Dear Ms. Phillips, I wanted to read this book because of the Tudor time period and the fact that the hero is not only a commoner but a bastard as well. Also, I had heard good things about your Harlequin Historicals of the 90s. It’s slightly bawdy for the time with Dicken doing his share(…)

Dear Ms. Navarre, Your bio says you write darker Renaissance era books and the dark theme plus Tudor setting are what attracted me to “Devil’s Mistress.” Oh, and the Italian heroine is an added bonus. I’m always on the lookout for books with other-than-English heroes and heroines. Nothing against the English mind you, but it(…)

Dear Ms. Emerson Your mysteries and historicals have been among the books I’ve pondered buying from Belgrave House. But, as with many books out there, I’ve never gone beyond the, “hmmm, that could be interesting” stage. So it was with pleasure – yes, I’m being bad here – that I picked “The Pleasure Palace” out(…)

Dear Mrs. Riley, As I look back on the books of yours that I’ve read, two central themes stand out. 1) How helpless women were during most of history and 2) how it’s better for the little people to get out of the way of the powerful ones when those people are throwing their weight(…)

Dear Ms McCabe, Happy days, it’s something different. Tudor England with a French heroine and Russian hero. Definitely not the same old Regency we get offered everyday. Thank you Harlequin Historical. Sinful Alliance starts out wonderfully with a Venetian brothel scene showdown between two spies. One of them knows what’s up but the other hasn’t(…)

Dear Ms. Dunn, As I go back to write this letter, I find myself torn about this book. On the one hand, the back blurb does state that it will be about the last years of Katherine Parr, after she was widowed by Henry VIII and married a fourth husband, this time for love. And(…)

Dear Ms. Gregory, Once again we get to see the adroit tight-rope walking that it took to live in the Tudor court. While it’s more history than romance, the story of Anne Boleyn’s sister (the first Boleyn girl in Henry’s bed) is definitely fascinating. It could also be titled “Life in the Snake and Scorpion(…)

Dear Mrs. Gregory, Having read and loved “The Other Boleyn Girl,” I hurried out and bought “The Queen’s Fool” when it was first released three years ago. Then….life happened and despite the fact that it sat on a table right in front of me for that long, it’s taken me until now to pick it(…)

Dear Readers, This was a nice little book. It’s set in 1540 England during the dissolution of the last monastery by Henry VIII. Now, when’s the last time you read a book with that background? The heroine’s father has been the bailey of the monastery of Woodham which is to be surrendered to the King.(…)
