Dear Ms. Dimon, Ms. Barth, and Ms. Burton: Carina Press’s holiday anthologies are fast becoming autobuys for me. I was sorry there was no m/m anthology this year, but this entry in another favorite subgenre of mine, contemporary romance, made up for it. As is often the case, especially with two out of three new-to-me(…)

Dear Ms. Kelly: Angela James mentioned on Twitter she was reading something really good from Harlequin and I reminded her she had my Kindle address. A few moments later, a book by you appeared on my device. The magic of technology! Angie was right. Never Stay Past Midnight was a sexy contemporary with good meat(…)

Dear Ms. James, There’s no easy way to say this so I guess I’ll just come right out and get it over with. The bloom is off the rose. The last second basket rattled off the rim. I don’t love this book the way I’ve loved some of your other books. That hurt me to(…)

Dear Ms. Quinn, I keep meaning to try more self-published books, but I admit I get overwhelmed by sheer amount available. There’s so much out there that I just don’t know where to start. I have no idea how January does it. But when you offered your novel up for review, the premise and excerpt(…)

Dear Ms. Price, I’ve heard your name mentioned whenever readers talk about their favorite m/m mysteries and paranormals. You’ve even been the subject of an If You Like column here at Dear Author. But although I’ve read your first two sets of Petit Morts stories, I never read any of your own series or standalone(…)

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. James, I finally discovered you with the last book you wrote and got all excited when I noticed that Jane had already gotten your newest one, “A Lot Like Love” for us. Jane’s good about that. I can say that from the way I also enjoyed this one, it looks like we’re going(…)

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(…)

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. James, How do I like this book? Let me count the ways. I do like contemporaries and even the occasional romantic suspense but rarely do they combine as well as you’ve done with “Something About You.” And wow, even the cover model kinda looks like she’s wearing the dress you described. And how(…)

Dear Ms. Okati: I usually like your voice and Gay For You is a (very) guilty pleasure of mine (and yes, I get more and more and more guilty about it and will probably stop reading it soon because I can’t handle the guilt). So I was excited to see this book at Loose Id.(…)

A Black Tie Affair begins a series about the Smith sisters who are famously as beautiful as the “Cushing, Bouvier, and Miller sisters.” The Smith sisters have had a long history with the Clayworth’s of Chicago, the last event being the hasty termination of their father, former treasurer of the Clayworth department store. There are rumors that Mr. Smith was let go because of something shady and this only serves to foster negative feelings by the Smiths toward the Clayworths, or so we are told.
Athena Smith fell in love with Drew Clayworth and he with her. When his parents died in the Fastnet sailing race, Athena was there for him. Drew felt that Athena had betrayed him and their relationship ended.

Dear Ms. Merrill: Someone sent me an email pointing me to this blog post by Lani Diane Rich wherein she lamented that there was a great book out there that no one was reading. I was intrigued. I knew you wrote historicals for Harlequin but I admit to never having read you. While I don’t(…)

Dear Ms. Garnier: This is another book I don’t think I would have picked up on my own because author’s name made me think of the hair color. Huzzah for review copies. Antonia “Toni” Kearney and Grey Richards have been a couple for about two years. Grey had solicited Toni’s services as a logo designer(…)
