Dear Ms. Hunter: Reader Statch recommended your books a few weeks ago. Fortunately for me two things existed. First, the four books preceding Red Hot Renegade were already digitized and easy for me to purchase and download. (FN1). Second, I didn’t have long to wait until the fifth and final book in the series(…)

Dear Ms. Braemel: I like good erotic romance and even though I know that it is hard to do and there are some real clunkers out there, I continue to return in hopes of finding a new gem. While Texas Tangle isn’t a gem that I am going to re-read, it does provide more substance(…)

Dear Ms. Stacey: There has been a good deal of buzz around your upcoming release, Exclusively Yours, which is also one of the titles included in the Carina Press launch. Curious on both counts and always looking for a good contemporary Romance, I was anxious to read Exclusively Yours. And while I didn’t love, love,(…)

Dear Ms. Brenna: Sometimes the hardest reviews to write are the ones about books that are totally competent yet somehow failed to reach me as a reader and this is one of those reviews. The writing was competent. There was a sense of urgency that kept the story moving. The core of the book centered(…)

Dear Ms. Burton, After being inundated with shifters, weres, vampires, and all sorts of alien and/or immortal life forms, it’s nice to indulge in a Contemporary Chaser (yes, right along the lines of a Unicorn Chaser). I believe the only Jaci Burton books I have had previous exposure to have been in the Unlaced and(…)

Dear Readers: It has been five years since we've had a new Laura Kinsale book to read, and Lessons in French is quite a departure from her last book, Shadowheart. Callie, or more properly, Lady Callista Taillefaire, is a 27-year old thrice-jilted heiress who wants nothing more than to live in relative peace – and(…)

Dear Ms. Reid: I’m a big, but recent, Harlequin Presents fan. When the blogger bundles came out and one of them was a collection of Harlequin Presents, I couldn’t resist the lure to buy them (plus, they are $9.99 at the Kindle store which comes to about $2.50 per book). Although I’ve only read two(…)

Dear Ms. Boyle: I don’t think I’ve read any significant number of your novels but I wanted to read a historical. How I Met My Countess blurb promised a reconciled lover story and I thought I would give it a try. I purchased an ecopy. Miss Lucy Ellyson married Archibald Thatcher, a clerk, who eventually(…)

A Black Tie Affair begins a series about the Smith sisters who are famously as beautiful as the “Cushing, Bouvier, and Miller sisters.” The Smith sisters have had a long history with the Clayworth’s of Chicago, the last event being the hasty termination of their father, former treasurer of the Clayworth department store. There are rumors that Mr. Smith was let go because of something shady and this only serves to foster negative feelings by the Smiths toward the Clayworths, or so we are told.
Athena Smith fell in love with Drew Clayworth and he with her. When his parents died in the Fastnet sailing race, Athena was there for him. Drew felt that Athena had betrayed him and their relationship ended.

Dear Ms. O’Keefe: I mentioned on Twitter that I wanted to try out more Harlequin Superromance authors and Larissa Ione suggested your books. I am so glad for the recommendation. Baby Makes Three is not a book I would have bought through ordinary browsing. Generally I am not a fan of books with babies, featuring(…)

Dear Ms. Seidel, Your 1983 category, The Same Last Name, begins when three cars arrive at New York State’s Frank Lake State Park. One of the park’s forest rangers, twenty-five year old April Ramsey, greets the man who registers this group of six visitors. April directs the tourist to the best campsites for a group(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis: I like the blurb for this book. A search and rescue member of the National Guard having served umpteen tours of duty is finally home. He can barely think of what he should do tomorrow. All he wants is to rest, relax and recoup. But even that is a challenge because his(…)

Dear Ms. Lamb: I wanted to read this book because a) I love sports books and b) so few of the sports books ever feature female athletes. The sports/athletic aspect of the book was the best part. The rest of it? Didn’t work so well. <—What is going on with that chick’s breasts? Kylie McKay(…)

Dear Ms. Thomas: I read 18 A-level romances in 2008, an unusually rich year for me. Two of those 18 books were your first two romances, Private Arrangements and Delicious. Needless to say, your books have vaulted to the top of my “most anticipated” list. So I settled down to read Not Quite a Husband(…)
