Recommend your fluff books

DH and I leave a week from today for a glorious week at the beach without the kids. I plan to sit my butt in a chair with my kindle in one hand and drink in another. I need good easy and fun to read book recommendations. I have no desire to learn anything new or expand my horizons. TIA

    I'm not sure what genre you are hoping for, but I love romance and have to have books with a Happy Ever After - life is too short to invest hours and energy into some downer Nicholas Sparks book where he inevitably kills someone (been there, done that).

    Kresley Cole - Best paranormal series I've ever read (needs to be read in order). I wouldn't consider them fluff, but any book list I make will have her at the top :).

    Monica McCarty - Best historical romance - she writes about real people and fills in the blanks on their history.

    Julia Quinn - These are close to fluff books - very fun and lightweight - I recommend starting with her Bridgerton series.

    Lisa Kleypas - Some great books - historical and contemporary.

    Nalini Singh - Her Psy-Changeling books are excellent paranormals - again, needs to be read in order (first book is Slave to Sensation). Absolutely horrible covers - amazing stories!

    Nora Roberts - I like a lot of hers, but I absolutely adore her Bride Quartet series! In order: Vision in White, Bed of Roses, Savor the Moment, Happy Ever After - it follows four friends who run their own bridal company and each take on a different facet (photographer, florist, baker, planner). 

    All happily ever afters, various genres. Enjoy your child-less week!

    After Hunger Games, I went through a big YA-dystopian-trillogy phase. There are some great ones out there, and it's total mind candy. I like the Matched series, the Uglies series, and the Divergent series a lot. There was another one, too. Oh, yeah, Delirium. I'd recommend any of those if you liked Hunger Games.

    Janet evanovich's Stephanie plum series. Female bounty hunter who is terrible. Very funny!! On the island I think it was called. About a teacher and student who get stranded on an island. Pretty good and very light. Nora Roberts Chesapeake bay series. It's 4 books. romance about 4 brothers who live on Maryland shore.
    I like the Stephanie Plum books too.  Very quick reads!

    Kathleen Brooks is one of my favorites right now.  She is relatively new, and she has a half dozen books in her Bluegrass/Bluegrass Brothers series.   They are mostly romance, but also distinctly mystery geared.  They are funny and light with enough intrigue to keep me reading.

    Anything by Chelsea Handler is hilarious.  Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea had me in stitches.  I have read a couple of her other ones and they are all hysterical

    I liked Divergent and Delirium a lot.  I also agree with Stephanie Plum and Emily Giffin. I think the Spellman series is fantastic - light, mystery series. Oh, and I loved On the Island. 

    I do not love Gone Girl - but I am one of the only people in the world who didn't like it.

    Jane Green is my go to feel good author. I prefer her earlier stuff to her newer stuff. Jennifer Wiener is good too. If you like crime shows than I also recommend Lisa Scottoline's books. She writes of women lawyers in PA with sexy plots. I mainly just read fluff. It's better that way! Lol

    Yes, I love Jane Green! Also Emily Giffin, Cecelia Ahern and Lauren Weisberger. Nora Roberts does a good romance novel (slightly smutty usually though) and her trilogies are great.
