ROMANCE
Books falling in the "romance" classification are one of our favorites. Why? The guys are generally rather cute and there's usually a happy ending. Often, villains get what they deserve, too.
Interested in indulging in a happy-ending/cute-guy/bad-guy-gets-punished read? Then check out some of the books that we recently reviewed and think might be a good match for you.
Five  's denotes our most favorite books...but our list only includes selections we'd recommend to our best buddies. |
Erotic Deception by Karen Cote
Dr. Lily Delaney has a bad guy for an ex-fiancé...and when she runs, she literally runs right into Sheriff Jet Walker. The novel has a steamy cover -- as well as some great steamy scenes! A great choice for romance readers who love some extra adventure in their romance reading!

Baer Truth by Linda McMaken
Blond-haired Abby can sing and cook...and has lots of experience getting into trouble... just like our friend Goldilocks. Joe Baer isn't sure what to make of the woman who slept in (and messed up) his barn. But he's determined to not get his heart broken again -- despite the fact Abby is more yummy than a bowl of porridge. A colorful cast of characters --and a calf named Frosty -- round out this selection and make Baer Truth a great read for those who enjoy a delicious city girl/cowboy story.
