Dear Ms. McCarty:
You’ve been a long time member of the romance blogosphere and I’ve wanted to read one of your books for quite some time. Your fan base is deep and devoted and you clearly write work that resonates strongly with them. Unfortunately, I never really connected with the stories in this [...]

Dear Ms. Spencer:
I’ve come to the conclusion that you are a careful, thoughtful author. This book may not be for everyone because it is a quiet book, but it contains detailed characters who are both flawed with a compelling and a fresh new look at the werewolf mythology.
This book was unusual, from the recreation [...]

In On the Prowl, four authors try to jump the bridge from fantasy to romance with varying degrees of success. This is an area which is not well populated so I like the concept and hope for better execution in the future. Great cover, though.

Dear Ms. Briggs: Your contribution, “Alpha and Omega”, [...]

Dear Ms. Meyer:
My blogging partner, Jayne, commented to me a week or so ago that I had better love this book else I would die at the point of the exclamation mark considering the liberal use of them by your fans. I am prepared to be skewered because Eclipse was even a bigger disappointment [...]

Dear Ms. Dodd:
When I first heard that you were doing a paranormal series, I was a bit skeptical. Not every author has made the transition from contemporary or historical to paranormal well. I also will admit that I haven’t read you in years (2003 to be exact) because I was quite perturbed at [...]

Dear Ms. Armstrong:
I first fell in love with you when I read Bitten in 2001. Since then I believe I’ve read the book, oh 10 times. Throughout the Women of the Underworld series, one man has been present–quiet, strong, steady. Jaime Vegas is a necromancer with a crush on said man, the [...]

Dear Ms. Arthur,
You have the benefit of Bantam’s unique publishing/promotional effort of back to back to back publishing so that fans that are eager to read your books do not need to wait six months or an entire year, but rather one measly month. After Kissing Sin, I was interested but not excited to [...]

Dear Ms. Briggs,
Mercedes Thompson is a funny name for an auto mechanic, but then Mercy, the narrator and heroine of Moon Called is not your usual auto mechanic. She's a walker, not only capable of shifting into coyote shape at will but also possessed of a sharp nose for scenting other creatures and an ability [...]

Dear Ms. Briggs:
As I was reading this book last night, I turned to Ned with an epiphany. “Ned,” I said, “When an author of a fantasy book can make you believe her truths, that’s a great book.” He replied, “that’s why I read fantasy.” Indeed. You have the unique gift of [...]

Dear Ms. Wilks:
I opened your book and read the introductory letter to the reader with some glee. It suggested that whatever had happened in the second book, Mortal Danger, was maybe just a fantasy and outside of the world realm that you had created with the fantastic introduction to the series, Tempting Danger. [...]

Dear Ms. Cole,
A variety of supernatural beings walk the earth in the world you have created in this book. The heroine, Emmaline Troy, is half-vampire, half-Valkyrie. Her Valkyrie mother died in childbirth and Emma has been raised by the Valkyries, warrior maidens who don’t know anything about her vampire father.
Vampires are capable [...]

Dear Ms. Meyer:
This was a greatly anticipated book. Twilight, the prequel, was my 2005 book of the year. New Moon, however delightful it was, seemed to throw all of the faults of Bella in sharp relief. You portrayed her, either intentionally or not, as a selfish user who seemed to only be [...]

Dear Ms. Cassidy,
I think I like Moon Over Manhasset the best of your Wolfmates books. Julia Lawrence, cousin to the heroes of An American Werewolf and What’s New Pussycat, is a werewolf living in Manhasset. Um, sorry, make that she-wolf. Julia loves her doggie boutique business and makes tons of money with it. Now [...]

Dear Ms Cassidy,
I have to say that you’re taking a typical werewolf romance story and turning it in a different direction that I’ve read before. I mean, how many werewolves are fated to marry/mate with domestic housecats? Not too many. As with “An American Werewolf in Hoboken,” I loved the cat heroine’s feline POV. [...]

Dear Ms. Cassidy,
An American Werewolf in Hoboken is the first of your Wolfmates trilogy and starts the series off with a bang. I love that so much of the hero’s POV is told while in his shapeshifted werewolf state. And from someone who owns a large dog and spends a fortune on dog “things” [...]
