I'd start with her medievals. I think they are excellent.

Can I third it?

Indeed!

[Lisarenee]

I have read For the Roses and Clayborne Brides. I read Clayborne Brides first and didn't love it. I think if I'd read For the Roses first I might have. I still need to read Come the Spring. Will probably be doing that in April. You could always read the book from the library first and decide if you wish to purchase it after that.Hopes this helps Heidi.

I also love Garwood's other historical novels.

I read Heartbreaker (a contemporary) and it is a bit disturbing as it delves into the mind of the killer. Will try another of her contemporaries, hoping she keeps the murderer's thought out of the book. The book was good, but I didn't love it. Has anyone else tried her contemporaries?

That's a good one, I love Circenn!
I haven't read the Fever series yet either, but definitely plan to!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Me too, Christine. So many books...

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Lisa, I haven't read any of Garwoods contemporaries yet.

[Susinok]

On the Bridgertons, well, the first two were very good. Duke and I and Viscount Who Loved Me. The third, Offer of a Gentleman, was ok. Sort of light compared to the character depth of the first two. I just started the fourth (forgot the title, Colin's book). I have the fifth but I think I'm getting Bridgerton'ed out.

OH... The Switch is VERY good!!!! I also loved The Brat and Always... Lynsay Sands is such a great author, I am always laughing out loud in the middle of the bus when I'm reading her. BTW, Sally McKenzie is also very funny, if you're looking for smt in the same vein..

As for "what to read after LK), I would recommend Celeste Bradley (her Royal Four and spy series), Liz Carlyle, Anne Gracie or Tracy Anne Warren.

Good hunting! ;-)

Hi Ally,
I really enjoyed Susan Andersen's contemporary books, they're sexy and easy to read: You have a couple that have a slightly more "thriller" feel to them, like Obsessed, Shadow Dance or Exposure.
Christina Dodd also has some good contemporary books, like Trouble in High Heels,Tongue In Chic, Thigh High, Just the Way You Are, Danger in a Red Dress, Close to You, Almost Like Being in Love, about two seperate families trying to find each other (two main series, the Prescott family: Hope, Poppy, Kate and Gabriel, and the Manly family, I think). Jennifer Crusie and Susan Donovan are contemporary too, but a lot lighter and funnier.

Good luck!

has anyone read WESTMORELAND QUARTET by Judith McNaught? I have heard good things about Whitney My Love!

I have read whitney, and Kingdom of dreams...not sure what the others are in the series, but Kingdom of Dreams is one of my all time favorite books. Steamy, funny, and sweet.

[Bekah, Fellow Kleypasaholic]

Ally -

Its really hard to find anything quite like the Travis series...it would be nice if we could, but nobody writes quite like Lisa.

I'll tell you what I'm into currently. It's not at all like Lisa's books, but it's keeping me entertained and busy. Shannon McKenna's McLoud Brother series. Lots of steam, steam, steam, steam. :-) Big alpha heroes who fall hard and are obsessive.



I'm currently on Out of Control, and loving the hero. Loving him.

Bekah . . i have one question for ya ..

Thanks, I will need to look into her books. I also loved The Switch by Lynsay sands, but I have yet to read Always. Love is Blind is also excellent. I had it in my car to read as a fill in when in the car line for my kid's school and couldn't put it down when I got home. I was hooked.

[Susinok]

I have now read the first four Julie Quinn Bridgerton books. I have a few thoughts.

First of all the fact that JQ drops modern phrases into her dialogue just drives me nuts. The books don't need to read like Jane Austen, but they really should not "sound" that modern.

The dissapearing clothing! OMG do some reasearch! No way would the Regency dresses come off that easily. No way at all! Heck, make a seduction out of getting the woman undressed. Make it part of the love-scene. This bothered me a lot, but I have to fess up, I've been a historical re-enactor, so I know how this clothing is constructed. She doesn't mention undergarments at all, either, other than stockings.

Also there's very little historical feel to the books. There are some passing mentions of London, but you're not really "there". It's almost a wallpaper romance.

