THE NEW FRONTIER collection of books 1-4 if that's not cheating.

Oh, gods... There's no way I can pick a favourite, but if I could it would probably be one of my most read - either Diane Carey's Final Frontier, Judith & Garfield Reeves-Stevens' Prime Directive, Margaret Wander Bonano's Dwellers in the Crucible, TLE: Well of Souls (Ilsa J. Bick), or The Lives of Dax anthology edited by Marco Palmieri.
But then the Vanguard series is absolutely awesome, and I love The Never Ending Sacrifice (Una McCormack), TLE: The Art of the Impossible (Keith R. A. DeCandido), Avatar I & II and Unity (S. D. Perry), and Watching the Clock (Christopher L. Bennett).

Vulcan's Heart
Fun fact: I just read this for the first time last week.
Not only do I love the worldbuilding with the Romulans and the story of Spock and Saavik...it just has two of my favorite characters ever (who happen to both be Romulan): Charvanek, from "The Enterprise Incident", and one of the coolest Romulans ever, Ruanek.
I hope they survived the destruction of Romulus!
I really enjoyed the Saavik and Spock relationship so I was a bit sad so much of the book was them dying or being super-horny.
But the Romulan intrigue was exceptionally well-done and I loved seeing some of Captain Garrett's adventures.
The Star Trek Encyclopedia, though it's long been rendered obsolete by digital resources.
Mission to Horatius.
Just kidding: actually, it's Spock: Messiah.
Still pure bovine scat; the only reason I had S:M (which kind of says it all) hardbound was because it was only the second ST novel written for an adult audience (and it put the "adult" in "adult ST fiction").
Would you believe, The Price/Fate of the Phoenix?
No, of course you wouldn't. They make the intentionally-confusing-for-comic-effect scenes near the end of How Much for Just the Planet seem as simple as direct current, and I don't think they were intended to be confusing, and certainly not for comic effect.
In all seriousness, Spock's World. I've probably read it more than any other single ST novel. Although I've read Diane Carey's Piper books and her Geordie Kirk books quite a few times as well, along with Jean Lorrah's The Vulcan Acadmey Murders.
My love of Spock's World would be easy enough to guess from my reaction to what "Reanock" said.

Over forty years old, and it’s still The Entropy Effect for me.
I read it for the first time a month or two before TWOK came out, and all these years later, they are my favorite Star Trek novel and movie.
It was a golden age.
