Dear Ms. Kent: At first, I was a little distressed because the hero is a lawyer and the heroine is a legal assistant (not at the same firm, though). It’s fairly hard for me to get lost in the world of make believe when the characters are so familiar to me. However, there was not(…)

This good girl’s going bad…. Merry Kade has always been the good girl. The best friend. The one who patiently waits for the guy to notice her. Well, no more. Merry has just scored her dream job, and it’s time for her life to change. As the new curator of a museum in Wyoming, she’ll(…)

Dear Ms. Walker: You and I are friendly on Twitter, but for the most part in the past, your books have not worked very well for me. But when I read the blurb for Wrecked, it sounded right up my alley. Abigaile Applegate and Zach Barnes are tied inextricably together by their past as child(…)

Dear Ms. Ashley: I admit I had reservations when I heard that the next Ashley book was to be Tabby and Shy’s story. Tabby is the daughter of Tack Allen, the president of the Chaos Motorcycle Club. At the end of Motorcycle Man, Tabby is 19 years old and Parker “Shy” Cage is 24 years old. I(…)

Dear Ms. Kaye: I should have stopped reading when I realized that the two protagonists were named Storm and Breezy. Nothing good can come of this level of twee but instead of listening to my instincts, I read on. Breanna aka Breezy Collins has loved Storm Decker forever. He’s been off sailing his yacht, winning(…)

Dear Megan Miranda: I read and loved your debut novel, Fracture. It was such an unusual novel that contained some of my favorite tropes along with some elements I don’t usually see in the YA genre. So I’ve been looking forward to your future works. When I saw that you had a new book coming(…)

Dear Ms. Martin: We are back with hockey! Yay! I wasn’t a fan of our walkabout to the tavern and then to Ireland and I really didn’t like the playboy hero of Breakaway. The male protagonist, Esa Saari, is a long time member of the NY Blades. Esa is from Finland and has been enjoying(…)

Dear Ms. Banks: When I heard you were publishing a “50-esque” trilogy, I knew immediately that it would be on my reading list. Although I have hit-or-miss luck with some of your books, you write dandy alpha males, and I love nothing better than your dominant males, so I was optimistic about this reading experience(…)

Dear Ms. Stacey: I hate to tell you this but I was bored for most of the book. I don’t know if it was that I was reading a Christmas book post Christmas and thus all the holiday decorating, the trimming of the tree, the planning for a holiday party seemed tiresome and pre Christmas,(…)

Dear Ms. Essex: I’m always looking for books with unusual settings, and as soon as I saw the cover and title of your book at Harlequin, I put it into my cart. Back to the Good Fortune Diner is aptly named: Tiffany Cheung escaped Everville, New York and her parents’ Chinese restaurant for New York(…)

“A story about best friends, childhood dreams, and the healing power of Chinese food… Toni Lau and Dion Chan were connected from birth — first via their parents’ jointly-owned restaurant, then via their bone-deep friendship. But children grow up, and Toni leaves their sleepy hometown looking for more than it can offer. Now Toni is(…)

Dear A.G. Howard: Other than the original, I don’t think I’ve read a novel based on Alice in Wonderland. This seems like an oversight on my part. I’m sure there are plenty but I’ve never sought them out. But your debut caught my interest. I was promised creepiness and Splintered delivered. Alyssa Gardner is a(…)

Dear Ms. DeWinters, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to get based on the blurb and excerpt. It sounded like there’s some dark past event that heroine Naomi is trying to face down but you kept it hidden through the into chapter that sets up Naomi and Zach as coworkers at some firm(…)

Dear Ms. Dimon, Ms. Barth, and Ms. Burton: Carina Press’s holiday anthologies are fast becoming autobuys for me. I was sorry there was no m/m anthology this year, but this entry in another favorite subgenre of mine, contemporary romance, made up for it. As is often the case, especially with two out of three new-to-me(…)
