I was a voracious reader and had long since gone through all the interesting YA at our public library. I started reading romance at a fairly young age-6th or 7th grade. Then one day years later at the Sleepless in Silverdale conference, I found out she’d turned into Sandra Brown. For years I thought she’d stopped writing. Then another, until I couldn’t find any more. Then I stumbled into a book by someone named Erin St. Which one was the highway to happily ever after? Here’s my question for you: which category got you hooked on romance? A recent title? A book from waaaay the hell back when? Titles and authors, please – or as much as you can remember. So many of us started reading romance with category romances. Being able to shop by location (Spain! Antigua! England! Australia! Spain! New Zealand! Spain! CANADA!) or by plot hook (“secretary” “secret baby” “cowboy”) would be SO great. Note to Harlequin: meta tags for book shopping would be SO AWESOME. So many people mentioned the Harlequin Presents line, while I’m partial to the Silhouette Desire line.Īuthors that make the autobuy list of many on Twitter last night included Sarah Mayberry, Cheryl St.John and Karen Templeton (from Sybil), Sharon Kendrick, Anne McAllister, India Grey, Day LeClaire, Leslie LaFoy, Julia James, Lynne Graham (from Lynne Connolly), Allison Leigh, Christine Rimmer Maya Banks), Nancy Warren, Emilie Rose, Kathie Denosky, Yvonne Lindsay, Anne McAllister, Rhonda Nelson (from Limecello).

Last night on the Twitter feed I had a ripping good conversation with so many people about their favorite Harlequin lines and which authors are absolute never-fail for them.
