Falling in Love with Romance… Again

I recently read Tracy Anne Warren’s SEDUCED BY HIS TOUCH. It was
good, with heartbreak and romance, misunderstandings and sweetness –
not to mention some hot sex. This book is the second in her Byrons of
Braebourne series and I enjoyed it nearly as much as I enjoyed the
first one, TEMPTED BY HIS KISS.

I am about to read Julie Anne Long’s SINCE THE SURRENDER. Knowing I
had read something of hers before, I went back to check. LIKE NO
OTHER LOVER was the one I was thinking of and I think I wrote about it
in the blog. It reminded me of all the good things about falling in
love.

I read so much romance that sometimes I think I get immune to its
charms. Ms. Warren’s recent book reminded me how much I enjoy this
genre. Romances, even the darker ones, are about finding love, and
really, what can be better than being loved? My great-grandmother
still loves her romances and she hasn’t been married or in love in
many a decade. But reading these reminds her of what it’s like,
something she wants to hold on to.

I had been getting bored with my reading, anxious to move on to other
genres. But as I continue with my pile of romances to read, I realize
that the fault was not with the books I was reading, but was with me.
With a romance you often get it all – action, the full spectrum of
emotions, and that grand gesture every woman yearns for from her mate.
Getting a reminder as to why I read these books, when I could be
reading something else, is priceless and gets me ready to tackle my
TBR pile with enthusiasm.

Coming up, I have a wide range of romances to read and I plan to share
the very best of them with you.

What books are your favorite romances? What makes you remember why
you read romance? Tell us in the comments!
