Dear Ms. Beck, One of the great things about self publishing is that books that don’t fit the mold can still find an audience. Unfortunately for readers, this also means that a great many things that should remain unpublished are now available for consumption. This book series falls into the latter category. I’m not sure(…)

A while back I was tweeting about m/m novels with a couple of m/m writers. I mentioned that my least favorite explanations for why women read m/m romance was “If one man is good, two men are even better!” Both of the writers agreed, and we moved on to other topics. I went back to(…)

Dear Ms. d’Abo. I became interested in your writing after seeing that Jane had accepted one of your stories for her Agony/Ecstasy anthology. So I hied me on over to Ellora’s Cave and bought these two stories. I’m glad I did and I look forward to your anthology story even more now. Commanding Acquisitions Simon’s(…)

A note to readers: Since I felt it was impossible to discuss my reaction to this book without revealing something that happens near the end of the story, my review contains some spoilers. — Janine Dear Ms. Hart, Back in October, when we hosted this guest post on cultural appropriation, many of our commenters mentioned(…)

Dear Ms. Hart, The plot of this Spice Brief deals with the same events described in your full-length novel, Tempted, which Jennie and I reviewed here. But whereas Tempted was narrated in first person from the POV of Anne Kinney, a married woman in her late twenties, “Everything Changes” is told in third person and(…)

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(…)

Dear Ms. Richardson, I had a blast reading The Birthday Present, the third and final story in your Countess Trilogy. To readers who have not read the earlier stories, but would like to read this one, I have to suggest reading this series in order. Like The Countess’s Client and An Impolite Seduction, The Birthday(…)

Dear Ms. Richardson, Recently I reviewed The Countess’s Client, the first Spice Brief in your Countess Trilogy. I enjoyed the story, and especially its haughty narrator, Anna, Countess von Esslin, a young widow with a taste for good sex on her own terms. To read more about her, I purchased An Impolite Seduction, the second(…)

Dear Ms. Richardson, When your Countess Trilogy was recently recommended to me by no less than three friends, I sat up and took notice. I quickly purchased the first of the three stories, downloaded it to my Sony reader, and devoured it. The practice of genuine virtue leads to a life of odious boredom–of that(…)

Dear Ms. Hart, Two of the many things I enjoyed about your erotic novella collection, Pleasure and Purpose, are the setting and the heroines’ background. All three novellas take place in a fantasy setting which resembles mid nineteenth century Europe in terms of its technological development. As far as I can tell, this world does(…)

Dear Ms. Featherstone, My love of Joey Hill’s books aside, I normally don’t read erotic fiction, but your novel’s cover description caught my interest. A novel exploring opium addiction? Really? Since I’m currently trying to expand my reading horizons, I thought I’d give your book a shot. Anais Darnby and Lindsay Markham have known each(…)
