Christina Dodd's historicals are my favorites, but I also read her contemporaries when I’m in the mood.
Trouble in High Heels was my car book for the past week. I was so hooked at the beginning that I took my car book inside the house and read. I know. That’s cheating, but I couldn’t help it. About two-thirds of the way through, I took it back to the car and finished it there. I liked Brandi Michaels, for the most part. She becomes a little ditzoid around jewelry.

She's writing contemps now?
And I cannot believe you took your car book inside.

Yea, she's been writing them for a while. I like her historicals better.
DH has missed his bus stop more than once!
