Question: Who are some good romance authors!? Or your favorite authors!?
I currently enjoy reading Stephanie Laurens, Suzanne Enoch, Lisa Kleypas etc, mostly from Avon Historical Romance novels!.

I am looking to find some new historical romance novels that also include vampires and things alike in them!. Any suggestions on titles or authors who write such things!? Or even non-romance authors, just give me some ideas on some interesting books to read!. Fiction or non it doesn't matter!.

Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
For the Regency period, Johanna Lindsey's Malory series is wonderful!. The order is as follows:
Love Only Once
Tender Rebel
Gentle Rogue (my favorite!)
The Magic of You
Say You Love Me
The Present
A Loving Scoundrel
Captive of My Desires
No Choice But Seduction

Julia Quinn is also a pro at this time period!.

As far as historical vampires!.!.!.I don't know!. I can recommend some contemporary vampire series!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My list of favorite authors is always changing but I have always remained a great fan of JK Rowling!. Currently, I think Nicholas Sparks, David Clement-Jones, Michael Crichton and Tom Clancy are on my list of favorite authors!. I also think Khaled Hosseini is really talanted and I'm simply im love with his book, The Kite Runner!.

I'll definately recommend you to read books by Jill Marie Landis!. She is a superb romance author and her book Lover's Lane is a masterpeice!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I really enjoy reading books of the supernatural and "out of this world"!.

I really liked:

Gena Showalter's series of Atlantis!. These series takes you to the underwater world of Atlantis filled with mermaids, nymphs, vampires, demons and more
-The Heart of the Dragon
-The Jewel of Atlantis
-The Nymph King
-The Vampire Bride (Layal's story new for 2009)

My ultimate favorite series is Gena Showalter's series Lords of the Underworld!. Cursed immortal warriors search for Pandora's Box in order to keep themselves alive but find out that they must find it before the enemies do and face the wrath of the greek/titan gods!. Finding their true loves along the way, takes them by surprise and creates new obstacles in their search!.
-The Darkest Knight
-The Darkest Kiss
-The Darkest Pleasure
-The Darkest Whisper (Sabin's story new for 2009)

I liked any book by Amanda Ashley!.!.!.

Her books are of the Vampire loves human category

Her books include
-NIGHT'S MASTER
-A WHISPER OF ETERNITY
-AFTER SUNDOWN
-DEAD PERFECT
-NIGHT'S KISS
-DESIRE AFTER DARK
-NIGHT'S TOUCH

If you want to journey to the realms of King Arthur after the fall of the round table when Demons ruled the earth, Mandrakes (half human/half dragon) and gargoyles flew in the sky, and the good guy was once the bad guy, than take a peek at the Lords of Avalon series by Kinley MacGregor
-Sword of Darkness
-Knight of Darkness

If you love time travel romance books and like big beefy highlander men who can leap through time then you would like the Masters of Time series by Brenda Joyce, I really loved this series so far!.
-Dark Seduction
-Dark Rival
-Dark Embrace
-Dark Victory (new in 2009)

How about a series about the "Familiar" race!. Familiars are people who can transform from man to cat, and have a very sensual passionate side to them!. A futuristic/ time travel series that reminded me of alot like Star Wars with all the odd creatures that are introduced!. This series by Dara Joy is a must have!!
-Knight of a Trillion Stars
-Mine To Take
-Rejar
