If I Had to Pick My Top (Current) Thirty Favorite Historical Romances….

DabneyReading Listsbest of list / Historical Romances / Recommended Reads54 Comments

In the past five years, I’ve read over 1500 romances. Some I loathed, some I loved and many I thought were-eh–better than the last three Star Wars movies. I’m fairly narrow in my general genre reading. Out of the 1500 books I’ve read, at least a thousand have been historical ... more >

The Revenge of Lord Eberlin by Julia London

REVIEW: The Revenge of Lord Eberlin by Julia London

Dear Ms. London— I really enjoyed your latest novel, The Revenge of Lord Eberlin. Recently, thanks to the many thoughtful and well-written reviews here at Dear Author, I’ve been reading books out of what I think of as my comfort zone. And it’s been great.

Time Out Jill Shalvis

REVIEW: Time Out by Jill Shalvis

DabneyB- ReviewsHarlequin / ice hockey / Jill-Shalvis37 Comments

Dear Ms. Shalvis: I’ve read much of what you’ve written in the past five years. I’ve found quite a few of your contemporaries irresistible: Animal Attraction and The Sweetest Thing were two of my favorite reads in 2011. I’ve been less enthralled with your Harlequin Blaze books; they seem to me to ... more >

REVIEW: A Lady Never Surrenders by Sabrina Jeffries

DabneyC- ReviewsEuropean-Historical12 Comments

Dear Ms. Jeffries— I was ambivalent about investing my time in the last of your Hellions of Halstead Hall series. I’ve read the first four with varying levels of satisfaction.  I found The Truth about Lord Stoneville, the first book, that of Oliver, the eldest Sharpe child, to be a contrived and insubstantial tale. ... more >

REVIEW: Still Hot For You by Diane Escalera

DabneyC ReviewsC Reviews / E-books / Lyrical Press3 Comments

Dear Ms. Escalera, In the teaser for your book, Still Hot for You, your publisher Lyrical Press, describes it thusly: Want to get your man talking?  Give him booty! Desperate times call for desperate measures. And Shay LaCosta is pretty desperate. She’s wrecked her blissful marriage of five years by ... more >

Her Husband's Harlot by Grace Callaway
February 3, 2012

REVIEW: Her Husband’s Harlot by Grace Callaway

DabneyB ReviewsDebut-book / European-Historical / self-published46 Comments

Dear Ms. Callaway, I was interested to read your debut novel for two reasons. First, I love the title. I’ve always thought being a husband’s harlot is one of the best parts of marriage. (Plus, it reminds me of a classic song, the number one single from 1973, Charlie Rich’s ... more >
