Dear Ms. Holly: You popped my erotica cherry WAY back in the day with your Black Lace release, Menage. I’ve always enjoyed your contemporary set erotica/erotic romances, but stopped reading your books as your paranormal voice did not work for me. So when a Dear Author reader suggested that I try this book, I jumped(…)

Dear K. A. Tucker: I enjoyed Ten Tiny Breaths but I’m not sure I fully bought into the resolution of the story. It’s a New Adult book set in Miami as two young women try to make a life for themselves absent parents or guardians. Kacey Cleary moves herself and her sister, Olivia, to Miami(…)

Dear Jean Haus: I purchased this book sight unseen during an after Christmas sale on Amazon. It had quite a few positive reviews and something most band romances seem to neglect: a female actually in the band instead of just sleeping with someone in the band. At the sale price, it seemed like an interesting(…)

Dear Ms. Lockhart: I came to your book cold. It was in the DA submissions folder, but the excerpt was confusing, so despite the recommendation from Naomi Novik, I passed the first time. But something in the language stayed with me, and I went back and started to read it. I almost abandoned it in(…)

Dear Heidi McLaughlin: I really wanted to read this book after reading the blurb and hearing Tori from SmexyBooks raving about it. I asked for a review copy and you kindly sent me one. I suspect that my discontent with the story will be a lone voice because there is a lot in the story(…)

Dear Ms. Miller: The first book in this series (that ended in a cliffhanger) was a readable, if derivative, erotic romance. All In is told from Ethan Blackstone’s POV and he comes off as a whiney, angsty preteen boy. It was about as unsexy and embarrassing story as I’ve read in a long time. Maybe(…)

Dear Ms. Sorenson: This book sat on top the Bestseller list for weeks and I bought it based on chatter over at Goodreads. It fits into the New Adult category featuring post high school protagonists trying to figure out how to tame the world that is open to them. This title was self published when(…)

Dear Julieanne Reeves: I saw this on a list I follow as a recommended read but at $6.99 I was very reluctant to try it. Apparently Pamela Clare blurbed this but I can’t help but wonder if they are chapter mates or friends because the writing isn’t remotely as good as Clare’s book. I know(…)

Dear Ms. Ashley: You were easily my biggest discovery this year, and probably my favorite. Sure, I gnash my teeth and moan about the editing and the weird writing ticks that you have, but I read your books over and over and I pimp them relentlessly on Twitter. So, as I started to come up(…)

The stars are liars: how Twitter outs celebrity smartphone shills | The Verge – Remember back a couple of years ago when the FTC got a flea up its butt about blogger endorsements of products?

Dear Ms. Frank: I picked up your book on Amazon because I was interested by the cover (which has absolutely *nothing* to do with the actual plot of the book). Dr. Magdalena O’Donnell is grieving. She was driving the car that her 18 year old sister Carly was riding in when she died. Lena is(…)

Warning: The following review contains profanities, graphic language, sexual situations, and rape references. Dear Madeline Sheehan: I read this book in part because of chatter on an online forum. One of the readers said it was a love child of Sons of Anarchy and Kristen Ashley. She was not wrong. In fact, I would go(…)
