Seven Sexy Sins A few weeks ago, Ruthie Knox was raving about this book on Twitter so I decided to give it a whirl. I’m glad I did. Seven Sexy Sins is a bawdy, diverting read that skims the surface of real emotion just enough to make one care for its characters. Faith Hillman is, though(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts– I am baffled why such a good book has such a stupid title. Really, I am. When I first saw your book The Legendary Playboy Surgeon I snorted. The cover is awful–some dark-haired dude wearing oversized aviators is going for sexy and coming across surly–and the series description, “Heartbreakers of St. Patrick’s(…)

Dear Ms. Woods: I’ve developed a deep appreciation for New Zealand/Australian set books and when I saw this in the Samhain ARC listing, I requested it immediately. It is the first story of yours that I read. The Christmas story set in New Zealand immediately caught my attention. Merle Cameron comes to visit her sister(…)

Dear Ms. Napier: When someone on Twitter mentioned that your older book, The Mistress Deception, features a virgin widower, I bolted right over to Amazon to purchase a digital copy, excited at the idea of a Harlequin Presents playing against type in this way. That was not the only pleasant surprise of the book, and(…)

Dear Ms Hunter, A few weeks ago, I again dipped my toe into the Harlequin Presents pool. Now you have to understand that generally I have avoided this particular pool in favor of other Harlequin lines because the asshole:doormat ratio (as Jane likes to term it) usually drives me bonkers. But! I was assured that(…)

Dear Ms. Bell, It’s usually Jane who is trying to tout the contemporary but after reading “Tempting the Negotiator” I’m going to give it a go too. This is a solid, well written novel with characters I want to root for acting in believable ways in a plot that doesn’t ask me to suspend my(…)

Dear Ms. Napier: This was a bit of a surprise to me given how explicit it is. It read more like a Blaze at times than a Harlequin Presents. I also thought that it had a bit of a different HP feel. I wonder what those who don’t like HPs would feel when reading this(…)
