    This was very hard and needless to say I loved the h/\h’s in my fav contemp reads but here are some other favorites of mine:

    Lori Wilde – Love at First Sight – Natalie McCleary & Dade Vega
    Robyn Carr – The Wanderer – Hank Cooper & Sarah Dupree
    Carolyn Brown – The Cowboy’s Christmas Baby – Natalie Clarke & Lucas Allen
    Shannon Stacey – Love a Little Sideways – Drew Miller & Liz Kowalski
    Susan Mallery – Two of a Kind – Felicia Swift & Gideon (with a deep voice) Boylan

    What are the chances two if them are Natalies, not a common name, but becoming more common I think and it is my great granddaughter’s name as well.

    Happy New Year one and all.
