Dear Ms. McKinley. Your book was another one recommended to me by Denise Rossetti. Because I loved the first one she recommended so much, I thought I’d try this one too. And boy, I’m glad I did. This book has a very similar storyline to Zero at the Bone: two men navigate protective custody because(…)

It came to the reviewer’s attention that this story is fan fiction of Brokeback Mountain (Original posting.). This was unknown to the reviewer at the time of the review. Dear Ms. Seville. Denise Rossetti recommended this book to me late last year, but it took Maili ALSO recommending it to me recently to finally make(…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell. Ever since you revealed that your next book would be about Jae Sun Kim, the hot, sarcastic, misanthropic doctor from Collision Course, I have been yearning for this book. Yearning, I tell you. The problem, of course, with wanting a book so hard is that when it comes, it might suck and(…)

Dear Ms. Black. I reviewed a short story of yours in my review of Sindusty I from Dreamspinner Press. It was one of my two favorites of the anthology. I had this to say about it: “I adored this sweet little story. Patrick is a video game designer, working the final kinks out of a(…)

Dear Ms. Blue: I was so excited to see a m/m author at the RWA Literacy signing (yes, July last year in DC) that I bought two of your books — your lightest and your darkest, at your suggestion. The Happy Onion was your light book and a lot of fun. It was a sweet,(…)

Dear Ms. Morrow: I didn’t expect anything of this book except that the excerpt intrigued me, so to discover a gem like this was a wonderful surprise. I love how you played with both the Cinderella fairytale and the old skool Harlequin Presents tropes and came up with something so powerful and good. Tom is(…)

Dear Ms. McBride. The excerpt of this book on Loose Id really intrigued me. I liked the writing, I even liked the space opera set up. I was excited to read it. But the book itself is a book of missed opportunities. As I read it, all I could see was the idea struggling desperately(…)

Dear Ms. Flint. One day I’ll read something that’s not a novella, right? One day I’ll have the mental energy for it. Until I do, I’m glutting on novellas and (mostly) really enjoying them. Quick enough for a satisfying read, not too long that I stress about not having time to read. Dylan’s sister calls(…)

Dear Ms. Amara. I was reminded about your Holiday Outing by Jessica’s review of it at Racy Romance Reviews. I read Holiday Outing and enjoyed it, I think when it first came out, before I was reviewing. I especially loved the perfect depiction of a Jewish family, with all their lumps and bumps, but I(…)

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 Ms. Beecroft. I enjoyed, as I always do, your sublime prose and the beautiful love story. I had more reservations about this story than I have for the previous two of yours I reviewed, though, reservations all revolving around the plot. In addition, I’m pretty much paranormaled out, so reading a ghost story was(…)

Dear Ms. Maxfield. I listed this book as one or my Top Books of 2009, so I should do a review of it. I had such fun rereading it. I love meta books: books that are enacting the very thing they’re about as they’re relating it. Books about romance authors are a favorite of mine(…)

MediaBistro held an ebook summit for the past few days and there were some interesting tidbits released. One of the overriding themes of the summit was that the $9.99 price point was not sustainable. One panel suggested that ads were the best possible way for publishers of content (magazines and books) to offer a low(…)

Dear. Ms. Mitchell. I’ll pretty much read anything you’ve written, so I was thrilled when you posted that you’d written a historical short. An Improper Holiday was a lot of angsty fun, and I really enjoyed it, especially with the delicious little flip at the end of figuring out how two men in the early(…)

Dear Ms. Harte: A story that looked, from the excerpt, like it was going to be a quick and cute little Thanksgiving reunion story turned out to be a lot deeper and a lot more…experimental than that. And while a deeper treatment of the issues that the characters have in the story probably wouldn’t have(…)
