Dear Ms. Kenner, When I got your recent email newsletter, I was so happy to see that there’s going to be a new book in the Kate Connor “Demon Hunting Soccer Mom” series. And to whet my appetite and get me back into this world, you also have a short novella – now available on(…)

Dear Ms. Beck: I know my blogging partner, Jayne, is a big fan of your Carpe Demon series and I have enjoyed your Harlequin Blaze books but this paranormal detective story seemed like a mishmash of a 100 ideas poured into a tiny space. The people, the concepts, the story all was too much even(…)

Dear Ms. Kenner: I haven’t tried many of your non-paranormal contemporaries so when Harlequin had this back-to-backer, I thought, “why not?”. Let’s see how you do with no demons or Greek Gods. This will be just plain, ol’ normal people from Texas. Alyssa Chambers has visions of sweet temptation dancing in her head. Should she(…)

Welcome to Ace and Roc’s fabulous forthcoming books giveaway, just in time for the holidays! Thanks again to Dear Author for giving me this opportunity to let you know about some of our terrific upcoming titles. As always, there are too many great books for me to mention all of them, so you can look(…)

WARNING: spoilers for the first four books are impossible to avoid. Dear Ms. Kenner, I’ve been addicted to this series since it first started four books ago. While some things have stayed the same, others, thank goodness, have changed and evolved as the series has progressed. And if there’s one thing I can count on,(…)

Warning: series spoilers are sure to abound here. Dear Ms. Kenner, One reason I keep eagerly looking forward to new books in this series is that even though Kate has snarky humor and moments of hilarious screwball behavior, there are grounding moments such as when it begins to hit home for Allie that demon hunting(…)

For anyone who is a long time reader of Dear Author, you’ll know that Julie Kenner is one of Jayne’s favorite authors. Ironically, Kenner’s books are ones that we rarely receive review copies of. Many of the Kenner books that Jayne has reviewed she has purchased herself. What’s even more amazing is Jayne is off(…)

Dear Mrs. Kenner, I was excited to see this novella offered for free at Fictionwise. I usually enjoy your books and was looking forward to a sexy start to the Christmas season. Well, after reading it, I was reminded of the saying ‘you get what you pay for.’ When I think of your latest series,(…)

Dear Ms Kenner, Two summers ago, “Carpe Demon” grabbed me and pulled me into the world of Kate Connor, retired fourth level Demon hunter now living in a small Southern California town. Last year “California Demon” kept up the action as Kate, now brought back into active demon hunting, polished her skills, saved her hometown(…)

Dear Ms Kenner, Two years ago I got swept up in your Play.Survive.Win world. The scavenger hunt plot with death as the booby prize for those who lost plus smart protagonists sucked me in and didn’t let go until the last page. “The Prada Paradox” closes the three book story arc and, while not as(…)

Dear Ms Kenner, I grandly announce that I’m tired of vampires and don’t intend to read many more books featuring them just at the time when you so kindly sent me some books and arcs, one of which was about a vampire. Oh dear what do I do now? Read it of course! And get(…)

Dear Ms. Kenner: I started becoming a Julie Kenner fan with the The Givenchy Code whose title was not only a clever play on the blockbuster, The Da Vinci Code, but also a creative take on the chick lit oeuvre: a heroine who loved shoes and code breaking. In The Prada Paradox, the last in(…)

Dear Ladies: Here’s the sttory behind how this book was chosen for the dueling review and why it’s late (it’s supposed to be a November dueling review). Jayne and I were tossing around ideas. I suggested Drop Dead Gorgeous but Jayne confessed to not having read Linda Howard in years. Billionaires Prefer Blondes came up(…)

Ladies, I think most romance readers view anthologies as a mixed blessing. Readers get a chance to read favorite authors or try new ones in a short format. Sometimes the stories work but usually there’s at least one which doesn’t. I’ll cut short your suspense and say that in “To Hell with the Ladies” that(…)

Dear Mrs. Kenner, I first read this book last year when it came out in trade paperback but when Jane got a MMP copy this month, she asked me to refresh my memory, do a letter and then we give it away to some lucky reader. I said sure, will do. Well, I ended up(…)
