I'm taking a bit of a break from my usual Friday Linkups to try something a little different. I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. In honor of Valentine's Day I'm pulling up my Five Favorite Romances. Romance is a genre I haven't read much of in the last couple of years but it is one I used to read a lot from and one I frequently reread from. Here are five of my favorites that I reach for when I'm wanting a reread.
1. The Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas - I'm not usually a fan of the reformed villain but in this book it works. It's one of my absolute favorites and one I can always reread!
2. And Then He Kissed Her by Laura Lee Guhrke - This is set a little later in the historical romance realm and involves a woman who is earning her own living and wants to make her own dreams come true and not settle.
3. Jewels of the Sun by Nora Roberts - This is one of Roberts' Ireland books which involves fairies, siblings, and a woman who is starting over in a completely different environment. Roberts excels at all of these things and this is a great read.
4. Dream Lake by Lisa Kleypas - This is a contemporary romance and one with a ghost. I love a good ghost story and most of all I love the heroine in this book. She's just someone I want to be friends with.
5. Key of Knowledge by Nora Roberts - This is one of Roberts' quest books involving a friend group and a supernatural type quest. In this one the heroine worked in a library and is a huge reader and the hero is an author and also a huge reader.
And now I want to go reread all five of these!
It’s not a genre I read much of either but I have a couple of faves I reach for when the need takes me!
ReplyDeleteFor me always Pride and Prejudice. Old but good.
ReplyDeleteKey of Knowledge sounds really good. I enjoy paranormal mixed with romance. Historical romance is hit and miss with me, but I probably should explore the subgenre more.
ReplyDeleteSo many good reads. I have to admit I've moved now more to women's fiction, although there is often a smidgeon of romance in them. And of course I'm read a few more cozies these days. But I have shelves full of fave romances, mostly contemporary but some historical.
ReplyDeleteI need to check out And Then He Kissed Her by Laura Lee Guhrke it sounds fun and I love my historical romances. :)
ReplyDeleteThe first book was a good series.
