Dear Ms. Milan: It’s difficult to give a grade to each one of your books because your prose is so fine that my complaints, if I have any, always sound so mean (as in small not cruel). There are some brilliant things in this book, so brilliant that I needed more time spent with each [...]

Dear Ms. Fine: During my Christmas holiday, I sped through a number of young adult stories either self published or published by smaller houses. This is one of the better ones I picked up. It’s novella length. According to my handy dandy Calibre word count plugin, the Kindle file clocks in at a little under [...]

Dear Ms. Hancock, Your 88 page post-apocalyptic romance novella, Ghost in the Machine, published by Samhain, was unlike any other romance I’ve read before. As I was reading it, I kept thinking of movies like the original “Terminator” and “28 Days Later” – dark yet ultimately uplifting stories about human beings struggling to survive in [...]

Dear Ms. Marvel, Why did I decide to try your novella? It sounded cute, it has a sorta Christmas-y theme, and …..well, that’s it, actually. Yes, I know it’s now after Christmas but it’s still the Holiday Season so I figure I’m still good. Right? Darcy Burkell and James Jones grew up together but both [...]

Dear Ms. Dare, In the usual way of things, I am not a fan of the novella. Neither am I quite keen on the short story. I find both lacking in character, particularly in romance where that is the key to any relationship development. Neither the novella nor the short story offers an adequate length [...]

All she wants for Christmas is him. All he wants is everything…for her. Urban Fairytales, Book 3 As Christmas bears down on Eric Athers’s empty wallet, one question plagues him: What to get the love of his life when he has less than nothing?

Dear Ms. Rai, You are a new author to me. I am familiar with your name, as I have seen many good reviews of your work. So when I saw that your next book was the Persephone myth retold as an erotic romance storyline, and because the price was right, I purchased. I’m happy to [...]

“He finds love on the eve of a war he doesn’t plan on surviving. A Cybershock story. Dante knows the price of rebellion. The Grid created him in its likeness, turning him into a killing machine—tested, modified and enhanced to be a “better citizen”. Years may have passed since he escaped that freak show, but [...]

Dear Ms. Geary, I’ll be really, really honest – the entire reason I read this was simply because of all the reviews you have on Amazon. I picked up Matchmakers 2.0 when it was free several weeks ago, but I haven’t really had any inclination to read it. Then I was browsing Amazon and noticed [...]

Dear Ms. Fisher, You have a fair amount of self-published books up for sale. I think I tried one and enjoyed it, tried another and it wasn’t for me, though you have a nice, easy voice. When I was searching for self-published books to read, I ran across this one and purchased, as it was [...]

Dear Ms. Rowe: I requested this book via NetGalley because I had never read you before and I am always searching for good new erotic romance authors. I understand since then that you’ve written quite a few books before your Carina Press release which means Management Skills is not your first entry into the book [...]

Dear Ms. Toland, When I read the blurb for your novella I was intrigued. I am a sucker for storylines where a long-ago one-night stand resurfaces in the present, and unlike straight romances, in an m/m story it’s highly unlikely there’s a child in tow. This is a straightforward m/m contemporary romance, where the focus [...]

Dear Ms. Rogers: The premise of this short story is very interesting. The High Lord of the Forest returns after three years of war and procuring peace to live out his life with his love, Sabine. Sabine was a low born wolf and deemed an inappropriate match for Ciar by his mother. While Ciar is [...]
