What are some great teen romance novels from the guy’s perspective?

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I know a lot of teen romance novels, but most of them are from the girl’s perspective. Any recommendations? Please do not say the Twilight Saga.

Also, I posted this question again to get more answers. I hope that’s okay :)
Thanks to all who answered in my previous post of the same question.

How big is romance important in a relationship that is going on 5 years.?

Saturday, January 16th, 2010

We are both busy and there is little to no time for romance between us going to school, working and our daughter. So I, as the man is being pressured to come up with ways to keep this interesting and everyone interested. Neither of us has any time to cheat but i do not want it to come to that.

Relationships take two people both working together or they never work no matter how hard you try. Romance is very important but understanding, affection, patience and a whole hell of a lot of luv from both of you is whats gonna keep it together. It will all be worth it when schools over and life slows down a bit (if that really happens) I know from experience that its hard but if you love each other and are working for the same things together youll make it fine but make time for each other or you will grow apart even if it s thirty min. or lunch out or taking a shower together take that time wherever you can get it so important working on ten years myself

Any recommendations for really good romance novels?

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

I am having a hard time looking for romance books that are really good in writing and have a lot of romance, can anyone recommend any good ones that they have read or heard of?

Thanks!

I recommend the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. They are very romantic and suspenseful. You can really relate to the main character, Bella. The descriptions and word choice make you want to be in the novel.

Do you know any young adult romance books ?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

I am look for a funny type of romance book. I am more looking for a high school type setting. Something up to date, that I can relate to. A lot of drama , but not to much. I don’t like books with a lot of slang. It seems like I can’t find anymore books and I am at a total lost.

I am currenty 16 years old.

Have u tried the Twilight Series?
Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer.
They are great. Give them a try.

Also:
~Jinx
~Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac
~Pretty Much anything by Sarah Dessen
~ My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult
~ Forever by Judy Blume (Not my favorite though)

Why do a lot of women like romance novels?

Monday, October 19th, 2009

I know not all women read romance novels, I sure don’t, but I want to ask those who do why they like them so much. I don’t necesarrily mean those trashy romance books, I mean romance novels in general.

I don’t read straight romance, but I do read and write books with romantic elements. I also belong to a romance group of 2000+ writers, whom all read romance.

Romance, like some have mentioned and like other genres, is pure entertainment. It has NOTHING to do with whether or not women have romance in their lives. That is falsely incorrect. Reading in general is a way to escape the everyday of one’s life and to live vicariously through others, in a world (in romance’s sake) where love triumphs, the couple overcomes all obstacles and there is always a happily-ever-after. It’s a fantasy, and not one about the hero, but one where love prevails against all odds.

I don’t believe there is such a thing as a "trashy" romance, although there are novels in general that are poorly written–although I don’t believe that is what "trashy" meant. :) Romances with graphic sex and kink are called erotic romances. There is nothing wrong with reading these books. It, too, is a form of entertainment and quite enjoyable.

According to all the women I’ve spoken with, romance is about the fantasy.

Where is the best place online or otherwise to sell my romance novels?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

So I have a LOT of romance novels, most of the bestsellers and in like-new condition. I was wondering where exactly was the best place to sell them. Ebay, amazon, something else? I’ve been told that half priced book store often rips you off. Well anyway, any suggestions + details would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

~~Both of the ones you suggested are great. For books I love www.half.com I usually go there first to buy used ones. It also is affiliated with EBAY, but there is not bidding, it’s just a set price. Super easy website to use too!~~

What are some good cheap ways to romance your wife?

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Ok, here is my situation. I have been married for about 3 years now. We have a son that is a little over 2. I have begun to notice that our sex life is lacking, we are talking 1 or 2 times a MONTH! Due to some things with our finances we are not able to do a lot of things we want. I know as a husband it is important to romance your wife. But yet I never have the money to do anything fancy for her. Is there any suggestions on how I might romance my wife without breaking the bank?

Write her a letter- bring up things that you appreciate about her. Stroke her ego in words. Most wives stop getting love letters once you’re married. A love letter from your husband is awesome. Make it smell good too. A long. Not just a few words- give her a page of love- nothing corney- but acknowledge everything she does that you love.

Do you find many romance novels to be similar to eachother?

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

I’ve read a lot of romance novels with very similar plot lines but by different authors. Have you? I’m definately not saying all romance novels in the least bit, but definately some. Agree? Disagree?

If they are within a particular imprint, that is not surprising. It may be a ‘formula book’, which is one of the major complaints originally about imprints like Harlequin Romance.

Some formula imprints are very specific, others not so much. One may list that the woman be a CEO on a business trip that has an affair with a local worker, while another imprint may only require that all stories take place in a major foriegn city.
