If you are going for good story, love story, strong characters, or pure smut.
A couple of fun ones I've read recently are:
Risky Business – Suzanne Macpherson (375 p) – Marla Meyers is the clumsy supermodel that is forced to take out a policy for herself to protect the agency. Tom Riley is apparently the only insurance agent dumb enough to write it. When his company finds out, he is forced to be Marla's bodyguard. But is someone out to get her? All the suspects are there. The book is written like an old Sam Spade episode, but all tongue in cheek. Completely unbelievable, but very fun.
Her Book of Pleasure – Marie Donovan ( 251 p) – HRB#302. Michiko is a Japanese-American who spends all of her time working at the university as a professor of Asian art. Attending her best friends wedding, she meets someone who suddenly drives her wild. There is a story in there about a pillow book from Japan. But the hot sex is definitely the star of this one. Certainly the hottest of the Blaze books I've read to date.
Montana Creeds: Logan – Linda Lael Miller (379 p) – A western romance. Not as western as I thought it would be, but a bit more cowboy than I usually can stand. This is the first in a series of three involving the Creed brothers. I'm sure by the end of the third, everyone will end up happily married with wives they can take care of. Certainly a bit of a different mindset than the others I've been reading lately.
Strange Bedpersons – Jennifer Crusie (249 p) – Nick and Tess fight over the difference between rich and poor and other such frivolity. But the dinner scene with Parke's parents is very funny indeed. Predictable but fun.
Over Hexed – Vicki Lewis Thompson (336 p) – Much like her Nerd series, but with a witch and a warlock who give love advice. In this, the first installment of an obvious series, Sean and Maggie hook up in the town of Big Knob.
Actually any of the Vicki Lewis Thompson Nerd books are pretty good too.

Yeah, as Rebekah said, switching to good books that have romance might help.
