Serious romance fiction?

[jmc_bks]

The Post is looking for reader recommendations of romance novels for Valentine's Day. Of course, they include their own recommendations...which I've mostly never heard of. So far most of the recs (I'm still scrolling through the comments) are lit fic. Do the Outlander books count as genre romance since Gabaldon says they aren't?

The minute I saw Anna Kare-na something I knew the books wouldn't be for me.

I'm putting a rec in for Kinsale. A more depressing list of novels I've never seen. Someone nominated David Copperfield. Good gawd. And there's a comment wondering why Gabaldon isn't shelved in historical fiction rather than romance. Hmm, maybe because romance sells better? ;-)

I voted Lord of Scoundrels, The Spymaster's Lady and If his kiss is Wicked. I can't wait to see the results

You're welcome :)

I'm looking forward to see how the recommendations are presented. And I'm wondering when -- on Valentine's Day? Or the weekend before perhaps?
