Dear Ms. Milan: Toward the end of the review it is going to sound like I didn’t like this book but that would be the wrong impression. I did like this book. I liked it but in a lot of ways I found Mark, like his older brother Ash, to be almost saintly in his [...]

Dear Ms. Tenorio: I recall reading and enjoying one of your earliest works, but since then I confess that nothing has quite struck my interest like the first one. When you sent me All of You, I opened it to read the first page, which is what I do with nearly every book sent to [...]

Dear Ms Allain : Thank you for sending me this book for review. I am a big fan of the traditional regency which is what I would categorize this novel as. The key to a successful traditional regency is the total immersion of the reader into the time period which is well done in Mr. [...]

Dear Ms. Edwards: Thank you for sending me this book. I confess I tried to read this book many times, never making it out of the first few chapters. The heroine, Miranda Wake, a food critic, gets drunk at a restauraent premiere and makes some very loud and rude remarks. She then insults the chef, [...]

Dear Ms. Wells: It’s hart to recommend a funny book because everyone’s idea of funny is different. Jayne didn’t love Between the Sheets and I would be hardpressed to argue that she would like How to Score. I did, however, enjoy this book and I’ll try to articulate why I liked it so readers can [...]

Dear Ms. Higgins: For longtime readers of Kristan Higgans (which I suppose is only a few years), Too Good to Be True represents an interesting flip on the plot of Fools Rush In which appears to be your debut book with Harlequin. Fools Rush In is the story of a girl who falls in love [...]

Dear Ms. Sorenson: I have read your category novels and thus I was excited to make the transition to full length mass market novels. This book had very real characters and very steamy love scenes. I found the suspense to take kind of a back seat to the deception/romance story and that, at times, [...]

Dear Ms. Michaels: I think I bought this book because I wanted to read a science fiction space opera fantasy romance thingy or I may have bought it because someone recommended you, as an author, to me. One of the two. I’m thinking it was the latter because as I re-read the blurb at Fictionwise, [...]

Dear Ms. Banks: As I explained in my previous review, I hadn’t expected to read you again based upon my past experiences, but this book hit my doorstep at just the right time. I had had a rough day at work and just wanted to lay down on the sofa for a few hours and [...]

Dear Ms. James: I am just a simple reader. I understand that you like to write books with subtle clues and hints as the character evolves. But because I am a simple reader, your subtle clues and hints went way past me. Let’s look at your recent contribution to the historical romance market. Your writing [...]
