Which romance books are your tried and true favorites?

In other words, you've read them more than once and look to them for a good comfort read.

Karen Marie Moning Highlander's reassure me that all is right with the world...

Most of my comfort reads are historicals...

and any of Julie Garwood's historicals :)

So how many times have you guys read your comfort books?

Do you try to squeeze them in yearly or in a book slump?

I don't have comfort books. I have more of what I'd call comfort authors, i.e., they have series. I am comfortable with the characters.

I understand what you mean. I don't get a lot of time for rereads, so I go to my tried and true authors when I need to hear their familiar voices.

Okay I'm so late for this party, but here goes. I reread , quite a few times.

Quite a few actually.



...and anything (or should I say every) by Sherrilyn Kenyon or Kristen Ashley

I have enjoyed re-reading most of Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series. One of the first historicals I ever read was Laura London's (Tom and Sharon Curtis) now classic "The Windflower." I have multiple copies of the paperback and recently purchased and listened to the audio version. The historical genre is my personal favorite, but I like suspense and paranormal, too. I could probably list over 100 books I've liked well enough to re-read on a regular basis!

I have no books I've re-read in the past 5 years. There's a lot of books I want to read.

Love this question!! If someone reads something over and over, then it usually means it's pretty good, and I might need to add it to my TBR list. I have "The Windflower" on my TBR list, but forgot that it was there, so I'm going to have to bump it up!
Here are a few of my favorites that I have reread over and over.

Tack......<3
The first time I read it, I stayed up until 5 in the morning to finish it, jumped in the shower and went to work. So good!
Luke and Ava. Well mostly Luke. :))
I read this for the first time when I was 14. (My mom was not happy when she found out) I found it in a box of books in our basement. I read it, then immediately flipped it to the front and read it again. I've read it so many times it's held together with a rubber band.
The first 3 of the Mallory series from Johanna Lindsey. and Those Mallory brothers.......sigh.
I am not a huge paranormal fan, but I've heard so many things about Kresley Cole's series, I may have to try it!! Thanks for sharing!!

Karen, you reminded me that I read so many Johanna Lindsey books and loved them, too! My older sister shared her books with me, and my Mom was quite stunned to discover I was reading such racy novels, LOL. But I've ended up with a lifelong love of romance novels, particularly historicals as a result. The thing I love about Kresley Coles IAD series is the humor in them...some of the dialog is just laugh-out-loud funny and the characters are always well written and the heroes sexy as all get out!

Oh man, now I realize that I haven't gotten my comfort book back after loaning it out...can't remember WHO to!...and I can't remember its name or author!!!! Aargh. Gotta look back to see if I logged it in GR's...

!!!

I reread Julie Garwood, Lisa Kleypas, Kristen Ashley, Pamela Clare, Linda Howard, Elizabeth Hoyt, Jill Shalvis Karen Marie Moning, Julie James, Julia Quinn to name a few.

I don't have a specific favorite that I'd like to re-read because there are so many I still want to read! However if I can throw a recommendation it would be The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie which I've read twice in past years and Persuasion by Jane Austin which I read twice as well when I was much younger ;-)

I've read The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie and thought it was a terrific book!

A Hunger Like No Other is still one of my favorite books and I have reread it multiple times.

Dark Prince & Dark Fire - Christine Feehan
Night Pleasures, Night Play & Seize the Night - Sherrilyn Kenyon
Twilight - Stephanie Meyer
Outlander- Diana Gabaldon
These old shades & Devil's cub - Georgette Heyer
So speaks the heart - Johanna Lindsey


I re-read a lot of Sherrilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, Georgette Heyer and Johanna Lindsey.

Claiming the Courtesan
This is my read - re- read book and anything else by Anna Campbell

Great list!

Thanks Danielle!

I re-read Johanna Lindsey's Man of My Dreams, Prisoner of My Desire. All of Julie Garwood's Historical except Shadow Music (the bad one). Also 2 books from IAD, Demon from the Dark and Kiss of a Demon King. Jayne Ann Krentz' Family Man, Golden Chance, Wildest Hearts, Trust Me

I keep rereading the GhostWalker books by Christine Feehan. Comfort reads.

These are currently on my re-read list Suddenly You, Raphael, Dragon Bound, and Angels' Blood to name a few.

I'd forgotten Virginia Henley. Loved her books and it's been a while.

This is one of my favorites! Kresley Cole sold me on the entire series with that book <3

I have read several books over again because they are so good.
Here are some: - and

I have a number of comfort reads. In the past, when something terrible happened I would curl up in bed with a Georgette Heyer. Nowadays I tend to back to Sunshine by Robin McKinley and Mine TIL Midnight by l
Lisa Kleypas. They just provide a plans I want to go back to, over and over.

I love to reread the GhostWalkers series. I just finished a reread and I'm restraining myself from starting over again. :)

I definitely could do a reread of the Hathaways. :)
