So if you’re like me and still feeling a little bit romantic, all you need to do is turn to Oklahoma’s great Romance Writers.

The new release list from the Oklahoma Romance Writers of America (OKRWA), offers something for everyone and every taste.

Need a little elegant romance in your life, try Amanda McCabe’s well researched, The Shy Duchess.

Christine Rimmer, Vickie McDonough, Tina Radcliffe and Linda Goodnight bring us the sweeter side of romance. I’ve noticed (since I’m a new NOOK owner) that several of Christine’s books are available for download.

Debra Cowan has a new historical romance set in 1886 West Texas. Debra also writes romantic suspense.

And speaking of suspence,  Sharon Sala ‘s Blood Stain looks fantastic. I love the trailer, with just the music and words.

Want your Romance to be hot and steamy, with a touch of the bad boys? Check out the new titles by Jaci Burton, Myla Jackson and of course, Gena Showalter.

And very exciting, Merline Lovelace has a new Samantha Spade book I haven’t read yet called, Catch Her If You Can.

The holiday is over (and for some of us none too soon), but the Romance continues. . . .
