Romance novels are a dime a dozen! There is something out there for everyone's taste! What makes romance as a genre so interesting is that there can be all kinds of love stories- funny ones, tragic ones, dramatic ones, scary (stalkers and such) ones etc. However, what is also interesting is that there are so many badly written romances out there.
A good romance should have the basic elements in place- characters that one connects with and roots for, some fun quirks which makes these characters endearing and memorable, great chemistry, great banter and also some steamy love making! What?! Let's not be coy now!
So, without further ado, let's get into it, shall we?

1. My absolute FAVOURITE romance book this year was 'The Rosie Project'. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Don's character! He is just so adorable and funny and so endearing.
Here is the review.
Hope you enjoy these books, if you go out and read them!

5 and 4. As far as romance novels go, for me the discovery of the year 2014 was Colleen Hoover. She writes, what people are calling, 'New Adult' books- basically, steamier than the teenage/ young adult rom-coms and whose protagonists are, largely, over eighteen (to allow for the aforementioned steamy lovemaking stuff, I presume! *wink* *wink*)
I, especially, enjoyed Maybe Someday, Hopeless and Ugly Love. She writes romances well, her protagonists have demons of some kind that they are trying to exorcise and there is a lot of love and some steamy love making as well. There! The full package!
Hopeless is reviewed here.

3. My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick is a well-written love story with a nice plot, cute characters and the kind of complexity that one does not get to see in many YA romances. Here is the review.
2. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes is a simply lovely, heartbreaking book about loving someone else, sure, but most of all, loving yourself and seeing value in who you are. This book made me laugh and cry (oh how it made me cry) and it is such a lovely book! Jojo Moyes is simply a brilliant romance writer! Here is the review of this amazing book.
