Perhaps she has gotten to the point where she is kind of just "mailing it in".

I think with her latest stuff it is more a case of my tastes have changed. I still read the JD Robb books and her NR titles. And while it has been a few years since one has knocked it out the park for me, there is still that possibility.
These books are mostly her very early ones she wrote for Silhouette and her a few of her early single titles where everything was BIG and OTT like Dynasty or the old Jackie Collins books. She does better when she's writing what she likes than when she was new and trying to write to what was then the market. But you can see glimmers of ideas she would later tailor to her style of writing. So I do not regret reading them.
I think I just hold my favorite authors to a higher standard than I would a new-to-me author, even when it comes to their backlist.
