Dear Ms. Milan: I have heard such good things about your early Victorian-set novels that I kept meaning to read one. When the controversy over the Publisher's Weekly review erupted, I knew I would have to read Unveiled. While more confused than ever about that infamous review, I have been thinking a lot about the [...]

Dear Ms. McClone, Two things interested me about this book and got me to try it. One – several people had mentioned your name as a Harlequin author I should try and two – this is the last book in a series in which I had already read and enjoyed another one. Unfortunately, though I [...]

Dear Ms. Ryan, When I saw that this book is set in Germany during WWII, I knew I had to try it. That, I’m afraid, is really the only reason I jumped at it but pounce on it I did. Like Wendy the Super Librarian I feel compelled to do my part to encourage the [...]

Dear Ms. Fielding, For a moment, I thought that this was part of some Harlequin series with the set up that the heroine loses one red stiletto and finds her HEA from it. Then after checking, I realized that “Mistletoe and the Lost Stiletto” is not part of the same series as another book I [...]

Dear Ms. Lennox, My other recommendation for this month is a Christmas book set in cold, snowy London so this is a nice balance set in warm, shirt sleeve weather Australia. It also features a rich CEO and a much-much-less-rich young woman who discover that no matter the temperature, love can be found amidst the [...]

Looking for something to read this weekend? I’ve updated the Coming Soon catalog. Here’s the November page. I’ve also updated the Harlequin digital backlist and the Berkley Trade and Mass Market list. These can all be found under the Easy Resources tab. ****** I’m surprised that no one has yet come up with a subsidized [...]

Dear Ms. Lang, I will readily admit that the Harlequin Presents line is not one I usually read but somewhere in some past reviews here, posters had mentioned that the Presents Extra line is slightly different from the usual Pregnant Housekeeper, Asshole CEO. Whoever said that is correct but unfortunately that didn’t help me like [...]

“Kerry Anne MacBride and her quirky family are a package deal-’get one, you get them all. The high school art teacher is stubborn and fiercely protective of her kin, making her the absolute wrong woman for a straitlaced, hardheaded, by-the-books lawyer like Matt Lawrence, no matter how attracted she is to him. And anyway, now’s [...]

Dear Ms. Jump, I was looking for something fun and quick and found it here. Maybe parts of it are more Romance Land than believable in real life but the ride was so much fun that in the end, I didn’t care. Sarah G has put her life on hold until now. Something about the [...]
