Dear Ms. Brady: Who ever is doing the acquisitions over at Grand Central of romantic suspense has brought another wonderful debut author. Grand Central is the home to Karen Rose, Annie Solomon, Marliss Melton, Susan Crandall, and now, Kate Brady. One Scream Away is a gripping romantic suspense, probably heavier on the suspense but the(…)

Dear Ms. Singh, Although I have not read your series novels, I have enjoyed all the paranormals in your Psy/Changeling series to varying degrees. Moreover, I have a real soft spot for angels, dragons and other winged creatures. So when I heard about your new Guild Hunter series, which has a world with angels, vampires(…)

Dear Ms. Armstrong, I know I’m way behind the curve when it comes to this book. If there had been a bus, it departed weeks ago and I’m the lone person standing on a street corner with only tumbleweeds to keep me company. There’s no reason it took me so long to pick it up. (…)

Dear Ms. Ross: I wanted to like this book. It promised to be a blend of romance and action featuring a strong female character. Caitlin Cavanaugh is the FBI agent in charge of an investigation of a serial sniper in Somersett, South Carolina. On the one hand, I liked it better than the last Ross book I read,(…)

Dear Ms. Kittredge, I was introduced to your writing by your short story, “Newlydeads”, in My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon. While that story didn’t work as well for me as I’d hoped, I still looked forward to your first novel. Sometimes short stories aren’t the best indicators of good novelists and since Night Life was(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts I feel a bit awkward writing this review because I know that you read the blog on occassion. I felt like I was on a Nora Roberts high the last three books. Angels Fall, Innocent in Death, and High Noon were all either keepers or close to keepers so I was near(…)

Dear Ms. Jaffe: I feel for you. I really do. You really, really must have made someone angry in the art and title department. Why else would they saddle your outstanding contemporary romance suspense book with the cutesy cover and an even worse title? I imagine that those readers looking for a fun cute read(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts: If I were to rate my favorite books by my favorite authors, this would probably qualify. It’s full of classic Nora Roberts features: three dimensional characters, rich family relationships (albeit dysfunctional), and two believable individuals coming together to give each other comfort and love. Your books aren’t about the big and grand(…)
