Dear Ms. Alexander: I read the first in the unfortunately titled H.O.T. Cops series “Bad Girl at Night.” I meant to review it but failed to do so until recently. Party of Three is the second in the series. I had read a few of your Ellora’s Cave publications previously but found them to be(…)

Dear Ms. Brashears: This book really didn’t work for me. For one thing I felt like the tone and content of the story was quite dated. I’ve often lamented how many Harlequin Superromances lack sexual tension and this is emblematic of the issue. I never felt like these two had any attraction for each other(…)

Dear Ms. St. Claire: I have a feeling that this book is going to get some bad grades because the heroine does very bad things and is hard and edgy and the redemption story is hers, not the male protagonist. But it is because of the heroine that I enjoyed this book. Natalya Trubachev is a(…)

Dear Ms. Lamb: Why hello there. I had no idea you wrote such fun and entertaining characters. I admit that I was initially put off by the series because it featured heroines with psychic abilities. While Now You See Her and Dream Man by Linda Howard are two of my favorite contemporaries, psychic characters have(…)

Dear Ms. Barry: In my hunt for more shifter books, I came across your November title. I had heard good things about you in the past. Your book, Body Master, won the 2011 Winner of RomCon’s 2011 Reader’s Crown for Best Sci-Fi, Futuristic or Time Travel. Reader’s Crown was a reader judged contest and I(…)

Dear Ms. Griffin, When reading your romantic suspense books, one thing I can count on is that the underlying reason for the suspense plot won’t be too far out in Never Never land. Perhaps there might be a slight lift of my eyebrow or the beginnings of a question on my face but overall, the(…)

Dear Ms. Buchanan. It’s no secret that I love your books, your writing style, your voice. I especially loved Hard Fall, the first book in the series that has become The Deputy Joe Series (with another one in the works, apparently). And there are moments of absolutely sublimity in this book that just left me(…)

Dear Ms. Zheng. Dianne Fox recommended this book on her LiveJournal and since she’s part of my “trust network” and I was intrigued by the description — “seriously fantastic” and “dark and gritty and wrenching” — I went out and bought it. And oh, am I glad I did. Tomas is a stripper and a(…)

Dear Ms. Meyers: Your two self published books were recommended to me as examples of how the new romance author is taking advantage of the self publishing system. My understanding is that these two books are selling quite well. Indeed, Copping to It and Cop Appeal average near 4 stars or more at Amazon. The(…)

Readers of this review should know that Jill Sorenson contributes f/f and f/f/m reviews to this blog on a once-a-month basis. Dear Ms. Sorenson, Contemporary romantic suspense is a genre I can enjoy a lot when a book is well-executed, but most of the time, I don't find myself drawn to reading books in this(…)

Dear Ms. Griffin, I got all excited when Jane sent me a copy of your latest book, “Unforgivable.” I’ve come to expect top notch suspense and romance from you and this latest one doesn’t disappoint. Well, not that much. Dr. Mia Voss is one of the experts in her field of DNA recovery. Working for(…)

Dear Ms. Connor, I’m glad I didn’t read the back blurb for your latest Harlequin Intrigue before finishing it. Otherwise, I’d have thought it was just another “hero and heroine in close proximity fighting off sexual tension while some sadistic villain threatens her” type of book. Instead, I think it’s much better than that blurb(…)

Dear Ms Miller, Thank you for submitting this novel to us for possible review. And for including an excerpt! Never underestimate that since it helps us choose what we’re going to try. And while the subject matter for the book might seem a real downer for some, the way you handled it moved it to(…)

Because this book is so awesome, it needs more than one review. Dear Ms. Brook, I’ve greatly enjoyed many of your books, yet for some reason I’ve never felt compelled to review one until now. While that may be perceived as rude, it turns out that other reviewers at DA (or other blogs) have gotten(…)

Dear Ms. Brook, The Iron Duke is a steampunk romance and it is very different in setting and genre from most of the romances I've read. It’s not really paranormal, but rather science fiction set in a partly-historical setting. A kind of "what if" world. What if nanotechnology had been invented by the Asian nation(…)
