I've read all of RG's books and I would like to read other Authors who write like her, any ideas?

Thanks,

Esther

I think Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Susan Andersen, Jane Graves, Deirdre Martin and Susan Donovan are similar. Also, Jennifer Crusie's earlier single titles (Tell Me Lies, Crazy For You).

Ditto Linda's very complete list and adding Elaine Fox.

I like Rachel Gibson (mostly, usually). My first book was See Jane Score - which I didn't really think was all that great, but I continued to read her and found I do like her style mostly and usually! I agree with comparing her to Susan Andersen. I don't think SEP and Gibson's styles are that similar, except that they both write contemporary humorous romance - same with Crusie. SEP seems to use quirkier situations, and Crusie has a completely different approach to heroine characteristics. I do like both authors, I just don't think they write like Rachel Gibson. I need to try those other authors!

I agree with Linda's list. :)  I'd add Jane Heller, Christie Ridgway, and  Kate Angell.

I'd add Hailey North - loved the 2 books I read and ended up glomming her entire backlist. She isn't writing these days - a real shame.

Thanks for all the info, I've read Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Susan Andersen and Susan Donovan. 

I'm going to check out the other Authors and see which books I need to order.
