What are some good Romantic Novels?
The library is full of ' Catherine Cookson' novels. Love. romance, suspense. Most are Gothic times : with Lords of Manors, the rich, the poor, maids and servants --- all characters become real to you. You either love them or hate them! Good stuff!
Reply:Gone with the Wind

Wuthering Heights



And The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks may not be the classic you're looking for but trust me, it's a beautiful story. Read it over 3 times now and still enjoy it all the same.

Reply:Bellarion the Fortunate by Rafael Sabatini.Brilliant swordfights,marvelous schemes and beautiful damsels abound in this fascinating tale of a condottiere or mercenary in 15th century Italy.As the story unfolds Bellarion a convent bred orphan youth is on the way to Padua for higher studies. He gets entangled in the affairs of Princess Valeria of Montferrat.And immediately takes up her cause.He acquits himself marvelously in the court intrigues at Montferrat.However the situation proved too hot and he escapes to Milan.In Milan he passes himself off as the son of Facino Cane,the great mercenary captain to escape the clutches of Gian Maria Visconti the bloodthirsty Duke of Milan.The real Facino Cane was amused at Bellarion’s deviousness and adopts him as his son.Under Facino Cane’s tutelage Bellarion emerges as one of the greatest mercenary captains of that age.

Reply:The Oval Office is good. It was written by a guy named Bill Clinton. It has everything that makes a good novel. Sex, interns, stained dresses, cigars, lies, jealous white house aids.
Reply:the notebook!
Reply:Personally, I like everything by Nicholas Sparks. He is a great writer, his books are romantic and leave you thinking " If only someone like that REALLY existed". Plus, his books are romantic, but not smutty. But most of them have sad endings... I recommend A walk to Remember and The Notebook, but all of them are good.
