Dear Ms. Couper: I loved the cover on this book. It depicts exactly the image I have a rock star’s bodyguard. I couldn’t resist requesting it from Samhain when the review copy list was sent. This is a sequel to Love’s Rhythm which I reviewed last summer. While I enjoyed Muscle for Hire more than(…)

Dear Ms. Kolee: I’d recommend this book to a specific reader. First, the reader must not mind a super creepy, possessive hero. Second, the reader must not mind a little heroine uncertainty. Third, the reader must like a lot of agnst. If any of those elements doesn’t appeal to a reader, then I wouldn’t recommend(…)

Dear Ms. Novak: When I first received your book for review, I had some concern that the hero is going to be a jerk. I’ve been reading a lot of mean heroes and I wasn’t in the mood for that archetype again. I was assured that famous movie star Simon O’Neal was not a jerk(…)

Dear Ms. Reber: I borrowed your book via the Kindle Owner’s Lending Library although it is fairly modestly priced at $3.99 (currently). The book came to my attention when it was highlighted by GalleyCat’s Self publishing bestseller list. Taryn Mitchell is a twenty seven year old tavern owner whose heart has been broken one too(…)

Dear Ms. Morgan, I’m always on the lookout for a new book by you, and when I saw that your latest Presents release was the first of a new series featuring a number of prominent authors, I was hooked at once. Released as the Bad Blood series in the UK, the Notorious Wolfes comprise eight(…)

(Based off of Shakespeare’s famous sonnet) Shall I compare thee to the A Grade? Thou art more grating to my skull A good contemporary should be a lively parade But I find this book amazingly dull. Sometimes the heroine whines about life And the hero pretends to be a jerk Round after round of endless(…)

Dear Ms. Phillips: I count you as one of my favorite romance authors. I practically camp out at my local bookstore whenever your books are released. Needless to say, I was pretty excited to get my hands on this one. Georgie York is best known for her role as the spunky Scooter Brown on America’s(…)

Dear Ms. Raine: I think someone brought this to my attention because I mentioned I liked sports books. I never really equate sports and cars, but I suppose it falls under the same rubric of entertainment. This story is a car book and a movie book. I liked the movie aspects more but for a(…)

My first introduction to Sarah Mayberry was Anything for You which was a huge success. Marg, a commenter, said that it was one of the best friends to lovers iteration she’s read. “I loved how the story was not about Sam finally ‘noticing how hot his friend is’ but rather realizing the depth of their(…)

Dear Ms. Steel: It was with avid curiosity that I read your February release, Honor Thyself, feeling quite out of the loop for not having read any of your previous work. After finishing the book, I was less curious but a bit confused, and so I went to Amazon to see what other readers thought(…)

Dear Ms. James: Ordinarily I don’t read books that where the protagonists are lawyers, particularly trial lawyers because so few people ever get it right. When I read the blurb for this book, I admit to mentally groaning but I couldn’t help myself from opening it up, just to take a peek. I ended up(…)

Dear Ms. Cabot: You know that I love your work, right? That I have an inappropriate girl crush on you and all? So it’s with some dismay that I have to write this letter which talks about why I didn’t like this latest reprint of yours. Part of the problem was that the voice of(…)

Dear Ms. Holquist: I was skeptical that I was going to like this book given the back cover copy, the title and the concept. It just sounded too hokey, too precious. If it wasn’t sent to me for free, I don’t think I would have read it because I wouldn’t have bought it. However, what(…)

Dear Ms. Block and Ms. Staton, As the Dear Author discussion of the definition of paranormal romance was taking place, I picked up your book, Ruby. Although published as mainstream fiction, Ruby contains strong paranormal and romantic elements. I wouldn’t quite classify it as paranormal romance, but I think it could appeal to those readers(…)
