Huge Nora Roberts fan (McGregor's anyone?!?). I used to read them anywhere, no shame here. They're predictable, fun, easy reads that don't require too many neurons to fire, which I find relaxing. Now that I have a kindle, I go through them like crazy.<br /> True story, I got a romance novel audio book for a car ride I was doing alone once, and I had to skip the racy scenes because it was making me blush! Back then I had the old nano with no screen, so skip ahead was like 15 seconds, then it would play. So here I am driving, racy scene starts: *skip* "pouting lips" *skip* "throbbing" *skip* "lustful" and so on. It was awkward to hear someone reading, even as I skipped and only caught one or two words here and there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65313 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:25:20 +0000 BSB 65313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love romance books now. Thanks to my kindle. Would I be caught with a real romance book? Nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65282 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:36:52 +0000 cupcakemama 65282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ps Don't really read them now as I don't have those kind of idle hours anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65280 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:36:11 +0000 cupcakemama 65280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: lol. No really, that made me laugh out loud! I can totally see it though. I used to read loads of romance novels but never, never, never in public. The kindle would have been awesome!</p> <p>I like them predictable and cheesy. Go Mills and Boon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65062 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:19:10 +0000 singingbee 65062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: I love that book!</p> <p>I love romance books. My fav authors are Linda Howard, Judith McNaught, Julie Garwood, Lori Foster, Carly Phillips, and elizabeth lowell to name a few. </p> <p>I've started getting into Nora Roberts and I love her new series that just came out about the brothers and the inn they are renovating. I loved her bride books about the four friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65058 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:15:13 +0000 Adira 65058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: That's why I like the paranormal romance series by J.R. Ward and Sherrilyn Kenyon. Although the relationshipy part might be fairly predictable, there's a lot of other story happening! Plus in J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series, although each book focuses on a different relationship, all the characters from the previous books are still around, which I really enjoy. And there's an overall story arc that spans multiple books, so it keeps things fresh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65052 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:10:08 +0000 Mrsbells 65052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to read romance novels... i was addicted.. but they are basically very predictable to me now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65043 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:06:41 +0000 MsMini 65043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have recently taken a liking to Nora Roberts books ... but I average reading 3 books per week, so I have to keep my options open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65042 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:06:03 +0000 Rescuemom10 65042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend has been trying to get me into what she reads which is like Romance/Paranormal. I read unwed and undead. It was actually pretty good. It made me laugh too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-65035 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 15:01:24 +0000 Adira 65035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: YES!!!

You can read a romance novel and everyone thinks you're skimming the Economist. +1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-64978 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:22:40 +0000 pelikila 64978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love historical romance novels by Eloisa James and Sherry Thomas as well as anything by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-64954 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:57:46 +0000 LuLu Mom 64954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Kristin Hannah books, but her's aren't the cheesy romance novels. My favorite guilty pleasure of all time is Star by Danielle Steel, such a good read! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/diddo-you-read-romance-novels#post-64953 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:55:26 +0000 chopsuey 64953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: Read it!! hahah.
