I think I have a problem

I can’t find it any where its
Like I’m searching through
The dark I was beginning to panic
Wondering what to do then I
Remember my heart belong to you!!!

I love you

My room walls are empty and want to decorate them with my and my girlfriends love letters.

That is soo adorable! If you want to preserve them then arrange them on any surface top and place over them a correctly sized sheet of glass or plexiglass to hold in place [i just suggested this to another person].

But what is much more unique is gluing them all together, as many as there are, and then cut in the shape of a heart and take up a huge section of wall, somewhere where theres nothing on the wall to take away from it. And then you will also have the outline of a heart with a square border which you can connect where you’ve cut and put that up instead, or in anouther room. You can also do this idea without the cutting of hearts, just hang a big square up on a totally blank wall, but thats just not as fun!

i know there might be other love poems, but based on shakespear, what so great abou the poem sonnet 18?

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature’s changing course untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Its eternal love for a withering beauty against all obstacles of Nature(e.g. Death, time etc.) since you believe that shs’s more beautiful than Nature(e.g. summer)

I really like them (especially the regency stuff) but am a bit ashamed to talk about them to my friends as they think they are unintelligent. I’ve also noticed a lot of other people feel the same the way.

Why is that? Aren’t they as ’smart’ as other fiction books?

You have basically two categories of romance novels: the soppy and over-emotional and formulaic and the well-written, well-researched, good stories.

Though people don’t usually recognize the fact, all genres include the poorly written and the well-written. It just depends on which books you choose.

I think the reputation romance books have gotten is more because of the glut of them that have been written in the last twenty or so years and the fact that they can be good escape reads, usually for women (earned or unearned). The bad ones usually have little plot and a lot of sex…in historical romances it would be the so-called "bodice-ripping" stories of unrestrained passion.

If you want really smart Regencies, read any of Georgette Heyer’s books set in that period. They are truly good stories, with well-rounded characters and a lot of period details.

Just as an adult who reads young adult novels shouldn’t be ashamed, someone who likes romance novels shouldn’t be ashamed. If you enjoy them, you enjoy them. No apologies necessary.

BTW: there are a lot of fiction novels of various genres that could be called mindless reads. They don’t all have to be classics or profound to be enjoyable.

I’m just beginning to read romantic novels. To be honest, the steamier the better. So far I have read some Carly Phillips ones, as well as a Susan Andersen one. Any other authors that are both easy to find at your average store and really good (aka hot)? Also, it has to be modern/current, I’m not really into the knights or cowboys of the Wild West etc. Let me know, thanks!

PS Specific books (if they are really easy to find right now) are fine to mention too.

Well if you like the style of Susan Andersen’s writing then you’d really like Jennifer Crusie. Her female characters are sarcastic and witty. Her heroines normally have a really strong group of female friends where they play the role of the ‘practical one.’ So usually the story is about the herione’s encounter with a dashing male that makes her feel very UNpractical.

My favourite Jennifer Crusie novel is called "Bet Me." It’s about Minerva, a grumpy, starving actuary, and Cal, a very charming… well he’s a lot of things. Anyways, this is one of my favourite romance novels.

But some other Jennifer Crusie novels I would recommend are: "Faking It" and "Fast Women."

I also like Lori Foster. She’s an interesting romance novelist because she probably does a better job of writing her male characters. Foster is able to write the earthy sexuality of a man in a way that is normally not conveyed in most romance novels. She has a couple of books about a very dominant (especially in the bedroom), manly character who try to find the balance between protecting ‘his woman’ :p and being nurtured by her. But if this kind of dominance struggle is your thing then you might want to check out the "Wildly Winston" anthology. It’s 4 short stories, and each story focused on a different Winston brother meeting his match.

As far as sex goes, Lori Foster’s "Too Much Temptation" is pretty hot. It’s basically about this guy Noah who ends his engagement because he finds his prissy fiancee with another man. After ending the relationship he really just wants to let loose and get laid. And the first woman he runs into is Grace, his grandmother’s shy assistant.

I’m including both Jennifer Crusie’s and Lori Foster’s websites where you can actually read samples from the books I mentioned to see if you’ll like them. Enjoy!

Do you know any good romantic novels about forbidden love that’s easy to understand, other than Romeo and Juliet?

"I Capture the Castle" by Dodie Smith.

Part of the novel is about a teenage girl’s crush on her sister’s fiance.
