Dear Ms. Nantus, I like to start out all of my reviews by thanking the author for taking the time to write a story that captivates and delights audiences. This one is no exception. Rebecca Desjardins is a somewhat outcast – both by choice and by the fact she’s mated to a full human reporter(…)

Dear Ms. Harrison, I’ve enjoyed the previous books in this series on audio – this is the first one I’ve read. Having listened to Sophie Eastlake narrate the previous five books though, I still heard her voice reading me the story as I devoured Kinked. I also have a confession to make. Aryal was never(…)

Thundercats are Go – Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh This is a bit of a departure from my usual format, in that I’m actually reviewing a book I read about a year ago, but since I’m technically on holiday and having to take a bit of a break from the one-book-a-week format, I thought(…)

Dear Ms. Frost: I think I received this book in paper format, but I actually bought the digital copy when it was released on Tuesday because that is my preferred way of reading. I bought the book for three reasons. First, I had read the first one and it ended in somewhat of a cliffhanger(…)

Dear Ms. Briggs: I am constantly amazed at how consistently good these books are. I don’t mind waiting a year between books if it means that each story is as good as the last one. “Frost Burned” is the seventh book in the Mercedes Thompson series. Mercedes is an auto repair mechanic and coyote, a(…)

Dear Ms. Callahan: I was excited when I received the pitch for this book because I hadn’t read a medieval in quite a long time. The added element of mysticism intrigued me. The setting is supposed to be outside the Carpathian Mountains near Transylvania but while that is where the book is situated, the language(…)

Dear Ms. Ashley: 2012 was definitely “The Year of Kristen Ashley” for me. I read about 20 of your books. And then I read most of them again. Generally speaking, your contemporary romances work better for me than your paranormals, as I find your world building to be occasionally half-hearted. I don’t say this as(…)

Lord of the Fading Lands by CL Wilson is recommended by Amy Kathryn. Like most who drop by Dear Author, I must get my fix everyday. A chapter after the alarm goes off and before I can throw the covers off, a few pages on the ereader as I grab lunch, or even a whole(…)

Dear Ms. Callahan: I did receive a copy of your book from a publicist to review but I ended up buying the book from Amazon as I believe it was discounted at one point and I prefer to read digital over paper. I had heard good things about your book and was excited to read(…)

Dear Ms Briggs, I’m not just an avid reader of your Mercy Thompson series and your Alpha & Omega series, I’m the sort of fan who counts off the days until your next book like a kid counting the days until Christmas. But the problem with Christmas is that the wait can make even good(…)

Dear Ms. Hendren: Your book came to my attention through the recommendation sent to Sarah and I via our podcast email. In the podcast, Sarah and I both buy the book. I hoped it was going to be as awesome as promised, unfortunately this young adult novel read as juvenile as its characters. There was(…)

Dear Ms. Reus: Anyone who listens to the podcasts will know that I (and Sarah Wendell) are huge fans of werewolf books, particularly those that involve a pack dynamic. I was so excited to read this story. The promotional materials refers to the heroine being an Alpha and a “strong leader.” Apparently being a strong(…)

Dear Ms. Dare. You have a knack for writing characters who are all different, no matter how many times you seem to write them into similar situations or how similar they seem at the start. And your conflicts are entirely character-based, so the conflicts are all different. I find your construction of BDSM sometimes requires(…)

Dear Ms. Eden: The opening scene of the book is intriguing because it doomed a character to a horrible fate, or so he believes. Keenan is an angel of death and he has been dispatched to harvest the soul of Nicole St. James. He finds her suffering a horrific attack at the hands of a vampire(…)

Dear Ms. Barry: In my hunt for more shifter books, I came across your November title. I had heard good things about you in the past. Your book, Body Master, won the 2011 Winner of RomCon’s 2011 Reader’s Crown for Best Sci-Fi, Futuristic or Time Travel. Reader’s Crown was a reader judged contest and I(…)
