Spirited Brides by Amanda McCabe (One Touch of Magic and A Loving Spirit)
Since Just the Sexiest Man Alive by Julie James in included, we’ll ask a question about contemporaries today. What is your favorite straight contemporary of all time? (I think I was channeling Christine Feehan with that last part.)

Remember, we’ll be giving a Book Bag away every weekday (Monday-Friday) for the rest of the month!
My favorite straight contemporary ??? that’s an incredible difficult question to answer with all those great new authors appearing each years !!!
Well my pick would be an SEP, who is for me the QUEEN of the genre. I’m choosing This Heart of Mine : there is nothing I would change, a realy perfect book for me 😉
Susan E Phillips’ Kiss an Angel 🙂

Definitely all of SEP books! My favorite one of hers was GLITTER BABY. LOOoooved it!
There are a few, but if I had to pick only one, it would be Paradise by Judith McNaught.
I would have to say that my favorite straight contemporary would be It Had to Be You by SEP.
Actually I don’t like Contemporary romance so I read very few of it and rom what I read I would say my favorite is Beautiful Girl by Shiloh Walker

WOW, guess it’s agreed we ALL think SEP is the “Queen of Contemporary”!! I can’t even pick one of hers, they were all great!! Luv this package today.
Wow – great giveaway!! I haven’t read much contemporary romance, although I do have a a few in my TBR. I’d have to go with How To Score by Robin Wells, it was cute and I liked the ending.

I don’t usually read much contemporary romance, but I have to confess that I loved Vision in White by Nora Roberts. Even though she’s very predictable, she’s a mind candy read for me. 🙂

Virgin River by Robyn Carr
My recent favorite contemporary is Susan Mallery’s Lone Star Sisters series and Sunset Bay, hers as well.

This one I read recently, but I adored everything about the book..Lisa Kleypas, “Blue Eyed Devil”.
I really don’t read contempary romances but I did read A Run for the Money by Gina Ardito last week. It was such a sweet and refreshing story; quite different from the books I normally read.
So I’ll have to Gina Ardito is my fav.

Tracey
Oh gosh, I really don’t know. I am going to have to go with Lori Foster. Any of her stuff I really like. I liked Hard to Handle and Simon Says.

Favorite contemporary…hmmm..I would have to say just about anything by Nora Roberts.
This is a toughie, I really like Practice Makes Perfect by Julie James.

Hands down it is Mouth to Mouth by Erin McCarthy. Love her contemporary romances, but this one is my fav.
SEP – Natural Born Charmer!!

So mnay how to choose… hm
I will go with Barara Bickomore’s Beyond the promise
The Bachelor by Carly Phillips
Wow Great giveaway! my favorite straight contemporary would have to be The Princess By Lori Wick
My fave contemporary is actually a series . . . the Deidre Martin hockey books. Love all of them!
Tough question! Several authors come to mind, including Victoria Dahl, Robin Wells, and Kristan Higgins. But in the end I think I have to go with Nora Roberts. Oh, pick one title? Um, I just made that really hard on myself! It really depends on my mood, but one that I’m almost always happy to re-read is Black Rose, the middle book in her Garden trilogy.
Oh, and CONGRATS on the BBAW!!
I’m gonna go with Jude Deveraux, The Blessing.
Deidre
I don’t do much contemporary, but some recent recs had me reading Victoria Dahl. I really enjoyed Talk Me Down and its follow up.
My favourite straight contemporary is Remember When by Judith McNaught.
Behind Closed Doors by Shannon McKenna
I’d have to go with Nora Roberts being my favorite.
Although am not a huge fane of contemporary the last one I read is one of my all time faves is Phantom Waltz by Catherine Anderson
Boy, that’s a hard question to answer. I’m going to go with SEP’s Ain’t She Sweet 🙂
at the moment probably Beautiful Dreamer by Elizabeth Lowell
Any of Nora Roberts books!!!!
I love this question. Contemps are all I read.
Hard to choose one – so here are a few:
Kiss an Angel by you know who. LOL.
Sarah’s Child by Linda Howard
Anything by Catherine Anderson.
Robyn Carr’s Virgin River series.
Susan Mallery’s Buchanans, Titan and Sweet series – all hers arew awesome.
