Dear Ms. Beck: Part of this book was great. The other parts made me cringe and I used SHOUTY notes at points on the PDF review copy I received. BUT, I was engaged for most of the book which is more than I can say about some of the stories I’ve been reading. When her(…)

Dear Ms. Maxwell I liked the first one in this series, Seducing Cinderella, but this was entirely too predictable for me. The tag line says it all. “Seven days. And seven rules to break…” Vanessa McGregor travels to Hawaii to make sure that her best friend, Lucie, has the wedding of her dreams. Lucie can’t(…)

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. Andrews: I grabbed this book on NetGalley given that I enjoyed How to Mend a Broken Heart quite a bit. An environmental protestor handcuffs herself to a property developer. Worse, they are fluffy pink handcuffs. The scatty tree hugger with the uptight has never been my kind of story but I think what(…)

Dear Ms. Robert: The setup is corny but amusing. Elle Walser decides to creep into her boss’ bed and seduce him and instead ends up with his brother, Gabe Schultz. Crawling into her boss’ bedroom and trying seduce him even though he has ignored every overture takes some brass ovaries. And I liked it that she(…)

Harlequin I met with Harlequin today and asked some of your questions. Updated x2: One of the things I totally forgot to mention is that Harlequin and all of its worldwide offices are moving toward simultaneous worldwide launch so no more early releases over at Mills & Boon before they are released here in the(…)

Dear Ms. Kindred, A few months ago, I read your Carina Press novella, The Devil’s Garden, and enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminded me somewhat of a cross between Storm Constantine and Jacqueline Carey, which I thought was a good and interesting mix. I also liked that your characters fell outside the usual gender(…)

Dear Ms. Marsh, I am always on the lookout for India-set and India-related historical and contemporary romances, so when I saw your new contemporary was forthcoming from Entangled Publishing, I was intrigued. You’ve written a number of well-received category romances at Harlequin, so although Entangled is a new press, you are a proven author. But(…)

Dear Ms. Lario: I requested this book from NetGalley based on the blurb over at BookPushers by MinnChica. This is an Entangled Pub book and the first that I’ve read from this Press. It looked like a very professional product. The epub was nicely formatted (with chapters and everything!) and didn’t have any glaring editing errors. My(…)
