Samhain freebies: Pack Challenge is a very fun book and while I thought that Holiday Bound was a bit too short for the story, it’s a worthy freebie. 11/1/2010 11/14/2010 The Matchmakers Jennifer Colgan 11/15/2010 11/28/2010 Pack Challenge Shelly Laurenston 11/15/2010 12/15/2010 Snowy Night Seduction Arianna Hart 11/15/2010 12/15/2010 My Christmas Wish Ember Case 11/15/2010(…)

Dear. Ms. Merrow. I like your work. I love the English flavor of your work. I love your characters who are all definitely distinct characters. I love your rent boys. So this novella from Samhain looked right up my alley. And it was. I recommended it for October, so here’s my review…rather later than intended.(…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell. I’ve never actually managed to finish this book before. I’ve had it ever since I discovered your writing, but never managed to get through it, despite numerous friends for whom it is their favorite of your books. I always thought it was because it’s about a high school shooting and my partner(…)

This week is banned book week, a week that celebrates literature and reminds us all to remain vigilant against efforts to remove books from our libraries. The books challenged aren’t on how to make a dirty bomb or how to organize your own chapter of the KKK but books that have dirty language in them(…)

Mockingjay sells over 450,000 copies in the first week of sale and goes back to print for another 400,000 copies. That’s a lot of copies. You can read our spoiler filled review here. **** File this under the annals of interesting author promotion. Alyssa Day has a pretty professional music video with an original song(…)

Dear Ms. Burkhart: You wrote the Dear Author reviewers a very cute little note when you sent your book and I have a secret obsession with male prostitute stories, so I thought I’d try this one. I’m glad I did. It was a gentle, sweet story and you have a gift for writing great characters(…)

The Kerres have seen Richard’s love for Rose and now her family gets a taste of it. Rose has had her chance to do the “Lady Strang” thing in Exeter so I would hope that this will lessen in scope for any future novels. As well, despite the fact that Richard is *so* private about his feelings for Rose, he’s let them show so damn much that the whole country ought to know of them by now. Just get them the matching tattoos done and T-shirts to wear and drop this.

Dear Ms. Blackwell, I hadn’t read an m/m in a while and decided to splurge on this story of one hot Parisian chef who meets his match in a cool English food critic. Luc Tessier is hot tempered, sexually demanding of his minions – who really don’t seem to mind too much, a top vegetarian(…)

One digital book byte before bedtime. My Bookstore and More, the bookstore portion of Samhain, will be closing toward the end of the year. Readers will still be able to purchase Samhain books from the Samhain site but MBaM will no longer be offering other publishers’ books. I’ve asked what will happen to readers previous(…)

Dear Ms. Mitchell Joan: We all know how much I adore your books (well, not all of them, perhaps). This one was a departure for you, in that it was a paranormal and much of the plot — and the emotional energy — was focused on the resolution of the ghost story rather than on(…)

Dear Ms. Beecroft: When Sarah Frantz recommended this book to me, I knew that agreeing to review it would finally ensure that I read one of your books sooner rather than later (review books take precedence over pure leisure books in my personal hierarchy of reading these days). That it is a contemporary made it(…)

Dear Ms. Navarre, Your bio says you write darker Renaissance era books and the dark theme plus Tudor setting are what attracted me to “Devil’s Mistress.” Oh, and the Italian heroine is an added bonus. I’m always on the lookout for books with other-than-English heroes and heroines. Nothing against the English mind you, but it(…)

Dear Ms. Dee: Thank you for sending me Steve’s Story. I had purchased and read Ask Adam at the recommendation of other readers when I asked on Twitter for good erotic romance titles. Ask Adam didn’t work for me but you offered a second story and I jumped at the opportunity to take a look(…)

Dear Ms. O’Neill, A short story set in historical Japan featuring warriors sounded interesting. Make that very interesting since there’s no paranormal element. I can do without a lot of paranormal. So I downloaded it and fired it up. The weight of the past could tear them apart- In his first mission as a shinobi,(…)
