Let's Talk Love Stories! discussion

Romantic novels with simple stories about romantic relationships between men and women.

Some of my well-liked reads:

I don't like these books at all...

Hehe I don't like most of them, but some are actually good :)

I always felt (and still feel) that the stories are the same...just the name keeps on changing...:|

Yes, the stories really do follow a similar pattern.

Recently read by Lynne Graham. A recommended read for those who like second chance romances and a faithful hero.

These days Harlequin/Mills and Boon owns so much of the market, you'd be surprised. I'm not a fan of the Billionaire/Sheikh/Tycooon books, but a lot of very popular authors write for them and you wouldn't even know.

There're a lot of negative stereotypes attached to the brand, but they're very different now from even five years ago.

Some big Harlequin authors include Gena Showalter , Robyn Carr , Julia London , Susan Mallery ...

And some of the best historical romances I've ever read have been Harlequin books - much better and more imaginative than the books being put out by big publishers like Avon and Zebra.

I know a lot of the books follow a formula, but there are some great authors around these days, like Sarah Mayberry and newcomer Stefanie London .

Thank you Ipshita for starting a conversation about these books. I don't like the modern ones much but the old ones are gems.

I like the Historical Romances under Harlequin. They satisfy my hunger for romances after every book from a different genre. :P

I hate the new ones though! :|

Omg I love these books...have so many downloaded on kindle...they're fun to read...I guess each to his own...:)

Some of the Harlequin books that I have read in the recent months are

My all time favorite : Nora Roberts : All her old books esp. Macgregor Series
My favorite : Kristan Higgins :
Susan Wiggs :
Australian contemporary : Sarah Mayberry :
Debbie Macomber :
Contemporary : Susan Mallery :
With Children : Karen Templeton :
Medical : Robin Gianna :
Contemporary with some spice : Victoria Dahl :

These books are worth a try. I haven't read any historical romances of Harlequin. But will give it a try in future
