I like Ajax because of the complicated family relationships, and because in a crisis, Hugo's the kind of guy I want around. I also like how he won't be bullied by old Lord Darracott.
Cotillion does it for me because of Freddy. He's good at useful stuff, not pointless dramatic stuff. Also, the end bit, starting with the confrontation in the Rectory to their kiss in the carriage never fails to cheer me up.
Toll-Gate was enjoyable, but not really memorable. I haven't bought the Sourcebooks edition yet, but when I do, I'll re-read it.
Haven't read Masqueraders, but isn't it one of the Georgian romances?
Foundling is on my list to read. I think Sourcebooks is putting it out in September or so.
Talisman Ring is one of the ones that's grown on me over the years, like Frederica. I like the pairing, because Tristram is useful (there's sort of a theme here) and Sarah because she has a healthy appreciation of everyday drama, perhaps a little too much for Sir Tristram Shield. The Beau makes a good villain - not a stupid one.
I really enjoyed Spanish Bride although I count that more as a historical novel. Infamous Army falls into the same category, although I enjoyed the family connections in that one.

Regency Buck left me kind of cold.
