Dear Ms. Reavis, I’m so glad that by the time I’d heard of these books, the second one was already out and the third one wasn’t too much of a wait. In Little Darlin’ you make me actually like a secret baby book and toss in a marriage of convenience just for fun. In this(…)

Dear Ms. Thomas: I’m always on the lookout for a good fantasy story. They are rare in romance, perhaps because those writers that are devoted to this sub genre are more interested in exploring heroic tropes that are common in fantasy rather than romantic tropes. The setting is in some fantasy old world country and(…)

Dear Ms. Margolis, Though I’ve been back to reading romance for over 15 years now, there are still way too many authors I’ve yet to try. In one of the latest big ol’ boxes of books that Jane sent me was a copy of your newest book “A Catered Affair.” For some reason I don’t(…)

Dear Ms. Morgan: You have your share of fans here at Dear Author. Sunita loves your medical romances. Sarah Wendell talked this book up in our podcast so I had to give it a try. Thank goodness this book lived up to its billing else I might not be allowed into the podcast again. Polly(…)

Dear Ms. Browne, I’ve heard of the “Little Lady” books but no, shame on me, I’ve never read them. But when a friend of mine told me about “Swept Off Her Feet” and that she’d really liked it, the blurb got me interested in it. After she assured me that there’s no faux brogue dialog(…)

Dear Ms. Rimmer: I’ve enjoyed many of your category books in the past and when you shared that you were self publishing a contemporary, I was eager to read and review it. Unfortunately this book didn’t work well for me. It’s not that the quality was lower because it wasn’t. It looked and read like(…)

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(…)

Dear Ms. Cooper, Anyone who follows you, me or Jane on twitter or who read this probably caught the tempest in a teacup over the disappearing book. For those who haven’t a clue as to what I’m referring: Jane was looking all over for Blood of the Wicked, and realized that she probably sent it(…)

Dear Ms. Chase: “He truly did love her. After all she’d told him. He truly believed she could do anything.” That’s an amazing showing of love. He believed she could do anything. The Duke of Clevedon falls so in love with Marcelline Noirot, shopkeeper, that he believed she could convince the entire world that they(…)

Dear Ms. James, A quick look at your other book titles and I see the pattern of “wink, wink, nudge, nudge” references to sex, especially of the raunchy variety. “Saddled and Spurred” will certainly not break this mold. So, what made me want to read it? I’d heard your name but never read any of(…)

Dear Ms. Davitt and Ms. Snow, Joan/SarahF has favorably reviewed some of your previous books here at DA, but I had somehow overlooked them. When I came across the excerpt for Accidentally in Love, though, I was hooked. I’m a fan of opposites-attract romances, the writing in the excerpt was strong, and I was curious(…)

Dear Ms Adair, Somehow I’ve managed to go this far without reading one of your books. Amazing, I know. I was surprised too when it dawned on me. But I’m afraid that “Hush,” despite the parts I liked, probably won’t turn me into a fan for life. Just too many woo-woo and WTF moments while(…)

Dear Ms. Vaughn: When your debut book, Warprize, entered the market, it was 2005. High fantasy romance wasn’t (and still isn’t) thick on the ground. I fell in love with Lara, the Warprize, and Keir, Warlord, and their attempts to teach each other the best of the urban and plains’ worlds. A couple other books(…)
