Dear Mrs Beverley, Once again you manage to take an almost unbelievable plot and get me totally involved in it. This is book four of the Malloren series and truly exemplifies the unofficial Malloren motto: With a Malloren, all things are possible. Rosa, Lady Overton is in a fix. Well, actually everyone on her husband’s(…)

Dear Mrs. Beverley, Book three of the Malloren series takes up right where book two left off. With the Mallorens neck deep in intrigue and sophisticated plots. Lady Elfred Malloren has been pampered and over protected for all her 25 years by her four brothers. When fate leaves her alone in London with a married(…)

Dear Ms. Riley, After reading “The Oracle Glass” I knew I needed to look into getting your other books. I just wish more than “Vision of Light” were available as ebooks. Ah well, I’ll keep looking for others and in the meantime, I’ll point out to other readers that they need to buy this one.(…)

Dear Ms. Belmond, Reading “A Rather Lovely Inheritance” was kind of like stepping back in time and enjoying something by Mary Stewart. You know, one of her 50s and 60s mystery stories when the heroine gets swept up in something she never expected that’s kind of glamorous and a teensy bit dangerous and at the(…)

Dear Ms. Rosoff, When a book has won a slew of awards including ALA Best Books for Young Adults 2005 and Publishers Weekly Best Children’s Book of the Year, and has even been nominated for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, it hardly needs more accolades from me. Here I am regardless, writing this open(…)

Dear Ms. Linden, I was intrigued by the premise of your first novel, What a Woman Needs. Stuart Drake has to get his hands on some money, and he has to do it fast. After becoming embroiled in not one but two scandals, neither of his own making, Stuart was cut off from his allowance(…)

Dear Readers, Allardyce wrote books set mostly in the mid 18th century and the closest description I can come up with is that they are trad Georgians. Her style is older and more reminiscent of Sheila Bishop. Usually there is some kind of mystery to clear up but since the reader knows “who dunnit,” solving(…)

Dear Mrs. Norman, One thing I can always count on in your books is that I’ll get to read about one or more strong women. And that these women won’t be doing silly things like swinging broadswords while in full suits of chain mail. “Taking Liberties” gives us two female lead characters and a unique(…)

Dear Ms. Cook, I know that authors usually have little control over their covers but I just have to mention the cover for Undressed since it’s so far off base. Way far. If I had just seen this book in a store, I would have immediately thought “contemporary screwball comedy.” If I’d bought it thinking(…)

Dear Mrs. Norman, Some reviews might lead readers to think this book is dry, historical fiction. But I feel those reviewers would be doing readers a disservice. These characters came alive for me. The times and places seemed real. Your descriptions are so deft that for a day I was back in the 18th century(…)

Dear Ms Michaels, I should have trusted my first instincts about this book. Instead, I let myself be lured by one good review into spending $7 on it. Bad move on my part. I think I will be skipping all the subsequent books in your series about 7 orphans who are adopted by an eccentric(…)

Dear Ms. Archer: I am pleasantly pleased with your debut novel. The setting isn’t Regency (though it is English), the heroine is intelligent and thoughtful, the hero is honorable and hardworking. The villain isn’t quite perfect but is better than the average 2 dimensional, foaming at the mouth type usually seen in first novels. Go(…)
