Book freaks discussion

I need recommendations for excellent romance books. I don't read romance, but I need to get books as a gift. They need to be well-written, and not erotica of any kind.

She already reads Macomber, Roberts, and Sparks. I'm looking for something different. This is for a 65 year old woman who has read the classics and likes pop romance. I'm looking for something contemporary but well-written (preferably without a formula).

Thanks,
Katie

How about Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte or Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte?

The thompson-sisters series by charles sheehan-miles is really good :D if she likes sparks, she will like this series

Try Nora Roberts or Beverly Lewis.

Susan Mallery and Kristan Higgins are the first two to pop in my mind if she is a fan of Macomber, Roberts, and Sparks. ~ Kim S.

I'm in the 2nd book of a neighbor from hell series & so far I'm in love. you should try it. It's the perfect mixture between romance and comedy.

I can't read any really romantic books.

But You should read Grimm Legacy, a little romantic, but really cool :D

Thanks, this is for my mother in law. Grimm Legacy was ok, but nothing she'd ever appreciate.

Okay.

Well I am of very little knowledge when it comes to romance genre but you can always have a look at This years Goodreads Choice award winners from Romance category... :)

But depending upon the taste of reading material you'll have to choose the best...

Also in honor of Christmas how about the Christmas Train by Balducci? Not his usual but a cute story set in winter time.

Have a look at Sky Burial by Xinran. An epic love story of a woman looking for answers.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer , I still need to find it and read it but it's my bestie's favourite book :) and also Waterfall , which is awesome time travel, and and , if you want something really cute <3

How about the ocean at the end of the lane

I recommend this NA romance

I would highly recommend 'Thursdays in the Park' by Hilary Boyd. The main character is a 60-year-old woman who has been in a sexless marriage for 10 years. Whilst taking her grand daughter to the park, she meets a man a few years younger than her taking his grandson. Its romantic, dramatic and at times a bit saucey (don't assume that a 65 year old will object to a bit of friskyness. After all her generation were young adults in the 60s). I loved it because it's a great story, with strong characters, very well written and about older adults, rather than the usual 30-year-olds (I'm 54).

Another good one where the protagonists are 30 somethings, but its a lovely read is 'The Unpredictable Consequences of Love' by Jill Mansell.

I don't have any contemporary, but if she's willing to give paranormal a go then I recommend Dark Lycan by Christine Feehan. I only ever really read paranormal, sorry I couldn't be more help.
