Top 16 favorite romance fiction novels

2009-10-16T14:30:30Z

(Without doubling up on authors which is very hard not to do!)

In order of when I remember them;

1. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (though not technically shelved as a romance, it totally is)

2. A Scotsman in Love by Karen Ranney (I cried though most of it, enough said)

3. A Witch's Beauty by Joey W Hill (unconventional and oh so wonderful)

4. The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt (an erotic Jane Eyre )

5. Kiss an Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips (adorable animals plus hot romance)

6. Son of the Morning by Linda Howard (compulsively readable and sexy)

7. Start Me Up by Victoria Dahl (friends to more than friends story of a short girl and a hot nerd, what's not to like?)

8. The Devil You Know by Liz Carlyle (Bentley is one of the best tortured rakes ever)

9. Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas ( I had to choose ONE of her works though I love them all!)

10. Mind Game by Christine Feehan (rare Asian hero and heroine in a well written and steamy romance)

11. Thunder and Roses by Mary Jo Putney (just plain wonderful)

12. The Viscount Who Loved Me by Julia Quinn (a rake falls for the 'wrong' sister for all the right reasons)

13. Never Seduce a Scoundrel by Sabrina Jeffries( laugh out loud funny and very sexy!)

14. The Perfect Rake by Anne Gracie (funniest dialogue between hero and heroine I've ever come across)

15. Passion by Lisa Valdez (combines emotional depth with sizzling pages)

16. Lover Revealed by JR Ward (when the human became my favorite Brother)

Megan Hart Contest :)

Here's a blurb:
Jack Travis leads the uncomplicated life of a millionaire Texas playboy. He makes no commitments, he loves many women, he lives for pleasure. But no one has ever truly touched his heart or soul. Until one day, a woman appears on his doorstep with fury on her face and a baby in her arms. It seems Jack is the father and this woman is the baby’s aunt...

Go ahead and spread the awesomeness yourselves!

Which Goddess lurks in your soul?

Which Goddess lurks in your soul?

Athena

You are a wise one, my dear! Athena is the Greek Goddess of wisdom, disciplined war, philosophy and knowledge. She is a selective Goddess, as she only inhabits those of your high intelligence and keenness to learn great things. You’re usually not seen without a book in your hand or your eyes glued to the internet (which is, after all, the great information highway!). This should not suggest that you don’t enjoy people, as your cleverness and sharp wit are usually in full force when in a social situation, to everyone’s delight.
