Can't remember who suggested Lori Wilde to me, but you were RIGHT!!! Great read and I just ordered a bunch of her back list.

I had asked for writers similar to Robyn Carr, Debbie McComber and Susan Wiggs...and Lori Wilde fits the bill perfectly. I am reading SWEETHEART'S KNITTING CLUB right now and can hardly put it down. Already ordered the next one from Doubleday. I don't have the patience to wait on the wish list. LOL

Any other similar authors to suggest? I call them "Hometown Romance"...not sure if there is a better label for the genre.

Happy Reading!

If you like historicals you might try Dorothy Garlock.

Looking for Contemp, but thanks anyway, Sherri. I've read all of Dorothy Garlock. She's a little too tame.

I have read so much over the past 30 years that I have run out of authors and am looking for new ones.

i don't know if anyone suggested rachel gibson, susan andersen,  christie craig,  jennifer cruise,  dixie cash,  geralyn dawson,  susan donovan,  christina dodd,  victoria dahl,  lori foster,   elaine fox,   karen hawkins talk of the town,  if you like some mystery & romance  joan johnston texas series is really good,   kasey michaels,  erin mccarthy,   susan mallery,  luAnne Mclane,  susan elizabeth phillips is great her football series;   marilyn pappano series,   christie ridgeway ,  sherryl woods   these authors are really good books... sorry if some if these were already  recommended  to you..  Enjoy 

Good list, Sue. A couple of those authors  I've never heard of. Thanks so much!!!
