We’re back with a new – and longer! – episode. This time around we’re talking about popular series in romance, specifically small town community romances for which I have a particular name. If you’ve ever wondered why it is that we so seldom choose a Save the Contemporary title, you’ll learn in this episode. We’ll [...]

Dear Ms. Griffin, When reading your romantic suspense books, one thing I can count on is that the underlying reason for the suspense plot won’t be too far out in Never Never land. Perhaps there might be a slight lift of my eyebrow or the beginnings of a question on my face but overall, the [...]

Dear Ms. Newmar: I had almost forgotten I had read this book until the bull semen news story jogged my memory. I think I was purposely trying to repress it. I understand that this series published by Siren and books like it featuring multiple “heroes” are very popular and are earning you all tons of [...]

Dear Ms. Harrington, This is the second charming book I’ve read of yours I’ve read. The CEO hero isn’t a cad or bounder, the baker heroine is dedicated to what she does – and I’d love to try her strudel, the action is short, sweet and to the point and I had a good time [...]

Dear Ms. Vaughn and Ms. O’Shea: I have a soft spot for rock star heroes. I don’t know why, but I do. (Someone needs to write an ex-con rock star hero who now hooks or strips, or an ex-con, ex-stripper rock star, or something, and I’ll be ALL set.) So TWO rockstar heroes utterly intrigued [...]

Dear Ms. Lee: I have talked with you on Twitter for several years now, and I even purchased another of your books from Amazon, but Carnal Secrets is the first of your books I sat down to read all the way through. For those people suspicious of self-published books, I am happy to report that [...]

Dear Ms. Michaels, Last year I gave the first two books in this series A- grades. And ever since then I’ve been eagerly waiting for Chessie’s chance to find her Mr. Perfect after being left at the altar by Mr. Asshole. Would there be revenge? Or public humiliation? Or would MaryLou work her matchmaking magic [...]

Dear Ms. Burton: As you know, I really enjoyed The Perfect Play. I love football and I felt like the story captured elements of the athlete hero fairly well. It was scorching hot and had a believable love story with a great heroine. I knew from hints within The Perfect Play and by the included excerpt that [...]

Dear Ms. Reavis, The books which make up this series have been favorites of mine for years. First published in the late 1990s, they’ve also been out of print for about that long so I was delighted to notice them among the Harlequin Treasury reissues. I hope that this will allow more people to try [...]

Dear Ms. LeGarmo: I bought this book based its placement on the Romance Kindle bestseller list, the sample and the 25 reviews, most of which were positive. It’s told in the first person but that has never deterred me before. The best part of Hooking Up is the sample which was entertaining enough for me [...]

Dear Ms. Choi: I had been wanting to read Hello Kitty Must Die for a while, and when I found out it was free at the Amazon Kindle store, I enthusiastically acquired and read it. In some ways, it was precisely what I expected: a dark, biting, satirical revenge fantasy. In other ways, though, it [...]

Dear Ms. Aedin, Sunita: I wasn’t familiar with your work when I read the synopsis and excerpt of this book, but it grabbed my attention immediately. How does a man deal with a tragic event that not only robs him of his partner, but turns him into a spokesman for the gay community? How does [...]

A free-spirited man-of-all-trades, Jack takes life as it comes—not at all like his supremely organized mother, the admiral’s widow, and his methodical lawyer sister. Amy, a professional athlete with exquisite taste and golden beauty, has a glamorous career a world apart from her bookish [...]

Dear Ms. Mullany, I have enjoyed your witty historical romances quite a bit, and liked your historical erotic romance (written as Jane Lockwood) as well, though I had a few issues with it. So I was more than happy to hear that you had a new book out, even if contemporaries aren’t really my first [...]
