The Wolf and the Dove has very fond memories for me - first modern-style historical romance I ever read. I remember being absolutely captivated by Aislinn and Wulfgar's romance.

Except for the Daisy Dalrymple books, I have read books by all the other authors. I am going to be digging through my TBR Mountain to see how many of these books I have.

If I'd checked all my reviews, there's no way I could have stuck to 10. By the way, I agree with you about GWTW being a romance - it's just not a romance that ends happily!
