I have been reading romance novels for the past few years and what makes me hooked up about romance novels is the way the storyline is presented in the book.
Possession by A.S.Byatt is not romance. She write great literature.
I love romance novels!!! They gave me my sex drive back. Seriously. Sarah Mclean, Lisa Kleypas, Kerrigan Byrne – all faves
I agree with Erin’s comment regarding the prejudice against romance and the work that is being done in the genre. I also love Sarah Maclean’s books. The podcast FATED MATES that is hosted by Sarah Maclean and Jen Prokop is not to be missed by romance fans! They dig into the importance of romance as a genre and their rapport is intelligent and amusing.
the novels by Victoria Holt, excellent reading, I learned english from her books!
The Idea of You by Robinne Lee is hands down the best romance ever! It is so very well written; you will not want it to end
It’s funny/frightening to me how much I am resisting the fact that I actually enjoy, what I’ve learned here, are Regency style romance novels. I mean, I am cringing at myself. But thanks for all the rec’s.
Me too! I still love them. :-) I’ve branched out into Regency mysteries.
Riye, can you recommend any regency mysteries? I’m so curious and I feel like I’m running out of regency romances.
The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker is my number one romance read!
I just finished it today and absolutely loved it. Thanks for the recommendation.
Definitely recommend The Wallbanger series by Alice Clayton. Just the right amount of aww and ooh!
I have been a huge fan of the Romance Novel since I was in high school. I use to hide my love, then I would call it my “guilty pleasure”. As most, I have no fucks left to give about what people think about my reading habits. Plus I am 49 years old… and do not care AT ALL if there is distain. I love them and they have provided me so much joy over my life. I really only read Regency and I do have authors that I love the most. I would say my fav of all time is the Bridgerton series by Julia Quinn. Interesting, this has been made into a show on Netflix, so I must not be the only one. I also LOVE the book Slightly Dangerous. (the entire series is great. It is book 6 in the Bedwyn series by Mary Balogh). But the book is an old friend, a lovely story, a great escape. All that I am looking for in a book on cold night during a pandemic.
Lucy Score!
So good! I thoroughly recommend The Rules of Backyard Croquet by Sunni Overend. My husband actually thought the book was about the rules of backyard croquet, ha! The Danger of Truffle Hunting by the same author is also a great read.
Loving all books from Sarah Morgan <3
Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner! Sooooo good! Slow burn
Like many of you, I’ve also revisited the romance genre during quarantine. My favorites are all of the Christina Lauren books. There are a lot of stand-alone titles, and I’m almost finished with their racier Beautiful series. Loved The Idea of You and Beach Read. I’d recommend the Helen Hoang books and the Heather Cocks/Jessica Morgan books too.
