Dear Ms. Kelly, I think most US citizens would agree with me that getting a visit from someone in professional attire who says, “We just need to speak with you a moment. We’re from the IRS.” is not a favorite way to start the day. Or end it. Discovering that your heroine, Tara Holloway, is [...]

Dear Ms. Kleypas: I may be in the minority of readers in this, but I really prefer your contemporary books to your historicals. I find your contemporary voice more confident, fluent, and engaging, and, more specifically, I find Travis series books reliable comfort reads. Since we already had reviews of Sugar Daddy and Smooth Talking [...]

Dear Ms. Benjamin: My blogging partner, Jayne, reviewed a few of your books and I always meant to see read them. When I was perusing the coming soon catalog I spotted the print release of Brand New Me and hopped right over to Amazon to order it. I spent the weekend reading the entire series. [...]

Dear Ms. Graves, Lately I’ve been trying to read more new-to-me authors and when your latest book, “Heartstrings and Diamond Rings” landed in my arc pile, it was fate. I had heard you have a good reputation for humor and this story certainly backs that up. That plus good hero/heroine snappy dialogue are what makes [...]

Happy, Texas (1999) Genre: Comedy/Crime/Romance Grade: B- The bonus features on the DVD show that this film played well at the Sundance Festival but honestly, I don’t remember hearing about it when it was released. Nor much about it since then – which is a shame since it’s a lighthearted, feel good comedy/romance with some [...]

Dear Ms. Griffin, When reading your romantic suspense books, one thing I can count on is that the underlying reason for the suspense plot won’t be too far out in Never Never land. Perhaps there might be a slight lift of my eyebrow or the beginnings of a question on my face but overall, the [...]

Dear Ms. Dellin, I had read some of your older historical novels when I first got back into reading romance lo these 15 years ago and, hate to say it but, though they were good, they didn’t set me on fire. The description of this book as the beginning of a “heartwarming new series” didn’t [...]

Dear Ms. Reeves, Your debut YA novel, Bleeding Violet, was one of my favorite books of last year, so when you emailed me with an offer to review an ARC of your second book, Slice of Cherry, I jumped at the chance. Slice of Cherry is written in third person omniscient narration, but the only [...]

Dear Ms. Griffin, I got all excited when Jane sent me a copy of your latest book, “Unforgivable.” I’ve come to expect top notch suspense and romance from you and this latest one doesn’t disappoint. Well, not that much. Dr. Mia Voss is one of the experts in her field of DNA recovery. Working for [...]

Dear Ms Cote, I read and enjoyed “Her Inheritance Forever,” the second book in this “Texas Star of Destiny” series last autumn. I remember liking the fact that you showed a slightly different view of Texas history than I’d read before and also that the heroine was Mexican. This time around the German settlers in [...]

Dear Ms. Griffin, You are my go-to author for thrillers and romantic suspense. “Unspeakable” is taut, hot, had me glued to it for the last 100 pages and is on my rec list for July releases. Elaina McCord doesn’t want to be working in the FBI office in Brownsville, Texas but that’s where she was [...]

Dear Ms McDonough, I’m a fan of westerns and though that subgenre is making a bit of a comeback as a romance setting, pickings are still slim. It does appear to be a favorite choice of setting for inspies and that is what lead me to read book one in the Texas Boardinghouse Brides series, [...]
