All Clean Romance Books discussion

My favorite romances are western or regency. There is just something about a handsome cowboy with his country slang, or a rogue gentleman with a proper accent. Polar opposites, but both equally fun to read! What about everyone else? What are your favorite types of romances to read?

I love romances set in Ireland. Whether contemporary or historical, I love reading about life there. There is just something about the way they speak, the cadence and rythmn that appeal to me. I was so sad to hear of Mauve Binchy's passing. My new favorite woman's fiction author is JoJo Moyes.

I completely agree! I was able to visit Ireland last May, and it was everything I dreamed it would be. Absolutely beautiful country and people! Have you read Towers of Brierley by Anita Stansfield? Towers of Brierley It's set in Scotland, but I felt like it had the same feel as Ireland. It's a good, clean romance if you haven't read it before! And I'll have to check out the two authors you mentioned!

I like many different types, but I have the hardest time getting into contemporary romance. I think it's because I enjoy the fantastical element of being drawn into a different world from the one I occupy. But I agree with you guys as well. There is something I find especially intriguing about Ireland, and Scotland as well.

I like historical fiction best. I suppose reading is a form of escapism and when the book is set in a previous era, then this makes it even more so.

I like paranormal romances but have a very hard time finding books that have no sex in it. It's just so overdone, I want to find a paranormal book where an actual relationship blooms and buds with a human and a paranormal but no sex involved.

I'm reading one now with Dragon shifters and wolf shifters and I'm 3/4 of the way the way through the book and there hasn't been any mention of any sex and it's such a nice thing. There's suspense and mystery and action and attraction but that's about it. I'm hoping it keeps this way since it's part of a series and I would like to read the whole series. It's the Zodiac Guardians series.

I enjoy many sub-genres of romance, but especially contemporary and historical westerns.

My dad was career Air Force, so besides a couple years in England, we lived in the Rocky Mountain western US, so that, plus being a child of the 50's with all the TV westerns, cowboys, and also Air Force uniforms make me swoon! :D

I also love books set in the UK and Ireland, and my two favorite romance movies are the Kiera Knightley/ Michael McFadden version of Pride and Prejudice, and The Holiday with Cameron Diaz and Jude Law.

Witty banter between the H/h is a big plus. Love friends to lovers/Romantic comedies.
