Dear Ms. Gray: I can’t recall why I wanted to read a book of yours. Was it a comment you made? Somewhere? It’s hard to say. I mentioned one night on Twitter that I was going to buy one of your books (Damnation) but my friend, Nicole of BlogHappy, twittered back that I should try(…)

Dear Ms. Castle: >I haven’t read all your Harmony stories but I admit to enjoying them quite a bit even though, at times, I have felt like they were futuristic lite. Maybe I was just in a good mood when I read this one, but the story worked for me this time. Sierra McIntyre, daughter(…)

Dear Jane, Thank you for inviting me to write this review of Ann Aguirre’s Grimspace. After reading your review last month I was eager to read this and even more delighted to win one of the 20 ARCs you gave away. I am happy to report that I enjoyed the book as much as you(…)

Dear Ms. Hodge, I greatly enjoyed the first batch of books Shomi published last year, so I’ve been looking forward to the imprint’s second offering. Yours is the first of those I’ve read, and for the most part, I am not disappointed. Abbey Shore works her way through architectural school by flipping houses. Her latest(…)

Dear Ms. Aguirre: I’m not sure why I respond so well to urban fantasy stories. I think it has to do, in part, with the escapism factor. These books are often gritty but because of the otherworldly nature, it is easy to take. Easy to lose oneself in an entire other world. While Grimspace is(…)

Dear Ms. Kenin: I wasn’t sure what to expect when I received a copy of Driven. While it is the third in Dorchester’s new “Shomi” line, it was the first of the new imprint that I read. It is quite safe to say that I was favorably impressed. Driven is a story set in the(…)

Dear Ms. Howson: When you sent me your book to read, you said that it was a Young Adult Futuristic Romance. I didn’t need a blurb or anything else since I don’t know if I had ever read a YA Futuristic Romance and was quite intrigued. I really liked your voice, the story, the world,(…)

Dear Ms. Krentz: As stated by you, White Lies represents a move toward the consolidation of your books under one name. Previously your futuristic novels were published under the nom de plume, Jayne Castle. The Arcane Society, an alternate reality world inhabited by people with psychic abilities, was originally introduced in historicals written by you(…)

Dear Ms. Robb: I left off the last book feeling vaguely unhappy with how little Eve seems to give in the relationship with Roarke. This book is my comeuppance. Every book in the In Death series has had a good mystery and police procedure is one of my favorite genres. Not every one, however, leaves(…)

Dear Ms. Sinclair, Games of Command, your science fiction romance, begins shortly after an alliance is formed between the Triad and the United Coalition. Captain Tasha “Sass” Sebastian, formerly of the United Coalition, is surprised to learn that she has been assigned to the Vaxxar, a huntership under the command of the biocybernetic Admiral Branden(…)

Dear Ms. Anderson: This is the third and last book that I have of yours that I read. I bought it back in November when it came out, still thinking about the Dangerous Cravings book. I figured that any excessive porniness that existed in Dirty Girl would surely be stamped out by the editing at(…)

Dear Ms. Everaux: Over at Bam’s blog, a couple three people suggested Bam read this book. I’m not Bam but I am always up for a recommendation. I had to fly for business last Thursday and downloaded this book at the airport. God, I love ebooks. . Onto my handheld the book went and I(…)

Dear Ms. Bast: If pressed, I would probably say that you are my favorite EC novelist. I am eagerly awaiting your Berkley releases. I bought Water Crystal during my Bast glom and thought, despite the title, that it was a contemporary given the cover. It is not a contemporary, but rather a futuristic. I’ve said(…)
