Dear Ms. Foley, Sometimes I’m in the mood for a short, hot story and when I am, I usually turn to Harlequin Blaze books. Most are straight contemporaries, feature believable heroes and heroines and cut to the chase since there isn’t much space for authors to tack on additional subplots. “Overnight Sensation” looked like it(…)

Dear Ms. Donovan, A few weeks ago I reviewed a Kathleen O’Reilly Blaze book featuring an accountant hero. I made a little joke about how unsexy that profession is and was almost run over by posters quick to correct my view point. Wow, now I know to look beyond audits, tax forms and calculators to(…)

Dear Mrs. O’Reilly, How do you do it? How do you make accountants sexy? No offense to any number crunchers out there, especially at this time of year, but the profession isn’t up there on the sexy-job-o-meter.

Dear Ms. O’Reilly, As with the first book of your last trilogy, this one is a winner for me. Straight from the beginning and all the way through. I enjoyed all the characters in this book, the plot, the setting…in fact everything. At first I was a little leery about the setting. I mean, an(…)

Dear Ms. Kelly, I’m not usually a fan of Blaze books nor of anthologies. Often elements of a story I love such as characterization and believability are sacrificed for the hot sex that the imprint is known for and anthologies in general sometimes irk me due to the short word count that demands I believe(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis: I can’t exactly recreate how I found your book, but I did a websearch about something, ended up at your site and read the excerpt for Shadow Hawk which led me directly to Harlequin’s website. I thanked the internet gods and Malle Valik for offering up the June releases a month early.(…)

Currently, Highland Fling is No. 8 on the Fictionwise Romance Bestseller List. Dear Ms. LaBrecque: You know those romance books that are so(…)
