- The Great Good Thing - Roderick Townley (Oh, so good! This is a kids' story, but like the Harry Potter books, it's great for young and old alike. It's a book within a book—I'll leave it to you to read and find out what that means—and if you look closely at the cover, you'll notice that the little girl isn't peeking out from between a forest of trees, but from between the pages of a book! Did I mention this one is oh, so good?)
- The Outlaw Hearts - Rebecca Brandewyne (One of the very first historical romances I remember reading…and still one of my favorites. I think I've read it something like six or eight times. Wonderful!)

- The Runaway Heiress - Christina Dodd
- Someday My Prince - Christina Dodd
- That Scandalous Evening - Christina Dodd
- "Stephanie Plum" series - Janet Evanovich
- "Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter" series - Laurell K. Hamilton (Okay, so a friend told me I should try this author. Um…no, thanks. They're horror and fantasy and gory stuff; I'm not into that. Oh, but you have to try them—really, truly. I'll send you one of mine to read so you can let me know what you think. If you don't like it, you don't have to read the whole thing. All right, said I; I'll give it a short. Holy hot sauce, Batman! It didn't take me long to get hooked. Highly recommended, even though I've fallen a bit behind with the series.)
- “Meredith Gentry, ” series – Laurell K. Hamilton (I’m really liking this series, too. My favorite installment so far is A Lick of Frost. Awesome, sexy, emotional…I didn’t want it to end & am positively rabid for the next installment.)
- "Tall, Dark, & Dangerous" series - Suzanne Brockmann (I'm sure I don't need to say much about these…after all, they're the reason Suz is famous. But no author has ever made me love the Navy so much—and my dad was a sailor! Every time I read another of her SEAL books, I want to find the nearest naval base and pop a tent outside, just waiting for my ship to come in—literally.)
