Dear Ms. Goodman: Your books always present a challenge for me to review because oftentimes the plot is a mystery and thus delving into the story can ruin the surprise for many readers. The Last Renegade is one of those types of stories. Set in Wyoming Territory, 1888, Lorraine Berry answered a newspaper ad to(…)

Dear Ms. Reid: I was introduced to your work through the Blogger Bundle Volume II: WeWriteRomance.com Selects Presents that was released by Harlequin at the start of the year. I really enjoyed your work and after exhausting your digital backlist (which, at the time, was about 4 titles) I proceeded to hunt down most of(…)

Dear Ms. Bourne: This was such a hard review to write and not for the same reason I struggled with The Spymaster’s Lady. The Spymaster’s Lady was more No Way Out and there were a lot of secrets and surprises that I didn’t want to give away. The Forbidden Rose is has more of a(…)

Dear Ms. Nash: I think this is the first book I’ve read of yours and I read it because of the excerpt that was posted. The excerpt was intriguing. Elizabeth Ashburton was attending a wedding of one of her closest friends at St. George’s. Danger presents itself at the wedding and her only course of(…)

Dear Ms. O’Keefe: I actually read this book first. I think it was for sale at Amazon Kindle for some crazy low amount like $1.40 or something. It is actually book 2 of the Mitchells of Riverview Inn. I reviewed book 1 yesterday, Baby Makes Three. Max Mitchell has been hiding out in the Catskills(…)

Dear Ms. Anderson: Over time, the Australia/New Zealand Harlequin Presents (HPs) have become my favorites mostly because I feel that the women are slightly more emancipated in these stories (not always of course). Pleasured features the requisite millionaire but the heroine isn’t a virgin. Instead, she’s provocative and proactive. Sienna, on vacation in Sydney, is(…)

Dear Ms. Overton, Did someone describe your book as being about cooking? Sweets? Falling in love? Oh, yes. All of the above. And since I have no “won’t” power when confronted with anything sweet, I was so there about getting it. And reading it. It was just writing a review that took me awhile. For(…)

Dear Mrs. Hartman, After the A grade I gave the last book of yours I read, I had high hopes for this one. Perfect heroine and slacker hero find love fifteen years later despite having to overcome the mistaken images they’ve maintained of each other over the years? Okay, I can go with that. Heroine(…)

Dear Ms. Carlyle: In contemplating your backlist, I’ve decided that you are one of the most consistent authors I read. My favorite book of yours remains the first one, My False Heart published back in 1999. I don’t know whether it is my favorite because it’s the first one I read by you or whether(…)

Dear Ms. Gifford, Your name was on my list of authors to try so when I spotted your latest release and realized it was about weavers in Flanders during the middle ages, I decided to try it. Hey, no knights, different setting, middle class, little used historical incident – I’m there. True it has a(…)
