Of some authors might have gotten their rights back, or they won't be in the Scribd package, but i'll give me a start.  |
I answered over there while you were bringing this over here, so I'll move my answer...
I agree 100% with Blosson. SIM was the best imprint/line ever. A huge variety of stories and settings. The best ones are from the late 80s through the mid 90s.
Many of Nora Roberts old category romances were written for the SIM line. Linda Howard, Sandra Brown, Kathleen Korbel, Merline Lovelace, Judith Duncan, Ruth Kangan, Marilyn Pappano, Emilie Richards, Doreen Roberts, and Jill Shalvis also wrote for the line and were some of my favorites.
I'll second the recommendation for Justine Davis, particularly her Trinity Street West series and earlier books. Her Redstone, Inc series was very hit or miss, though there were books in it I loved. Most of my favorite early titles of hers have not yet been released digitally. The same for Rachel Lee's first books in the Conard Country series, Joyce McGill, early Sandy Steen, early Mary Ann Wilson, and early Lee Magner's books also have yet to be released (which are all also some of my favorites).
I bought a ton of the SIMs when Harlequin first released the treasury titles and had that reusable $4 off coupon a few years back. I still have many of my print copies. SIM was the first line I subscribed to, and the only one I kept, so I've read a lot of them over the years.
The line eventually became Silhouette Romantic Suspense in Feb 2007 and then Harlequin Romantic Suspense in April 2011. So if you are going by the info at FictionDB be aware that they still label the series SIM over there.
ETA: I've heard the search feature at Scribd won't allow people to search by publisher. You may want to use Fiction DB or even the Harlequin site to narrow down your wishlist (though searching at Harlequin isn't always that easy even when you know what you are looking for
)
