Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

THAT WAS YOUR SECRET!
what a let down!!!!!!!!!!
(just kidding)
no shame in that,
I haven't read any of her books
Definitely, Sense and Sensibility! It's my favorite Austen book by far.
Sense and Sensibility. I just listened to it and Emma on audio. :)
I agree...Sense and Sensibility. It's the only Jane Austen story I really liked. (Now you know MY secret! LOL)
By the way, love the pic!
Well, my secret is that I just read one of her books last year! I prefer books by you ladies on GWO....just finished A Cowboy's Touch...loved it!
Wow, and here I thought Pride and Prejudice was her most loved novel!
Thanks, Jackie!
Ive never read Jane Austen or any classic for that matter. A few times I've tried and never got past the first few pages. I wish though that I loved them
I'm a big Jane Austen fan. My sisters get annoyed with me because i actually memorize the lines off the book. lol. I think you should read Sense and Sensibility or Emma next. Her other works are great but many people thought that they weren't as great as Pride & Prejudice, Emma, Sense & Sensibility.( Although I also like Mansfield Park and Northanger Abbey a lot as well.)
I've never read a Jane Austen book for the same reasons you mentioned. Since there are some free ones on Kindle, I think I'll give it a try.
The picture is so cute!
I've never read a Jane Austen novel either. Last week I opened the Kindle app on my cell phone and pulled it up. I got through the first page and was pulled away. Then my phone started locking up. I had to close the program so still haven't read one, but I'm going to try again! There's an app for the iPAD I believe.
I have a special place in my heart for Persuasion. Maybe because the heroine gets a second chance after many years have elapsed. I also like S & S and Emma. Mansfield Park not so much because of the first cousins thing.
I love the humor in Emma. It was the first Jane Austen book I read, and while I love all of them, I still return again and again to Emma.
I highly recommend Persuasion. I am a diehard Jane fan, love the stories, book and movie form. I grew up loving P&P most, but when I was introduced to Pesuasion, that became my #1 favorite, hands down. The history of Anne and Captain Wentworth, the secrets, the emotions....*sigh*....Okay, I think I have to read it again :)
They all sounds good! Sounds like I have the top 3 to pick from. :)
Mansfield Park for sure. P and P is my favorite, but Mansfield is close second. And Persuasion is so, so good too. (Of course Emma and Sense and Sensibility are fabulous.)
Northanger Abbey was her first book, though published after she died (?), if I'm remembering my high school English lessons correctly. Anyway, it reads like a first book. Not her greatest, but decent.
