Lorraine Heath

Would like some recomendation for a good romance novel?

can’t read through the first chapter of some stories lately. have read o beverly, lorraine heath, jody thomas, madeleine somehting but did not like. but stories by lisa kleypas and kresley cole. love love love but their contemporary/fantasy novels, not so much. so anyone have anything along those lines.
i’ve read the twilight serie and not looking for something so tame…
oh, well, i’m not looking for a young adult fiction so pretty much most of the one reccomended are in the sarah dessin category but i’m not in college yet so yeah…

Crossing Paths by Dianne Blacklock
I found it to be a relaxing, funny read. Jo Liddell is a journalist in Sydney fighting her way to be recognised as a worthy columnist even though she gets stuck doing fluff pieces most of the time. She has just bought her own flat, is having an affair with a married man and generally feels pretty good about her life. The only thing missing-even though she’s not really looking-is a man she can have a decent relationship with. In steps Joe Bannister. Award-winning journalist and swarthy to boot. Joe is a likeable character who has come back to Australia to be near his ailing father but is not looking to fall in love. Jo and Joe come head-to-head on many occasions and their families and friends provide a familiar backdrop for their squabbles and dramas. However, just when you think the two Jo/es are destined to be together, there’s another surprising twist to the story. Crossing Paths is an entertaining, well-written romp for its genre and one for the Marian Keyes fans out there
