Romantic Comedy? Anyone?

For now I recommend Janet Evanovich (not the Stephanie Plum series). They're cute, lightly humored stories. I'll go through my collection and see if I find anything else.
I'll third the Crusie suggestion - no one does it better.Janet Evanovich is great - Stephanie Plum Series - first ones are brilliant but are starting to get stale now, the Motormouth books are hilarious.
Molly Harper writes light hearted PNR. Good fun.
Vicki Lewis Thompson's nerd series is a fun read. Particularly if you like beta heros. They can be a bit hit and miss though.
I should warn you though that neither of the books you mentioned are what I would consider romantic comedy though and the book's I've recommended above are. They're my -when I want a lighthearted break- books.
Wild Jinx is the funniest book I`ve ever read.The others in the series are pretty good too.
Oh...By Sandra Hill
I agree with everyone above that Crusie is the Queen of romantic comedy and that Evanovich's stand-alone books are fun, quick reads.Some others you might try:
Katie MacAlister (my favorite is The Corset Diaries)
Kasey Michaels
Christie Craig
Julia Harper
Susan Mallery (Falling for Gracie and Sweet Success are my favorites)
Leslie Langtry has a light-hearted series about a family of assassins
Jana Deleon
Lisa Lutz Spellman series isn't a romance, but has a great sense of humor and there is romance in the stories.
OMG!
! I forgot about that book. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Definitely romantic comedy.
At what book does the S.Plum books get stale,I am just reading my first one for some reason.It is quite funny in places,just reading about the xcop she subed for stealing Morellis jeep out from under her.Wow this boxer guy is some scarey dude.If you haven`t read these already they are really quite good,don`t miss a good book
Marianne Stillingsspecifically: The Damsel in this Dress
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evie
Those are the funniest ones.
Also Beth Ciotta
I finished reading Fourteen Days Later by Sibel Hodge
last night and can recommend it. It had me laughing out loud a number of times.
I love Mira Lyn Kelly's books. My favorite is Wedding Ring or Wild Fling (I know. Cheesy title). It reminded me of early Jennifer Crusie.
Ok, so, maybe I'm posting this in the wrong section - which I do often, but I'm not dumb I promise! lool - but i've been looking for some nice reading. I looooooooooooooove YA, and I'm currently obsessing with Teen romance - so sue me! :P!Problem is, everything I've been reading is... well, not nice at all :S It's boring, lame and very predictable. I've read 'Beautiful Disaster' by Jamie McGuire, and know everything is lame :S!
What I'm looking for, basically, is a nice teen romance, maybe a bad boy would help :P!
Help please!
For teen romance, Claudia, I'd recommend Simone Elkeles and Stephanie Perkins. Simone's are heavier, as in more dramatic, life and death situations. Stephanie's are more rom-com-ish. Both are really good, imo.
