Yesterday it was announced that members of the U.S. special forces had successfully executed a mission to kill Osama Bin Laden. People acknowledged this news in various ways but while we don’t know what will happen in the future, President Obama made a point of noting that As we do, we must also reaffirm that(…)

Dear Ms. Brewer: Mitzi’s Marine is about a solder who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and lost his best friend, his brother, and his leg. I like these stories because I really want to believe that these soldiers can come home and live happy lives. Maybe it is romanticism of the worst kind but I(…)

Dear Ms. Bliss, Jane sent me Here Comes the Groom after I told her how much I loved your last book, What the Librarian Did. Like What the Librarian Did, Here Comes the Groom takes a fairly cliched romance novel convention and gives it the kind depth and re-charge that I think is lacking in(…)

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(…)

Dear Ms. Domin, Thanks again for contacting us about reviewing “The Soldier of Raetia.” I’m a pushover for just about anything regarding ancient Rome and having reviewed lots of m/f books about the era, I was primed to try some m/m toga action. At least I thought I remembered it was going to be m/m(…)

Dear Mr. Eisler: Fault Line was the first book of yours that I’d read. I’ve since read more, by the way. In the past, I have worked at Intellectual Property law firms as well as in the legal department of a Bio-Tech firm, so I am intimate with the portion of Fault Line that deals(…)

Dear Authors and Readers. If you will excuse a personal history, you will see its relevance to my review. I enlisted in the Army National Guard after 9/11. I became a US citizen and commissioned (became an officer) in 2003. I accepted a medical retirement in May of this year, at the rank of Captain,(…)

Dear Ms. Stacey: I confess that I haven’t ever read you before. I thought I had and just decided that while you were a great gun, your books were just not for me. Then, after seeing two recent releses, Becoming Becky and No Surrender, I thought I ought to give you a try. I tried(…)

Dear Ms Ross, Some of the other DA reviewers talk about how certain authors and their books are like crack. As soon as the next book is out, it’s in their hot hands and being devoured. I prefer to compare such books to potato chips. I open the bag and intend to only eat a(…)

An Officer and a Gentleman (1982) An Officer and a Gentleman: Special Edition Grade: B Genre: Drama (U.S.) Dear Taylor Hackford, Although I had heard of An Officer and a Gentleman (who hasn’t?) and seen many parodies of the legendary ending, I never got around to seeing it until I watched Searching for Debra Winger (2002)(…)

Dear Ms. Dimon: Thank you for sending me Hot as Hell. I think the guy on the cover looks a bit like Tom Brady, of whom I not a big fan but I promise I didn’t hold it against your book. I think the complaint I had from the last book is that the plot(…)

Dear Ms. Denison: I think I read a Janelle Denison book before. Maybe in a category format? I can’t recall. Wild for Him is the seventh book in a Wilde series. The previous six books featured Wilde family members and this one starred Ben Cabrera, a friend of Joel Wilde. I did wonder why it(…)

Dear Ms. Mallery: This is the first Buchanan book that I read but the second in the series. I think its my favorite Mallery book I’ve read in my recent glom. Elissa Towers is a woman who has made some past bad mistakes and is still paying for them, but she’s righting her ship and(…)

Dear Ms. Dimon: I mentioned before that your trademark seemed to be really great dialogue, snappy flirtatious banter. This book was no different. The problem was that while it had your trademark dialogue, it just had too much of it. I guess there really is too much of a good thing. Gabrielle Pearson thought that(…)
