One of my favourite authors for romantic holiday reading is Sheila O'Flanagan.

Some of the titles I've read are "Three's a Crowd", "The Perfect Man, "Stand By Me" and "All For You" but if you're pressed for time, I suggest her short stories in "Connections" which have a great holiday island romance feel.

Read "Last Lovers," by William Wharton. It's the only real love story I've ever read.

John Green- The fault in our stars.
It's dramatic, but romantic in a beautiful and different way

And I forgot Georgette Heyer for Regency romance. She also wrote several mysteries, which usually have some sort of couple involved somewhere ...

I like Nora Roberts but I also don't read too many romantic books, read a lot of Mills& Boons when I was young so.....

Another vote for Janet Evonavich. Also Donna Kauffman can be pretty fun as well.
