Audrey is a delight, very much her own person described as Jackie O meets Betty Boop. Her protagonist, Gray Turner, is a wounded soul fighting to recover from a loss and save the family business. There is a history between these two and their families. I like the super romance format, because it gives the author more Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57166953240040768.post-10100419509076296092014-02-25T21:33:11.140-05:002014-02-25T21:33:11.140-05:00Wow, Laurie, lots of recommendations there.

American Romance books by Marin Thomas - The Cash Brothers, and Donna Alward's Cadence Creek series. The Holiday Miracles series was good - I think that was from 2012, though.

Perhaps because I'm on a tight deadline, the shorter books are suiting me better at the moment. Having said that, I'm all up to date with Sarah Mayberry who I'd crawl over glass to read. Got a couple more Karina Blisses on the TBR pile - I love her books.

I find sweet romances really ramp up the emotional content so they're compelling reads even without all the sensual detail. Depends what I feel like at the time. Will definitely check out the Joss Wood!

Have you tried Liz Fielding? Her stuff is marvellous. So is Fiona Harper's. I've heard a lot about Joss Wood - must give her a go. Seriously, give this one of Nikki's a burl, it's just lovely. And Sarah's never missed a winner for me. I think she's one of the best writers out there.
