Dear Ms. Apodaca, I’m not sure where to begin with this letter. Just moments ago I finished your newest release from the Brava line, Extremely Hot. I should mention that I’m a fan of Brava books. I find that I’ll forgive those that are a little light on plot if they make up for it [...]

Ladies, This is the second book I’ve read in your series set in the minuscule west Texas town of Salt Lick featuring the dynamic duo of hair stylists Debbie Sue Overstreet and Edwina Perkins-Martin. And while I still love all the titles of the books, this one fell far short of book one in the [...]

A week ago I pounded out an article that I was going to offer up as my guest blog post for the Love of Reading Book Fair. It was all about how tension between print reviewers and bloggers is unnecessary because blogging fills the niches that print reviewers don’t have the space or inclination to [...]

Dear Ms. North: Ned opens the packages at our house and when he opened the Avon November 2007 box and saw this book, he proffered his opinion on the plot. “This book,” he said holding up the novel with its cover toward me, “is about a guy whose been having sex with a married woman [...]

Dear Ms. Napier: As far as I know, this was the first Harlequin Presents I read, and honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. I had an image of a big, blustery alpha male with a winsome, young heroine, a combination both central to and ubiquitous in both category and single title Romance. Fortunately, Mistress [...]

Ladies, Who doesn’t enjoy reading about a wedding? Especially one in Paris? Or the romantic city of Paris as you all felt compelled to repeat several times in each story just to make sure we got it. I got it though I did wonder if some French board of tourism had bribed you all to [...]

Dear Mr. Beaumont, While reading another of your books, “The E Before Christmas” I was in stitches. This book had me almost crying as I watched yet another “train wreck” occur for a British ad agency. The scene is mainly on the set of a brill TV advert for tyres (tires to us Americans) which [...]

Dear Ms. Holquist: I was skeptical that I was going to like this book given the back cover copy, the title and the concept. It just sounded too hokey, too precious. If it wasn’t sent to me for free, I don’t think I would have read it because I wouldn’t have bought it. However, what [...]

Dear Ms. Ward: I’ve referred to you as romance crack before. Your books are addictive, like a pharmaceutical grade narcotic, that makes a reader hot for the next book before the current book is even concluded. Unfortunately, I think I got a bad batch and wonder what I should do about it. On the one [...]

Dear Ms. Pace, Your first book “If Andy Warhol Had a Girlfriend” was one of my nice surprises for 2005. I didn’t read “Pug Hill” but when Jane told me we had a copy of Through Thick and Thin, I was game to try it. These days, the Isley sisters’ sense of camaraderie isn’t what [...]

Dear Ms. Grant, I started reading your books with the first in “The Star King” series. I fell in love. They were fresh and different. The “Banzai Maguire” book didn’t work as well for me though I applauded the risks you took. I had really hoped to enjoy “Your Planet or Mine?” but despite the [...]

Dear Ms Rhys, The theme of two people finding love who never expected to is a favorite of mine. And as I mature, I’m enjoying reading about older couples getting their shot at true love. And hawt sex to boot. Nory Douglas finally decides to take a chance on finding out who she really is. [...]

Dear Mrs O’Connell, I’m still not sure what made me pick up your book in Waldenbooks and decide to try it. I can’t remember if it was turned out on the shelf or if it was just a lucky grab but I enjoyed reading it despite a few problems. I also intend to recommend it [...]

Dear Mrs Bond, I gotta love a woman who puts a review quote from her husband on the front of her book! Did you really make him read it? Bad you, bad, bad you. When Jane first sent me the arc, I didn’t realize it was actually book two in this series. Once the realization [...]

Dear Ms Gibson, In my last letter to you, I said I wasn’t as happy with I’m In No Mood For Love as I have with lots of your previous books. I’m a much happier camper after reading this book. I like the heroine, I like the hero, I like the heroine’s maloccluded cat. Maddie [...]
