Virginia Kantra! Her latest, The Fairytale Life of Dorothy Gale, was a marvelous Wizard of Oz retelling with a sweet love triangle. She's written series: some contemporary romance, some paranormal (selkies!), and her Little Women retellings (Meg & Jo, Beth & Amy) were also fantastic contemporary romance. I think the Dare Island series was my favorite.

I liked the Little Women retellings so much! She’s doing Anne of Green Gables next I think.

Have you read any of Jasmine Guilleroy's books? The Wedding Date and all the ones after are good fun, sweet and sexy. I really like her stories!

I'm still pretty new to romance reading but loved Role Playing by Cathy Yardley (we need more middle aged romances!) and You, With a View by Jessica Joyce. Plus anything Casey McQuistin.

Olivia Dade! Her series about actors from a Game-of-Thrones-type TV show is great, and I really enjoyed the one she just released (Spite House). Also loved Penny Reid’s Knitting in the City series.

I love Olivia Dade! I have to try Penny Reid bc I do love a knitting romance. There was this trio of British ones about a yarn shop… maybe it was Katie Fforde? I don’t think so. But I loved them. Brits do that thing where some romances stretch over multiple books which I like.