All that griping aside, I loved Duke and I and Viscount Who Loved Me. Benedict's book was light and I was not convinced that he would have asked Sophie to be his mistress. I feel that it's out of character for him or for any of the Bridgerton men.

I liked the fourth book since I like Colin a lot but it wasn't as satisfying as the first two books in the series. I guess I've had enough of Julie Quinn for a while.

Susin, I have to admit that I find JQ a little too light for my tastes, although I did really like To Sir Phillip With Love. I'd like to read some of her later books to see if she's gotten more intense. I admit, I like the darker, intense romances more.

[Susinok]

That's why I liked Duke and I and Viscount Who Loves Me. In both books there were things that the hero had to really overcome and deal with. They had some character depth, despite the flawed historical setting.

Good about Sir Phillip. I have the book but haven't read it yet. JQ is in time-out for a bit.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I haven't read the last 2 JQ books. She's on hiatus at my house as well.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I've been on time out with her for a while now.

[[deleted user]]

Well, I own a bunch of her books, but have yet to read them. now I am worried I won't care for them.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Heidi, don't let me discourage you on JQ. She has a lot of fans, and she's a really good author. I just need more angst, oomph, and shadows in my romance than she gives. Does that make sense?

[[deleted user]]

Well I like the "angst, oomph and shadows in my romance" too...so thats why I am wondering.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Be ye of good cheer, Heidi! There will come times when you'll want a good, easy, fluffy romance, and you'll be able to go right to JQ. She's good, it's just as Danielle says, sometimes I need more angst, more torment. Other times, like after reading Whitney, My Love , the LAST thing I needed was another emotional roller coaster ride, so JQ really filled the bill!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

But you can't take all the drama all the time so when I want something different, I'll go back to a JQ. I like variety. Sometimes, I even like to read a sweet, no sex book. I said sometimes.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

I like variety too. I think my softer reads are some of my sweet category romances. When it comes to historicals, I typically want a darker read. But there's a few exceptions. Olivia Parker is a good author for me, in that regard.

Me too cynthina, I have read all of Cindy Woodsmall's books...while they are classified as Christian, (I think)... they are wonderful love stories without the sex(Amish stuff, which interest me) I would really recommend them...they are VERY heart wrenching! especially the Sister of the Quilt Series!

I've never hear of or read anything by this author. Looks good though.

I saw her ad on Facebook and looked into her books and they looks pretty good, might have to try one!

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

Has anyone read In For a Penny by Rose Lerner? This book looks good.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Certifiable St. Vinnie's Ninny]

Cyn, I have that in my tbr pile. It sounds like a book I'd enjoy.

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

Me too

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

I am really interested in reading this book Wicked Becomes You It doesn't come out until the end of April. Here's what it's about:
She’s been burned not once but twice by London’s so-call ed gentlemen . . .Gwen Maudsley is pretty enough to be popular, and plenty wealthy, too. But what she’s best known and loved for is being so very, very nice. When a cad jilts her at the altar—again—the scandal has her outraged friends calling for blood. Only Gwen has a different plan. If nice no longer works for her, then it’s time to learn to be naughty. Happily, she knows the perfect tutor—Alexander Ramsey, her late brother’s best friend and a notorious rogue.So why won’t a confirmed scoundrel let her be as bad as she wants to be?Unbeknownst to Gwen, Alex’s aloof demeanor veils his deepest unspoken desire. He has no wish to see her change, nor to tempt himself with her presence when his own secrets make any future between them impossible. But on a wild romp from Paris to the Riviera, their friendship gives way to something hotter, darker, and altogether more dangerous. With Alex’s past and Gwen’s newly unleashed wildness on a collision course, Gwen must convince Alex that his wickedest intentions are exactly what she needs.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

Sounds like a great one! Let us know what you think.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish, Your Humble Servant]

I'm reading by Pamela Clare. I liked the first one and this one is looking to be just as good.

[Cyn Mistress Kitty]

That looks good too.
