Janet Evanovich has rereleased her early romance novels. I've only read one of the romance books - Manhunt. I really enjoyed it and finished it in a day or two. I'm a big fan of her Stephanie Plum novels which have have plenty of sex and romance as well as adventure.

Rebecca Paisley-A basket of wishes.
Its about a fairy Splendour who is ordered to marry a human( a duke).The poor hero is confused by the woman who will shrink if not kissed regularly,drinks apricot face lotion.On top of that he is harassed by splendour's sister who even turns him into a snail.His cousin Emil thinks that Splendour is exactly what the doctor ordered for the staid ,boring Jordan.
Mary Balogh-Lady with a black umbrella(Funny romance).The heroine is always rescuing the hero-whether he wants to be rescued or not.
Lynsay Sands-A bride promises her father that she'll obey her husband 'always'.I mean 'always'.The poor groom didn't know what he was going to get when he was coarced to marry the king's daughter.
Anne Gracie-The perfect rake.The heroine just wants to save her sisters from their abusive grand father.However one lie led to another and another.The hero was perfectly willing to go along with the charades.
Really great romance novels
You belong to me-Johanna lindsey
A dark champion,Born in sin-Kinley Macgregor
Angel rogue,One perfect rose,The wild child-Mary jo Putney
Mary Balogh-Slightly tempted,A famous heroine,The temporary wife
The de burgh bride-Deborah Simmons
Isn't it romantic-Ronda Thompson
How to treat a lady-Karen Hawkins(and the rest of the Talisman ring series)
Lord of the storm,The sky pirate-Justine Davis
Tracy anne warren-The wife trap
Another good series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books provide an alternate take on vampires.People who are unjustly murdered call upon Artemis(Greek goddess) and she grants them a day to avenge themselves.After that they are recruited to her army to fight against evil.These are romance novels.Best of the series are 'Dance with the devil' and 'Seize the night'.
Werehunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books in the series are Nightplay,Dragonswan,Stroke of midnight,Unleash the night.These are romance novels.You can read not only about were-wolves but also about were-dragons,were-panthers,wer... and were-tigers.The heros are handsome,powerful and with a mysterious past.Interesting reading.The best of the lot is Night play.
Dance with the devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The following review is taken from Amazon
Zarek was mad, bad and more than a little insane, and now everyone wants him dead. But hey, that was nothing new to this loner. Born the bastard son of a Roman nobleman and a Greek slave, Zarek had known a lifetime of abuse, torture and humiliation.
It takes a very special woman to see past that hostility and find the lost, unloved boy inside. Happily, Astrid is such a woman (or demigoddess, actually). Her empathy, patience and unconditional love make the perfect foil for Zarek's personal demons. They truly are a match made in heaven -- or should I say Mt. Olympus?
Also seize the night,Nightplay by Sherrilyn Kenyon
For a really funny vampire romance books read Argeneau book series by Lynsay Sands.The first one of the lot is 'Single white vampire'.Recluse vampire and novelist Lucern Argeneau finds his lair being invaded by his determined editor Kate.He has to hide the fact that he is a vampire from Kate,partake his daily blood quota and manage his family.His interfering all-vampire family doesn’t make things easier.Infact his mom thinks that Kate is perfectly suitable for him.
Prime vampire novels by Susan Sizemore is interesting.The best of the lot is the 4th book 'Master of Darkness.' Reluctant vampire hunter Eden Faveau thinks Laurent is her new partner in an investigation to take down a local vampire drug ring. Laurent is really a renegade vampire from the Tribe Manticore and he is in the right place at the right time to take advantage of Eden. He needs her computer expertise to hack a laptop that he stole from the Tribe leader, Justinian.

I'd like to recommend "The Piano Tuner" by Daniel Mason, it's readable with nostalgia by such heartfelt love in Burma.

Dainelle Steele--the older ones. You can probably find them at garage sales/used book stores. They're easy reads and decent stories.
