Dear Ms. Brynn, Who is it who said that books about rock stars don’t sell? Well, in the case of this book, I hope that saying is wrong. Adam Nash parties like a rock star – even if he’s a country and western rock star. And he’s got the headlines and tabloid stories to prove(…)

Dear Ms. Enoch: After finishing the previous trilogy which I believe to contain some of the best work of your career, I was delighted when The Care and Taming of the Rogue arrived on my doorstep, ridiculous title notwithstanding. With the adventurer hero, I thought we might be getting something unique again. While prose in The(…)

Say Anything Genre: Coming of Age Romance Grade: B+ How did I miss this? Srsly, where was I? Dunno. I’ve heard about the “holding up the boom box” scene. I’ve seen it on so many “Gawd, these are the best films evah!” lists and heard from so many people that “you have to see this(…)

Dear Ms. Thomas, This is the last book in a trilogy that doesn’t read that way. Which is a relief to me as I hate jumping into a series and feeling over my head with past characters and situations. After reading the middle book, The Cowboy’s Promise, I knew the book on the hero’s brain(…)

The Big Easy (1987) Genre: Romantic Thriller Grade: B+ When this film was released over 20 years ago, I remember all the detractors and criticisms. No one from New Orleans talks this way. Whenever the NOPD makes the news it’s because of corruption allegations. Why must Mardi Gras always be mentioned in any film about(…)

Dear Ms. Kinnard, Despite absolutely loving the title of your book, I finished it with a sense of disappointment. And a feeling that if this is what contemporary Christianity is supposed to be, I want no part of it. Matt Greenlee, Senior Pastor of New Hope Church, has a secret life. For years, he’s been(…)

Sabrina (1954) Sabrina – either B&W or color (The Centennial Collection) Genre – Romance This is the version I first saw and the one I fell in love with. When the 1995 version was released, I watched it but didn’t initially care for it as much though I’ve come to appreciate it for itself. However,(…)

Dear Ms. Griffin, After finishing the first book in this series, “Thread of Fear,” I was looking forward to reading the story of that heroine’s (Fiona) sister, Courtney Glass. I’ll be honest and admit I’m more of a Fiona in real life – I do everything I should, worry about not going too far over(…)

Dear Mrs. Sims, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect of a Gay Victorian romance novel written by a mid-west cookie baking grandmother. But I guess it just goes to show that 1) readers should never prejudge a book and 2) any author can write about anything if the story is in them to be(…)

Dear Mrs. LaFoy, When I start a new book, this is what I hope for. It’s fun, flirty, sexy and a fabulous time. It’s what I read romance novels for. It’s a book that I read, waiting to exhale. Please let it hold up, please don’t let it go off the rails during the last(…)

Dear Ms. Britton, I’d heard that Harlequin has a NASCAR themed series but had not ever tried any of them. To be honest, despite living in the heart of NASCAR country, the area where the original drivers had souped up their cars to evade the ATF agents and run their moonshine, I don’t follow the(…)

Dear Ms. Hardy, I may not be a foodie but I love food as unfortunately my butt shows. I don’t have the greenest thumb yet I can manage to keep plants alive. Usually. Well, at least for a while. So anyway, watching chef Damon Hurst and landscaper Cady McBain clash and spark was as much(…)

Dear Ms. Parker, This book goes to show that a good author can write about anything and make you believe. From your bio I know you were a microbiologist and that you’ve visited Australia but never lived there. Well, this book swept me away to the Outback of Australia during their goldrush and sucked me(…)
