Favourite Romance Author (and my review of A Duke of Her Own)

I'll be honest, my favourite romance author changes almost daily. Currently it is Eloisa James (http://www.eloisajames.com/). I've only read A Duke of Her Own, but I'm completely charmed and infatuated. Villiers is delightfully rakish, as any Regency romance duke ought to be, and Eleanor and Lisette (yes, there are TWO heroines in this tale) are both delightful. I must say I would hate to be in Villiers shoes, cause these women rock. Without giving anything away, I think he made the perfect choice in the end. I actually discovered about halfway through that this is book six in a series, but I had no problem reading this as a stand alone book.

You want to know the greatest thing about this book? It is published by Avon, a HarperCollins Imprint (http://www.harpercollins.com/imprints/avon/). Avon offers a free sample of most of their books. And I'm not just talking a couple of pages or chapters. They offer 60+ pages. Then if you like what you've read you can purchase the e-book and download it to read right then and there. (I read the first 67 pages yesterday, before it actually went on sale, and purchased the rest this morning) It looks something like this:

It is what makes Avon my favourite romance website. I intend to browse through the rest of the books by Ms. James (and most likely purchase them, much to the disapproval of my pocketbook ;) ).

So tell me, who is your favourite author?
