I've been reading more contemporaries lately. Can't find anything to match Susan Elizabeth Phillips or Jennifer Crusie but have read some good revies of Victoria Dahl. Any fans or not fans - tell me about her"?

I love VD. Loved her first three historicals ( they had alot of emotional impact) and her latest not so much. Liked all her contemporaries(loved Jane's story the most), but the last one not so much.

Isn't Jane's story her latest?

I've read her 4 contemporaries.  The 3 Tumble Creek ones and her latest one, Crazy for Love.  I loved them all!  Definite LOL moments in all of them.

I love Victoria Dahl.  Start Me Up is my favorite of hers, but she hasn't written nearly enough contemporaries for me.  Have you tried Rachel Gibson?  She writes in a similar style and is one of my favorite authors.

I read Crazy For Love a couple months ago and gotta say I was not  "crazy" about it, lol.

It was my first book by this author. It was alright I guess, I may try another of hers in the future, maybe it was just the couple in the book that didnt do anything for me!

I tried Talk Me Down and it was a DNF for me. Dumb mystery and a lot of internal lusting monologues, which I just hate.

I love Victoria Dahl's contemporaries... I think her stories are great.  Not so full of the fake, over the top stuff, but some realistic steam.  Some funny moments too. I have yet to try her Regencies, but they're on my reminder list!  When I see her name attached to something, I automatically get it.

As a historical girl, I've read her historicals only.  As said, first 3-lots of emotional impact and a good storyline.  The latest, " A LIttle Bit Wicked"-not as much impact-fun, lighter-good, not great. 

Haven't read Dahl's historicals, but I really enjoy her contemporaries.  I really liked the Tumble Creek trilogy but was kind of luke-warm on the latest one.  She's still an auto-buy for me though.

If you like SEP and Crusie, try Susan Mallery, Susan Donovan, Kristan Higgins, Toni Blake, Robin Kaye- some of my favorites.

I just found A Little Bit Wild at the library sale, so I guess I'll give her another try.
