Dear Ms. Day: I requested this book from NetGalley after a prompt from KatiD. She enjoyed it and noted that it was reminiscent of the infamous erotic romance that is sweeping the book reading world, Fifty Shades of Grey. I have read your contemporary novella contributions to recent anthologies and really enjoyed them. I’ve often [...]

Breaking from our usual procedure at Dear Author, this is an early review. Twilight’s Dawn doesn’t come out until next March but Jane and I believe that readers should be forewarned. The first half of the review is spoiler-free. The second half, however, is not. I’ve clearly marked where that section begins so readers can [...]

Dear Ms. Marchetta, 2006′s Jellicoe Road, which I reviewed here, was one of my absolute favorite books read last year. When I heard you were about to publish another book, this time, a YA fantasy titled Finnikin of the Rock, I requested an ARC of the book and was thrilled when one showed up in [...]

Dear Ms. Marchetta, I have a bone to pick with you. I’ve got a packed read-and-review schedule for the next month or so, and I need to be able to move from book to book. But you’ve made that impossible. Yes, I blame you. It’s your fault that your book, Jellicoe Road, left me so [...]

Dear Ms. Solomon: I have to share with you a problem. Every book that I’ve read of yours, I have liked, One Deadly Sin being no exception to that rule. For some reason, though, I never have the “must read” urge strike me when I come across a title of yours. In this case, I [...]

Dear Ms. Bishop, While your other novels have been hit or miss (mostly miss) for me, I’m a longtime fan of your Black Jewel books. I discovered them at a time when I was about to give up on the fantasy genre and because they rekindled my love for a genre I’d become disenchanted with [...]

Dear Ms. Kery: I read Wicked Burn, your first NY Published book coming out December 1 and it interested me enough to look at your backlist. I purchased two titles from Whiskey Creek Press: Tricked Truths and Gateway to Heaven. I’m glad that Tricked Truths wasn’t my introduction to your work because I wonder whether [...]

Janine: My friend Jennie F. and I had so much fun doing a conversational review of Jane Lockwood’s Forbidden Shores that we decided to do it again. Lo and behold, the subject of this discussion is also a novel about an erotic entanglement that involves two men and a woman! This time, it’s Megan Hart’s [...]
