Happily Ever After Cafe discussion

Just finished Jill Shalvis and wanting some more adoption themed romances.

Suggestions?

I have a list going.. Romance Novels that deal with issues of adoption in powerful ways from giving up a child, to adopting a child, to being the adopted one.https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...

Copying my suggestions over from the Contemporary Romance group:

(Ignore the cheesy packaging!)

And this series:

Other non-contemporary romances I have shelved with this theme include:

Annie and Will: A Novel of Love, Betrayal, and Coming of Age in the Sixties

Here's a perfect adoption-themed romance.

Will comes to the Gunderson’s as a ten-year-old orphan with a broken heart and a sizeable trust fund. His adoptive mother, Beth, tends to his emotional wounds while her husband, Reverend Gunderson, has less sympathetic motives. Eight-year-old Annie is delighted to have a big brother, but as the years pass, she and Will find their feelings for each other evolving. The prim Reverend, horrified by the “inappropriateness” of the relationship, takes advantage of circumstances and attempts to wrest Will away from both Annie and his inheritance. But is love strong enough to overcome secrets and selfishness?

Annie and Will leads you through the turbulent times of the Sixties through the eyes of an adoring girl and her adopted brother. A story of both triumph and pain, you will witness the blossoming relationship of two young people who are brought together by a mother’s death and then torn apart by jealousy, hatred, and greed.

Discussion questions are included.

I don't know if you're interested, but I just finished a cozy-mystery with this theme:
Pick Your Poison, by Leann Sweeney. A little bit of romance in it.

Fun. I don't read much mystery but always nice to know about good books.
