[quote=Anonymous]I will bite.  I've been reading romance for 35+ years.  My tastes have changed over the years.  I stopped with the historicals years ago because I couldn't stand to read about the Ton anymore.  However, I did like watching Brigerton.  I'm also loving Outlander even though I couldn't bring myself to read the books.

For romantic comedies the very best is Susan Elizabeth Phillips.  Read her Chicago Stars series.  I'm also a very bit fan of Jill Shalvis.  Her Lucky Harbor, Heartbeaker Bay, and Cedar Ridge Series are all very good.

For straight up romance Marie Force's Gansett Island and Green Mountain/Butler Vermont series are fantastic.

For Romantic Suspense Pamela Clare's I-Team series is excellent, Suzanne Brockmann's Troubleshooter series is addictive.  Nora Roberts' stand alone novels are romantic suspense and are really good.  I've read almost all of NR oeuvre so I can be more specific.  My all time favorite series is her "In Death" that she writes as J.D. Robb but it isn't really romance.  It is about a homicide detective in NYC.  The stories are great and you get immersed in her world but be warned the series is over 50 books now so it is a commitment but worth it.

For "romantica" that is romance that has very explicit sex.  The two best I've read are Lorelei James and Lauren Dane.  LJ has the Rough Riders series that is wonderful.  I'm not a rereader but I've reread this series a couple of times.  The character development is fantastic.  You have to be comfortable with threesomes and some BDSM but it isn't like 50 Shades.  LJ is a much better writer.  Lauren Dane's Brown Sibling series is very hot as the spinoff series from that one.  I cannot remember the name of that series but you can find it.  She also writes in the vampire/werewolf/shape shifter genre but I don't read those so I can't help there.  LD also wrote the Chase Brothers and Petal Georgia series that is sexy but less explicit than the others.  I also really enjoyed her Hurley Brothers series.

Those are my recs for now.  I've read tons of authors so feel free to ask about others if you are curious.
