PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice is the most famous of Jane Austen's novels, and its opening is one of the most famous lines in English literature—"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." It portrays life in the genteel rural society of the day, and tells of the initial misunderstandings and later mutual enlightenment between Elizabeth Bennet (whose liveliness and quick wit have often attracted readers) and the haughty Darcy. The title Pride and Prejudice refers (among other things) to the ways in which Elizabeth and Darcy first view each other.

Also Love Story by Erich Segal is a phenomenon.

The novel tells the story of Oliver Barrett, IV, who comes from a long line of wealthy and well-respected Harvard University graduates. Partly to break the traditional Ivy League mold, the Harvard student meets and falls in love with Jennifer Cavilleri, a poor, quick-witted Radcliffe College student. Upon graduation from college, the two decide to marry against the wishes of Oliver's father, who thereafter severs ties with his son.
The novel also includes the double meaning of a love story between Oliver and his father, highlighted by the scene between Oliver and his father at the end of the book.

Answer 3

Dance with the devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The following review is taken from Amazon

Zarek was mad, bad and more than a little insane, and now everyone wants him dead. But hey, that was nothing new to this loner. Born the bastard son of a Roman nobleman and a Greek slave, Zarek had known a lifetime of abuse, torture and humiliation.

It takes a very special woman to see past that hostility and find the lost, unloved boy inside. Happily, Astrid is such a woman (or demigoddess, actually). Her empathy, patience and unconditional love make the perfect foil for Zarek's personal demons. They truly are a match made in heaven -- or should I say Mt. Olympus?

Also seize the night,Nightplay by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Answer 4

"Noli me Tangere" By Jose P. Rizal ; The Tragic love story of Maria Clara and Crisostomo Ibarra set against the turbulent times of the early days of Philippine revolution against Spain. The novel deals mainly on the deception and the oppressive doctrines of the church in its attempt to control the people into perpetual submission to the spanish colonizers. The novel was banned as it became the 'bible' of a peasant revolution which eventually won in 1898. No other 'love story' have that much impact in the history of a country and to its continuing struggle to be free from foreign domination.

Answer 11

first i thought of LOVE STORY by ERICH SEGAL but I think the heartrending love scenes of Earl of Emsworth really takes the cake. Especially when his sisters put in the wench for the sake of family honor.
Oh, how i used to love it when I was a young boy and how I wish I can relive it now.
