Dear Ms. McCarthy: You are fast becoming one of my go to authors. This was a fun, sweet, and very sexy romance. I want more of these. Russ Evans has been trying to track down a fraudster, Trevor Dean, who is preying on women in online dating forums. He romances them, takes their money, and(…)

Dear Ms. Johnston: I know I haven’t read you in a long time, but when I got an ARC of this book I confess that I just had to read it. Tall, dark, and gorgeous always does it for me. Thankfully, the characters lived up to the cover and despite some small problems here and(…)

Note: It will be hard to totally avoid spoilers in this review. Dear Laura Baumbach and Josh Lanyon, Dr. Sarah read and recommended “Mexican Heat” back in February but it’s taken me this long for a spare moment to check it out. Hot action, hot love and hot loving all rolled up in one book.(…)

Dear Ms. Rowland: I’ve been stuck in a reading rut for months. Nothing has appealed to me. Even books I was dying to get my hands on 6 months ago have languished away unread on my bookshelves. After I explained my situation to Jane, she recommended your work and I’m glad that she did. I (…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell. This book reads like what I imagine being inside a guy’s head must be like. Lots of stonewalling, lots of mixed motivations, lots of confused emotions. This ability you have to get emotions perfectly right and to show how they are so very wrong-headed is both the beauty and the problem with(…)

Dear Ms. Miller, Well, this one certainly lives up to the “Blaze” standards of sex, more sex and ultimately true love. And the heroine has a cool profession/trade as well as there being a hot cop hero. Jack Riley is just looking for someone to arrest to take the edge off his anger at almost(…)

Dear Ms. Griffin, After finishing the first book in this series, “Thread of Fear,” I was looking forward to reading the story of that heroine’s (Fiona) sister, Courtney Glass. I’ll be honest and admit I’m more of a Fiona in real life – I do everything I should, worry about not going too far over(…)

Dear Ms. Andrews: I’m participating in Keishon’s TBR challenge. Last year I signed up and did all of one challenge read. This year, I was determined to be more consistent. It helps that two of other compadres of mine here at Dear Author are participating as well. While technically not in my TBR pile, this(…)

Dear Ms. Robb: I have had an up and down relationship with the In Death books since the series went hardcover. Happily for me, Promises in Death marks an upswing, an effective blending of the police procedural and personal aspects of Eve Dallas’s life and a particularly moving storyline featuring everyone’s favorite ME, Morris. When(…)

Dear Ms. Wilks: I fell for Lily Yu and Rule Turner in Tempting Danger and despite the many twists and turns that the series took, I haven’t lost my affection for them. When I first read the series, I thought it was going to be a supernatural Eve/Roarke-ish type series where Lily Yu, a former(…)

Dear Ms Steward, Since I’ve had pretty good luck with the Harlequin Steeple Hill Love Inspired suspense line, I thought I’d give your book a try. One thing I like about this line is that it doesn’t seem to rely on the use of super secret, black ops style businesses. Your book is a case(…)

Dear Ms. Dahl: I kept meaning to read your historical books. Janet aka Robin wrote a wonderful reivew of A Rake’s Guide to Pleasure but I always feel compelled to read the new books with my free time. When your contemporary landed on my doorstep, I thought that I would break my Victoria Dahl cherry(…)

Dear Ms. Robb: I’m of two minds about this book. The mystery was excellent. This was no thriller with marauding serial killers, but a police procedure story in which the principal officers unpeeled the layers of a crime step by step to find the surprising and somewhat convoluted truth. These stories also move on emotion(…)

There I was, sitting at my computer, reading a review copy of Pepper Espinoza‘s gay male triad novella from Samhain, Falling in Controlled Circumstances. I’m feeling pretty nifty that I’m reading a review copy-’like, OMG, people are actually giving me free books in the hopes that I’d write something nice about it. And I’ve got(…)

Upon the recommendation of others, including, Blog Happy, I picked up the November Harlequin release of Lori Borill titled Unleashed. I enjoyed it so much that I went and downloaded two other Harlequin ebooks by Borill, Private Confessions and Putting It to the Test. When I sat down to pen the “lightning” reviews, they ended(…)
