Romance Lovers for the Challenge-Impaired discussion

Gothrom. net says "the necessary elements of a true gothic romance--heroine in peril, isolated setting, hero of questionable motives."

I thought gothic romance had to involve a castle, ot a ghost or something, but I'm not sure. Does anyone know of any contemporary gothic romance novels?

I'll bet it's been close to 40 years since I've read a gothic. I remember reading Mistress of Mellyn back in the day and enjoying it. I'd be interested in checking out some contemporary gothics.

I'm not sure if this one is considered a gothic or not, but I came across Windwalker by Natasha Mostert at the used bookstore. I haven't read it yet, but I think it fits the definition that I found.

My fav: Silver Wood by Deirdre Rowan

There's also A Very Gothic Christmas by Christine Feehan and Melanie George. I've only read the story After the Music by Christine Feehan which I thought was pretty good.

I loved reading Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney back in my teen years.

Thanks for reviving this thread Pamela! I'll have to look for some Victoria Holt novels the next time I buy books.
