Diane Lil Adams, Delaney Cameron, Jennifer Peel and Sarah Price are clean romances, I can vouch for those. Nichole Van was also clean when I read the House of Oak series, haven’t read the Maledetti brothers as yet.
Oh you should add Christy by Catherine Marshall to this list. My favorite book of all times, I’ve read it several times and listened to it on tape, never tire of it.
Yes, I should have had that one on there! I’ll put it on the next list for sure. 🙂
Johanna Lindsay Warrior Woman. I love this book, some new to me writers, Patricia Rice, SM Blooding, Zoe Ardan and a few more.
Sariah Wilson’s Moonstruck and Starstruck are great. Anything by Christy Barritt is fantastic. Her Lantern Beach and The Worst Detective series are great. C.C Warrens Holly Cross series is clean..more suspense than romance and just reels you in. Rebecca Deel’s military romances are fantastic and clean and not to be missed. All are available on KU and Amazon. Jennifer Youngblood’s books are fun. Kimberly Rae Jordan books are always heart tugging and uplifting . These are some of my “never miss” authors and books!
