Well, not to go overboard in the opposite direction... but my husband's out of town for a week, so I don't want to read anything too exciting.  I'm going to have to dig out all my traditional Regencies and Lynn Kurland. ;-)

How about Curtiss Ann Matlock? I like her 5 books set in Oklahoma(might bemore but I've only read these 5) open highways, driving lessons then these 3 occur later in same town: cold tea on a hot day, at the corner of love and heartache, recipes for easy living.

debbie macomber's good for no sex..

Isn't Jude Devereaux's stuff pretty tame?  Seems like her reviews are usually good.

I second the Debbie Macomber books. She's great, IMO. I love all her stuff. She's not very racy for the most part but still great reads.

I also like Robin Lee Hatcher's books (her old historicals are awesome). Not a lot of sex in them either. Some of her titles are...Dear Lady; Liberty Blue; Chances Are; Kiss Me Katie. In fact she re-wrote some of them to make them Christian Fiction. But I haven't read them since they were re-writen. I know the originals were good.

I also like Stef Ann Holm's series Honey, Hooked, Harmony and Hearts. They were good. So was Portraits.

I love Curtiss Ann Matlock myself, but another good pick for sweet romances would be LaVyrle Spencer. I would highly recommend " Years" and "Morning Glory".

I've read a couple Edith Layton books and they had little to no sex in the them.

Ah, but the tension is excellent! I think I've already read all of her early "clean" books.

Non-sexy.  What's the point in even reading them?  Personally, thats something that holds no interest for me.  If you insist, here's a link for you:

If you're willing to jump genres, there's always Mary Higgins Clark.  They're mysteries, but very clean.  Even the bad guys don't cuss or have sex LOL!  So clean that I find them distracting, but maybe that's just me.

I was actually mostly joking. I'm still reading the same stuff. :-)

My recommendation:  keep reading the same and get yourself some nice toys. 

Toys are good when reading romance and the husband is away. 

Well, considering that he has business trips every four months now, I guess you guys are going to have to give me some toy recommendations. ;-)

We've been together 22 years and practically never been seperated before. Sniff.

Loretta Chase or Carla Kelly for regencies!

here's a few (bumping up for the non-steamy thread)!
