    I'm more of a thriller/horror novel reader, but my friend persuaded me to read 'the host' by Stephanie Myer and I loved it. If you haven't read it its worth a go :smile:

    @silver_starI already read Persuasion. I liked it a lot. Isn't there a show called North and South. I remember seeing it on Netfix.

    if you like more erotic romance (very explicit) but romantic at the same time, then try anything by Bertrice Small....I love history and she has a family saga of sorts set in the 1500's in England when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne......the first book in the series is called "Skye O'Malley"....she is the main character and ends up being the matriarch of the family through all the subsequent novels....they will list in the front of the book which ones are in the series and which order to read them and she also wrote others that aren't part of the saga....still just as good....and she is quite accurate with her historical research too which makes nice reading....knowing that she isn't just making it all up....happy reading!!!:)

    Jane Eyre seconded, from the morality perspective about the situation and unrequited/actual love POV. It's also a brilliant book in other ways.

    I'll admit I'm not a big romance novel reader - nothing is standing out to me massively at the moment. It's not specifically a romantic novel, but I really enjoyed the first two parts of Girlfriend in a Coma by Douglas Copeland. The last bit was rushed, but I still liked the book.

    A girl that I work with is a romance author and has a couple books published. They are pretty good - light, fun reading. Her name is Nell Carson and her latest is "the Gingerbread House." Her first novel is "Tell All." Both are very inexpensive Kindle downloads on Amazon right now if you read from a Kindle.

    Walking Disaster - it's from Travis' point of view

    It's called Walking Disaster. It's not really a second book though, it's pretty much the same but it's written in the POV of Travis.

    Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series is AMAZING. I lose so many hours sleep because I cant close them!!! I turned a coworker onto them too. They are historical fiction/romance/fantasy. One of my favorite series hands down! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend :)

    So it's the same book/ story but just from Travis' point of view? So still the same ending as the first book?
