Thanks to the folks at The Broke And The Bookish for hosting Top Ten Tuesday. This week is a freebie with a Valentine twist. To find out what books, authors and bookish things other bloggers are sending Valentine’s, click HERE.
I have to admit that romances are not my favorite fiction genre. Give me a page-turning suspense, a puzzling whodunit or a detailed historical any day. But there are a couple of authors that write romance so well, that I will pick up their books without hesitation. So here are my favorite romance novelists.
Top 4 Favorite Romance Writers
Jane Austen
Can anyone write romance as well as Jane? I think not. Her books are classics and not just because of the romances contained in the pages. But if you are looking for swoon-worthy heroes and plucky heroines, you cannot go wrong with any of her books. My all time favorites are Pride And Prejudice, Emma and Persuasion.
Now on to contemporary writers that I think write outstanding romance fiction.
Irene writes in both the contemporary romance and romantic suspense categories. She does both very well. I especially liked Hope Harbor, Trapped, and Deceived.
Rachel writes contemporary romance that is so much more. Several of her novels are modern-day fairy tales and others involve the realistic struggles involved in relationships. My favorites are The Wedding Dress, The Wedding Chapel and Once Upon A Prince.
Beth Vogt’s romances combine a bit of the light-hearted with the heart-touching. My favorites by her are Somebody Like You, Catch A Falling Star and Wish You Were Here.
