Lila Elliot is terrified by dogs after being bitten as a child. A golden, Gracie has been sorely abused and neglected. They help each other heal.

Like you, Julia Quinn and Nora Roberts really click with me. So does Julie Garwood, Tessa Dare, Julie James. Also, another huge thing is tone of the book. That is often a huge selling point for me, and tone is usually closely related to author's voice.<br /><br />Characters are important too.
