Dear Mr. Lanyon, You are so well known for your series that some readers may be less familiar with your stand-alone books. I’ve done my part to avoid this possibility, and I was delighted to see that you were releasing a new stand-alone novel. Come Unto These Yellow Sands, like last year’s Fair Game, features an academic(…)

Dear Ms. Merrow. I have historically said I don’t read werewolf books, but when I saw your name, I said to hell with that rule (again). I love your short stories and was just thrilled to see a longer story by you. And wow, was it worth it. You are (obviously) English, you make no(…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell. Sarah: It’s no secret that we love your books here at DA. Your No Souvenirs is on my list of Perfect Books. I recommend Collision Course to anyone who will listen. You’ve had some semi-duds (for me) and some it was incredibly difficult for me to read, but overall, I adore your(…)

Dear Ms. Arend, While heroines aren’t all the sweet young things they used to be when I started reading romances way too many years ago, it’s still nice to read about ones who are over age 30. And to have a younger man hot on her trail and determined to get her just tops it(…)

As of April 8, 2011, the three year lawsuit between Ellora’s Cave and Chris Brashear has come to an end. On April 7, 2008, Chrissy Brashear filed suit against Ellora’s Cave alleging that she was entitled to a distribution of profits from 2005 until the date at which defendants bought out her 5% shares. EC’s(…)

Dear Ms. Lynn: There are so many great things about your book that I feel kind of sad that my distaste for the heroine kind of ruined the story for me. Rock Me features a tattooed and pierced hero who lives an alternative lifestyle, one that is frowned upon by most of his family. Brian(…)

Previously in the land of Dear Author, I wrote up my thoughts about the Out of Uniform series by Elle Kennedy. This is a series of novellas published by Samhain Publishing and each story features the love affair and subsequent romance of Seal Team Fifteen. The first three stories were reviewed here and the last(…)

Dear Mr. Lanyon, When I began reading gay romance, or m/m, last year, your novels were among the first I read, and Fair Game was one of my top reads of 2010. My second-favorite fiction genre is mystery, so your books are definitely in one of my reading sweet spots. I didn't pick up the(…)

Dear Ms. Holley: Thank you for sending your book to Dear Author for review. I totally loved the excerpt that was sent and I waited impatiently for the rest of the book to be sent. I am a big fan of pack stories because I love the pack dynamics and the feralness of the characters. (…)

Dear Mademoiselle de Lully, Several readers recommended this book to me as the ultimate f/f/m ménage romance. They were all absolutely right. I bought it on Christmas Day (using my new kindle!) and I'm so glad I did. La Bonne was a delight from start to finish. I'm not going to include the back-cover description(…)

“What happens in Vegas-sometimes follows you home. Pro bull rider Chase Reese knew things move faster than an eight-second ride in Las Vegas. He just never expected to be driving home with a national championship under his belt and a wedding band on his left hand with no clue how it got there. Yet he(…)

I wanted to post this early in the morning. Our reviews will follow later on today. Today is Jane Austen’s birthday and to celebrate Sourcebooks is giving away digital copies of the following books (look for them at your favorite etailer): Eliza's Daughter, by Joan Aiken (Sense and Sensibility continuation) The Darcy's & the Bingley's,(…)

Dear Ms. Conn, To be frank, it’s the title of this book which caught my attention and made me want to read it. In a world full of Duke/Baby/Scandal/Duchess/Mistress/Pregnancy titles, this one stands out like a hooker in church. But it wasn’t just the title that grabbed me. The idea of a landscape architect and(…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell. This was not the book I was expecting. At all. Which doesn’t make it bad, at all. It just…threw me a curve ball pretty early on (not that I have any idea what that metaphor actually means) and just kept them coming. That said, I adored it. I adored Tony. I adored(…)

Dear Ms. Wren. There are so many things wrong with this book, so many points at which I could have gone “Huh?” in complete confusion — if I hadn’t totally and utterly bought into it because of the characters. I’ve read this book three times. It’s only been out about a month. It’s entered my(…)
