2:The ProposalJASMINE GUILLORY
You really can't go wrong with any of Jasmine Guillory's fun, romantic romps, but this Reese's Book Club pick is especially great. Freelance writer Nik's boyfriend proposes at a Dodger's game, and the dude can't even spell her name right. She says no (duh), and the video goes viral. Handsome doctor Carlos sweeps her away from the frenzy, but he can't possibly be the real deal. Or can he?
3:The Hating GameSALLY THORNE
If you've ever carried a torch for a coworker (the scandal!) this 2016 novel will speak to you. Ccoworkers Lucy Hutton and her sworn nemesis Joshua Templeman have a rivalry as bitter as they come, especially as they compete for the same promotion. At least, it starts out that way.
4:Vision In WhiteNORA ROBERTS
The prolific Nora Roberts has penned more than 200 romance novels, but this one earned top marks from her fans as the first installment in The Bride Quartet. Wedding photographer Mackensie "Mac" Elliot operates a wedding planning company with three friends. When a day on the job introduces her to sweet and stable English teacher Carter Maguire, their casual fling might lead to her own happy ending.

6:Gone With the Wind
If you've never read this 900-plus-page Civil War saga (or watched the four-hour movie), it's never too late. Scarlett O'Hara, her "perfect knight" Ashley Wilkes, and the scandalous yet dashing Rhett Butler stand the test of time. Readers have devoured more than 30 million copies of this Pulitzer Prize winner since 1936 and once you dive in, you'll understand why.
7:A Long Petal of the SeaISABEL ALLENDE
This brand new read from romance titan Isabel Allende follows pregnant widow Roser and her deceased lover's brother, Victor as they flee fascist Spain aboard a ship chartered by the poet Pablo Neruda. As they start over in Chile, the two face trials and tribulations, but hope (and each other) keeps them strong.
8:Pride and Prejudice
JANE AUSTEN
This 1813 book is so old, it's free if you have a Kindle! And you should definitely take advantage of that – it's basically the O.G. romance novel. If you're already a Jane Austen stan, check out Curtis Sittenfeld's reinterpretation Eligible, which sets Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in modern-day Cincinnati.
9:The Thorn BirdsCOLLEEN MCCULLOUGH
This sweeping multigenerational tale of life on a sheep station in the Outback often gets described as "an Australian Gone With the Wind," so if you love that classic, try this one on for size. The romance primarily focuses on an illicit affair between Maggie, a resident on the remote ranch, and a handsome priest.
10:OutlanderDIANA GABALDON
Before it became an epic costume drama on Starz, this time-traveling romance novel introduced the world to Claire Randall, a former British combat nurse, and her Scottish warrior love interest ... who's living in 1743. This one's got it all: time travel, danger, intrigue, and of course, plenty of passionate love.
11:Delta of VenusANAIS NIN
If you've never read Anaïs Nin and call yourself a romance fan, fix that right now. This short story collection was written in the 1940s, and its romantic erotic themes still hold up. But don't take our word for it.
12:Love at First Like: A Novel
HANNAH ORENSTEIN |
13:The Time Traveler's WifeAUDREY NIFFENEGGER
What happens when you fall in love with someone who lives on a totally different timeline? That's the story for Henry DeTamble, a librarian who gets unstuck in time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life progresses the conventional way. This romantic tale is as unique as it is beautiful.
14:Eleanor & ParkRAINBOW ROWELL
They say you never forget your first love. Test that theory by taking a trip down memory lane with Eleanor and Park, two lovestruck misfit teens in 1986. They're smart enough to know young love never lasts, but brave enough to try.
15:The NotebookNICHOLAS SPARKS
Say it ain't so, but we first watched *that* rain scene 15 years ago. Revisit Noah and Allie in the 1996 book about a South Carolina socialite separated from her summer love before their letters (and later notebooks) bring them back together.
