My Top Five Romances |

These books delight me again and again, or hold a special place in my heart Crazy
for You, Jennifer Crusie Crazy
for You, Jennifer Crusie The day her live-in lover tries to take her dog to the pound, Quinn McKenzie decides it's time for a change. Soon, the life renovation involves moving out, and getting a new house, a new bed, a new couch, and she hopes a new lover. The subplots are as enjoyable as the main story in this lark of a book. Outlander,
Diana Gabaldon Sent back through time from post-WWII Scotland to the Scotland of 1943, Claire Randall finds danger, mystery, and most of all, passion with…oops, sorry, I made the mistake of picking up the book and starting to read. I have to go now. Captive Passions, Fern MichaelsThis is the first romance I ever read, at the tender age of 14. My cousin brought a friend to visit and she loaned it to me. I read it in one sitting. I remember being amazed at the love scenes. I didn't understand everything they were doing, but it sounded good to me. The heroine, Sirena, and her sister are sailing to the West Indies to marry her sister off to a Dutch planter when their ship is set upon by pirates. Sirena is raped and her sister murdered in the most dastardly fashion. She vows revenge, and with the help of a cabin boy, escapes. When she reaches the West Indies, she marries the planter, pretending to be the devout wife. Secretly, however, she sneaks away to sail as the Sea Siren, a pirate captain always searching for the hook-handed pirate who killed her sister. I loved this book. Sirena wasn't a wimpy heroine waiting to be saved. She could duel with the best of them, run a ship, and capture the heart of the hero. My kinda chick. Born
in Shame, Nora Roberts No matter how many times I read it, this one holds up. Gone
with the Wind,
Margaret Mitchell
