Dear Ms. Herron, A few years ago it seems quilting in romance books was all the rage. Now it appears that knitting has taken over. I’ve resisted reading any of these books since I’m not a knitter but in my quest to expand my single title contemporary repertoire, I decided to take the plunge with(…)

Dear Ms. Marshall, Hello down there in hot, steamy Florida. Lots of authors might choose various contemporary locations in that state for their books but I love that you’ve staked out early 19th century Florida and sea captains, privateers and pirates for yours. Then you smooth on a layer of Yanks vs the Brits to(…)

Dear Mr. London, You promised us romance in the second book in the “French Letters” trilogy and you delivered. You promised us characters who are “Engaged in War” as the Allies liberate France and you delivered. You promised us answers to some of the questions posed in the first book “Virginia’s War” and again, they(…)

Recently Harlequin USA put out a call seeking novels for their Medical Romance line. Jessica at RRR noted this in a links roundup post and wondered who the audience for them was, because she didn’t know anyone who read them. Commenters, myself included, quickly replied that she did indeed know some readers, but her post(…)

Dear Ms. White, Last November, I recommended your book “Redeeming Gabriel.”Since then, I’ve made it a point each month to check the historical offerings from the Steeple Hill line. When I saw this new book, I jumped on it and was happy to discover that it’s a (slight) sequel to the first one. I enjoyed(…)

Dear Mrs. Kelly, I’ve been a fan of yours for years. Back “in the day” when the traditional Regency still ruled and I could look forward to a book a year from your pen – or typewriter or hard drive – I was living the good life. But then came the bad years, the years(…)

Dear Ms. Rawlins, Since it’s been forever since I read a time travel story, I was all over yours when I saw it listed under the Blaze March offerings. I think that the blurb might be slightly misleading as I was expecting something a little hotter than what I got, but since a lot of(…)

Dear Ms. Ione: My first introduction to your work was in the ACRO series penned with writing partner, Stephanie Tyler under the psuedonym of Sydney Croft. While I didn’t know much about your stand alone writing in the Demonica series, it debuted during a time in which I was a paranormal slump. I didn’t feel(…)

Dear Ms. Fraser, Jane stated her intention of stretching her Harlequin boundaries so I decided I could yank mine a little more as well. Jane loves the “Presents” line but asshole Mediterranean heroes crossed with blonde doormat heroines just isn’t my thing. When I saw your book listed in the “Medical” line, I thought I(…)

Dear Dr. Austin, A dear friend of mine is a doctor. She and I graduated together over twenty years ago from UNC-Chapel Hill. I went into my profession and she headed off to medical school. Then came her internship and finally residency. The whole time she was struggling through her learning and training to become(…)

Dear Ms. Laverentz, Recently I read one of Jane’s reviews of a sports themed novel (using football instead of hockey). You use the world of the NHL as the background for your hero, Eric Cameron. I’ll be honest and admit that I know just enough about hockey and medicine, the background of the heroine Dr.(…)

Dear Ms. Donnelly, When I opened the package containing the arc of your latest book “The Winter Rose” I gulped. Reason one: it’s got a very nice cover. Reason two: it’s a hella lot of book. 700+ pages of trade paperback sized book to be exact. It’s the type of book that requires a big(…)

Dear Ms. Mallery: Accidentally Yours relies on the premise that it is okay for a mother to do anything to save her child. And by anything, I mean, extortion, bribery, and emotional blackmail. The biggest problem with this book is that it plays off the mother’s actions as cute and endearing rather than reprehensible, but(…)

Dear Ms. Vieh: While the first book in this series is my favorite, Night Lost takes a close second. It highlights all the strong elements that I loved in If Angels Burn and brings to the forefront a very romantic tale of souls finding each other against extreme odds. Gabriel Seran was captured by the(…)

Dear Dr. Shem, I read your book, The House of God, years ago when I was still in college majoring in my health care field. Hmmm, make that years and years ago. Anyway, I laughed my ass off then and I just did it again while rereading the (probably only slightly) fictionalized account your internship(…)
