Dear Ms. Fraser: Jennie: I requested your book from NetGalley more or less on a whim; the blurb described a couple who hastily engaged in a marriage of convenience finally coming together after having been separated by the hero’s military service, and the obstacles they face. I’ve recently read and enjoyed several similar stories, so I(…)

Dear Ms. Taylor, Your previous novel, Daughter of Smoke and Bone, was my favorite read of 2011. In it, readers met Karou, a blue-haired art student from Prague who also happened to be the human adopted daughter of monsters. The unfolding of Karou’s story, her history with the chimera, and her connection to the global(…)

Janine: I’ve been hankering for Nalini Singh’s Kiss of Snow ever since I realized Hawke would be paired with Sienna, and was so excited to receive the ARC that even though I was in the middle of two other books, I dropped them to read this one the day I got it. When I had(…)

Dear Mr. Harvey, When we were contacted about possibly reviewing your first book “Grayton Beach Affair,” the WWII setting plus the intriguing German born/American raised hero who returns to the US on a mission caught my attention. Now this was something different and I looked forward to discovering how a romance could develop between Christian(…)

Dear Mr. London, You promised us romance in the second book in the “French Letters” trilogy and you delivered. You promised us characters who are “Engaged in War” as the Allies liberate France and you delivered. You promised us answers to some of the questions posed in the first book “Virginia’s War” and again, they(…)

Note: This review contains spoilers. I would also expect any potential comments to contain spoilers as well. Readers wishing to avoid spoilers will want to skip this. But for the people who’ve already read the book, as well as the spoiler-loving seekers, come on in. Let’s discuss.

Dear Ms. Kleypas: I’ve never fully understood the phrase “two sides of the same coin”, but my feelings toward Love in the Afternoon perhaps gives new meaning to the saying. This is two books in one which could be a boon except I liked the first book (the first half) far better than the second(…)

Dear Ms. Kelly, At last, at last the final book in the Brandon Sisters series. Eldest sister Nan found love with a naval Captain, middle sister Laura married a naval doctor and now it’s youngest – by quite a few years – sister Polly’s turn. But instead of the Navy, the Royal Marines provide our(…)

Ms. Linden: I came away from this book thinking that I should have liked the story more than I did and I wasn’t sure why. Your prose is good, as always. You have thoughtful characters. I liked the premise – the story of a man whose honor was totally stripped away by a false(…)

Dear Ms. Jones and Ms. Bennett, Like my fellow Dear Author bloggers, Jane and Janine, I’m participating in Keishon’s 2009 TBR Challenge. Unfortunately, I seem unable to follow directions and completely failed to meet this month’s theme. Again. That sound you hear in the distance is probably Jane laughing at me. Again. In my defense,(…)

Dear Ms. Marriott, Your book came at exactly the right time. I’m a little burned out on paranormals and have been looking for a change, so your young adult fantasy was much appreciated. I just wish I could be more enthusiastic about it because it contains many elements I generally like in this genre. Zira(…)

Dear Mrs Hoyt, I love the beginning of a new series. New characters to meet, new situations to explore, new relationships to work out. Everything’s fresh and (hopefully) wide open. “To Taste Temptation” is, I believe, book one in what looks like a four book series if the fable at the start is our guide.(…)
