Dear Ms. Kery: I’ve had mixed reactions to your work. I enjoyed your first one, Wicked Burn, quite a bit but Daring Time seemed to be more a romance about the city of Chicago than a romance between two characters. Other books like Sweet Restraint and Holiday Bound had complicated emotional connections involving other characters(…)

Dear Ms. Bradley, I registered at NetGalley for the express purpose of downloading an advanced copy of this book. I've been a fan of yours since reading your contribution to the Hot Nights, Dark Desires anthology. "The Art of Desire," featuring a tattoo artist hero and his female client, is one of my favorite erotic(…)

Dear Ms. Black: It’s very hard to write this review because something happens at the end of the book that shades my entire view of the story so a post mortem is a little difficult because the story, before the ending, was really intriguing despite a few problems with believability. And frankly, while I read(…)

Dear Ms. DiPasqua: I placed a recommended note by your book after I read it because I appreciated the freshness of the location (France), the spirit of the stories (that woman are often oppressed during certain time periods and must find their own ways of gaining agency), and the clever mirroring of the fairy tales.(…)

Dear Ms. Rice: Yesterday I blogged about probably my favorite Lisa Marie Rice book. Today I bring you my least favorite LMR book (and apparently the only one my blogging partner, Janine, has in her to be read pile). Dangerous Secrets starts out with a superb prologue. There is a watcher on a hill observing(…)

Dear Ms. Rice: I don’t remember which order I read the Lisa Marie Rice books but I do know that Woman on the Run was one of the latter books in my glom. It features a slightly different heroine (one more cosmopolitan but who ends up embracing small town life) and the standard hero (tall,(…)

Note: This is one of my longer reviews, but I promise that I only really laid out in detail what happens in the first chapter. It’s just a book that I enjoy thinking and talking about. Dear Ms. Calhoun: Thank you for sending me this book as it is not one that I would’ve picked(…)

I am a glommer and if I find a book that I like, I usually go and purchase the backlist of that author. This is particularly easy to do in this day of digital backlists. It’s even easier if the author you are glomming is a epublished author as is the case with Lisa Marie(…)

Dear Ms. Cain: I asked for all the erotic romances published by Carina Press in June because I have been desperate for a good erotic romance. I don’t know where they have all gone. Yours was sent to me with a number of others and I read all five in a row. Alien Revealed is(…)

Dear Ms. Glass: I understand that this is your debut book. Yay! for you. Unfortunately, now people get to read and comment on the story. I liked this erotic romance novella but my expectations have been lowered by a spate of really poor erotic romance so I am tempering my recommendation for this short with(…)

Dear Ms. Dee: Thank you for sending me Steve’s Story. I had purchased and read Ask Adam at the recommendation of other readers when I asked on Twitter for good erotic romance titles. Ask Adam didn’t work for me but you offered a second story and I jumped at the opportunity to take a look(…)

Dear Ms. Featherstone, Your book is officially my first erotic historical romance, and I was very pleased with the resulting read. While the thought of an erotic romance made me apprehensive, you managed to give me a good story that really kept well, despite the sex scenes. Jane Rankin works as a nurse in a(…)

When I see the title of this book, I can’t help but think of Mike Meyer’s horrid accent saying “Austin DANGER Powers”. I adored the first installment of Austin Powers and will willingly get sucked into it any time I see it on TV. Men of Danger has little in common with Austin Powers, including(…)

Wendy, the Superlibrarian, had a great post about the money v. no money trailers and which have a greater effect. Based on the comments on her blog and that on the SmartBitches, Tessa Dare’s charming homemade trailer seems the clear winner. **** Funnel Inc made an awesome graphical chart of how a book actually gets(…)

Dear Ms. Burton, After being inundated with shifters, weres, vampires, and all sorts of alien and/or immortal life forms, it’s nice to indulge in a Contemporary Chaser (yes, right along the lines of a Unicorn Chaser). I believe the only Jaci Burton books I have had previous exposure to have been in the Unlaced and(…)
