Dear Ms. Stein: Addicted is the third work of yours I’ve read. (The other two are Sheltered (reviewed here by Jane and January) and Restraint.) I’ve enjoyed all three works–Restraint is my favorite–but, after I finish each book, I think, who the hell were those people? That’s not a bad thing–in fact, I like it.(…)

Dear Ms. Walker: I read many a good review for this book but the heroine’s actions seemed TSTL (too stupid to live) for most of the story and it affected my enjoyment of it. The two main characters start out with a previous relationship that ended when Shay, a reclusive author, could not open up(…)

Dear Ms. Merrow. It’s no secret that I love your very British voice, your brilliant characters, all completely different from each other, and your wonderful stories. So I was excited to see you had another story out. And part of me thinks this one is different from your others, but then, I don’t think you(…)

Dear Ms. Reid (actually I’m just assuming your gender here — sorry if I got it wrong). This is a self-pubbed book that you sent to Dear Author for possible review. I enjoyed the excerpt and it hit one of my buttons pretty hard (*love* stories about prostitutes or strippers — no idea why), so(…)

Dear Ms. Crow and Ms. Fox. I’ve had a hard time writing this review. I made it a Recommended Read for January and it’s been a best-seller at Carina since it’s been out. But it’s such a subtle book, so simple and yet so complicated, I’ve been lost for what to say about it. This(…)

Dear Ms. Ross: I wanted to like this book. It promised to be a blend of romance and action featuring a strong female character. Caitlin Cavanaugh is the FBI agent in charge of an investigation of a serial sniper in Somersett, South Carolina. On the one hand, I liked it better than the last Ross book I read,(…)

Billionaire’s Virgin Bride by Helen Brooks – Brooks is becoming my favorite HP author but this one disappointed me. It sounded dated and didn’t have the smoothness in storytelling as her past ones. Zeke Russell and Melody Taylor were engaged to be married until Melody’s mother took photographs of Zeke with his gorgeous secretary. Melody,(…)

Dear Ms. Napier: This is the second of your books I have read, and it was selected purely by what was available on Fictionwise. Luckily for me, Price of Passion was a winner, an entertaining and smart interpretation of the enduring Harlequin Presents equation of plucky but overset heroine + darkly passionate and misunderstood hero(…)

Dear Ms. Crusie and Mr. Mayer: I have to admit that I was afraid to read your new Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer collaboration, Agnes and the Hitman. Your first book, Don’t Look Down never got off the ground for me, and Crusie’s other recent collaborative release, The Unfortunate Miss Fortunes, was not my luckiest(…)

Dear Ms. Anderson, This was my first book by you and I bought you because I read some of your comments on Bam’s website and because Bam gave you a positive review for The Assignment. I bought that one too, but started with this book. You may not know this but I like police procedure(…)

Dear Ms. Roberts: Thanks for stopping by. How fortuitous since I picked up your book at Costco ($14.19) and read it this week. Angels Fall features Reece Gilmore, a young woman who suffered a terrible emotional trauma in Boston as she was just embarking on a career as a chef at one of the hottest(…)

Ms. Davis: I bought this book at Elibron.com. Elibron carries no cover images and no descriptions so my purchase was based solely on a) the name and b) the publisher. I was in the mood for something chick lit and I was buying something else at the time . . . Oh, Hot Ticket. Gah.(…)
