Dear Ms. Rice: Sometimes authors and readers have some kind of strange sychronicity where everything that author writes hits all the buttons of the reader and everyone else on the outside looks on in befuddled wonderment. Objectively I can see that there are things that don’t work very well in this book. There is the(…)

I’ve been reading a lot of ARCs so most of my reading list are for titles not published until November, December and January. I hope that is okay with the readers. Contemporary: Holiday Kisses, an anthology by Shannon Stacey, HelenKay Dimon, Jaci Burton, and Alison Kent. I liked all the stories in this contemporary Christmas(…)

Dear Ms. Rice: In the last series of books you wrote for Avon Red, the heroes were, well, of questionable heroic quality. I had some problems fully embracing those stories, although, in some sense, those anti hero stories gave me much greater food for thought.

Dear Ms. Jennings: I don’t think it is any secret I enjoyed this book. It sent me on an EJ/LMR glom which I blogged about a month ago. Weirdly I thought this book was a September release but alas it is an August release thus my belated recommendation and review. While I totally sucked this(…)

Dear Ms. Rice: About a month ago, I went on a reading binge of your books. As I stated in my previous summary, you have some writing tics that carry from book to book and Into the Crossfire is no exception. The hero is Sam Reston, a former Navy SEAL, who is part owner in(…)

Today I bring you my least favorite LMR book (and apparently the only one my blogging partner, Janine, has in her to be read pile). Dangerous Secrets starts out with a superb prologue. There is a watcher on a hill observing(…)

Dear Ms. Rice: I don’t remember which order I read the Lisa Marie Rice books but I do know that Woman on the Run was one of the latter books in my glom. It features a slightly different heroine (one more cosmopolitan but who ends up embracing small town life) and the standard hero (tall,(…)

I am a glommer and if I find a book that I like, I usually go and purchase the backlist of that author. This is particularly easy to do in this day of digital backlists. It’s even easier if the author you are glomming is a epublished author as is the case with Lisa Marie(…)

Lisa Marie Rice was one of the first ebook authors that I recall garnering a large internet following. Her Midnight series– Midnight Man, Midnight Run, Midnight Angel are some of the most often recommended Ellora’s Cave books. She is often compared to Linda Howard in terms of blending action with sensuality and her strong male(…)
