But when her father got sick, she took over working at the shop he owned, and when he died, after racking up thousands of dollars in medical expenses, Lori ends up tethered to the shop and to a life she never really wanted.

But this means very little frivolity, silliness, and certainly no time for any kind of a serious relationship. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t want sex. She definitely…

I decided to list my favorites too in the hopes that this might inspire a good conversation about what makes a romance your favorite, which genres are you favorites and of course, which books I’m missing or you’ve read that you think should be on the list.

Please note with each genre, I’ve listed only ONE book by each author (even though many of these authors have multiple books on my keeper shelves) and only ONE book in a series.

What happens when two dominant Changelings mate?? All hell breaks loose.

Mercy Smith is a sentinel of DarkRiver. She’s among the most respected and even keeled warriors in the pack.

Her counterpart is Riley Kincaid, the second highest ranked member of the WindDancer pack, and nicknamed “the Wall” since he shows little to no emotion and as his alpha, Hawke, says, arguing with him is like arguing with a brick wall.
