Shannon Drake:
Bride of the wind
Branded Hearts
No other man

[mishmish]

^Have you tried Samantha James sis? ok din siya for me

Samantha James:
My Lord conqueror
Gabriel's bride
Every wish fulfilled
A promise given
Outlaw heart
My Rebellious heart
My cherished enemy
A promise given

Lisa kleypas:
Prince of dreams
Midnight angel
Lady Sophia's lover
Someone to watch over me
Suddenly you

[nuggets]

haven't tried samantha  james pa.... but will consider  i've read suddenly you by lisa kleypas... it's good din  brenda joyce marathon kasi ako ngayon 

[mishmish]

^Samantha James is good, ok mga stories niya, tsaka yung writing style niya, though minsan predictable ang plot, but nevertheless maganda pa din...

Halos magaganda lahat ng mga novels ni Lisa Kleypas, she's one of my favorite authors too

Brenda Joyce:
Scandalous Love
Firestorm
Violet fire
Fires in Paradise
After Innocence

Kat Martin:
Bold Angel

[nuggets]

for lisa kleypas i've read the hathaway series..... and if my memory serves right parang seduce me at sunrise yata ang pinaka-maganda...  yung iba kasi nakalimutan ko na din ang story... tumatanda na kasi 
The Bride by julie Garwood was also good 

[mishmish]

^ Ah talaga? I have Seduce me at sunrise my LK, but haven't read it yet. Yun lang ang meron ko sa Hathaway series. The rest of my LK's book are published by avon na

Try Kathleen E. Woodiwiss' The wolf and the Dove. Ok ang story, yun nga lang, I find the story too long

[nuggets]

gusto ko kasi yung mga novels na pag nahu-hurt ang character dama mo din.....  weird no.... 

[mishmish]

^Brenda Joyce's novels are mostly like that, especially her earlier works
 Try mo Catherine Hart's Tempest - super kakatouch and nakakaiyak or Judith E. French's Shawnee Moon, very touching din
 
Gusto ko din i-try si Judith Mcnaught, haven't read any of her works yet...

[nuggets]

highly recommended din ang mga books nin judith mcnaught .... except yata sa contemporary nya na tender triumph... may series din sya sa historical romance .. westmoreland..... try mo... it can tug your heart too....

@mishmish, you need to read Judith McNaught. She's a must read!

@nuggets, may books ako nabili sa booksales na sobrang nakakaiyak. But I also forgot na yung title at authors. Di ko kasi nadala yung mga books ko when I move kaya I di ko mapost dito kung ano yun. Pero isip2x pa ako...

[mishmish]

^Hi sis lyn next target ko si Judith Mcnaught na talaga, dami ko pang books na nakatambak, di ko pa natatapos

By Johanna Lindsay, nagustuhan ko yung "When love awaits" niya.

[nuggets]

@sis lyn grabe ang dami ni-recommend di ko na alam kung what babasahin ko kasi after reading the de warenne series stop muna ako sa historical and move to before i go to sleep & the power of six siguro naguguluhan na din ako so dami naka-line up for Rosanne Bittner, wala ata akong makita na ebook nya e.. try ko pa ulit maghanap.... tsaka pa-try din isipin yung title ng book na sinasabi mo... historical romance din?
@ sis mishmish oo highly recommede si judith mcnaught.. i'll try to post yung order ng series nya pag nakita ko.... 

[blatherina]

Yikes parang old school mga alam ko. My mom owns these books so I got to read them back in the day. Kathleen Woodiwiss & Johanna Lindsey are good. Favorite ko dati yung kay Kathleen W. -- "Shanna".

[nageinna]

ako naman i'm a big time julie garwood fan. she's known for her great historical novels especially her earlier works. sa sobrang kaadikan ko i have all her books nga past-present. sakanya rin ako nagumpisang magbasa ng historical.

you can try:
prince charming (sweet and nakakakilig)
saving grace (i cried while reading this. my fave)

[lyn]

@mishmish, yeah go read JM. You won't regret reading her books. About naman ni JL yung Mallory Family nya na books maganda. Nakakainlove and easy read lang din siya.

@nuggets, yeah wala din akong makitang ebooks for Roseanne Bittner. Wish meyron. Maganda kasi yung stories nya. At yes, maganda din may break para hindi nakakaumay. Kahit maganda pa yung story sometimes kailangan mo lang ng break. Kaya ako I read YA, paranormal, yung mga light read like eharlequins or erotica books.

Nakalimutan ko na talaga yung book nasa Pinas kasi yung books ko eh. Sa sobrang dami di ko na alala.

@blatherina, love Kathleen E Woodiwiss and JL.

@nageinna, will try reading Garwood's Prince Charming and Saving Grace. Thanks for the reco!

[maika14]

Pride and Prejudice is a favorite.

Now, I'm downloading something wonderful by JM. Looks promising. Lakas maka influence ng mga sisters! Thank God for rest days. Hehe.

[nuggets]

@ maika14 - yep maganda ang something wonderful.... try reading amanda grange's version of pride & prejudice entitled Mr. Darcy's Diary (Mr. Darcy's POV) ... it made me appreciate pride and prejudice all the more...

@nageinna - read some of julie garwood's work.. ok din sya... di ko ma-remember ang title ng nabasa ko ... the bride yata yung isa... nice din
