Dear Ms. Hill, I’m back. Remember me? I read Vampire Instinct a few weeks ago and while it was a nice read, it was just that. Nice. I like you when you’re crisp and edgy and take me to dark, weird places. So I picked up Vampire Mistress and Vampire Trinity and decided to give(…)

Dear Ms. Harris: Thank you for sending me your book for review. I suspect my review will solidify rumors that I just do not like erotic romance. I don’t believe that that’s true but I do find many erotic romances to be problematic. This is because I require some emotional connection to accompany the physical(…)

Dear Ms. Kitt, This is a difficult review to write because I have conflicted feelings about the story. You’re a talented author with a compelling literary voice. Taken isn’t the raunchy smut I expected. Unfortunately, neither is it an “erotic ménage romance” as the Kindle edition clearly states. I checked out your backlist on a(…)

Oh dear. Yes, that’s what I said when I finished reading this book. During the various stories I also said the following: WTF!?, Shut UP!, No way…, and Huh? Three to Tango is a collection of four novellas all featuring m/f/m ménages and the tag-line on the cover says “sex is best when it’s one-on-one(…)

Dear Ms. Jamieson, Someone who knows I like f/f/m recommended you on Twitter and I’m so glad they did. I’m always on the lookout for well-written stories featuring sexy situations, likeable characters, and some hot girl-on-girl action. Love Me fits the bill nicely. I really enjoyed it. I’ve complained before that f/f/m ménage romance is(…)

Dear Ms. Meyers: Your two self published books were recommended to me as examples of how the new romance author is taking advantage of the self publishing system. My understanding is that these two books are selling quite well. Indeed, Copping to It and Cop Appeal average near 4 stars or more at Amazon. The(…)

Previously in the land of Dear Author, I wrote up my thoughts about the Out of Uniform series by Elle Kennedy. This is a series of novellas published by Samhain Publishing and each story features the love affair and subsequent romance of Seal Team Fifteen. The first three stories were reviewed here and the last(…)

Dear Ms. Sherwood. I didn’t really expect to like this book. I love menage stories, especially m/m/m menage. So I read the book because of that, not because I was blown away by the excerpt. I thought the excerpt was too thinky, didn’t have enough dialogue, and the characters looked a bit flat. But I’m(…)

Dear Ms. Day, I never know what grades to give erotica, because, much like exotic foodstuffs, it is a genre that is peculiarly subjective to what Englishmen call taste, the French call bon gout, and everyone else chalks up to appetite. But let’s be fair, Ms. Day, most erotica is-’even without the idiosyncratic presence of(…)

Dear Ms. Rai: I don’t know about anyone else, but I read the Author promo thread every month and your blurb intrigued me. I bought it over at Amazon for the princely sum of $3.60. To give you a little history, I really enjoyed the first menage you wrote and published with Samhain but I(…)

Sweet Thursday by Mari Carr Lily, Killian and Justin were best friends in high school. Lily had secretly longed for both of them, but couldn’t summon up the courage to out her feelings even on their last day together after graduation. Fast forward ten years later. Lily, Killian and Justin find themselves at their high(…)

Dear Ms. Mady: I liked your voice and I liked the character interaction. I liked the idea of the novel but this novella was just that, an idea. It was a sketch and because of the brevity, I couldn’t buy into anything. I didn’t believe that there was an HEA for these three because there(…)

Dear Ms. Stanley: The only other book I’ve reviewed from Siren Publishing is the infamous Trinity Blacio story The Claiming. I do know that Siren is well known for its menage line called Menage Amour. This is one of the stories from the menage amour line. I’m not opposed to the menage line and neither(…)

Dear Ms. Bradley, I registered at NetGalley for the express purpose of downloading an advanced copy of this book. I've been a fan of yours since reading your contribution to the Hot Nights, Dark Desires anthology. "The Art of Desire," featuring a tattoo artist hero and his female client, is one of my favorite erotic(…)

Note: Even though I really liked Maya Banks’ contribution to Four Play, I couldn’t recommend the entire book because I didn’t really like the Black story. This is an occasion in which I wish publishers would sell digital copies of anthology contributions separately. Dear Ms. Banks: Your last foursome, Be With Me, was not on(…)
