Dear Ms. Usen: I bought this book while it was on sale, the reviews convincing me that it would be a fresh contemporary read. It largely lived up to the positive reviews with some exceptions. In the past, I haven’t been overly interested in the chef hero even though I love the show, Top Chef. (…)

Brie says: I am recommending this book because I recommend this book because the hero is a prostitute, which happens to be my favorite type of hero, closely followed by virgin heroes (I also love everything in between *grins*). If that’s not enough, I should say that the story is touching and has the right(…)

Dear K. A. Tucker: I enjoyed Ten Tiny Breaths but I’m not sure I fully bought into the resolution of the story. It’s a New Adult book set in Miami as two young women try to make a life for themselves absent parents or guardians. Kacey Cleary moves herself and her sister, Olivia, to Miami(…)

Dear Ms. Forman: Thanks to Jane’s foray into the genre last year, I’ve grown curious about New Adult novels. I’ve given a couple a try within the past month and the results have left me rather dubious. That said, I’ve enjoyed novels featuring older teens who are graduating or have just graduated from high school.(…)

Dear Ms. Dellin, Last year the first book in the Honey Grove series was one of my surprise hits making my sparse Top Books list. I was so eagerly awaiting this follow up that I haunted your website and Amazon watching for word of its release. When I finally saw that the e-arc was available,(…)

Dear Ms. Alexander: I’ve been enjoying the H.O.T. (the Hostage Ops Team) Cops series even though each book has presented an issue that has prevented me from fully embracing the books. This story features Rogan Wolfe, a former H.O.T. cop who left his friends in Michigan to take a job down in South Beach. In(…)

Dear Ms. Fichera: This story had so much wasted potential. Fred Oday lives on the reservation. Her mother is an alcoholic. Her brother is working for a gas station, doing some minor repairs on cars. Her father is the groundskeeper of the golf course at the country club. One summer, the boys’ varsity golf team(…)

Dear Ms. Kolee: Your first book featured a possessive, jealous hero who in real life should be locked up far away from real women. (For the record, I enjoyed this book but the hero is creepy). This story does not follow the same path and some readers looking for the jealous, possessive hero fix might(…)

Dear Ms. Harrington, Chocolate seems to be the new “thing” in romance books. And here we have luscious, organic, single estate, premo, “to die for” chocolate. Chocolate that makes chocolatiers swoon with delight and weep with envy – if they don’t have access to it. We also have a hero convinced of the wonder of(…)

Dear Ms. Howard: After enjoying Running Wild, your collaboration with Linda Winstead Jones, I felt perhaps you had gotten your writing mojo back. While Running Wild wasn’t the Howard writing of pre Open Season, it was still an improvement over the last several hardcovers. In the year’s previous hardcover release, we were even treated to(…)

Dear Tara Sue Me: I picked this book up at Amazon after being somewhat intrigued by the premise. I’ll freely admit that while I disliked 50 Shades of Grey, I was captivated by the “the love of a billionaire” trope. I found out after reading your book that it is also Twific. I found it(…)

Dear Sarah Mayberry I’m a Kiwi, and wherever possible, I like to buy and read books that support local authors, especially when they are set in New Zealand or Australia. For the sake of good fiction, I’m even prepared to overlook the long-standing antipathy between our two countries, and support Australian authors as well (although(…)

Dear Ms. Carmack: After reading this book, I am starting believe that the professor/student kink is a real and popular thing. Not having any professors at my school that I thought were particularly lust worthy, it’s not one I understand given that the consequences to discovery of such an action basically ruination for the professor.(…)
