I have a client who likes her love stories quite steamy, Her words were "raunchy but not pornographic". Apparently she loves
Nora Roberts and Diana Gabaldon. Does anyone have any ideas?

There's a web page, <A HREF="http://www.likesbooks.com">http://www.likesbooks.com</A> which includes lists of
romances. One of the lists is called Luscious Love Stories: Luscious Love
Stories are the sexiest reads - they should generally be rated "hot."
Some of Nora Roberts' books are included under contemporary. The address
for the luscious reads is: <A HREF="http://www.likesbooks.com/luscious.html">http://www.likesbooks.com/luscious.html</A>

Hope this is helpful,

Does anyone have any ideas?

If she wants to push the envelope a bit, there's always Robin Schone -
romantic erotica. Current release is "The Lady's Tutor," Edwardian
historical.

More "conventional" suggestions for historicals include Sara Donati's
"Into the Wilderness" (Donati is a Gabaldon protegee) and just about
anything by Mary Jo Putney or Jo Beverly. My mind's drawing a blank
beyond those names - do you have a copy of "What Romance do I Read next?"
or "Genreflecting"? Either would be very helpful; patron might enjoy
browsing.

For contemporaries, there's always the Harlequin Temptation line - it's
considered THE "steamy" line for contemporaries. Writing quality is
pretty high, too.

Jayne Ann Krentz writes steamy stories with a hint of suspense (like Nora Roberts) and if your patron likes her, Krentz also does a
historical series under the pseudonym Amanda Quick and a futuristic series under Jayne Castle (Orchid, Zinnia, etc.) .

Another popular hot & heavy is Judith McNaught (perfect, Night Whispers, Paradise, Remember When) She also writes some historical
novels.

Susan Elizabeth Philips (Fancy Pants, It Had to be You, Nobody's Baby But Mine, etc.) is another patron favorite, although her
novels are romance & humor, rather than suspense.

Anne Stuart (Nightfall, Moonrise, etc.) has novels with suspense, but they're dark edged, with men who are almost "anti-heroes" and
maybe not the kind to be polite to your mother.

I'm sure you'll get loads more recc's

Lots of good suggestions--I guess I'd add Karen Robards (I think her
contemporaries read a bit like Nora Roberts). Susan Andersen also
writes lively contemporaries.
Jean Ross Ewing is a possibility also. She
is a relative newcomer to historical romance who has written a couple of
interesting books.

Oops, I forgot to add Dara Joy, who writes very lively books indeed.

Barbara Dawson Smith writes steamy historicals that are very
well-written. Her most recent was "Too Wicked to Love" earlier this
year and a new title, "Seduced by a Scoundrel" will be out in December.
Your patron might also try Kathleen Woodiwiss or Rosemary Rodgers, two
authors who helped popularize the steamy romance novel.
