B is for... Joanna Bourne, Shannon K. Butcher, and Patricia Briggs

ecause there are so many great books and authors out there, I couldn't pick just one for today's post.  So you get three :)







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!

The Sentinel Wars, Book 1

For paranormal romance, I really enjoy Shannon K. Butcher.  Her Sentinel Wars series is great, and while I haven't read her romantic suspense books, I hear good things about them as well.  (As a side note, I also enjoy her husband's books.  His name is Jim Butcher, and he writes the Harry Dresden series about a wizard private eye in Chicago.  Good stuff.)



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.

Alpha and Omega, Book 1

And now it's your turn.  What 'B' authors or books do you like?
