Dear Ms. Cabot: This is the third in the Queen of Babble series featuring Lizzie Nichols, a wedding dress restorer and designer. I’ve read the first one but not the second (I have no explanation for not reading the second). The book begins with Lizzie confused about an encounter with her good friend, Chaz, and(…)

Dear Ms. Osterlund, When I received this book from Jane, I was excited. It’s been a long time since I’ve read a book solely about a princess and I admit I had a soft spot for them when I was younger. And not only did Aurelia feature a crown princess, it also had the spymaster’s(…)

Dear Ms. Weaver: It has been a long time (or so it seems) since your last release and I have anxiously awaited it. The result may be a case of missed expectations. This book had a fun premise but was weak in the execution. Best friends, Iris and Russ are snuggled up together on Halloween(…)

Dear Mrs. Merrill, Thank you for sending me the arc of your newest Regency, “A Wicked Liaison.” I like how you stick to convention Regency lore yet still give us something new. Most of the titled characters are either villains, idiots or snobs while the hero is a plain Mister. Ah, bliss. And there’s no(…)

Dear Mrs Townend, As I’ve said in other reviews, these days it takes something different to interest me in a medieval. A new twist on an old plot, unique character traits for a knight or his lady or, glory be, something totally out of the ordinary. When you offered me a copy of your latest(…)

Dear Ms Dane, Your novella arrived at a perfect time. Both my Christmas trees are up and decorated (with lots of help from my children) and I’m really moving into the holiday mood. This is a great story to tuck into spare reading time between parties, cooking and other seasonal activities I guess the plot(…)

Dear Mrs. Kenner, I was excited to see this novella offered for free at Fictionwise. I usually enjoy your books and was looking forward to a sexy start to the Christmas season. Well, after reading it, I was reminded of the saying ‘you get what you pay for.’ When I think of your latest series,(…)

Dear Ms. Smith: I am a devoted fan of yours and have purchased every book that Belgrave House makes available. While not every book is a keeper, there is certainly a consistency of quality that makes me continue to buy your work. Blossom Time is a classic Smith story. Rosalind Lovelace is a gently bred(…)

Dear Ms. Shinn, You’ve written some of my favorite romances (Yes, I know that they are published in the SF/Fantasy and YA genres, but I consider many of your books romances). General Winston’s Daughter, your latest YA fantasy novel, may not be my most cherished among your works but it’s still an unusually good book,(…)

Dear Ms. Seidel, I've been slowly going through your backlist and have enjoyed most of what I've read so far. Your books aren't flashy, but down to earth. They take their time to get where they are going. There is however, a welcome realness to the characters, surroundings, and events. At no point do I(…)

Dear Ms. Wolf, I had heard many good things about your book, A London Season. Despite having been published twenty-six years ago, it remains loved by many fans of traditional regencies, some of whom consider it a classic of that subgenre. So when a copy of the book came my way, I was eager to(…)

Dear Ms. Andrews, Though this is one of the first ebooks I bought, it’s taken me a while to get back to it. In fact, I’m kind of reading your “Savannah” series backwards but enjoying it none the less. One thing that’s really stood out so far is the “closer than sisters” bond between BeBe(…)

Dear Ms. Balogh, I’ve been slowly reading my way through your backlist, and several of your older regencies have found a permanent place on my bookshelf. Among them are Dark Angel, Dancing with Clara, A Christmas Promise and others. Unfortunately, A Certain Magic won’t be joining these books. A Certain Magic begins when Alice Penhallow,(…)

Dear Ms. Greene, Several of my friends count you among their favorite authors and have for years. Lately I’ve had good luck with the Harlequin Next line (which I understand is now defunct) and I jumped at the chance to try one of your books. Overall, it was a good experience but not the best.(…)

Dear Mrs. Norman, When I heard you had a new book coming out, I skipped around the house for joy. Your books are like an entire box of dark chocolate covered caramel truffles. I want to eat the whole box at once but I force me to pace myself. It’s hard but it’s worth it(…)
