Maria wrote: "Is this really necessary? Why not devote a week to something other than "steamy romance" books. Some of us on here are only 12 and don't read romance, much less ones that are innapropriate. How about maybe just "love week" about general love- it can be motherly love, romantic love, whatever."I agree that some books on the list are not appropriate for minors and "love week" would be ideal. But if I may, based on your suggestion I found in the list below some books that may suit and can be read this week.

love reading romance where alpha male claim his love like fifty shade darker, this man, everything for her, ugly love.
I have just finished Lady of the Eternal City by Julia Quinn. fantastic and completely satisfying in this final book of four...
CinderScarletCressWinter These are the books (click left) I loved the the Lunar Chronicles series by Merissa Meyer. If you like romance in different perspectives with a tinge of fantasy and fairy tale you will love it!

I'm currently reading Me before you and I like it ❤
For the 5th time (yes, they are REALLY that good): Mystery Man by Kristen Ashley and Katharine Ashe's: My Lady, My Lord. Both are "must read in one sitting" books.
I'd read CS Pascat now, good one. I'm reading Eloisa James only because I saw her on Sunday Morning show.
Liza in the library wrote: "I'm currently reading Fifty shades darker"Me too Liza. :0)
I just read Undeniable by Madeline Sheehan......seriously need some way to rate these books in order of sweet to hot tamale. This was a seriously dark and twisted tale. The way the men talked to women and thought about women was absolutely disgusting. It was listed in the top 100 books so I thought I would give it a try. Oh well. It was an experience.
My romantic picks are The Abundance in Katherines and Eleanor and Park.

it a BEAUTIFUL story of imagery, PLUS a sweet love story all in one.My favorite."
One of my top favorite books of ALL Time!!!! sooo beautifully written, I cannot wait until she writes another book!!!!! (if she ever does) !!!!
Just read P.S. I Love You and hated it, reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Jackson to compensate.
