Dear Ms. Lee: I was intrigued by this book because seton mentioned how much she liked in over at the Amazon thread “How about HPs’ that you like“. Seton is correct that this is a bit fresher take on the mistress/bazillionaire trope. The one drawback is that I thought the writing was kind of rough(…)

Dear Ms. Burns: This is my first encounter with your writing and it was a good one. In fact, this is a book I could have seen myself re-visiting if the heroine hadn’t annoyed me so much in the first half. Max, though, was one of the sweetest heroes I recall reading about in a(…)

Dear Ms. Johnson: I’ve been a long time reader of yours. Pure Sin, Outlaw, the Braddock-Black series, are all on my keeper shelf. I’ve always maintained that you were writing erotic romance before those in charge of defining sub genres came forth with that label. I’ve read you long beyond when I think that I(…)
