Melissa contacted me out of the blue a few weeks ago asking if I would like to post an “If You Like” entry for our series. Of course I responded with a yes. (that’s a hint to all of you readers out there). Melissa’s entry is about Military Heroes and given the popularity of these(…)

Dear Ms. Bell, I’ve enjoyed some of your previous books, especially Down For The Count (reviewed here by Jane). I think you can be relied upon to provide an entertaining sexy story with humour and fun. The problem for me with this book was that it was based on the hero deceiving the heroine. It(…)

Dear Ms. Sloan: This book was recommended on the basis that it was in the vein of Kristen Ashley. I avoided the first book because many reviews indicated that the heroine was weak and somewhat twee, spending her time being held by all the big handsome men in her life while she weeped. Not my(…)

Dear Ms. Bailey: I enjoyed your debut book, Protecting What’s his, quite a bit and I was told that this novella would feature a hero cut from the same dirty talking clothe. They weren’t wrong, but this novella suffers from length related problems. Troy Bennett is a homicide cop for the NYPD, recently transferred from(…)

Dear Ella Grace: I found this book to be rather bland. The heroine is nice. The hero is nice. There is a certain Robyn Carr Virgin River tone to it which made sense when I learned that Ella Grace was a penname for Christy Reece, whose work I had tried in the past and put(…)

Dear Ms. Beck: Part of this book was great. The other parts made me cringe and I used SHOUTY notes at points on the PDF review copy I received. BUT, I was engaged for most of the book which is more than I can say about some of the stories I’ve been reading. When her(…)

Dear Ms. Kennedy: I keep trying your non Samhain titles in hopes that I can find another winner but while this book started out with promise it fizzled after the first 1/3. The hero, Luke Dubois, is staking out a club and falls for one of the strippers. Olivia Taylor is thought to be the mob(…)

Dear Ms. Rose: In “Did You Miss Me?” part of the reason the romance works is because the characters have had unrequited feelings for each other prior to the start of the book. The romance in the story basically consists of coming to an understanding of those feelings so that the romance can swim underneath(…)

Dear Julieanne Reeves: I saw this on a list I follow as a recommended read but at $6.99 I was very reluctant to try it. Apparently Pamela Clare blurbed this but I can’t help but wonder if they are chapter mates or friends because the writing isn’t remotely as good as Clare’s book. I know(…)

Dear Ms. Etherington: This story had a charming couple – Pollyanna from Texas and the hard bitten detective whose father did time but the plot of the book surrounded the mystery of how the hero, Devin Antonio, was framed for the assault of a New York citizen.
