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. Belmond, Before I started this book, I hoped that my reading experience wouldn’t continue the pattern of the previous three books – loved “Inheritance,” thought “Engagement” was just okay, enjoyed “Invitation.” In other words, up then down then up then maybe down again. Well, I liked “Homecoming” but definitely not as much as(…)

Dear Ms. Krentz: My favorite thing about your books is the interaction of your main characters and your dry wit that seeps through the dialogue. ”Canyons of the Night” is set in the same world as the Jayne Castle series that involves glowing green alien artifacts, rezzed amber, and dust bunnies. The idea behind this(…)

Dear Ms. Goodman: Most of your writing works well for me so it probably comes as no surprise that this is one of my favorite historicals published this month. In the foothills of Sierra Nevada, the year 1850, two miners come upon the remains of a wagon train and in amongst a pile of rocks,(…)

Dear Ms. Garwood: This review of Lion’s Lady posted at Smart Bitches is fomenting a desire to reread your backlist (I liked Guardian Angel a bit more than Lion’s Lady). However your latest release is a contemporary. The Ideal Man is a solid entry into the Garwood bibliography but I still long for the magic(…)

Dear Ms. Tyler: The first half of this book detailed a setup that I found pretty incredible, so much so that I set the book aside and didn’t finish it for 2 months. The latter half of the story worked far better, but only in isolation. Together, neither the romance nor the worldbuilding held up.(…)

Dear Ms. Burton: As you know, I really enjoyed The Perfect Play. I love football and I felt like the story captured elements of the athlete hero fairly well. It was scorching hot and had a believable love story with a great heroine. I knew from hints within The Perfect Play and by the included excerpt that(…)

Today is supposed to be a holiday but the news is coming thick and fast. I hardly know what to lead with. First up, though, is Pearson Australia striking a deal to buy REDGroup’s online book business and to partner to sell ebooks with Kobo. This is the first time we’ve seen a major publisher(…)

Cindy Hwang is the executive editor of Berkley/Jove. She is pretty well known to the DA crowd because she pens the quarterly giveaways for Berkley/Jove here. She also edits Christine Feehan, Nalini Singh, and Meljean Brook to name a few. One of her authors, Karen White, writes southern women’s fiction with a romance thread. When(…)

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(…)

Berkley and NAL are currently looking to acquire works that are 55,000 words of original fiction to be published digitally. These works will be published in print on a case by case basis either in a collection or individually later at some undetermined time. Shorter works are considered to be part of their existing “especial”(…)

Dear Ms. Kane: For an erotic romance, this book had both smoking hot sex and great emotional connection between the characters. Where it falters is in the tacked on romantic suspense plot and the totally WTF opening scene. However, as an erotic romance, it definitely delivers. In fact, of all the books you’ve written this(…)
