Dear Mrs McLeod, Reading your Regency novellas is like snacking on a few petit fours with a smooth cup of coffee. A nice, small treat that hits the spot and leaves me satisfied without pigging out. Emilina Brook is a young woman of good family who is in a situation all too familiar to the(…)

Dear Mrs. Cobb South, Of all your regencies I’ve read, and that’s most if not all of them, I don’t recall ever reading a bad one. They are well researched, well written, and feature strong characters. But best of all, they’re different. I realize this has made it harder for you to market them but(…)

Dear Ms. Jewel, Scandal is the first book of yours I have read, but it won’t be the last. The book begins when Gwilym, Earl of Banallt, arrives at Havenwood in autumn of 1814. Banallt is a guest of John Mercer, who does not realize that his widowed sister Sophie has a previous acquaintance with(…)

Dear Ms. Jewel: I had Lord Ruin in my TBR pile for a long time but for some reason I never read it until I had finished with Scandal. In some ways, I saw this as a prelude to what would become Scandal as the themes in the two stories are quite similar. I feel(…)

Jia’s note: Because this is the fifth and final installment of the Gardella Vampire Chronicles, there’s really no way to avoid spoilers for the previous books in the series. Readers who’ve been waiting for the entire series to come out before starting, tread carefully. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Dear Ms. Gleason, This is(…)

Dear Ms. Maclean, I can’t remember where I first heard about your debut novel. All I know was that the idea of a group of female friends navigating through London’s Season to solve mysteries and intrigue made me very excited, so I asked Jane if she could find a way to get me a copy. (…)

Dear Ms. Laurens: What can I say? I can’t quit you. (Note to self, this is becoming the most overused phrase in the english language, a close second behind “maverick” and “change” so please try to eradicate it from your vocabulary). Temptation and Seduction is like 50th in your Cynsters series and it features the(…)

Dear Mrs. Kelly, I admit right off the bat that I’m a Kellyphile from way back. Once I got back into reading romance years ago, friends of mine praised your trad Regency books and after the first one I read (“Reforming Lord Ragsdale”), I had to have them all. It’s a lot easier, and cheaper,(…)

Dear Ms. Matthews: Imagine my surprise when I found a release of yours on Fictionwise that I hadn’t bought. I spent last week re-reading some of my favorite traditional regencies and I lamented anew how much I missed this sub genre. I’m not certain what it is about the trad regency that I like so(…)

Dear Ms. Caskie: I think the story started off weak for me and never recovered. The setup is one of those with a “hook” to last over seven stories. The Sinclair children, all seven of them, are supposedly so vain, dissolute, greedy, lustful, lazy, envious, etc because their collective nickname is “Seven Deadly Sins”. Their(…)

Dear Ms. Harris, I have been a fan of yours since reading your first book, Night in Eden, written under the name Candice Proctor. Though the other romances written under the Proctor name never quite equaled that first book, I have continued to enjoy your writing both under that name as well the name you(…)

Dear Mrs. Merrill, Your latest book (so far only available at Mills and Boon in both print and eform), is one that unfortunately doesn’t work as well for me as the last title of yours I read. Sorry but there’s just no other way to say it. The book starts off as a typical Bluestocking(…)

Dear Ms. Mallory: There is alot to like about this historical romance. It has a non virgin heroine who, a real rogue of a hero, a philosophical question at its core, and nuanced writing. There were some plot holes, though, that bothered me throughout the story that kept this from being an unqualified recommended read.(…)
