Although, recently I've tried to branch out a bit and pick up stuff where the back cover doesn't necessarily appeal. Sometimes I find a treasure I might not have picked up otherwise!

Not sure what Kimmy means by "spunky," but the character in this one is emotionally repressed until the very end, so I wouldn't think "spunky" would be a good descriptor. For historical (and, ahem, "mature"), I would recommend either Sabrina Jeffries or Liz Carlyle. They both write Regency period romances with really interesting characters. They're both wickedly funny too, although Liz's books are a little bit darker than Sabrina's, I'd say.

I've only sampled a couple of genres (historical and urban fantasy/supernatural) but romance is about the most fun category of fiction there is, I think.<br><br>Alana, you'll want to be careful about which books you pick up. You run the risk of getting the "spunky" type of woman I know you don't love. I recommend spending some time at Borders reading the back covers and maybe the first page or two of some different things to see what appeals. I agree with everything you said!

I've liked your stories. I like sci fi and fantasy (when the characters aren't stupid), I think a lot of the YA Lit that I like has a romantic aspect to it ("Howle's Moving Castle," Shannon Hale's stuff, Robin McKinley...), and I actually did read historical romance novels when I was in Jr. high. Can you lead me in a more mature direction?<br><br>Oh! Um... by mature I mean that I'd like adult heroines please. (Anything else is just bonus...) I'll bite. I've liked your stories.
