Sorry if this seems really random and strange, but have you noticed that all the novels with romantic storylines/men are written by women-classics and moderns. I wondered if anyone could tell me of one that is written by a man because if there aren’t any it would meant that they are just women’s fantasies. Sorry if this sounds like I’m trying to stereotype, I’m not, just curious!(and a hopeless romantic!)

Romance is a woman’s genre, which means that most readers of it are going to be women. Sci-fi, for instance is a male dominated genre and most of it’s readers are men. I’ve come across books that have male names on the cover, but I never paid much attention to them so I can’t give you the names. But, I’m also skeptical of the names on the covers of books. Many authors use pen names, and when you think a book is being written by a man it’s actually a woman. And, I’ve had my suspicions about at least one romance book that had a man’s name on the cover and I have this nagging feeling that it’s really a woman. Those things you never know unless you see a picture of the author or see him/her in person.

But, it makes sense that women authors dominate the romance genre, because most romance is read by women. As a woman I feel that other women know what I like to read when it comes to romance compared to men. But, that’s just me! So, to combat this kind of thinking from people like me there might be a male romance author who goes under a woman’s pen name. Just something to think about. Women do it with male dominated genre’s like Sci-fi, where they use a male-oriented pen name instead of their own.

Ive been really curious to read a lame romantic novel lately. They dont have to long or short, i dont care.

Any good ones you could recommend?

Any romance by Nora Roberts, Johanna Lindsey, Rosemary Rogers, Cassie Edwards, or Judith Mcnaught. They are all really mushy and have some hot scenes in them as well.

I am looking for an intense intimate novel.

One that is based on the time period of the 21st century and one that is as real as possible..a man and woman love story. Nothing western or in the days of kings and queens…or nothing like pochahontas.

Similar to the books of author Nora Roberts, but it doesn’t have to be her books…unless you know of a good one…please any opinions would be enjoyed…don’t be shy if you name something to erotic…haha

Please help me. Even if you know a good website that gives you lists

Here’s a few you might want to consider:

Fern Michaels – Up Close & Personal
Fern Michaels – Fool Me Once
Susan Wiggs – Dockside
Christina Skye – Code Name: Bikini
Linda Miller – Sun, Sand, Sex
Lucy Monroe – Satisfaction Guaranteed
Lisa Rice – Dangerous Lover
Christina Dodd – Tongue In Chic

Check the paperback section at your local library. Many like ours has a huge selection of Harlequin romances. They’re quick, easy and titilating.

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.
