Romantic Era Books Novels & Stories

he answered, and this just made me even more curious to ask him more questions. “Even though you can order it, but then it would take days for it to get here and you need it right now, so you had to come here,” I answered, giving him an explanation, and he nodded in agreement, immediately locking in. “What’s the name of this book?” I asked, and he swallowed. “Just an old classic historical romance book; Rebellious Love by Maura Seger,” he answered, and I slowly nodded. “Okay then,” I said as I took slow steps away from him.

"Uh. Should I?" "Start reading," she says, without looking at him. Her fingers drum against the desk, a staccato rhythm. "We don’t have all day." Neither do we, Lilian. I give them twenty minutes. Twenty minutes of forced proximity, of Lilian’s perfume..something dark and floral, like crushed violets, seeping into the space between them. Twenty minutes of her crossing and uncrossing her legs, the hem of her skirt riding higher with each shift.

Emma could still recall the delicious shiver that had seized her when he'd first sent those lips in a string of sweet kisses from the hollow of her ear to the hollow of her shoulder. And at night, every night, she read by candlelight and hungered to experience more of the adventures in the books. The Secret Loves of Molly K. A Gentleman's Confessions. Diary of A Fallen Woman. Those and others like them. Finally, on a day when everyone else was out, Henry Ryans had arrived at the house claiming to have forgotten to leave a lesson-book that he had promised to give to Mary. Emma had welcomed him kindly and invited him into the parlor to sit. And there, emboldened by their solitude, they had fin

He was gone, but the shadow of him remained, dark and suffocating. For a moment, the fading scent of his cologne transported me back to the terrace at the Harrington estate, the night sky scattered with stars, his lips tasting of expensive champagne as he kissed me for the first time. “You’re extraordinary, Georgia,” he’d whispered against my mouth. The memory shattered with the metallic click of the lock sliding into place, fragments of that woman—that Georgia—scattering like broken glass.

"Whatever happened to love each other first then... then doing the deed after. Is everyone after physical contact only these days? What about getting to know each other first? Chivalry? Romantic date?" I sighed and stopped spinning, facing my laptop and visiting a bookstore's site to see what books sell. Ah, of course, my book wouldn't be in the top 10, and I didn't hope so; what's staring back at me is the top 10 best-selling books for the week, where five of ten are Erotic Romance books. "And I thought my company wouldn't be like other companies who are after profit; I was wrong. Then again, business is business."

It was scorching like a flame and if auras could be tasted, hers would definitely be bitter. I shuddered, walking over to the first aisle to check it out. The first book that caught my attention was Blood, Pawns and Obsession. It was a dark romance by Rylie Martin. I had one of my projects on hold because I wanted to read this book and get into the head of the psychotic male lead, so I would understand him better and be able to execute my plotline to my taste. The grin on my face unconsciously widened, and I brought the book to my nose, sniffing it in.

’ Claudia felt a pang of sympathy for poor old Sister Bernadette, who’d tried so hard to make them all enthusiastic about literature - ‘It’s really terribly amusing, girls, if you can just get over these silly prejudices about nineteenth- century language. ‘Not at first,’ she admitted. ‘I thought it was the most boring thing since watching eggs boiling.’ ‘But you liked it in the end.’ I knew you would , her tone said. Because you’re on the other side of the great divide between Still-at-School and Escaped. Claudia could still remember when she’d actually started to enjoy the book. The villainess of the piece had suddenly reminded her vividly of that cow Emma Cartwright who’d pinched her boyf

He offered and handed his pill to me, bringing a bright smile to my face. "Thanks bro." I thanked him, and he winked, rushing out. That was how he saved me, but I knew it was only a matter of time before my secret would be exposed. This was a dangerous path to tread—the type that would bring disaster and death at the end. It was that type of romance that has no happy ending. I knew this, and I should stay away. The best option was to kill her and save myself from falling harder, but my powers are weak in front of her.

I just needed to keep my guard up. “My life is filled with the paranormal, but romance? Don’t make me laugh.” I scoffed. “If you think your behavior is romantic, you should educate yourself. There’s a whole bookcase worth of study material.” I gestured to the bookcase where I’d take A Queen Among Snakes off. “You know romance is a two-way street. It’s not my fault you don’t appreciate my gestures.” Aidan kissed my neck, this time higher, closer to my ear. “But if you want me to learn from your smut books.”

Or that they at least, got the wrong impression of her. “They think I don’t like romance?” She asked like there was someone else in the room with her. “Well, I bet they’ve never even messed around with any guy before. They’ve probably never even gotten kissed by a hot guy before and I’m the unromantic one?” “Otherwise they wouldn’t shut up about it. I would have heard stories about it”. “I’ll show them both that I’m not what they think of me”. “I’ll find a hot guy, make out with him and have sex with him”.
