I think I've never heard of most of the authors you all mention except
- Jude Deveraux (love "Sweat Liar") and
- Sherrilyn Kenyon (just finished book 2).
Otherwise my taste in authors most probably is pretty boring:
- Susan Elizabeth Philips
- Nora Roberts / J. D. Robb (at the moment I'm reading book 3 of the Circle-Trilogy and a good Eve & Roarke book never can be wrong )
- Maeve Haran
