For readers who love romance without sex scenes,pervasive profanity,and free of religious proselytizing.

As the books by Sophie Kinsella are NOT clean reads, they are being removed!

Please PM me if you know of any others here that are not clean, or are Inspirational/Christian so I may have them removed, since I wish for this list to be a useful source for "Clean" and "Non-Religious" reads. Thank you! :D

Absolutely do NOT add any book'lets' of less than 150 pages, as they will be reported as SPAM and deleted! Novella Collections and Anthologies are fine, but I will not allow single short stories to be passed off as "books"!

 Julie Absence of Grace, I loved this book and Ann Warnerhas some others that are really nice,clean love stories, Doubtful, Dreams for StonesCounterpointe.

C. Thank you for those suggestions/additions Julie. :]

message 6: by Danine (new)

Danine Georgette Heyer's English Regency novels are coming back in print. Like Jane Austen, there is much social comedy as well. Heyer was a great researcher and has lots of detail in her descriptions. Did not spot any of hers on this list but think readers would enjoy them.


message 7: by Heidi (new)

Heidi Georgette is the mother of the regency romance genre--her book are a must.


message 8: by C. (last edited Mar 07, 2016 06:36AM) (new)

C. I personally haven't added any books by Georgette Heyer because after trying to read 7 different titles by her,I gave up. Her writing just does not appeal to me in any way,and I am totally unable to get engaged by her books.I just find them excruciatingly boring.

However, others are free to add them. :]


message 9: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre are the only books that belong on this list. Free of explicit content, yet still compelling. What is the rest of this anyway?

Must strongly disagree....there are many, many other clean romances besides just the two you mentioned!

I'm a little confused by your comment, I've read a lot of the books on this list and they're all clean reads.


message 12: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth Meadows I noticed that Trinity Falls by Regina Hart is on this list. I was surprised because, as I recall, there was quite a bit of sexual content in it. The cover might lead you to believe otherwise though. I went back and checked my review just to confirm.


message 13: by Joy (new)

Joy Madeleine Brent wrote some great sweet, historical romance/adventures in the 1970s. They follow the "secret identity" trope, and take place partly in England and partly in an exotic locale (Afghanistan, Tibet, Australia, China, Italy...). Those would make great additions to this list, as would Victoria Holt's books.


message 14: by Debora (new)

Debora Davis Jo Goodman's The Last Renegade was very good and clean. American historical romance.
Not sure I would include Hunger Games as romance.


message 15: by Christine (new)

Christine Piece by Piece on this list is explicitly religious.


message 16: by Colleen (new)

Colleen I have a question about this list. When it comes to series, is it based on the individual book or the whole series? Meaning, if one book in the series has sex then is the whole series barred or just that one book?
