    I read from your list, Risky Game - loved it. As for a recommendation; so hard to pick up - but really loved I Want to Hold Your Hand by Marie Force.

    I would have to say Jill Shalvis' Lucky Harbor series. I haven't finished the entire final trilogy but I'll give my nod to It's In His Kiss

    This isn't the genre that I read so I don't have a recommendation but I'm glad to read yours.

    I got into reading Marie Harte this year and her McCauley Brothers series definitely stood out. I'd recommend the first book (to start), The Troublemaker Next Door

    I'm more a historical reader right now but I do mix in some other genres here and there but I can't say I have a favorite.

    Oh, it's so hard to pick just one!! I read a few books in the Fool's Gold series by Susan Mallery (Thanks, KIm), as well as some in the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis. Thanks for all the suggestions to add to the TBR!

    I recently read the first two books in Christie Ridgway's Cabin Fever series 'Take My Breath Away' and 'Make Me Loose Control' - they were fun - looking forward to the next one in 2015.

    I liked Paw Enforcement too! And it's more of a women's fiction story, but I also loved Emily & Einstein by Linda Francis Lee.
