I love Rhys Bowen. She has several series as well as standalone. They're mostly clean cozy romance/mysteries.

I also love Katherine Center. She writes romance, but whip-sharp, mostly clean and with a lot of depth.

b'shaa tova!

Thanks and amen!!!

Debbie Macomber is great for clean romantic light fiction.
Nora Roberts is one of the best for fiction, but her books do have s-x scenes. Also Sarah Morgan and Susan Mallery.
I enjoy the small town series where you get a different set of characters, but it's set in the same town and you meet previous and future characters of other books. Such as Mariah Stewart's chesepeake series, Sherryl Woods Chesapeake Shores series (tv series based on books but books so much better)
There's some english authors that I enjoy for chicklit type reading.
Milly Johnson (the yorkshire pudding club is the first book I read and perfect during pregnancy)
Jill Mansell
Katie Fforde
Rowan Coleman is also great. Her 'Memory Book' was similar to 'what alice forgot'.

Sometimes I will put into google books similar to ... and it will bring up a list of similar authors or books.

I love books by Alice Hoffman, Louise Erdrich, Elizabeth Gilbert. They sometimes have inappropriate scenes but nothing too graphic and easy to skip over if you want.
some to start: The Marriage of Opposites by Alice Hoffman, Love Medicine by Louise Erdrich, The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
Also: My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante, Watership Down by Richard Adams, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi (graphic novel), Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, Nervous Conditions by Tsitsi Dangarembga

If you love Harry Potter, have you ever tried Brandon Mull? He's a kids - YA author whose books are sooo good!

I can't believe I forgot about Sarah Adams! She is absolutely adorable. I am obsessed with the cheat sheet. It's so cute and I love that she has like a couple of books that are this like the same characters like she has one with characters and then she spins off and does their siblings and stuff. It's really cute and she specifically said that she prefers to write closed door romance books which is awesome

Try Jill Shalvis and Robyn Carr. Lots of books between these two authors ... some are part of a series.
