Dear Ms. Altom, As someone who cheerfully admits that if I ever got on another airplane, I’d probably be the one who wigged out and caused the air marshals to be called in, the blurb of this book caught my attention. A heroine who freaks out at 30,000 feet. Hey, I can relate! The babies(…)

Dear Ms. Chase, After my disappointment with last years book about the Englishwoman who escapes from the harem, I will admit to being reluctant to try “Last Night’s Scandal.” I knew nothing about the hero or heroine or plot and wondered if it would be a sequel to “Don’t Tempt Me” which nothing could tempt(…)

Dear Ms. Braemel: I like good erotic romance and even though I know that it is hard to do and there are some real clunkers out there, I continue to return in hopes of finding a new gem. While Texas Tangle isn’t a gem that I am going to re-read, it does provide more substance(…)

Dear Ms. Rudnick, Social media is probably one of the funnest tropes that’s present in young-adult fiction. How often do you see a regular adult novel belting out blog posts, emails, and IM’s in a way that tells a full fledged story? Not very often. Books that use social media have always been fun reads(…)

Dear Ms. Derting, Your debut initially piqued my interest when I read the premise: a teenage girl with the ability to sense death gets tangled up with a serial killer. For all my purported weariness with the urban fantasy genre and its related subsets, I can’t seem to stay away because I love the paranormal(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis: I discovered your books when Smart Bitch Sarah commented somewhere about how much she liked Instant Attraction. When she told me that the book was set in the Sierra Nevada I was eager to read it, because I happen to love the area and had not read any contemporary Romance novels set(…)

Dear Ms. Harvey, I know I’ve said in the past that I’m tired of vampires, and it would appear many other people would agree. In the YA genre, we’ve seen many a trend come and go over the past couple of years: faeries, werewolves, zombies, and angels. That said, I’ve yet to see one of(…)

Dear Ms. Willingham, I haven’t always had the best of luck with the Harlequin Historical line, but always being in the lookout for new historical authors, I decided to give The Accidental Countess a try. I wish I could say that my experience was a resounding success, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. While I(…)

Dear Ms. Black. I reviewed a short story of yours in my review of Sindusty I from Dreamspinner Press. It was one of my two favorites of the anthology. I had this to say about it: “I adored this sweet little story. Patrick is a video game designer, working the final kinks out of a(…)

Dear Ms. Schmidt, I am coming to look forward to your many novels set on the Massachusetts coastal islands. Plus you use the turn-of-the-century (turn of the last century I should say) era which is something I’d love to see more of. Nola Burns initially appears to be an uptight, dried up spinster who’s as(…)

Dear Ms. Michaels, If the purpose of the novella “How to Woo a Spinster” was to get me to buy this full length novel, it worked. But as I started to read How to Tempt a Duke, I wondered if I would get through it. Let’s see…Regency era, Duke hero, feisty younger sister, heroine with(…)
