Romantic Fiction, Reality Shaping and The Work

[Il Matto]

finished Remember That Day from Mary Balogh, I enjoyed it although at times it felt more like a rush to catch the readers up and set up upcoming books than a story in itself.

I finished this one recently too, which actually 'finished' my reading of Mary Balogh's novels. I have to say, I didn't feel as though the story was rushed. I though Balogh masterfully weaved the Westcotts and the Ravenswoods together (and I hope she continues in that vain!).
Now that I've finished all of Balogh's books, I think I'm going to make a start on Alice Coldbreath's novels, unless anyone has an alternative suggestion? Who would be an ideal author to read after Balogh?

I've been reading Alice Coldbreath after lots of Balogh and some other regency period/Victorian stuff. I am really appreciating the change of scenery, for one thing, and she also writes very good stories with great characters. Highly recommend you go this way.
