One thing I miss about the newer romances is the sexual tension between the h/h. It's my favorite part of the a couple's journey. Most newer books don't know how to built that up, it's all about Instant love, sex and no more chase. The chase is the best part!
On the Twilight, Texas series. See if your library has it. my library has all but book two that one I bought. I'm gonna hold off on Book 3 of the Jubilee series. It's a Christmas book. So I am saving it and the Cookie club one for my Holiday readings later this year.
One thing I love about Ms Wilde Texas books are the in depth characterization that she does. I must find more writers who have that skill. Any recommendations?

More chick-lit than romance, but I really enjoyed the
"Cobbled Court Quilts" series by Marie Bostwick.
And have you heard of Lisa Wingate's
"Daily, Texas" series?
I really enjoyed Lori Wilde's Twilight Texas series, but I read them in this order, 3-2-1-4, because that's the order I bought them in. I started with the Christmas themed novel because the title and cover appealed to me, and I bought it on a whim. I bought the ebooks at around $6 to $7 each.
I don't mind paying that price for ebooks if I can be sure they are formatted (spelling/grammar) properly. Plus, I only read about one or two books a week at the most.
