I love Regency romance SO MUCH. It's hard to find decent stuff so when I do I gorge.
OMG I LOVE HER. I have read all of her books. I'm not a HUGE fan of the new Desperate Duchesses but I have read the Essex sisters books at least five times each. I was so HAPPY with the result of the last book (I don't want to spoil anyone) and I thought it was fun Mayne ran through the whole series. EEEEEEEEEEEE. Just thinking about them makes me smily. I got wojelah hooked on them. ETA (and by whole series, I mean most of her books - I liked how he tied the ones with Helene and Esme to the Essex books)
I like Amanda Quick and Johanna Lindsey, but not as much as Eloisa, Julie, and Stephanie. I used to read Jude Deveraux and Catherine Coulter, but I'm not a huge JD fan anymore and Catherine's historical is kind of crap. I loved Judith McNaught's historical stuff when I was in high school, but upon re reading as an adult, I can't get past some of her heroines are YOUNG. Like way too young.
Have you ever tried Joan Wolf? She has a bunch of historical stuff that I find extremely enjoyable. I've reread them A LOT. (she also has more modern stuff that is good.)
I can't stomach Nora Roberts anymore - I've stopped reading those. Jayne Ann Krentz (Amanda Quicks real name) is decent for modern stuff.
I've pretty much read all the biggies and a lot of the less known authors. I'll just pick books off the shelf and as long as they appear to have plot and are 200+ pages I'll try them.
We usually do B&N cause we're discount members and I just buy them in store for $7.19 US.
