Dear Author: Romance Novel Reviews, Industry News, and Commentary

Dear Ms. Adrian:
I have to confess that I like the longer wait between your books. In part because some of the past stories, particularly Lucan’s and Tegan’s, wherein the heroes tended to overshadow those around them. This can linger beyond the story. When I picked up Veil of Midnight, enough time had passed [...]
