Let's Talk Love Stories! discussion

Any books to suggest of this genre?

Romance with a contemporary setting.

I recently read The First Love Cookie Club by Lori Wilde and it was an enjoyable read. I didn't care much for a few of the other ones she has out, but I did enjoy this one.

Thanks Connie! I'll keep this book in mind!

I recommend The Publicist by Christina George - such a fun read (and sexy)!

I am not sure again if this is the right category but I will still go ahead and suggest it here. These are general romance books/series that I believe you should read. One is Robyn Carr and her Virgin River Series. it is truly wonderful. You will definitely like it. It is a series of 20 books but absolute easy reads. She has also started writing another series called the Thunderpoint series, which is again wonderful.

Another is Marie Force and her The McCarthys of Gansett Island series. This again is a wonderful read. Her Fatal and Green Mountain (which is a new one) is also a good read.

Jill Shalvis and her Lucky Harbor series is also a good read.

Bella Andre and her Sullivans series is also good.

One book I really love and is one of my favorite in this genre is Keeping Secrets in Seattle by Brooke Moss. I simply love this book, it's an easy and interesting read.

This looks good:)

It is! It easy to have a connection with the main character, Vi. I totally recommend it

These are some of the light-hearted and witty contemporary romances.

Some more angsty but equally enjoyable contemporary romances.

I'm currently reading Vision in White by Nora Roberts and I'm totally enjoying it!

Yes, I agree! I find him so cute the way he is, who wouldn't want someone like him?

You're most welcome :)

I was wondering, if I could read that book without reading the others two, or I need to read the other two?

Sure, even I haven't read the other books. It can be read as a stand-alone.

Oh okay, thanks, I will look just for that one first

A lovely story in this category is . It has it's flaws but still the author managed to make a sweet and funny story.

I read about 70% of the book. The heroine seemed very childish at times, but the story really is quite funny.

Yes that and a few other things was what bothered me too, but I think that the author had a great idea. It's a shame she didn't managed to do a perfect book.

I agree.

If you're a fan of cool and strong heroines and love good grovelling scenes, then go for .
One of my favourite lines from the book,"Don’t placate me!” she bellowed. “Go find a damsel in distress because I’m not it. I’ll never be that girl. Ever since I was old enough to understand that my mom didn’t care about me I learned to fend for myself and that won’t change so if you want to throw a fit because I won’t come to you with my problems- tough!” You gotta love a heroine like that. You can check my review of it, but it has spoilers so read it after you finish the book.

My favourite contemporary romancea would be the Chicago Stars series by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, The Chinook's Hockey Team by Rachel Gibson, Bella Andre's The Sullivans,some Mills&Boon, P.S.I Love You and Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern.

I've been meaning to read Chinook's Hockey Team series for a while now. And I agree SEP's Chicago stars is also my favourite contemporary romance series.

Okay I'll read it soon then. Thanks!

Thanks! :)

I read My Sunshine by Catherine Anderson. And it was a wonderful book. Highly recommended for those who can't resist a handsome and kindhearted vet, and a disabled but lovely heroine with a golden touch when it comes to animals :)

One New Year's Eve, shy singer, December Brown drunkenly texts her talk show host pal, Trace Randall, about her long time crush on the aloof actor, Tom Elmswood. Thinking the two celebrities would make a cute couple, he unwisely decides to play matchmaker... in front of a live studio audience.

Things start to go downhill when Tom admits he's never even heard of December before. Now what seemed like a sure fire hit quickly becomes a flop. Will these two lonely hearts ever make a love connection or has this cupid's arrow missed its mark?

Just started Rose Harbor in Bloom, by Debbie Macomber.Rose Harbor in Bloom. Too soon to tell if I'm going to like it or not.

Umm, I can only recommend my debut novel as a good contemporary romance. .

My debut novel, Undying Affinity is OUT on Amazon stores. You can order your copy now. :)

This was the perfect romance book to read this month. It was sweet, funny, lovely and anyone can read it in a matter of hours. I really recommend it if you are looking for something short, a fast read and with a cute love story.

I really had a fun time reading this book

I just bought a book A new- the archers of avalon by Chelsea Fine. I will let you know how the book is.

There's a paranormal twist in the book, it was otherwise the typical Crusie book.

My first time reading Colleen Hoover, and even though I appreciated the writing and the characters the inta-attraction, at least on the heroine's part was sorely disappointing.

Some good books that I read this year:
