I'm reading 'Managed (VIP #2)' by Kristen Callihan.
Good choice! It's amazing I can't wait for the next books to come out
guys please read Katy Evans Manwhore,Manwhore +1...the whole set....its beautiful...P.S Don't judge a book by its cover....they are not just about sex...
although they are good too....
Currently reading "The Notebook" by Nicholas Sparks.
Jay McLean for YA/Contemporary. The handful I've read and enjoyed took place in late high school to early college. R.S. Grey for YA 18+ ,steamy scenes are more detailed.
the dark-hunter series and pys-changeling series are pretty good.
The Coincidence Series by Jessica Sorensen. Amazing
I am currently reading Football Sundae by Daryl Banner (so funny. So sassy!) and Dragonfly In Amber by Diana Gabaldon, which is epic.
I'm reading "The spiral bliss" series by Nina Lane <3
Gone with the Wind is always a good place to start!<3
Well, I can't think of any deeply beloved romance novels (not a big fan of love stories). However, I do enjoy the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. Suuuure one dies and the other comes close to getting her back, only to lose her buuuuut....it's still pretty cool. Tragic romances are the only kind I like.
“’Til death do us part” was the only lie in our wedding vows.--Lynne Parker
I'm always reading romance, don't need Valentine's for that!Currently reading the MxM love story "St. Nacho's" by Z.A. Maxfield, real good so far!

I'm re-reading Twenty-Four Hours of Freedom by me partly for QC purposes (just came out), partly, because I just get "the feels" every time I read it :) I'm also reading One with You by Sylvia Day.

I read Kristen Proby's With Me in Seattle (https://www.goodreads.com/series/8912...) series. LOVED it!
Bah ha ha! Jacqueline Carey's 14 word love story is awesome!
I just finished The Virgin Intern by Penny Wylder and loved it. Smutty Romance at its best!
Crown of Lies by Pepper winters Crown of Lies My Romace writer hero, with a twist. Finding True Love is hard when you live a sheltered Life and your father is too over protective... you look for Adventure in the wrong places.
Unfortunately, I cannot do Pepper any justice. The book is fantastic. It draws you in from the start. Totally unaware where the story will lead. It has a bit of everything you want in a book; mystery, intrigue, great in depth characters, multiple options for the the story to lead. The book holds your attention, actually provides rushes of adrenaline while you are reading it.
You feel like you are a part of the. Book. You can truly lose yourself in this book.
Now, lets get to the good part, the romace, the push and pull of the forbidden. The temptation of going after your desires and throwing consequences to the wind. All for love.... or is it just lust?
Let's just say, I read this in one night. I could not put the book down and I am really mad I have to wait for more from Pepper Winters. She is fantastic with her words, her characters and story telling. I have read everything she has written and yet to be disappointed.
My romance hero.... with a twist.
