Dear Ms. Thomas: Thank you for sending me a copy of your third book. Not Quite a Husband treats the reader to the same rich and evocative prose that filled the pages of your previous two works. In mentioning new historical authors to be excited about, your name should always mentioned. Bryony Asquith, the granddaughter(…)

Dear Ms. Ione, I read the first novel in your Demonica paranormal romance series last year but found it didn’t work for me. Most of that has to do with my on-again, off-again malaise with the urban fantasy genre and the fact that its heroine had several traits that reminded me too much of the(…)

Dear Ms. Thomas-Sundstrom, I read your offering for last month’s offering of Nocturne Bites. Although I was disappointed by what I felt was an unresolved plot thread, I later discovered that it had been intended to be the first of a series, in which the various installments were connected by the mystery of an unidentified(…)

Dear Ms. Featherstone, My love of Joey Hill’s books aside, I normally don’t read erotic fiction, but your novel’s cover description caught my interest. A novel exploring opium addiction? Really? Since I’m currently trying to expand my reading horizons, I thought I’d give your book a shot. Anais Darnby and Lindsay Markham have known each(…)

Dear Ms. Thornton, It’s been quite a while since I’ve read one of your books, though I was a fan of several back in the day, specifically the Dangerous books (Dangerous to Kiss, Dangerous to Hold, Dangerous to Love) and the Devereux trilogy (Cherished, Velvet is the Night, Tender the Storm). The latter particularly had(…)

Dear Ms. Hunter: This is the last book in the Rothwell series which started off with Rules of Seduction. Christian, the eldest of the Rothwell brothers, has been an enigmatic figure throughout the series. He’s unconventional in his attire (often roams about his home on Grosvenor Square in a robe and barefeet) and is generally(…)

For readers not familiar with Harlequin/Silhouette’s various imprints (completely understandable because I confuse them myself), the Nocturne Bites are the paranormal novella line. Often times, they’re related to full-length Nocturne novels released around the same time. That’s not always the case, but it’s something to keep in mind if you peruse what’s on sale. Blackout(…)

Unlaced, as you might have guessed by the number of authors in the title of the post, is an anthology. It is an erotic romance anthology of three contemporary stories and one paranormal contemporary story. I admit that I did not read the last story by Denise Rossetti. I just haven’t been in the mood(…)

Dear Ms. Janzen: I really liked the first Steele Street stories. One thing, in particular, is that they sounded very modern. Over time, however, because the books are similar to one another, I stopped being impresed by the fresh tone because, well, it wasn’t fresh anymore. And with extended exposure to anything, the flaws in(…)

Dear Ms. Mallery: I’ve gone on a bit of a Mallery glom and the readers here will have to suffer along with me. Delicious is the second book I read in the Buchanan series. I read book 2, Irresistible, first. I’m not sure whether knowing the outcome of the story in Delicious affected my enjoyment(…)

Dear Ms. Thomas: I first learned about you when Sybil sent me a link to your excerpt (this is a link to your blog because your website? It is gone!). It was enticing but your book wasn’t due out for months and months so I tried to put it out of my mind. But then(…)

Dear Ms. Milburne: In an attempt to broaden my reading horizons, I’ve been trying out new category authors. And when I say new, I mean “new to me.” Generally, my rule is that I don’t read books that have “baby” in the title. High off my reading success with other HP authors, I disregarded this(…)

Dear Mrs Bowling, This is the second story of yours I’ve tried and the second one I’ve liked. Again you make good use of the short word count in telling the story of of young lovers parted, love that lasts and a touching reunion but with the twist of time running out for a happy(…)

Dear Ms. Blake: Perhaps it was a case of missed expectations but Tempt Me Tonight was like a rice cake: bland, airy, but not very sexy. The story opens with 18 year old Trish not giving up her virginity to Joe. Joe then goes on to cheat on her and Trish vows never to love(…)
