Dear Ms. Hardy, I haven’t read too many of the Harlequin Medical Romance line up til now. I do like the medical slant of the stories and the fact that many of them are set outside the U.S. The short length, though, might turn out to be a problem for me as it seems to(…)

With his heart on the line will it be fight…or flight? Dr. Court Armstrong is running from the past, a flight that takes him straight to the doorstep of a Ghanaian hospital and Nurse Maggie Everett. Working with firebrand Maggie is a challenge Court relishes every second of, but he’s in her world now–and he’ll(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts– I am baffled why such a good book has such a stupid title. Really, I am. When I first saw your book The Legendary Playboy Surgeon I snorted. The cover is awful–some dark-haired dude wearing oversized aviators is going for sexy and coming across surly–and the series description, “Heartbreakers of St. Patrick’s(…)

January was kind of a bust for me, but I caught up in February. I’ve been trying to read further afield, going past the usual m/m and category and trying more historical romance. They didn’t all work perfectly, but I’ve no regrets in this batch. Twice Fallen: Ladies in Waiting by Emma Wildes. I discovered(…)

News Bayou Arcana is due out in the UK shortly. I can’t find it in the U.S. but it is a “southern gothic” horror anthology that brings together an all female team of artists and all male team of writers. From the Guardian: “There is a certain sensitivity that you find in women’s art that(…)

When Mills & Boon celebrated its centennial a few years ago, it commissioned a series to mark the occasion in its Medical Romance line. The series was to be set in the fictional coastal Cornwall town of Penhally Bay and all the novels would focus on characters who came to work or already lived there.(…)

Dear Ms. Lennox, Jayne and I are both fans of your books, but your Medicals hold a special appeal for me. You manage to combine down-to-earth characters, plenty of medical context, and unusual settings, and this book is no exception. Despite the cheesy (but accurate) title and the fact that the Runaway Heiress is indeed(…)

I am so far behind reviewing my beloved Harlequin Medicals that I thought a review roundup would be better than nothing. I read three novels that are releasing in April (the fourth is part of a series which deserves its own post). First up is The Man With the Locked-Away Heart, by Melanie Milburne. This(…)

Dear Ms. Lennox, I first encountered your novels in the Harlequin Romance line. While I usually avoid books set in made-up principalities starring royal heroes like the plague, you managed to give your characters believable backstories and motivations. And when I went on to read your Medical Romances, you quickly became one of my favorite(…)

Dear Ms. Morgan, You have become of my autobuy, go-to authors, not just in category romance but as a writer of satisfying reads, full stop. The first book of yours I read was a Medical Romance in your Glenmore series, when M&B briefly made it available as one of their free reads. I enjoyed it(…)

As promised, here are the first of my reviews of books published in the US Harlequin Medical line. Both are set in the UK. Neurosurgeon – and Mum!, by Kate Hardy. Amy Rivers is a successful neurosurgeon, but a difficult operation has caused her to doubt her skill and suitability for the profession for which(…)

Recently Harlequin USA put out a call seeking novels for their Medical Romance line. Jessica at RRR noted this in a links roundup post and wondered who the audience for them was, because she didn’t know anyone who read them. Commenters, myself included, quickly replied that she did indeed know some readers, but her post(…)

Dear Ms. Fraser, Jane stated her intention of stretching her Harlequin boundaries so I decided I could yank mine a little more as well. Jane loves the “Presents” line but asshole Mediterranean heroes crossed with blonde doormat heroines just isn’t my thing. When I saw your book listed in the “Medical” line, I thought I(…)
