Recommended Reads



This section is dedicated to the Duets authors who have written other things. I wanted to make some kind of list of the ones that I have read that I think you should read. A kind of "If you like Duets, you'll love..." list. Note: I would never recommend something that I haven't read myself. I know that these authors have probably all written lots of other things, but if I haven't read them, you won't find them here. If there are any readers out there who have read things by other Duets authors and want to recommend it, please e-mail me.



Alexander, Carrie
Smooth Moves [Temptation]
This is a really good book. My favorite part about it, though, is that there are so many twists and turns in the plot. Just when you think you've got everything figured out, they throw something new at you. Smooth Moves also holds a special place in my heart because it was the first Temptation I ever read.

Atkins, Dawn
The Cowboy Fling [Temptation]
Yea! This book features my favorite kind of man: the accountant. Also, one of my favorite plot twists: the masquerade. Our accountant friend is posing as a cowboy. I love this one.

Daly, Barbara
A Long Hot Christmas [Temptation]
This is a really great book, but if that doesn't get you, then the fact that it's a prequel to other Duets might. Plus, Sam is hot!

Denton, Jamie
Under the Covers [Temptation]
A very hot read!

Dunlop, Barbara
Forever Jake [Temptation]
One of my other favorite kinds of books: where the man is hopelessly in love with the woman near the beginning of the book. Plus, there's that past thing that happened in high school that Jake kept a secret because he's so sensitive!

Foster, Lori
Okay, this is going to be one heck of a list. Lori Foster is one of my favorite authors. I'll probably just list them with this note: they are all wonderful. All.
Sawyer [Temptation]
Morgan [Temptation]
Gabe [Temptation]
Jordan [Temptation]
[These stories also appear in Once and Again and Forever and Always, which are being released this year.]
Caught in the Act [Harlequin single title]
Too Much Temptation [Brava single title]
The Winston Brothers [Jove anthology]
Wild [Jove single title]
Married to the Boss [Harlequin Maitland Maternity] "Satisfy Me" [from Brava anthology All Through the Night]
"Indulge Me" [from Brava anthology I Love Bad Boys]
"Luring Lucy" [from anthology Hot and Bothered]

Gabriel, Kristin
Seduced in Seattle [Temptation]
From my favorite Temptation miniseries ever - Single in the City, featuring...THE SKIRT! I was so excited when they brought the miniseries back.

Hoffmann, Kate
The Mighty Quinns: Connor, Dylan, and Brendan [Temptation]
I love the Quinns! They're actually one of my favorite miniseries. (I especially love Brendan, the writer.) I just love miniseries that involve great men that you can fall in love with, and you can definitely fall in love with the Quinns.
"Shooting Stars" [from Harlequin anthology Written in the Stars]
From one of my favorite anthologies, featuring horoscopes! I love the way the same horoscope is used through the whole book in different ways.
"Wanted: Wife" [from Harlequin 2 in 1 book Terms of Engagement
This is awesome; the beginning, and several parts through out, are hilarious. I've read it so many times, and just typing this makes me want to read it again.

Ireland, Liz
Husband Material
This one is weird, but still funny. Definitely something you can imagine a Duets author writing. In fact, the whole reason I bought it was because she was a Duets author.

Jarrett, Liz
Tempting Tess [Temptation]
I love the love story in this book, but one of my favorite parts is the background story of searching for models. This is a great example of how what's going on in the background can really add to your story, and Ms. Jarrett does a great job of that. (Hey, I'd buy just about anything by her - she's a great writer and she sent me a free book!)

LaBrecque, Jennifer
Barely Mistaken [Temptation]
Another one of my favorite kinds of stories: the brothers! And another favorite miniseries: the Wrong Bed.

O'Reilly, Kathleen
Just Kiss Me [Temptation]
Yea--more brothers! My favorite part of this book, though, are the checklists about Eggs Benedict. I think they're hilarious. (You'd have to read it to understand.)

Rawlins, Debbi
In His Wildest Dreams [Blaze]
This is one of my favorite Blazes. I know I shouldn't have laughed, but when Nick said he dreamed all these things that he read in a magazine...oh, it was so funny. You'd just have to read it. In fact, you really should.

Raye, Kimberly
Midnight Kisses [LoveSpell]
This book is so funny. It's one where the big, macho man has to pretend to be a nerd to protect his identity. (Yes, another favorite plotline.) So cute.

Riley, Eugenia
The Bushwacked Bride [LoveSpell Timeswept]
Yea! Time travel! This book is one of my all-time favorites. In fact, I thought of the Recommended Reads page because I read this and wanted everyone to know what a great book it was. The picture on the front of the book is the most perfect I've ever seen. It really just says it all.

Shalvis, Jill
A Prince of a Guy [Temptation]
Very cute. Part of the Red Hot Royalty miniseries, if you like those.

Sullivan, Jane
One Hot Texan [Temptation]
An arranged marriage because of a will story. My favorite scene is when Cole, Ginny's husband, shows up at the bank where she works and announces to everyone that he married her, then kisses her, so that everyone will think it's a love match and to show up some people who have been making fun of her. It's so sweet.

Summers, Cara
Moonstruck in Manhattan [Temptation]
Yea--it's THE SKIRT again!

Thompson, Vicki Lewis
Another favorite author with a long list. Again, all of these books are awesome.
Mr. Valentine [Temptation]
My absolute favorite of all of Ms. Thompson's books...in fact, one of my favorite books ever. It's about a man who writes romance novels. Oh... I think I'm in love.
"Mystery Lover" [from Harlequin Blaze anthology]
Notorious [Blaze - sequel to "Mystery Lover"]
Acting on Impulse [Blaze]
The Colorado Kid [Temptation]
Two in the Saddle [Temptation]
[I can't find the third in this series or The Colorado Kid to buy. I found The Colorado Kid in the library. *Sigh* I hate missing books in a series.]
The Nights Before Christmas [Temptation]
Compromising Positions [Temptation]
