I still think you write great sex scenes but the actual falling in love and character arcs(…)

Dear Ms. LaBrecque: On the first page days, people always complain about books not starting in the right place and I felt that way about this book. Chapter one could have been told to us in two sentence. “Delphi Reynolds lost the best job she had ever had when her piece of shit boss came(…)

Dear Ms. Camden: One of my favorite romances is The Nekkid Truth, a novella in the anthology “Big Guns Out of Uniform.” For the longest time, that novella was the only published thing to your name and I’ve recommended it frequently. I’ve even told people that the novella was worth the entire price of the(…)

Dear Ms. Parr: I get the sense from the various internet reviews that people either love this book or hate it. I fall into the latter category. It’s not that I didn’t hate it so much as I wasn’t convinced at the end of the story that the two protagonists actually belonged together. It’s sold(…)

Dear Ms. Kent: I’m not sure where I received the recommendation for your book but I do remember I picked it up because it was free. Ordinarily the premise – male prostitute – wouldn’t appeal to me but from the opening scene I was hooked. The heroine, Lori Addison, is a virgin and she’s having(…)

Dear Ms. Aycart: It may have been a mistake for me to read this because while I had read a previous book in this series (Heavy Issues) it was not the book featuring the main couple in “Inked Ever After.” Thus I was lost. “Inked Ever After”, I learned after some research, is actually the(…)
