Do I ever! I have the excellentest suggestions in the history of the world. But first I must tell you how impressed I am that you managed to read so many Sword of Truth books. I gave up after the first one.
But I digress. Suggestions, yes. I could take the easy road and just point you to our Recommended Reading page at FFF. There you will find my and other people's favorite fantasy novels and series. However, I'll make a little list of stuff you might be interested in based on your history (WoT and SoT).
Since you are C's soul twin I'd say that you should give Raymond Feist and Janny Wurts' Empire trilogy (Daughter of the Empire, Servant of the Empire & Mistress of the Empire) a try. It's not a vast series like the ones you've read, but it's got a little bit of everything and there is a rather big romantic element. The best thing is that it's finished.
Many WoT fanatics are also fans of George R. R. Martin and his A Song of Ice and Fire series (A Game of Thrones, A Clash of Kings & A Storm of Swords). Now the problem with Martin is that he's spent the last four years trying to write the fourth book in this series, and he is still not done. Since there will be at least another two books after that one, it might be a long time before we see the end (not that that should faze a WoT fan). Still, it is well worth reading.
Myself, I'm very fond of the Deverry books by Katharine Kerr (there are 11 so far, start with Daggerspell). The first books do perhaps suffer a bit from beginner's prose, but once Kerr finds her stride the story just gets better and better. There will be two more books, one is in the editing stage and should be out next year.
Is that enough for a start, or do you want more? :-)
