Dear Kimberly Lang: This was originally published under the Harlequin Mills & Boon Modern line and before the creation of Harlequin Kiss would probably be sold through the Harlequin Presents line and marked as an extra. I’m not certain what to think of the Kiss line but it appears to be a North American version(…)

Dear Ms. Banks: If the price of this book hadn’t been so cheap (99c) and I hadn’t been given a detailed description of the story and assurances that it wasn’t full of typos and grammatical errors, the cover alone would have deterred me. In fact, this is a book that would likely sell better without(…)

Dear Ms. Novak: I read the first in the Whiskey Creek series. It introduced us to a small town in California and a group of friends who have been connected since high school. They are close friends, up in your business, friends. They have conference calls and phone trees and none of your personal stuff(…)

Dear Ms. Stacey: I hate to tell you this but I was bored for most of the book. I don’t know if it was that I was reading a Christmas book post Christmas and thus all the holiday decorating, the trimming of the tree, the planning for a holiday party seemed tiresome and pre Christmas,(…)

Dear Ms. Morey: This book fits squarely into the Harlequin Presents paradigm. It features a wealthy man ruthlessly using his power and money to effectuate a result that suits him. The woman abases herself and enjoys it. Either this is a really terrible version of Harlequin Presents books or I have totally lost my taste(…)

Dear Ms. Julian: I requested your book because I’d seen a number of favorable reviews and I love an ugly duckling story, which, at first glance is what I thought this book was. Unfortunately, while the premise was promising, I found myself disengaged from the characters and found the action made the book quite easy(…)

Dear Ms. Ellisson: I’ve had pretty good luck with the Brazen line from Entangled Publishing so when this new release came out, I bought it immediately. I was even further thrilled to read that this book featured a fem dom, unfortunately the progression of Heather’s story left me with keen disappointment when the storyline abandoned(…)

Dear Ms. Lane: The spirit of the Western is infused by the warmth of community in this pro sisterhood story of a romance between a spinster librarian and a wealthy Texas businessman whose spirit has been broken. I couldn’t decide if this book was subversive or trying to reinforce traditional mores of female and male(…)

Dear Ms. Croix: I know that this story is marketed as an erotic romance and to complain about too much sex in an erotic romance might be like saying that there is too much science in science fiction but I wished for more character development and interaction between the characters outside of the bedroom. Reid(…)

Dear Ms. Clayton: When I don’t know what to read next, I admit that I prowl the Amazon bestseller lists in the hopes of seeing something that will catch my attention. Your book’s risqué cover certainly did, and I downloaded a sample. I was immediately charmed by your breezy, light-hearted voice and purchased despite being(…)

Dear Elizabeth Finn: This book came up on a list recommending New Adult books. It features a young female protagonist on the cusp of her majority and a young male protagonist attending law school. Rowan has won a prestigious ballet scholarship to the University of Michigan which will free her from her abusive and poverty(…)

Dear Ms. Wylde: I picked this up even though I had to buy it direct from the Ellora’s Cave site and even though I have never read you before (although my records indicate I purchased a book by you that was published in 2002, Price of Pleasure). The motorcycle club angle intrigued me as did the(…)

Dear Ms. Holly: You popped my erotica cherry WAY back in the day with your Black Lace release, Menage. I’ve always enjoyed your contemporary set erotica/erotic romances, but stopped reading your books as your paranormal voice did not work for me. So when a Dear Author reader suggested that I try this book, I jumped(…)

Dear Ms. Smith: I wanted to read this book but waited until it was out of hardcover (the price was too rich for me in hardcover). While I liked the voice, my problem with this book was the same as many other reviewers’ problem with this book. We spent 80% of the book listening to(…)
