Default any love story suggestions?

I am in the mood to read a love story, any you would recomend? I am not into harliquin romance stuff, more stuff like twilight, or the notebook.

If you don't mind historical, I loved The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory. I read most of her other books too, but I liked this one the best.

The Bronze Horseman series by Paulina Simmons..O.M.G. EPIC. Amazing. I fell into those three books like no other and I go back and reread every so often. I read the Bronze Horseman by itself years ago and didn't realize there were two more. The third doesn't actually come out in the US till this summer. I loved it so much I ordered it from the UK, lol

and then The Summer Garden comes out in July

A Walk to Remember or The Wedding are both good.

Since I'm obsessed with Outlander, I have to second Traci's suggestion. Jamie and Claire's love story is the best!

And The Bronze Horseman is a close second for me. Can't wait for book 3 in June!

OMG Rochelle ... I think you are the only other person that I know that has read The Bronze Horseman. I've tried outlander and ended up putting it down several times ... tell me, if I love TBH will I love it? should I keep going with it and try again? ... There's just no love like the love between Tania and Shura ....swooooon

Well, I started out a bit skeptical, but ended up really enjoying the Pioneer Woman's real life love story. She is very funny and it's a sweet love story. http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-Woman-.../dp/0061997161

Exactly what I was going to suggest.

I second (third?) Outlander and The Wedding.

I'd also recommend:

- Gone With The Wind, classic!
- One Day
- The Time Traveller's Wife

Amy, I did the same thing with Outlander. A friend recommended it to me, and I tried at least 5 times to get into it, but kept falling asleep because the beginning is boring. My friend urged me to push through, and it ended up consuming me. I even stopped eating for a few days; I just couldn't put the books down long enough to be bothered by food. I still need to get my daily Jamie and Claire fix, so I'll just read random passages that speak to me.

I really loved TBH too, but for me, Jamie and Claire beat Tatiana and Alexander. So yes, I'd definitely give Outlander another try, knowing it gets really good around chapter 13 or so.

I'm so jealous that you've read The Summer Garden already!! I'm patiently waiting for the US release. I finished T&A in March, I think.
