Get Loved up for Valentines Day!  

Romantic Reads

Real life fellas have a lot to live up to if their partner is a bibliophile!  We may constantly compare them with the love-interests in the novels we read.  I have a full blown crush on Eric Northman (the sexy vampire who is Sookie Stackhouse's on/off boyfriend in Charlaine Harris' vampire novels), but I also nominate these page-turning hotties:  Try my favourite high-brow & dignified heroes like Fitzwilliam Darcy, Will Traynor, Jay Gatsby or some gritty action heroes who show no fear, like Jack Reacher, Matthew Clairmont or Ranger - it's no wonder our poor guys fall short.

Here's a list of some of the most romantic books I've read:

• Eleanor & Park :  Rainbow Rowell
• The Girl you Left Behind : Jojo Moyes
• The One You Really Want : Jill Mansell
• Sense & Sensibility : Jane Austen
• Twilight : Stephanie Meyer
• Love, Rosie (Where Rainbows End) : Celia Ahern
• Beautiful Creatures : Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
• Some Girls Do : Clodagh Murphy
• Shiver : Maggie Stiefvater
• Welcome to Temptation : Jennifer Crusie

Happy reading guys.  Let me know what you think of my suggestions, and any new romantic heroes that I ought to be looking up!
