I really would recommend reading The Lost Husband if you (or anyone) wants a good read about family, coming to terms with yourself, and a little romance (plus goats!!!)
Most definitely – @Marie! You will not be disappointed. All of her books are fantastic, but I’d start with either Maid for Love from the Gansett Island series, OR All You Need Is Love from the Green Mountain/ Butler Vermont series.
Brenda Novak – Whiskey Creek series, Silver Spring series, Fairham Island (The Secret Sister & The Secrets She Kept), Before We Were Strangers, Stillwater Trilogy – that’s all I’ve read of hers so far, but they are all so good! Also, RaeAnne Thayne anything, Carla Neggers, there are just so many really wonderful authors out there!
I’m not a romance reader but Adriana Trigiani’s book are about as close as I get. Any of ’em – the Big Stone Gap trilogy, Lucia Lucia, The Shoemaker’s Wife, Very Valentine, Bravo Valentine, The Supreme Macaroni Company, All the Stars in the Heaven
Huh. I don’t know many people who like both those authors, most NR fans I know can’t stand Nicholas Sparks, same as me lol.
I assume you’ve read all of Nora Roberts? Let me get my list lol. Do you like paranormal? Implied paranormal, because it’s got people with possibly magical powers, but nothing else paranormal? Historical?

These are in no particular order, and some have more explicit sex than others. I love all the authors, though I’m not in love with all the books each has written.
@Sydney, that’d be awesome. Thank u. I really appreciate when readers go the extra mile & write one after they read the book. I always do this, too. Have a fabulous wkd. I’m off to Portland, Maine soon. Bye.

They’re turning one of her books, The Lost Husband, into a movie with Josh Duhamel too. That was the first I read from her, and I loved it!
