Great list! I am a fan of Shana Abe, but haven't read those two books. (And am a little freaked out by the heroine of the second one because my daughter's name is Avalon. My Mom always said my kids have romance novel names. LOL!) I like A Kiss at Midnight, The Secret Swan, and The Smoke Thief, though I haven't really gotten into that series. Her dragon folk are almost a little too much.

I have read a couple of Claire Delacroix' books, too, but not The Princess.

Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series is a lot of fun, and I adore The Duke and I, but I agree that the series is uneven in quality.
