Dear Ms. Davis: I picked up this book at B&N because of the cover. I bought it because of its premise and because I’m fascinated by full triad m/m/f menage books actually being sold in the romance section at bricks-and-mortar stores, so I wanted to support that. Once I did, the book was…well, okay. Nothing(…)

Dear Ms. Parrish, It was the review at AAR that convinced me to try “Fade to Black.” I have the same issues with romantic suspense novels that reviewer Katie Mack lists: convenient TSTL moments, too alpha heroes, suspense plots that aren’t suspenseful and, my personal bugaboo, inappropriately timed sex. I also don’t like my rom-susp(…)

Dear Ms. Sorenson: I have read your category novels and thus I was excited to make the transition to full length mass market novels. Â This book had very real characters and very steamy love scenes. I found the suspense to take kind of a back seat to the deception/romance story and that, at times,(…)

Dear Ms. Harper: I am a big fan of the Elizabeth Hoyt historicals. They are richly detailed with full bodied emotional depth. They are sometimes dark but have always delivered a satisfying read. I can see where writing fun contemporary romps would serve as a nice relief as well as allowing an author to stretch(…)

Dear Ms. Garwood The lure of the 100% micropay rebate at Fictionwise was too great for me to overcome despite the fact my last few encounters with your books have not ended well. I’m happy to say that Fire and Ice is an improvement over recent publications but it doesn’t reach the level of the(…)

Dear Ms. Webb: The romantic suspense market seems crowded these days and it’s hard to pick out a new author. It’s not because the suspense market isn’t full of good authors. It is actually one genre that seems to be full of competent authors and competent books. The problem is that from one to another,(…)

Dear Ms. Ross: I wanted to like this book.  It promised to be a blend of romance and action featuring a strong female character.  Caitlin Cavanaugh is the  FBI agent in charge of an investigation of a serial sniper in  Somersett, South Carolina.  On the one hand, I liked it better than the last Ross book I read,(…)

Dear Ms. Ellison: November is a “new to me” month where I read about 10 authors that I had never read before. Yours was one of them. All the Pretty Girls is a romantic suspense book with a unique twist. The couple is already dating when the book starts. I think this is a great(…)

Dear Ms Webb, I’m sorry but I can’t get the Bee Gees’ song (“Ah, ah, ah, ah Staying Aliiiiiiiiiiiiive!”) or visions of John Travolta in a white suit, striking a pose out of my head. OK, I’ll stop that now since it has nothing to do with a plot about a teacher dodging terrorists with(…)
