All my favs are historical authors-and as a matter of fact, most have been favs since their traditional Regency days. Which leads to the question-what in the heck am I going to be reading in these ladies are no longer writing?
Carla Kelly Jo Beverley Mary Jo Putney Mary Balogh Joanna Bourne
Newer authors which have almost reached auto-buy status for me: Elizabeth Hoyt, Louise Allen, Elizabeth Rolls, Julia Justiss, Mary Blayney |

Oh this is tough. It really depends on my mood - light? historical? contemporary? I think I'm always guaranteed to enjoy these authors (sorry - more than 5!)
