I love Joan Wolf's books too, and have loved them since her Signet Regencies back in the 1980's (???). She is the only romance author I consistently read. For a long time most of her Regencies were available as ebooks through Regency Reads, and I got almost all of them with great discounts from Fictionwise before FW went broke. Then they disappeared from Regency Reads.
Now she's said on her website (or maybe her email newsletter, can't remember) she is reissuing them and a couple are $0.99 right now at Amazon US:
London Season and
Lord Richard's Daughter, both of which are awesome. My absolute favorite of these older ones is
His Lordship's Mistress.
I like all of her books though - the contemporary ones as well as the historicals. And since I mostly read mysteries, her two mysteries,
No Dark Place, and
The Poisoned Serpent, are two of my favorites also. They are $0.99 and have been at that price point forever, even though they are HarperCollins.
Anyway, she's got a lot of books to read - I almost envy you if you are just getting started!
(And since I'm not big on the sex scenes anyway, I'm happy with the fade-to-black...)

To my mind you have to include more detail if you're going to include them at all, and there are only a few authors who can do the "fade to black" type scenes successfully (Deanna Raybourn for one).
