Date: 8/13/05 04:28 pm (UTC)Haven't re-read most of them, but I remember them fondly from my last romance-reading period. I adored Charlie All the Time, Getting Rid of Bradley, and What the Lady Wants. (The latter is the one where the hero is described as having "a face like a catcher's mitt with a jaw.")
She wrote a novella-length romance called Sizzle for some sort of Harlequin promotion, and if you can find it anywhere, it's amazing. The only story I've ever read in which the heroine is faced with a boyfriend who never listens, and solves the problem using bondage!
Her books are the ones that I've got scattered around the house, so that when the kidlet is old enough to be curious to read about sex, she'll start with stories where the people actually like each other.

Date: 8/14/05 11:22 pm (UTC)I'm on her writers list and, while I only lurk in the shadows and soak up the smarts, I practically memorize everything she posts. She's a good teacher. And funny as hell. You would be a great addition -- let me know if you're interested in joining and I'll send you info.
