SPOILER ALERT: THIS REVIEW HAS ‘EM! Dear Ms. Black, I will admit front and center that I never read Decadent, but I definitely did read the reviews and comments on both this site and Smart Bitches Trashy Books. I was intrigued by the reviews and comments, similar to how one is intrigued watching the slow-motion replays of(…)

Dear Ms. O’Keefe: I mentioned on Twitter that I wanted to try out more Harlequin Superromance authors and Larissa Ione suggested your books. I am so glad for the recommendation. Baby Makes Three is not a book I would have bought through ordinary browsing. Generally I am not a fan of books with babies, featuring(…)

Dear Ms. Edwards: Thank you for sending me this book. I confess I tried to read this book many times, never making it out of the first few chapters. The heroine, Miranda Wake, a food critic, gets drunk at a restauraent premiere and makes some very loud and rude remarks. She then insults the chef,(…)

Dear Ms. Rai: This is the first book of yours that I have read. I picked it because it featured a non caucasion protagonist; it had to do with cooking; and there were two hot guys in the story. I had mixed emotions at the end of the story. On the one hand I loved that(…)

Sayuri commented in my Harlequin (not so) Lightning Reviews last week that she enjoyed Sarah Mayberry. I bought three of her books at Fictionwise: Amorous Liaisons, Island Heat, and Anything For You. The thing I like most about Mayberry’s characters is their self honesty and the sense that these individuals could be real people. They(…)

Dear Ms. Holquist: I almost didn’t write this review because it was such a struggle for me to pinpoint why I didn’t respond well to it given that I liked The Sexiest Man Alive so much. Ultimately, I think I failed to connect to the hero and heroine in a "it’s not you, it’s me"(…)

Dear Ms. Mallery: When I was a kid, my brothers got the Boys’ Life magazine and on the back of the magazine, next to the Sea Monkeys advertisement (Oh, how I wanted that!) was the ubiquitous Charles Atlas 97 pound weakling ad. It was a cartoon that showed some guy getting sand kicked in his(…)

Dear Ms. Thomas, When I read your historical romance debut, Private Arrangements, in February of this year, I was enchanted. The note I wrote in my book log reads as follows: “Excellent, excellent debut. Beautifully written and characterized, and quite different from the usual historical romance (especially in allowing a heroine to be less than(…)

Dear Ms. Mallery: I’ve gone on a bit of a Mallery glom and the readers here will have to suffer along with me. Delicious is the second book I read in the Buchanan series. I read book 2, Irresistible, first. I’m not sure whether knowing the outcome of the story in Delicious affected my enjoyment(…)

Dear Ms. Crusie and Mr. Mayer: I have to admit that I was afraid to read your new Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer collaboration, Agnes and the Hitman. Your first book, Don’t Look Down never got off the ground for me, and Crusie’s other recent collaborative release, The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes, was not my luckiest(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts: Thanks for stopping by. How fortuitous since I picked up your book at Costco ($14.19) and read it this week. Angels Fall features Reece Gilmore, a young woman who suffered a terrible emotional trauma in Boston as she was just embarking on a career as a chef at one of the hottest(…)
