Lover Eternal by JR Ward
April 6, 2006

REVIEW: Lover Eternal by JR Ward

JaneB ReviewsAmazon / Black-Dagger-Brotherhood / erotica6 Comments

Dear Ms. Ward: I really like the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I bought Dark Lover based upon the name alone. Black Dagger Brotherhood sounded menacing, dark and, of course, appealing. I liked Lover Eternal quite a bit but there are alot of negatives in your book. The plot is pretty simple. ... more >

REVIEW: Drop Dead Gorgeous by Jennifer Skully

JaneDNF Reviewsromantic-suspense4 Comments

Dear Ms. Skully: The problem with ebooks and a reader like me who likes instant gratification is that sometimes I buy books on impulse without giving it much thought or research. In some cases (see letter to Ms Davis below) that works. In others, like yours, I just regret the ... more >

REVIEW: The Bride Ship by Deborah Hale

JayneDNF ReviewsHistorical Romances3 Comments

Dear Ms. Hale: I’ve read 2 good books by you and I keep hoping for more. I keep getting disappointed. I read the blurb for this and thought it might be stupid but for some reason I ended up buying it anyway. Dunno why. Anyway, what could have been an ... more >

REVIEW: The Captain’s Lady by Margaret McPhee

JayneB ReviewsHistorical Romances2 Comments

Dear Mrs McPhee, You really lucked out in the cover department. Not a man titty in sight. I’m a sucker for a shipboard/Naval romance and 2/3 of this one is spent at sea. The heroine is fleeing from an arranged marriage to an evil villain (author needs to work on ... more >

REVIEW: Warsworn by Elizabeth Vaughan

JaneB ReviewsAlpha Male / High Fantasy4 Comments

Dear Ms. Vaughan: I have been axiously awaiting the second book of your trilogy and was less than pleased to see that bookstores were abiding by the laydown date and not releasing the book until Tuesday. I am not much for delayed gratification. (unlike Jay who likes to hoard the ... more >

REVIEW: What I Really Want to Do is Direct by Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout

JayneB Reviewschick-lit / Hollywood8 Comments

Dear Yvonne Collins and Sandy Rideout Who knew that a focus puller was so important to a movie? Not moi, I assure you. But now I do and I loved learning about it in “What I Really Want to Do is Direct.” Though told in 1st person (after all, it ... more >

REVIEW: Hustle, Sweet Love by Maggie Davis

JaneB ReviewsContemporary / fashion-industry5 Comments

Dear Ms. Davis: I bought your book on a whim at a Used Bookstore. I was trying to be brave and explore new authors. I see that your novel (which can be purchased in ebook format) which is a good thing since it was hilarious and it gives others a ... more >

Will Sony’s E-Ink device transform the ebook vista?

JaneEbooksEbooks / Sony2 Comments

Dear Big NY Publishers: I am a big fan of the ebook. I started reading them about 5 years ago on my laptop. One of the things that I find frustrating as an ebook reader is the lack of ebooks being released from mainstream publishers. How hard is it, really, ... more >

April 3, 2006

REVIEW: Don’t Look Down by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer

JaneC- ReviewsAction/Adventure / children / Contemporary / Jennifer-Crusie / Military / Movie14 Comments

Dear Ms. Crusie: I have been following your books since the publication of Getting Rid of Bradley. I have pretty much loved all of them except for Strange Bedpersons. But even you acknowledged that story didn’t quite work out as well as you had hoped. My favorite contemporary list includes ... more >

REVIEW: The Taming of the Duke by Eloisa James

JaneC- ReviewsDeception / Eloisa-James / Masquerade / Regency England / sisters / twins2 Comments

Dear Ms. James: I am just a simple reader. I understand that you like to write books with subtle clues and hints as the character evolves. But because I am a simple reader, your subtle clues and hints went way past me. Let’s look at your recent contribution to the ... more >
