Hope recommends her Lord of the Rings stories:

Another wonderful interspecies author, Baranduin gets the crown for being a wonderful, and above all believable, romantic. Her stories are captivating, heartbreaking and very very hot. The Courtyard of the White Tree especially has become an story of epic proportions (and following!) that effortlessly and incredibly effectively shifts through a range of emotions and remains believable.
