Dear Ms. Crow and Fox. I would not have finished this book if I had not been listening to it on audio book instead of reading it. In fact, I tried multiple times to read it when it was released from Torquere Press and couldn’t. Now revised for and re-released through Carina, it was also(…)

The Snow Walker (2003) Genre: Adventure/Drama Grade: B NOTE: This one has a bittersweet ending. If you’re okay with that, read on. At Susanna Kearsley’s urging I put this one in my Netflix queue months ago where it lingered and lingered. And lingered. She gently goosed me a bit about it in a comment on(…)

Dear Ms. Sherwood. I didn’t really expect to like this book. I love menage stories, especially m/m/m menage. So I read the book because of that, not because I was blown away by the excerpt. I thought the excerpt was too thinky, didn’t have enough dialogue, and the characters looked a bit flat. But I’m(…)

Dear Ms. Burns: This is my first encounter with your writing and it was a good one. In fact, this is a book I could have seen myself re-visiting if the heroine hadn’t annoyed me so much in the first half. Max, though, was one of the sweetest heroes I recall reading about in a(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis, I have a major problem with Animal Magnetism-’the heroine. At its heart, Animal Magnetism is a story about the hero's emotional evolution, with the heroine and his foster brothers acting as the catalysts that jump-start that evolution. Animal Magnetism opens with Lilah Young, animal rescuer, rear-ending the truck of Brady Miller, retired(…)

Dear Ms. Smith, When I told some friends I was reading your YA novel, Flygirl, and what it was about, one of them directed me to this article at The New York Times. It’s about the awarding of Congressional Gold Medals to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), who provided the United States Army with(…)

Dear Ms. Rose, It was actually part of the excerpt for the next book in the “Hightower Affairs” series which got me to get this one as well. If possible, I like to start at the beginning and that seems to be with this memorably Harlequin-esque title “Bedding the Secret Heiress.” Gage Faulkner is the(…)

Dear Ms. Rutland, Your book, No Crystal Stair, came to my attention a couple of years ago when I was perusing Library Journal’s best books of the year lists from previous years. Back in 2001, Library Journal designated No Crystal Stair one of the five best romances of 2000. I was intrigued enough by that(…)

There I was, sitting at my computer, reading a review copy of Pepper Espinoza‘s gay male triad novella from Samhain, Falling in Controlled Circumstances. I’m feeling pretty nifty that I’m reading a review copy-’like, OMG, people are actually giving me free books in the hopes that I’d write something nice about it. And I’ve got(…)

Dear Ms. Howard: I am a big fan girl and while I haven’t loved your last few books (okay since Open Season), I still look forward to your new ones. While Up Close and Dangerous isn’t going to sit on my keeper shelf with Dream Man or After the Night or the Kell Sabin series,(…)

Not only was her book, Spying in High Heels nominated in two categories: ‘Best Novel With Strong Romantic Elements’ and ‘Best First Book’, but now her series has been slated for a pilot production on the USA Networks. The series is based on(…)

Sophisticated flying ace Angela Hogan lives to fly but is struggling to keep her financially troubled air freight business going. Her major rival is(…)
