Sad to say I didn’t recognize any of them. It’s been a while since I read Carolina Moon and I don’t remember Charmed at all. I can’t say as I have read any of the other authors. I’v eheard of them just haven’t read their works. Not sure why just never picked one up-lol. My sistere has many SEP I have only read one of hers that was for a class I took online. Other wise I tried another one but it just couldn’t drag me into it. Interesing the way you did this Jamie. Fun to see how every one writes things. Look at an older 1980’s book and compare to a 2000+ book. More descriptions in the 1980’s than nowdays.

I’m coming in real late. Fun post, Jamie. I would’ve guess #3 to be Susan Wiggs, but I see it’s not.

Shea, I don’t think you sounded snotty. You made a great point.

Go, Elise! You would have gotten two right, instead of just one!

(Still, one is nothing to shake a stick at.)

Man, I almost guessed Sabrina Jeffries for #10 in my last post! I should have gone for it!

Is #8 Nora’s? It definitely sounds like her voice to me, although I don’t recognize the book…

I really wonder how I would have done on this quiz. Poorly, I think.

And no SEP! I have no SEP in my library at all, for particular reason. I’ve probably read something of hers, but I’ll be the first to admit that I have a lot of catching up to do in my romance reading.

I like the quote from #5, but the book was actually a DNF for me. I was so upset by it, too, because I’d enjoyed the author’s books in the past. And reading that quote now, I wonder why I didn’t like the book.

Oh, yeah. Now I remember.

and #8 isn’t Christie Craig, but the author is sassy! One of our sassiest stars, though I’m not sure I’d say that to her face.

There’s always Western-set romances, Tina!

Getting warmer…
