Dear Ms. Spencer-Fleming
As I blogged a couple of days ago, this series has been a long time favorite of friend and fellow reader, Keishon. I trust Keishon’s judgment quite a bit. She’s led me to read some wonderful mystery authors. However, I long held back from reading this series because [...]

Dear Mr. Lanyon:
I don’t ordinarily look for gay fiction but in at the urging of Teddy Pig I picked up the Adrien English Mysteries which is a two novella* collection featuring the titular character, Adrien English, a gay bookstore owner and mystery writer with a bad heart, whose situation forces him into sleuthing.
These stories are [...]

Dear Ms. Stewart:
I was really grateful to find your book on my doorstep. I admit that I had stopped buying your books when they went to hardcover because of cost and then I would forget to buy the book when it came out in paperback. This is kind of sad on my [...]

Dear Ms. Roberts:
I discovered the In Death series almost 20 books in (at the publication of Portrait in Death), so I had the opportunity to read a big chunk of Eve and Roarke’s story all at once. I was immediately and completely caught up in the fictional futuristic world, from the tumultuous adventure of [...]

Dear Ms. Ellison:
November is a “new to me” month where I read about 10 authors that I had never read before. Yours was one of them. All the Pretty Girls is a romantic suspense book with a unique twist. The couple is already dating when the book starts. I think this [...]

Dear Ms. Rose:
This may be a week of talking about under appreciated gems. You consistently put out strong suspense stories with an qually strong romance. I also appreciate the thematic approach to have your books.
Die for Me’s theme was families–the families that we create and the families we are born with. Regardless of [...]

Dear Ms. Robb:
I left off the last book feeling vaguely unhappy with how little Eve seems to give in the relationship with Roarke. This book is my comeuppance. Every book in the In Death series has had a good mystery and police procedure is one of my favorite genres. Not every [...]

Dear Ms. Rose:
Having read four of your six releases, I feel confident in saying that you consistently deliver a good suspense with a believable romance. You regularly villianize certain professionals (defense lawyers and journalists), but your provocative themes along with strong characterizations make for a non stop reading adventure.
Tess Ciccotelli is a psychiatrist with [...]

Dear Ms. Jaffe:
I feel for you. I really do. You really, really must have made someone angry in the art and title department. Why else would they saddle your outstanding contemporary romance suspense book with the cutesy cover and an even worse title? I imagine that those readers looking for a [...]

Dear Ms. Howard:
I know that you won’t be reading this letter as you are not an onliner, but let me tell you about my love for Dream Man. To some, this is a terrible book filled with a terrible betrayal by the hero. To me, it shows the extent I will overlook things [...]

Dear Ms. Lee:
This is the second installment in the Kyra Moray series. In Still Waters, we were introduced female detective Kyra Moray set in a slightly futuristic New Orleans. In the midst of solving a serial killing crime, Kyra meets her love interest Alex Waters. The problems I had in the first [...]

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 [...]

Dear Ms. Tracy,
I was unsure how to address my letter because you are a mother-daughter writing team. Neat. I understand that you are a bestseller in the UK but not here in the US. Those Brits have good taste. As a general rule, I don’t read books without romances and your books are [...]

Dear Ms. Tabke:
I have a feeling that after this review, you aren’t going to like me very much. Please try to remember that this letter is about your book and not about you. Because I hated it - the book, that is. It was the worst piece of drivel that I have [...]

Dear Ms. Lee,
This is a good police procedure book that is hobbled by the villian (like many a police procedure book) and two major police procedure errors or at least two scenes which featured police procedure actions which seemed impossible to me. It’s spicy love scenes; strong, assertive, capable heroine; and quick pace kept [...]
