Lady Danielle, My comment has been updated with books for some of the movies. Some are borrowed from the suggestions list, so I thought I'd post here to let you know (and maybe help others out), since I don't think you'll know if someone updates a comment. I'm kind of sad that I just finished reading Pride and Prejudice! Oh well
Thought of a few....4. On the Island
9. The PropositionThe Proposal (I haven't read them so I am not sure if either or both would work)
19. The Cat's Meow (I just reviewed this and it was really good!)
21. KA's fantasyland series
23. Three Fates (love this book!!!)
27. Jaci Burton has a sport series
Also can we use books for multiple challenges? e.i. use some of the same books in this and the strikethrough challenge if they work?
Also a possible bonus:Some Kind of Wonderful- friends to lovers romance
