My first HelenKay Dimon stories were the collection of novellas in Viva Las Bad Boys!. I’ve always felt that HelenKay Dimon is very good at creating a lot of emotion and fun dialogue in shorter lengths. “Just Say Yes” is a little different office romance. Colin and Allie sit on opposite sides of the desk.(…)

I’ve been reading a lot of ARCs so most of my reading list are for titles not published until November, December and January. I hope that is okay with the readers. Contemporary: Holiday Kisses, an anthology by Shannon Stacey, HelenKay Dimon, Jaci Burton, and Alison Kent. I liked all the stories in this contemporary Christmas(…)

August is getting labeled with ‘explore new-to-me authors’. Last week I went on a sample downloading binge, inspired by January’s Spoil of War review (that review made me ask, what in the world is getting published, self or otherwise?), which means I’ve been reading a ton on my phone instead of my ereader. I don’t(…)

My reading weeks are highly variable. Sometimes I read half a dozen (or more) novels in their entirety, sometimes I don’t make it through a single one. This was a good week. I was doing some catching up of series in preparation for new releases, as well as following up on reads that have been(…)

Under the Gun by HelenKay Dimon I’ve never been a huge fan of the Intrigue line because I felt that even full length romantic suspense books struggled to fit both romance and suspense in one story, how could a compressed format do both topics justice? Under the Gun had a good balance of both the(…)

Dear Ms. Dimon: Thank you for sending me Hot as Hell. I think the guy on the cover looks a bit like Tom Brady, of whom I not a big fan but I promise I didn’t hold it against your book. I think the complaint I had from the last book is that the plot(…)

Dear Ms. Dimon: I mentioned before that your trademark seemed to be really great dialogue, snappy flirtatious banter. This book was no different. The problem was that while it had your trademark dialogue, it just had too much of it. I guess there really is too much of a good thing. Gabrielle Pearson thought that(…)

Dear Ms. Dimon: When I read Viva Las Bad Boys!, I was struck by how great your voice was for smart, snappy dialogue. But writing a full length book wasn’t the same as writing three novellas and I admit to being a bit worried that smart, snappy dialogue couldn’t carry an entire story. I was(…)

One of the boys I dated in law school was also in a band. Sometimes they would drink. . . Okay, they would drink alot, but sometimes when they did, they would each take a turn at writing a song lyric on a napkin. Esquire magazine engaged in a napkin project wherein they sent 200(…)

Dear Ms. Dimon: After this book, I am on an anthology diet because as a general rule, I find them dissatisfying. Your stories, particularly your first two, were like a breath of fresh air through the stale anthology shelf. Viva Las Bad Boys is set, well, in Las Vegas, of course. It features three stories(…)
