Dear Ms. Eden: Thank you for sending me an ARC of your book. You had sent me the first one Hotter After Midnight but I didn’t get around to reading it so I appreciate your persistence in following up with me.

Dear Ms. Jackson: I think you must be a very funny person because there were a couple of scenes, while a bit over the top, which were hysterical. The problem is that most of the book read like a more serious novel and the two sides didn’t fit well together. Or maybe it was just(…)

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(…)
