Dear Ms. Wiest, “Apache Eyes” is the second novella from you I’ve read. And it’s totally different from the first one. Not just because it’s a f/f historical but because it lacks the black humor that made “Practical Purposes” such a joy to read. But that’s okay, as it shows that you’re not just a(…)

more animals [poll id="121"] It seems only yesterday we were reading about various “traditionalist” attacks on Erotic Romance. Remember the graphical standards debacle? Or how about the accusations that GBLT and polyamorous Romance weren’t real Romance? But the intervening years have shown that Erotic Romance is not only a viable subgenre, but is, in fact,(…)

Update per commenter: Black Lace is still going strong . . . the Black Lace site is being revamped now. Virgin’s erotica imprints are now owned by Random House, which might have something to do with the sites not being online at the moment. *** Superlibrarian Wendy noticed that the Black Lace website has been(…)

Dear Ms. Hart, Your Spice Brief, Reason Enough continues the story of Elle and Dan from Dirty. Since I loved Dirty, I was really looking forward to Reason Enough and I am happy to say I enjoyed it. Elle and Dan have been living in the first home they’ve owned together just a few months(…)

Dear Ms. Holly: When we think of cross over genre, we readers usually are referring to the science fiction/fantasy book that appeals to both the sff reader and the romance reader. But you are probably one of the first cross over authors I ever read except I never really identified as such. You started out(…)

Janine: My friend Jennie F. and I had so much fun doing a conversational review of Jane Lockwood’s Forbidden Shores that we decided to do it again. Lo and behold, the subject of this discussion is also a novel about an erotic entanglement that involves two men and a woman! This time, it’s Megan Hart’s(…)

Dear Ms. White: I haven’t written a DNF review in a long time. Generally, I don’t like to write them but in this case, I read all but the last 50 pages. I stopped because I felt the relationship depicted on the pages had such an uncomfortable power disparity I couldn’t move forward. I admit(…)

Dear Readers, Just as I had finished reading Forbidden Shores by Jane Lockwood (a pseudonym for Janet Mullany) and was getting ready to review it, I had a conversation about the book with my good friend Jennie F., who had also recently read it. Jennie’s comments were so insightful and thought provoking, and I enjoyed(…)

Up until this weekend I was one of those readers who didn't really care that I couldn't articulate the difference between erotica and erotically charged Romance. "I know it when I see it–? was good enough for me. Then I read Emma Holly's newest release Fairyville and had one of those DUH! moments –" you(…)

Dear Ms James, Yippee, hooray, happy days. It’s a plain, hot, contemporary from Ellora’s Cave and something I thought was a thing of the past: an EC novel that does not feature a storyline about joining a bondage club or suddenly finding oneself hooked up with a fated alien/vampire/whatever mate! Bless you. Paige Holister had(…)

Dear Ms. Hart, On the first Friday of each month, Sadie Danning, the narrator of your book, Broken, has lunch on an atrium bench. Joe, whose last name Sadie doesn’t know, sits down with his own lunch next to her and tells her a story, and Sadie imagines herself within that tale. This month my(…)

Dear Mrs. Mueller, Once again you deliver the goods. A hot story, well told in under 40 pages (on my IPAQ). I’m still trying to find out information about this battle which Kybele took part in which resulted in her capture and eventual sale to our hero, Orestes, in Greece. So far Thessius is only(…)

Dear Ms. Hart, Elle Kavanagh wears only black and white. She counts things — not just money at her prestigious accounting job, but also stars, marbles, ceiling tiles. She buys her boss’s wife candy to assuage her guilt for sleeping with him years before. She has been celibate for three years, but before that, anonymous(…)

Dear Ms Kelly, I’m not a gamer so I’m sure I probably missed some “insider” stuff while reading your latest book but I had a great time laughing my ass off through the rest of it. And I’ve got to admire the chutzpah of having Princess Zara have you as her favorite author. Poor Princess(…)

Dear Ms. Hart: You came on the blog a while back during a discussion about erotica and erotic romance. You were very upfront about the fact that your book was erotica. I kind of poo-poo’ed most erotica as being a woman’s sexploration which didn’t sound very appealing to me. As your release date rolled around,(…)
