Dear Ms. Kery: I really enjoyed Wicked Burn, your debut novel, enough so that I hunted down and purchased quite a few of your ebook backlist titles. From those I can see that you have eclectic writing tastes and from those I’ve come to acknowledge that, personally, only your straight up contemporaries work for me.(…)

Dear Ms. Carroll: I picked this book up because I had the jones for a good romantic suspense and when I paged through it I discovered that the hero is a former football player. WIN! I love sports related books. Alas, it wasn’t a sports related book but I still liked it. I’m not sure(…)

Dear Ms. Lamb: I wanted to read this book because a) I love sports books and b) so few of the sports books ever feature female athletes. The sports/athletic aspect of the book was the best part. The rest of it? Didn’t work so well. <—What is going on with that chick’s breasts? Kylie McKay(…)

Dear Ms. Ione: When I finished this book, I felt a bit regretful. In looking at your publishing schedule, it doesn’t appear like you’ll be writing more straight contemporaries anytime soon. Snowbound was a sweet and sexy contemporary that could have easily been published at say, Harlequin, in the Blaze line. (just for a frame(…)

Dear Ms. Kennedy: I was excited to see another sports book in the Harlequin Blaze line. My last encounter with a sports Blaze was Hard and Fast by Lisa Renee Jones and I enjoyed that book quite a bit. Bodycheck is a hockey book and it suffered a bit in comparison to another hockey book(…)

Dear Ms. Sorenson: I have read your category novels and thus I was excited to make the transition to full length mass market novels. This book had very real characters and very steamy love scenes. I found the suspense to take kind of a back seat to the deception/romance story and that, at times,(…)

Dear Ms. Raine: I think someone brought this to my attention because I mentioned I liked sports books. I never really equate sports and cars, but I suppose it falls under the same rubric of entertainment. This story is a car book and a movie book. I liked the movie aspects more but for a(…)
