First up is Joanna Bourne. She writes smart historical romance, and having met her in person, I can attest that she's very nice as well. Her most recent book, The Black Hawk, was a tour de force, and won her the RITA, which is the romance industry's highest award. If you haven't read Jo, add her to your list right away!

Finally, no exploration of the letter B would be complete without mentioning Patricia Briggs. She writes two urban fantasy series that I love--Mercy Thompson and the Alpha and Omega books. While the books are not strictly romance, they do have a love story at their core.

And now it's your turn. What 'B' authors or books do you like?
I can not say I have a "B" author I enjoy but I do have a set of "B" books I am hoked on and they are Blossom Street Novels by Debbie Macomber.
ReplyDeleteI have nearly every novel Patricia Briggs has written. Love everything too. Her latest in the Mercy Thompson series, Night Broken is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out Joanna Bourne--I LOVE historicals!
ReplyDeleteOooh more B's! I mean, I'm not calling them B's o_0 lol bad joke? Fine. They sound interesting, I might be more into Shannon and Patricia's books...but only cause I'm on a paranormal/UF kick this month lol
ReplyDeleteIt's a triple treat here at your place!

Can't think of a "B" author off the top of my head, but would add my vote for the Blossom Street series....as it sort of counts.

Wow. I don't normally follow all the AtoZ stuff, but I might just have to follow yours. :)
ReplyDeleteI like some things by Mary Balogh (sp?). One of my favorites is 'Simply Love.' I'm also working my way through the 'Slightly-' series.
Great post!
IWSG #243, until Alex culls the list again.
Dino Buzzati fan myself--but then again, I'm a sucker for a good short story!!
ReplyDeleteYou got to meet Joanna Bourne? How cool! Adding names to my to-read list... :)
ReplyDeleteMary Balogh! I love her books, have you read them? I think my favorites were the "Slightly" series. :)
ReplyDeleteHi. Not sure what to answer to your question, but I probably would have liked to read Shannon Butcher and Patricia Briggs :)
ReplyDeleteYay for Jo!
ReplyDeleteI don't know your other A-Z authors - darn it, you're adding to my wishlist! :-)
Love your back cover copy too (from the earlier post)
Thanks, Deniz! I'm excited for this one to come out :)
DeleteI haven't read Mary Balogh or the Blossom Street Series, but both are on my TBR list! :
ReplyDeleteMy TBR list is going to be bulging after this lol. Amazons one click will love me, my bank account and hubby, not so much lol
