If you want an emotional punch with seriously hot sex, pick up a KA Mitchell! (Forgive the Fangrrl moment - sorry about the slobbering).

I adore those books and I've probably read them over a hundred times! A close second is probably Barbara Michaels/Elizabeth Peters, but her stuff isn't really romance, either! However, Johanna Lindsey is the reason I started reading & writing romance, so I definitely consider her books 'comfort' too.KC Burnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12054334177185905626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-79651684460054641222010-10-22T12:03:33.295-04:002010-10-22T12:03:33.295-04:00Hi Cara B and Sherry, I can't believe I forgot...Hi Cara B and Sherry, I can't believe I forgot Lora Leigh.

My two comfort reads in the past few years are Marion Zimmer Bradley's <i>The Catch Trap</i> and Peter Lefcourt's <i>The Dreyfus Affair</i>. Neither of them would be billed as romance, but they are based around a falling in love relationship and while they're not fluffy, the characters persevere in a with a we'll-work-this-out mentality. I love those books.K.A.

I'm not big into paranormal, but I love Tate Halloway, and of course, Cynthia Eden. I'm really getting into category lately and my newer comfort reads are Maureen Child and Catherine Mann. When I want suspense, I pick up a Jill Shalvis.<br />Beautiful cover - congrats!Wynterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611293420659353094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-31859319647886459982010-10-22T07:49:30.360-04:002010-10-22T07:49:30.360-04:00Ha!

A bit of Hugh in the morning is a very good thing ;)<br /><br />I definitely need character driven books too b/c I love that emotional punch (Ward, Rice, and Eden illustrate that I think) but I still lurve that additional dose of suspense and baddies with guns! I want to have my cake and eat it too :)Savannah Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923140305202250794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-92037070669791049512010-10-22T07:32:02.330-04:002010-10-22T07:32:02.330-04:00Loving your shameless illustration of "comfor...Loving your shameless illustration of "comfort", Savannah. I think "inserting Hugh Jackman for no good reason" has officially become a NAC running gag. Not that one needs a <i>good</i> reason to insert him. Any reason will do.<br /><br />My comfort romances are Kresley Cole's historicals, a bit of Suzanne Brockmann, and now Kristan Higgins. I'm all over the place! Unlike you, I like my stories more character-driven, as I tend to skim intensely plotty bits if they're not totally engaging, so I can get to the dialogue and, yes, the hot stuff. I lack discipline that way.Cara McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654280974490334457noreply@blogger.com
