I must second Jennifer Crusie, though I have not read Faking It and therefore cannot speak on that title. She is so witty-funny, and her heroine's have things to do, and most of them are dealing with self-esteem issues with awesome zingers and and and sense of humor is death or life to me in a book. I loved Bet Me, Agnes and The Hitman (a collab with a military thrillers/sci-fi author guy), Getting Rid of Bradley.
How do you feel about Georgette Heyer? Because when she was good, she was quite good, but when she was bad... Arabella, The Corinthian, are great caper-not-steamy-romances. The Devil's Cub (which in brief summary sounds like Lord of Scoundrels, but I doubt is too much alike), and These Old Shades...
I don't read many. But I have a couple of authors that have made my Exceptions list. X)
