[Arch]

I'm starting Lisa Kleypas' Smooth Talking Stranger tonight. I'll read a few pages, before calling it a night.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I hope you like her, Arch.

Kathy Anne, Kathryn Smith has written a fair amount of historicals, and recently started a paranormal series. She has the steam factor and the high romance level of LK books. She's cited LK as a role model. Here are the books I've read by her.

[Arch]

I'll write a review.

[UniquelyMoi ~ BlithelyBookish]

If you like Marliss Melton and Suzanne Brockmann, you'll probably like Cindy Gerard.

Okay. Thanks Pamela.

Ok, question. What other author would you like if you're a fan of Judith McNaught?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

I've heard people recommend Lisa Kleypas if you're a Judith McNaught fan. I don't know if I would agree 100%.

[Gigi]

Ok, I'll have to check out Lisa Kleypas. Danielle, who would you recommend for Judith McNaught fans?

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

Hmm. I think JM has very complicated, angsty relationship stories. I almost would want to say Elizabeth Lowell. But, that's a knee jerk recommendation.

Thanks Danielle. Thats funny! I have at least one Elizabeth Lowell book on my TBR shelf. I'll have to check her out sooner than later. Thanks for the links. I'm going to check them out!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

You're welcome. I have to say that EL writes different setting than JM, but they have the same angst level. I just wanted to warn you about that.

[Gigi]

I'm open to different settings. Sounds good. Thanks again.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal]

You're welcome. Please share what you think about you read the EL book.

[Gigi]

Ok. I will.
