All Clean Romance Books discussion

Hello and welcome to the All Clean Romance Group! Tell us a little about yourself and why you love to read clean romances!

My name is Deborah, and I'm completely obsessed with clean romance! I don't think there is anything worse than having to put down a book halfway through because it compromises certain values of mine. So that's why I wanted to create a group dedicated completely to clean romance so we can all receive recommendations for great novels out there!

I'm in my final year of college, going to Utah State University, and I'm majoring in English, Creative Writing. I've been married to my husband, Christian, for 18 months now, and we're loving life! Christian is from England, so we were able to go to the UK in May. It has been a lifelong dream of mine FOREVER,so it was incredible!

I've written and published my first novel, A Secret Fire, a clean romance,in May too, so my life is moving along just fine!

Anyway, feel free to introduce yourself! I look forward to getting to know you all!

Hi my name is Sammy. I have 2 cats and a dog. I live in the U.s. One of my favorite things to do is read a good book in a beatiful Garden.

Welcome, Sammy! Thanks for the intro! We hope you find some good books here, and feel free to add any clean romances you want to the bookshelf!

I'm Kate Fellowes and I write sweet romantic suspense. Some people say that's "old-fashioned", as if that's a bad thing! My favorite authors, Mary Stewart, Phyllis Whitney and Barbara Michaels, all wrote mysteries with a bit of romance and I think there is still a place in this world for just that sort of thing.

Welcome, Kate! Thanks for joining the group and sharing your favorite authors with us! I don't think 'old-fashioned' is a bad thing either. That's the best kind! Be sure to add your favorite clean romances to the bookshelf!

Hi, I'm Chris, and I prefer ALL the books I read to be clean. When I was in my twenties I tried reading some of the "Raunchy" romance, but I just found them to be a total turn-off, and mostly ridiculously unbelievable. Plus I do not appreciate "purple prose" or pervasive vulgarity/profanity.

As an ex-Christian I also prefer books without the god-talk and religious proselytizing ,though I can tolerate some in the Amish-themed books, because that is their culture, and I live near the largest Amish community and I find their culture fascinating, though the Mennonites are much more appealing.

Hello,

I am an author of military thrillers and scifi, but my first novel gathered so much interest from romance readers that I decided to pull that thread with a romantic subplot in my second novel. I'll be seeking advice from the group on the third - trying to keep a foot in both the thriller and sweet romance camps is a heck of a challenge!

Regards,
Ed

Hi All - So excited to find this group! During the craziness of the past year and a half, while others were making sourdough starter and Marie Kondo'ing their houses, I wrote I published my first novel, Redirection: A Catalina Bison Ice Hockey Romance. The story is a sweet and wholesome contemporary sports romance featuring new adult characters. It is light-hearted and a perfect escape from the daily news cycle.

On a personal front, I live in Southern California and have a teenage son who plays ice hockey.
