Dear Ms. Garnier: I’ve been a fan of yours since “Satin Sash” for your ability to write emotionally charged love scenes and I’ve read everything you’ve written, although most of it has been shorter works including this one. I still think you write great sex scenes but the actual falling in love and character arcs(…)

Originally published in 2003, this anthology has now been reissued by Harlequin. I’ve read all three authors before, though it’s been awhile for two of them, so I went into the anthology with a little bit of preconception – both good and bad – but I was hoping and willing to be wowed all around.(…)

Dear Ms. DeWinters, I wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to get based on the blurb and excerpt. It sounded like there’s some dark past event that heroine Naomi is trying to face down but you kept it hidden through the into chapter that sets up Naomi and Zach as coworkers at some firm(…)

When Jane asked for lists of our “Best of 2012,” I got stuck on what best meant. Did it mean the best in terms of quality? The best in terms of most enjoyable? The best in terms of standouts? Did books I called best this year have to be as good as books I called(…)

Dear Ms. Raybourn: While waiting for the next “Lady Julia” mystery novel, I noticed that this little novella is on offer for the Christmas season. It’s not long, it’s not complicated and it’s not that different from any other Lady Julia story. If readers like this world and it’s people, it should be a nice(…)

Dear Charlotte Stein: I picked up your novella, Deep Desires, after Mandi at Smexy Books recommended it. Mandi was very enthusiastic about this book, and it sounded different, so even though I hadn’t read any of your previous works, I went for it. Abbie, the narrator of the story, is a survivor of an abusive(…)

Dear Ms. Rowe, It used to be that books set in the early years of the 20th century were few and far between. This situation has changed a little but whenever I read a blurb or description for a story set during this time frame, I still get excited and will always investigate it further.(…)

Dear Ms. Lin, I’ve read several of your other books and enjoyed them—I liked your novella “Capturing the Silken Thief” (reviewed here). I also liked “An Illicit Temptation” but didn’t love it—it felt incomplete to me. I bet, however, if I’d read the companion novel, My Fair Concubine (reviewed here), I would have appreciated your novella(…)
