Dear Ms. Croix: I know that this story is marketed as an erotic romance and to complain about too much sex in an erotic romance might be like saying that there is too much science in science fiction but I wished for more character development and interaction between the characters outside of the bedroom. Reid(…)

Dear Ms. Kennedy: I’ve really enjoyed this series you have written for Samhain and my biggest regret were that they were novellas and not full length stories. Getting Hotter is the first full length novel and while I enjoyed it, so much of the text was given to building up the secondary romance that I(…)

Forgive me, but I feel a bit irritable and thus my commentary on today’s news might have a slight edge. First up, we have Emily Giffin — pretty, successful, happily married Emily Giffin. Ms. Giffin, allegedly the nicest person ever per her fans, chortled over the fact that her husband called a reader “psycho” on(…)

Dear Ms. Spear: I mentioned a while back that I wanted to read your werewolf series and somehow your publisher, Sourcebooks, caught wind of this and the publicist sent me your entire series, both backlist and an ARC of the next book. I was overwhelmed with the generosity and sat down immediately with book one.(…)

Dear Ms. Daughtridge: This review is a testament to the power of the Kindle free chapter. I had never heard of your SEAL books until Jane wrote her opinion piece on the caretaking alpha, and someone mentioned your books in the comments. Although I’m not a big fan of military heroes, for some reason I(…)

Just a few days after the killing of Osama Bin Laden carried out by a special operations group that the press has called SEAL Team 6, Disney applied for and received a trademark for SEAL TEAM 6. The trademark is to be used in conjunction with “toys, games and playthings; gymnastic and sporting articles; hand-held(…)

Since last week, there has been an increased interest in romances featuring Navy SEALs. The Washington Post and Glamour magazine both took a stab at what makes these archetypes popular with readers but they only skim the surface. “They have all of these abilities that the average guy doesn’t even have,” White said. “They appeal(…)

Elle Kennedy writes a series of novellas for Samhain Publishing called “Out of Uniform” and primarily these stories feature the romances of the Seal Team Fifteen. There are two primary storylines in these stories. The first is the friends to lovers and the second is the player who doesn’t want to settle down but in(…)

Dear Ms. Monroe: One thing that I often find lacking in romances is seeing the actual courtship, particularly if you read paranormal romances with soulmate stories. I think that is why I like the friends to lovers trope or the marriage of convenience trope because we get to see the two characters navigate from viewing(…)

Dear Ms. Tyler: I was pretty excited to read your stand alone romantic suspense. I think it did a great job of blending the suspense and the romance. It was full of sexual tension but it also had a strong emotional impact even if I did think the villain was a little overwrought and the(…)

Dear Ms Ross, Last fall I read the previous book in this series, “Crossfire.” Yes, this would be me reading a book about a (former) Navy SEAL. The same me who often laments the high rate of SEAL heroes on the ground. “Crossfire” worked better for me than it appeared to do for Jane and(…)
