just read
and REALLY enjoyed it. Looking forward to other Kristen Ashley books!As far as low angst goes, I found
and
to be great. Lots of drama around really good romance!
@Ruth Thanks, book 5 was my first rock chick book and didn't like it, so I didn't consider trying the other in the series. Just finished book 1 today and I wanted to kick myself for not starting there lol.@BookLover Forgot to say I've read the Will also, and it was awesome. Just finished Until Trevor the other day, Until Lilly will be on my TBR. :)
For pure laugh out loud fun antics you can't beat The Neighbor from Hell series

Checking to see if anybody else has some rec's for low angst between the H/h. Here are my Rec's.
This Author is my go to for easy but sexy reads.
Annalisa Nicole

The Soldier's Lady
Bad Boy
Hammer's Fall
Last HitLast Breath
This book by Eva Simone blew me away and was so sweet and perfect. Book 2 drowned me in agnst LOL

Another recent one that I liked a lot.
My Coyote Ugly Life
And my coblogger Steph said I have to read this one soon because she knows I'll love how it's hardly any angst at all.
The Science of Loving
Ok if anybody has more please post them and feel free to email me at
soulthinking@gmail.com
I am compiling a list to make a shelf at the blog
http://www.sizzlingpages.com
so that I can have a tab for us "romance" lovers ..those that are on the hunt for "love stories" not kill me now I can't take anymore angst ..LOL
Have a great evening.
I just finished
, and it's light, cute, and very sexy.I'm also surprised no one mentioned
.
Thanks! Looks like I have quite a bit to look through :)I've just read the Science of Loving and My Coyote Ugly Life recently and loved those. Also tried Wallbanger, though it wasn't my favorite.
I'm always in the search for low angst stuff and here were some I enjoyed:
-
,
- loved to pieces <3,
Cara Mckenna's ones I thought were also awesome:
-
,
,
On the PNR side, I really liked
.MC book that I found that was sweet and not too gritty:
-
Also, if it's any help, I have a shelf for non angsty stuff.
I'm kind of scared to touch
lol. I've read theres some big miscommunication/misunderstanding at some point, and that might ruin it for me >.<
I loved
and
also. I've read the Cara McKenna books too or at least 2 of them. I love PNR and need to get back to the Psy Changling series. Kresley Cole is another author who writes PNR with low angst in a lot of her books. Things are usually resolved quickly too and the stress is usually from outside forces like danger and things like that. There might be some slight push pull in the relationship but nothing major as her alpha males know what they want.
has a hot love story and the small angst is resolved very quickly.
I didn't feel stressed reading it at all.
I'm gonna check out that shelf for sure Ria.
These are a bit older now, but I love them:
The J D Robb series In Death is awesome, if very long! But the couple get together in the first book and they stay together.
How about
and
They were very low angst and funny.
Or
Any of the knitting in the city books. Super-quirky h's ( easy to identify with though ).Thanks for this thread, after a really stressful day, I don't always ( sometimes I do ), but not always , want to get an emotional rollercoaster.
&
were both good, low angst romances. :D

I misunderstood at first, thinking you were looking for less tortured past stuff. My reading comprehension was off during my initial post. lol

Lori Foster writes some really great books, very low-angst, but full of hot alpha men and the women they love! Nora Roberts is good, too, for low-angst.

Oh, read Sweet Addiction, it's one of my favorites this year! Yes, there is a part in it that is frustrating due to lack of communication, but it is so worth reading!
Anything by Kristen Proby is low angst. The Unfinished Heros series by Kristin Ashley is fairly low angst, mostly focusing on the relationships - but a tad of action and uncertainty. Nothing heartwrenching.

I love books like this too and they can be hard to find. I don't mind drama as long as it is done well. Angels fall and The Search by Nora Roberts is good. The secret by Julie Garwood is good too.

Just started to read more NR stuff recently and I'm loving them. I find them really refreshing reads, no contrived drama.
Adding The Search to TBR, thanks :D I remember starting a Julie Garwood book in the past but put it aside and never quite gotten back to it. Might have to give it a go again.
Here's one I just finished and loved.
There's no relationship drama per se, but of course the path to true love isn't smooth, because otherwise there wouldn't be a story. That said, this is a witty and smart and quirky and beautifully written love story.
Here are some others too:His tattooed virgin by Heather Rainier
Santa's Executive by Carrie Ann Ryan
Splendor by Janet Nissenson
Bare it all by Lori Foster
Duke Fallen MC by C J Washington
Black Out by Lila Rose
Tattoo by Cambria Hebert
Warriors Prisoner by Lietha Wards
Angels fall by Nora Roberts
The Search by Nora Roberts
Never Seduce a Scot by Maya Banks
Two of my all time favorites :
and
. Both are smart, funny and mucho sexy.

Lani Lynn Vale has 10 books out that are low angst, starting with
Ahren Sanders is good! I loved
, her other books I've enjoyed as well. I'm reading
now and really enjoying it.Anything by Aurora Rose Reynolds is awesome.
Kristin Proby writes low angst romances that I really like.
Laurann Dohner's New Species series starting with

I can handle other types of angst (homicidal maniacs, crazy family, stalkers, cheating-ex, tortured pasts,etc.), but me and constant relationship drama don't mix well. I find it refreshing when a couple stays solid, despite a rocky road ahead.
- I love heroines who are straightforward and honest, and they can be insecure but not indecisive with who they like and what they feel. I love heroes who are not afraid of commitment and going after they want even more.
Books I enjoyed:
Anyone have any recs?
