Hot romance? Karen Marie Moning
A really awesome series? Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series
My favorite romance author of all time? Laura Kinsale
First one in my mind is Gena Showalter- her books are funny, sexy and gripping from the first to the last word.
I would recommend Richelle Mead…love all her books.
Hard, so many good ones out there, but for pure fantasy fans I would say Robert Jordan 🙂
I would recommend JR Ward or Linda Howard.
John Twelve Hawks

Maya Banks, Lora Leigh, Lorelei James, Jaci Burton. Ok, you asked for one, but I have a lot of favorites 🙂
I’m going to go with Richelle Mead because she has 2 different series that I’d recommend.

I always recommend Barbara Delinsky and Susan Elizabeth Philips. They just fill a need 🙂
I would recommend Elizabeth Hoyt and Keri Arthur. Love their books.
Please don’t enter me into this drawing.
That being said – an author I don’t think many people have heard of – Susan Lyons.
She’s got a few books coming out this winter [I can’t wait to read those] – but her Awesome Foursome books are some of my favorite romances ever. (Champagne Rules, Hot in Here, Touch Me, and She’s on Top.)
I would have to say Shelley Bradley/Shayla Black. She is an autobuy for me. I love her books.

I like (among others) Michele Bardsley, Dakota Cassidy & Shelly Laurenston. Bardsley has the vampires of Broken Heart, Oklahoma; Cassidy has the Accidental Series & Laurenston has a couple great shifter series.
Kim Harrison. It’s more Urban Fantasy but I love me a kick-ass heroine. I love that the ‘romance’ aspects of her books are so fluid.
If I had to,had to recommend one single author it would be Meg Cabot for seriously funny and stellar novels like Every Boy’s Got One and The Boy Next Door.Another writer I adore is Leanne Banks who’s written gems like ‘His Royal Pleasure'(check it out, you’ll love it) and I also recommend Kelley Armstrong for her Elena novels(Go Elena!Go Kelley!).If I had to, if I had to pick a fourth author it’d be Anne Gracie for writing ‘Tallie’s Knight’ and finally, Mary Jo Putney for Uncommon Vows.
I know the list is lont…What can I say? I love books!
My fave author is James Patterson, also enjoy Linda Lael Miller

Kristan Higgins and SEP – I love comedy with my romance!
Lisa Kleypas or Nalini Singh

That’s easy . . . Sherrilyn Kenyon!!

Well, that is a hard one. I love a lot of the authors already mentioned, but I’ll have to list two b/c they go back and forth as my favorite – primarily depending on my mood. 🙂
Claire Thompson and Carol Lynne
They are both excellent authors and while I could go on and on with this list I know those 2 will always be in my top spot.
Jen

It would be Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
There are so many I would recommend.. Katie MacAlister, since she has something for everyone – YA, mysteries, historicals, contemporaries, a dragon series, her Dark One series, etc..
And Jennie Crusie. Her contemporary romances make me so happy. Just enough humor, the author herself is an extremely nice person (I’ve met and talked to her several times), and her male leads are yummy.
Enter me, please!
Thanks!
