Hey, the woman has a right to her opinion. And I give her kudos for taking the plunge and posting them in a public forum knowing full well everyone would rip her apart.

Not exactly. We all have a right to our opinion, but none of us has the right to falsify. If the original poster felt so very passionate about her position, she should have had the decency to use her real name and not “borrow” (read: steal) someone else’s. Particularly someone with so high a profile.

It’s not only Romantic Times with this crap going on! There are many other on line groups and online ezines that are doing the same thing! Further, I’m sick and tired of reading reviews written by the authors themselves. I can name a few.

Sarah at Smart Bitches called Ms Falk and had an interesting conversation where she claimed that someone hacked into her computer and wrote that rambling mess at Karen’s. It just gets weirder…

Oh man… What a ridiculous string of comments. I have no idea if the commenter was truly who she claimed to be… but good grief. What a nut.

Now that I know the reviews are for me, me, me, I want some kind of compensation. Summer books keep getting three stars from RT and it bums me out big time. Can I send my therapy bill to RT?

Ya know, maybe there really are people who can’t tell fantasy from reality and need to be protected from the harshness of life . . . cue the twilight zone theme here, people. Because even if she didn’t write that, somebody did and somebody just needs to get a clue. And if it was really posted by her, whoa, what a hugh PR misstep because I’ll never buy that magazine again in this lifetime nor visit the site. Considering the fact that I’m spending most of this week shuttling back and forth with my father in the hospital, I’m just so happy to know I’m one of those women who spend all my time posting from the quiet of my home.

Sheesh. Give me a break.

Oh my God, are we STILL beating this dead (and by now devoured) horse???

I agree with Charlene. Tina Engler didn’t build her company by being a simpering, fragile female. She’s laughing all the way to the bank. And more power to her, I say.

Can we move on? Pretty please? Anyone read any good books lately?
