REVIEW:  Strangers on a Train anthology

REVIEW: Strangers on a Train anthology

I was curious how the authors of this anthology came up with the idea for it so I queried Ruthie Knox. Here’s her answer: Strangers on a Train started on Twitter, of all places. I ran across a Tumblr called “Hot Guys on the Train,” which consists entirely of Instagram-style cell phone pictures taken (presumably)(…)

REVIEW:  Hip Check by Dierdre Martin

REVIEW: Hip Check by Dierdre Martin

Dear Ms. Martin: We are back with hockey! Yay! I wasn’t a fan of our walkabout to the tavern and then to Ireland and I really didn’t like the playboy hero of Breakaway. The male protagonist, Esa Saari, is a long time member of the NY Blades. Esa is from Finland and has been enjoying(…)

REVIEW:  Once and For All by Jeannie Watt

REVIEW: Once and For All by Jeannie Watt

Dear Ms. Watt: I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this book to read, particularly given that the heroine was a lawyer. I almost never read books about lawyers because most authors take such liberties with the profession that I cannot suspend my disbelief. For the most part, though, the heroine’s career was(…)

I kept meaning too but I never saw your name within the lines at Harlequin I usually perused each month. Jayne’s reviews of various Harlequin books has encouraged me to step(…)

REVIEW: Not Without Her Family by Beth Andrews

REVIEW: Not Without Her Family by Beth Andrews

Dear Ms. Andrews: I’m participating in Keishon’s TBR challenge. Last year I signed up and did all of one challenge read. This year, I was determined to be more consistent. It helps that two of other compadres of mine here at Dear Author are participating as well. While technically not in my TBR pile, this(…)

REVIEW: Irresistible by Susan Mallery

Dear Ms. Mallery: This is the first Buchanan book that I read but the second in the series. I think its my favorite Mallery book I’ve read in my recent glom. Elissa Towers is a woman who has made some past bad mistakes and is still paying for them, but she’s righting her ship and(…)
