Dear Ms. James, I enjoy a good ‘second chance at romance’ story and the blurb, which mentioned the heroine standing in as an elf and later corralling kittens, sounded cute so I gave “Heating Up the Holidays” a shot. Mrs. Giggles 83 grade review didn’t hurt either. Nicky Paxton and Chris Spencer have 13 years(…)

Dear Ms Moorcroft, Do you have some inner drive to write flawed heroines? Because both books of yours that I’ve read have featured them but here in “All that Mullarkey,” you’ve really gone all out and presented us with a woman who might trip a few triggers. “Revenge and love: it’s a thin line… The(…)

“In this captivating tale of adventure and timeless romance, novelist Camille DeAngelis blends World War II heroics with witchcraft and wit, conjuring a fabulously rich world where beldames and mortal men dare to fall in love.” Dear Ms. DeAngelis, As people who follow this blog know, I’m not usually the one to read paranormal books.(…)

Dear Ms. Lang, I will readily admit that the Harlequin Presents line is not one I usually read but somewhere in some past reviews here, posters had mentioned that the Presents Extra line is slightly different from the usual Pregnant Housekeeper, Asshole CEO. Whoever said that is correct but unfortunately that didn’t help me like(…)

Dear Ms. Watt, Since I liked the first book of yours that I read so much, I’ve been meaning to try some more. “Always a Temp” is one that has been loaded on my Sony for a while and which I just now got back to. But while I liked it there are some issues(…)

Dear Ms McDonough, I’m a fan of westerns and though that subgenre is making a bit of a comeback as a romance setting, pickings are still slim. It does appear to be a favorite choice of setting for inspies and that is what lead me to read book one in the Texas Boardinghouse Brides series,(…)

Dear Ms. Morsi, I, for one, am glad that your husband sat you down in front of a typewriter all those years ago and urged you – in so many words – to write that novel that you wanted to. My reading would be the poorer if he hadn’t. “The Bikini Car Wash” is a(…)

Dear. Ms. Dreyer, When a friend told me that you had started this historical series, despite the fact that I’m pretty much Regencied out, I was delighted. After all, you’ve written some wonderful category novels such as “A Soldier’s Heart,” and “A Rose for Maggie” that I love. After I finished it, all I could(…)

Dear Ms. Watson, Picking “Can’t Stand the Heat?” to try was sort of like a cold call for me. I had nothing to go on, I’d never tried any of your other books – though that will change now, and the blurb: “Just the sight of Walker Barnes in her kitchen is enough to panic(…)

Dear Mrs. Anderson, If not for a list of editors’ recommendations for upcoming Harlequin books, I might have skipped past this one. Let’s face it, the blurb is fairly generic yet might lead one to believe that this will be all about the Scottish castle and Rob’s Lairdness. Plus it makes Maisie look like the(…)

Dear. Ms. Michaels, I will admit to loving to wander through bridal shops and checking out gowns, headdresses and accessories. There’s just something about all that hope and promise of a future plus getting to look like your version of a Princess for a Day that gets me every time. And though I would probably(…)

Dear Ms. Alward, The impression I got from the blurb for “Sold to the Highest Bidder” “All she wants is his name on the dotted line. He's got other ideas- For Ella, marrying Devin had seemed like a good idea at the time. Friends since childhood and in love with him for as long as(…)

Dear Ms. Stewart: Because I don’t follow many author newsletters, I was a bit surprised to find out that you were turning away from your harder edged FBI romantic suspense books for a more softer toned contemporary series set in Chesapeake Bay. The covers and stylings reminded me strongly of the Robyn Carr books that(…)

Dear Ms. Allen: I’ve wanted to read you for a long time and when this book was hand delivered to me when I was in NY, I felt like I had no excuses but to read it. I’ll tell you that it was a lifesaver. As I spent almost 10 hours at La Guardia due(…)

Dear Ms. Moorcroft, Since I’ve been having good luck with contemporary British authors lately, I decided to check out your latest book, “Starting Over.” Things were bubbling along nicely until right at the end when…well, we’ll get to that in a minute. Tess Randell is starting over. Her fiance dumped her by email just days(…)
