Okay, so I want to read some books from the library (If I like then I request on paperback swap). I'm looking for contemporary and historical, even time travel romances. So What authors and books can you recommend similar to these authors:

Try Dick Francis - like Suzanne Brockmann, his heroes are larger than life and he also includes romance. Unlike Brockmann, the Francis books usually stand along and can be read in any order. |

Julie Garwood and Jude Deveraux are similar to Johanna Lindsey. |

One of my favorite series is by Diana Gabaldon...the first book is titled Outlander,....it has time travel, romance and historical information. I have all of these books on my permanent bookshelf and have read them several times!! Highly recommend!! Good Luck!

Howard, Kleypas, Foster, Palmer, and Brockmann are some of my favorites! Here are some others... (FYI - I don't like time travel, historical, or very much paranormal.)

I totally second all of the above - especially Katie McAlister (I love Blow Me Down ) and Susan Elizabeth Phillips Iris Johansen has some great historicals, as well as contemporary romantic suspense/mystery - same with Catherine Coulter Jayne Ann Krentz Christina Dodd ( I think its hit or miss with some of hers) Jo Beverley |

I just re-read the Clan of the Cave Bear series by Jean Auel. I had read it when it first came out and thoroughly enjoyed it. I never read the last book in the series because it came out 11 years after the others ... but I picked up the first one and had to read the rest. It's definitely historical romance - based on the theory Neandrathals lived at the same time as man. the research she did is phenomenal.

I second the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon. Those books are highly addictive. In order, they are Outlander, Dragonfly in Amber, Drums of Autumn, Voyager, The Fiery Cross, A Breath of Snow and Ashes. |

I like most of those authors! There is one name missing from that list...Julie Garwood. The first book of hers that I read was The Bride and I was hooked. I have all her books right now. I prefer her historicals to her contemporary. |
