Best Romance novels

One of my favorite books of all time finds a spoiled daughter of a plantation owner at whit’s end to save her home and land. Enter Rhett Butler, an equally stubborn and proud rogue and philanderer. Scarlett and Rhett = swoon worthy.

Lily moves to the big city and starts her own business. She’s definitely a go-getter like Scarlet. Enter Ryle a handsome, but stubborn and arrogant (remind you of Rhett?) neurosurgeon. He breaks his no dating rule for her but what in is past lead him to adopt it in the first place? Re-enter Atlas, an old flame. Who will Lily choose?

Louisa Clark is an ordinary small-town girl with a normal life, boyfriend, and close family. Will Traynor led the far from normal life as an extreme athlete and world traveler until a tragic accident leaves him wheelchair bound.

Desperate for a decent paying job, Louisa takes a job as Will’s assistant. He is moody and bossy, but also broken and Louisa finds herself caring for him more than she expected.

Touted as the “quintessential story of love”. I agree.

My bestie says this is the best series ever. She’s read it several times. I’ve resisted for a long while thinking it’s going to be really sad. And now it’s a series on Netflix. This may be my next read.

This will-it-be-tragic love story sounds very much like Me Before You by Jojo Moyes and It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. Perhaps I should say those plots sound very similar to this predecessor. Orphaned Jane takes a position with Edward Rochester only to find herself drawn to the troubled man.

Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy prove that when it comes to love there is no reason in Pride and Prejudice. In Sense and Sensibility Marianne and Elinor navigate love, loss, and society.

This read came up on Goodreads best romance novels list. It’s a vampire love story I had not heard about before (don’t judge). Call me intrigued.

The only purebred vampire left on the planet and the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Wrath has a score to settle with the slayers who killed his parents centuries ago. But when his most trusted fighter is killed — orphaning a half-breed daughter unaware of her heritage or her fate — Wrath must put down his dagger and usher the beautiful female into another world. Racked by a restlessness in her body that wasn’t there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the dangerously sexy man… His tales of the Brotherhood and blood frighten her. Yet his touch ignites a dawning new hunger one that threatens to consume them both…

Who doesn’t love The Princess Bride? This version is a rewrite of the the S. Morgenstern classic. With over 700k+ reviews it has a 4.25 rating on Goodreads. I’m thinking a sure win!

What happens when the most beautiful girl in the world marries the handsomest prince of all time and he turns out to be…well…a lot less than the man of her dreams?
