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. Okay, [...]

Dear Mrs. Arkins,
My decision to try another of your books coincided nicely with Samhain’s offer of this novel. It’s longer length, screwball comedy feel and more contemporary setting are a 180 degree contrast with the historical novella “Don’t Fence Me In” and gave me a good chance to see what else your writing has to [...]

Dear Mrs. Dodd,
Despite the promise of eccentric aunts and zany robberies, I decided to try this contemporary novel. The conflict between sensible Nessa Dahl and undercover bank investigator Jeremiah MacNaught sounded intriguing, especially with the implied show down once the truth was revealed. And at first, things worked great but then slowly the eccentricities [...]

Dear Ms. Donnelly,
When I opened the package containing the arc of your latest book “The Winter Rose” I gulped. Reason one: it’s got a very nice cover. Reason two: it’s a hella lot of book. 700+ pages of trade paperback sized book to be exact. It’s the type of book that requires a big time [...]

Dear Ms Lane,
Fans of historical romance novels have had slim pickings the past few years. And most of the books from which we’ve had to choose have been set in the overused Regency. Not that a good Regency novel can’t work for me but when presented with something different, something out of the ordinary I [...]

Dear Ms. Archer,
The other Next book of yours I read, “Off Her Rocker,” also featured an older heroine stranded in the snow who ends up in a small town where she finds people to help and who help her. Only this time you also throw in a cute former police officer turned PI and send [...]

Dear Mrs Hoyt,
After I finally got around to reading your first book, “The Raven Prince,” I was hooked on your writing. I knew I had this book and [gloating] “The Serpent Prince” [/gloating] already on hand. Well, now that I’ve finished this one I’m starting to panic. Only one book left. “Gah!” as a [...]

Dear Ms West,
Okay, here goes letter three in a rinse and repeat style. And I’ll add my standard teeth gnashing that Book Five never saw the light of day.
This is the third installment of West’s Men of Pride County series and differs from the first two in that most of it takes place [...]

Dear Mrs Munroe,
While I’m not a recent Ellora’s Cave virgin like Janine, I’m still not a “rode hard and put up wet” veteran either. Since my tastes don’t run to BDSM, a lot of EC offerings leave me less than enthused about trying them. But your book with its mix of history and tenderness fits [...]
