Dear Meredith Duran: I’ve been a Meredith Duran fangirl since The Duke of Shadows was published in 2008; none of your books has received less than a B+ from me. So naturally each new book is eagerly anticipated. For perhaps the first time, reading That Scandalous Summer, I ended up feeling…disappointed. Further, I’m not sure(…)

Dear Ms. Gaffney, When I heard the news that many of your romance titles were being released as ebooks by Open Road Integrated Media, I felt a pang of jealousy for those newer romance readers who would have the opportunity to discover your work for the first time. When the opportunity came to interview you, Jane(…)

Dear Ms. Belmond, Before I started this book, I hoped that my reading experience wouldn’t continue the pattern of the previous three books – loved “Inheritance,” thought “Engagement” was just okay, enjoyed “Invitation.” In other words, up then down then up then maybe down again. Well, I liked “Homecoming” but definitely not as much as(…)

The title is kind of gothicky, and I’ve always enjoyed a good gothic, so I was comfortable with that. And the first page tells me the story is set in Cornwall in 1813. As a great fan of both Daphne duMaurier and Winston Graham, I looked forward to another Cornish tale. Unfortunately, Secrets of Midnight didn’t stand(…)

Dear Ms. Justiss, Thank you for sending me a copy of your latest book, “The Smuggler and the Society Bride.” Despite it being the third full length book in the “Silk and Scandal” series, I found that I could jump right in without feeling I was missing vital information or at sea about who the(…)

Dear Ms. Beecroft: When Sarah Frantz recommended this book to me, I knew that agreeing to review it would finally ensure that I read one of your books sooner rather than later (review books take precedence over pure leisure books in my personal hierarchy of reading these days). That it is a contemporary made it(…)

Dear Ms. Williamson, For my inaugural review for Dear Author, I thought it would be nice to review an old favorite (my thinking being that then I wouldn’t have to sharpen my claws right away). Having been reminded of my fondness for "outsider" romances by a recent read (Meredith Duran’s excellent The Duke of Shadows),(…)

Dear Ms. Laurens: In the early days, I read your books the moment that they came out but after the 8th or 9th Cynster book, they began to lose their appeal to such a degree that when you made the move to hardcover, I left myself behind. Since the hardcover move, I’ve read only three(…)

Dear Ms Cach, While this isn’t one of my favorites, I still enjoyed it. I remember it being a departure from the other books you had published then by virtue of it having no paranormal elements, despite the title. However, as several reviews stated, a reader does need to suspend a little belief in order(…)

Dear Ms Bassett (aka Elizabeth and Julia Bass), The opening of “My Favorite Marquess” reminded me a lot of Laura Kinsale’s “My Sweet Folly.” Thank God your book stayed pretty good while that one ended up as a bit of a mess. Violet and Sebastian are two fantastic characters and the rest of the crew(…)
