If you like J.D. Robb and want to experiment with Nora Roberts, you might want to start with her "romantic suspense" - like Birthright, The Reef, Blue Smoke, Tribute. They're set in the current day, rather than the future. And the books are "standalone", rather than series driven like the "in Death" series. But the "flavor" is the same, with probably more romance in them.
If you like her style, then you might want to try her more mainstream romances, many of which were released in trilogies: the Chesapeake Bay trilogy, the Gallaghers trilogy, the Concannons trilogy. The Bride Quartet series - including Vision in White fits in this category of her work.
Then, if you decide you still enjoy her books, you could start exploring the re-release titles you can find of her early category (i.e., Harlequin/Silhouette) stories.
She's also written some paranormal-type romances (the Key trilogy, a vampire trilogy), and one labeled "horror" by some sites (Sign of Seven trilogy).
She's one of my favorite authors, although I'd be the first to admit there are some books of hers I just didn't care for, but overall, I've found her books consistently enjoyable.
