s house, encouraged her boyfriend, Derrick, to explore(…)

The following is a guest review from dri who you can find at http://aquandrian.livejournal.com I started pilfering Mills & Boons at the age of nine from a housemate who tactfully pretended not to notice, read every romance novel I could lay my hands on from SuperRomances to Victoria Holt to Barbara Cartland to Catch-22 (there was(…)

Dear Ms. Jacob. Readers: This book is hardcore, heavy-duty, almost-but-not-quite non-consensual BDSM. I hesitate to call it a romance and yet it really almost is. It’s total 24/7 dehumanization of the female submissive. It is NOT for everyone. I loved it and I heartily recommend it, but readers, please read my review before buying, because(…)

Dear Ms. Blevins, I read this book because the concept intrigued me: a female fighter who is also submissive and wants her dominant to be able to fight her for her submission and win. I’m always looking for maledom BDSM romance I can stomach, and this seemed like it might work. I did indeed enjoy(…)

Dear Ms. Joseph, Jane sent me your book and asked me to give it a try. She told me that she liked your writing style, but not the subject matter. Not knowing anything about this book other than it was erotica, I sat down to give it a spin and quickly found myself immersed in(…)
