Dear Ms. Rochon, When I decided at the last minute to join Wendy the Super Librarian’s 2011 TBR Challenge, I was relieved to see that the first month’s reading was category romance. When it comes to categories, my TBR mountain range can give the Himalayas a run for their money, and I’d been meaning to(…)

Sarah Wendell of Smart Bitches, Trashy Books is from Pittsburgh. Apparently it’s the law that if you were born and raised in Pittsburgh, you must be a Steeler fan. I understand this. I was raised in Wisconsin. In Wisconsin, there are two laws. First, you must cheer for the Packers and second, you must always(…)

Dear Ms. Burton: Your book first came to my attention when you posted the cover on your blog. I am not a huge fan of the man titty but even I, a scoffer, could not help but be impressed with the rendering on this cover. This guy exudes hotness like a furnace at a coal(…)

Dear Ms. Worth: I picked this book to read because it featured a football hero. I loved football! I love romances! I’m always drawn to sports romances. Unfortunately, other than the hero’s past occupation as an NFL quarterback, there was nothing sporty about this book. This book is all about one really unlikeable woman falling(…)

Dear Ms. Phillips, With books like Kiss an Angel and Nobody’s Baby But Mine, you were once one of my favorite contemporary authors. That’s actually saying a lot, considering that I’ve always been much more of a historical romance girl. But as time has gone on my tastes have changed, and my reading of your(…)

Dear Ms. Martin: I looked through the archives but I couldn’t find a review of this book at Dear Author which is such a shame because it is one of my favorite contemporary romances and one of my favorite sports romances. I recently re-read (and purchased a new digital copy to replace my paperback) this(…)

Hot Finish is a Save the Contemporary pick. Go here to find out details on how to win an 8 GB iPod Touch. Dear Ms. McCarthy: I love this series and I particularly love this book. One reason is because sarcastic, outspoken, irreverent and bossy Suzanne isn’t toned down when she gets her own book.(…)

Borders opens its ebook store to the public. It sells epubbed books using the standard epub encryption. Borders ebooks can be read on all devices that read epub. It is fulfilled by Kobo and thus has some backlist title problems which will hopefully be resolved over time. I’m not sure that Borders can gain 17%(…)

Bend it Like Beckham (2003) Genre: Comedy/Drama/Romance/Sport Grade: A- Jess: Anyone can cook aloo gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham? What better time to post this review then during the World Cup? Though as I’ve stated before footie/soccer isn’t a sport that gets me excited, I do love this movie. Jess –(…)

Dear Ms. Mallery: I liked this book but not as much as I thought I would. Maybe in another re-read it would be a favorite but for some reason I never became emotionally engaged. The hook is that Fool’s Gold is a town with too many women and not enough men. Charity Jones is(…)

Dear Ms. Gibson, I am a slut for your hockey theme books. You can give me improbable plots and unlikeable characters but it you throw hockey into the mix, I will give up for your stories. Why? I like to watch big, strong macho guys fall for women who initially drive them nuts and I(…)

Dear Ms. Barrett: With a title like “Quarterback Daddy,” it has to be a Harlequin. No offense to Harlequin and I like this better than most of the “Presents” line but I hope that non-series fans can look past this to the good book this is. Alexis Brown would never have contacted pro-football player Dan(…)

Dear Ms. Betts: I came across your book cleaning out my towering stash of review copies that needed sorting and sending out to the reviewers. I read the back and realized that it had a hockey hero. I love sports books and I set it aside to read. When I opened, it however, it started(…)

Dear Ms. Shalvis, Slow Heat is the first book by you that I've read, and hoo-boy, I've been missing out. Slow Heat is captivating from page one, and I might have even gotten a little teary-eyed near the end of the story-’it is exactly what a romance story should be: believable characters with challenges in(…)

Dear Ms. Mayberry: I’ve enjoyed nearly all your books and I’m glad to say that your most recent release, Her Secret Fling, was just as satisfying as your backlist titles. Poppy Birmingham is a former Olympic gold medalist who suffered an injury and quit the sport. Poppy is almost relieved to be out of competitive(…)
