REVIEW: Player vs. Player by Amelia C. Gormley

WillafulB- Reviewscontemporary romantic suspense / gaming / interracial-romance / m/m / Riptide Publishing3 Comments

Dear Amelia C. Gormley: There is way too much ugly drama in the news, so I have to have a good reason to read romantic suspense these days. A story about misogyny and homophobia in online gaming was a really good reason. Niles Rivers has a dream job, writing stories ... more >

Dear Ms. Sexton: When Sarah Frantz stopped reviewing for Dear Author and took a new position as editor at Riptide Publishing (where she is now Acquisitions Editor), we instituted a one-year moratorium on reviewing books from Riptide.

Dear Mr. Voinov, With the exception of The Lion of Kent, which I enjoyed reading last year but which didn’t stick in my mind, I haven’t read your work (even though I’ve heard many good things about it). Your choice of settings and characters aren’t the type I usually seek ... more >
