These authors write the kind of stories that keep me reading into the late night hours. I enjoy romance series including Steve & Ginny's love story by Rosemary Rogers, "Island Flame" & "Sea Fire" sequel by Karen Robards. The Bar Cynster stories by Stephanie Laurens are full of fun, adventure and erotic romance. The delightful Malory series by Johanna Lindsey made me wish for just one more story. I love the Bridgerton stories by Julie Quinn. Amanda Quick tells fascinating stories of persons more outside of society and the ton. Newly discovered authors Laura Kinsale, Lisa Kleypas, Julia Ross, Karen Ranney, Theresa Medeiros, Judith McNaught, Kathleen Woodiwiss, and Bertrice Small are a delightful addition to my list of the romance genre.

Shirley Karr What An Earl Wants
- Excellent story teller. One of the finest of the Romance genre. Flowers From The Storm
-******
One of the best books I have ever read. This story is set in a day when the effects of a stroke were thought to be signs of madness and it is often very painful to read. The stubborn honesty of Maddy and the child like words and confusion of the duke, as he tries to recover, offer compelling reading. They both are tormented with doubt before finally accepting that they have truly found a miracle in each other. My Sweet Folly -
The Hidden Heart -
The Shadow And The Star -
Very sweet & poignant story. (Sequel to "The Hidden Heart.") Seize The Fire - ******
Another excellent story of two unhappy, broken people who find love and redemption, masterfully told by Ms. Kinsale's rich and imaginative prose. Uncertain Magic -
The Dream Hunter -*****
Deeply endearing characters. For My Lady's Heart - Shadow Heart - Sequel to For My Lady's Heart and a very difficult story to like. Allegreto & Elena have a very tempestuous relationship and even at the end the reader wonders if they can truly have a life together. The Prince of Midnight -
All of her stories are provocative & sensual about flawed heroes & the ladies who love them Stranger In My Arms -

Very disappointing for her 7th Bridgerton story. Too predictable. On The Way To The Wedding - Fun and exciting for the final Bridgerton's love story.

Ginny & Steve -***** The story of Ginny and Steve in "Sweet Savage Love" and "Savage Desire" comes full circle. "Dark Fires" and Lost "Love, Last Love" is not as satisfying because very little of the action takes place while they are together. Taken as a whole, the series is very satisfying when they finally commit to stay together. Sweet Savage Love -

Intrigued - I enjoyed much of this story and some of the references to the family now gone were very touching. Autumn seemed like a very cold person and did not seem like a worthy heroine, 'too cynical' as her brother so aptly put it. Just Beyond Tomorrow -
