Maya Rodale

“Romance readers and writers do know good writing — it is the kind that make you forget you are reading, that transports you to other worlds, make you feel all the feelings, and makes you want to pick up another book and repeat the experience.” That is exactly how Maya Rodale describes romantic writing. And it is true. You pick up any novel of Maya Rodale and you will realize how true these words are “……the kind that make you forget you are reading…” You keep on turning pages relating yourself with the characters, witnessing their struggles, experiencing their feelings. That is the world of romantic novels…

The best place to start is the Writing Girls series, the earliest of Maya Rodale's multi-book series: it opens with A Groom of One's Own (2010) and runs to 5 books across 2010–2012, ending with Seducing Mr. Knightly (2012). Maya Rodale's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
