Who is your favorite romance author?

Nora Roberts is a favorite romance author of mine. I do have to say though that I prefer her triligies, specifically the ones that have a supernatural theme to them. I have recently read the Deborah Harkness trilogy and really enjoyed that as well. I don't know if these would be considered romance, but they had the romance angle in them as well as the supernatural theme. Has anyone read Kim Harrison? I recently had her recommended to me and was wondering if her books were any good...

Samantha Young's books are great. I've also started getting into K.A Tucker, specifically her ten tiny breaths series.

I spent too much time trying to narrow it down to one, and I just can't.

Laurann Dohner, Ilona Andrews, Kim Harrison, Sophie Oak, Christine Feehan, Janet Evanovich, Eve Langlais, Rebecca Zanetti, Cynthia Eden, Lora Leigh, Sandra Hill, Tracy St.John, Allyson James/Jennifer Ashley, Jeaniene Frost, Lynsay Sands, Karen Marie Moning, Diana Gabaldon,

She is fabulous, one of my favorites. Make sure to read The Hollows in order or they won't make much sense. She's starting a new series: The Peri Reed Chronicles, this week.

I can't pick one. I would give my current favorite and then my runners up to give recommendations to others that I also liked. I love Colleen Hoover, then Abbi Glines, and Anita Claire.

Her Virgin River series is excellent! There are about 16 books in the series and I read all of them for the 2nd time a couple of years ago. You feel like you live in the town and fall of the characters are your friends. It's the type of series you can read over and over.

Here newest series, Thunder Point, is excellent as well. I'm always sad when I finish one of her books!

I love Robyn Carr as well! I haven't read Thunder Point yet so that is next in my to-read list. I love Kristen Ashley too.

My Favorite Romance author? I have so many it will be hard to pick just one. Gena Showalter is amazing and so is J.R. Ward. I have recently taken on the task of posting reviews on goodreads for indie authors that are just starting out. Maxine Douglas is worth a shot and so is Mary Jo Springer.

I love Robyn Carr and Debbie Macomber. I also like Dianne Greendwood Muir and Janette Oke. I'm always looking for more though so all of the posts help me a lot.

Megs21781. I read Debbie Macomber too and I love her Heart of Texas series you might try reading Nora Roberts or if you are looking for someone really new Maxine Douglas and Mary Jo Springer are good and so is Silver James. I have read a couple by each of these author and plan on reading many more. . . If they can write fast enough to keep up with me LOL

I have handful of favorite romance novelists. In no particular order other than number 1:
*Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb
*Iris Johansen
*Jude Devereaux
*Johanna Lindsey

What I like most about some of these authors, they have straddled the line between genres without losing the interest of their fans.
