It depends if you're looking for romantic novels or romance novels. Romantic novels, I'd recommend The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, Pride & Prejudice, and Gone With The Wind. (Anything Jane Austen really). If you're looking for romance novels...you're typical paperback romance novel genre...my favorite authors are Stephanie Laurens, Julia Quinn, and LaVyrle Spencer.

A great romantic novel is Noahic, by Shawn Hopkins. Romance may not be the main theme of this novel, but you'll be in awe of James, the main character. Trust me, you'll love this book.

I really like Nora Roberts. I expecially liked the "Irish Trilogy", the "Born in..." trilogy and the Stanislasky series. She also wrties as J.D. Robb which are very good romantic suspense novels set in the future. The romantic lead in those is really intriguing. Hope it helps. Happy reading.

The only N. Sparks books I like is A Walk to Remember. I think in general his writing stinks.
I'd recommend The Day of the Storm by Rosamund Pilcher
Also anything by Richard Paul Evans.

Rebecca Paisley-A basket of wishes.
Its about a fairy Splendour who is ordered to marry a human( a duke).The poor hero is confused by the woman who will shrink if not kissed regularly,drinks apricot face lotion.On top of that he is harassed by splendour's sister who even turns him into a snail.His cousin Emil thinks that Splendour is exactly what the doctor ordered for the staid ,boring Jordan.
Mary Balogh-Lady with a black umbrella(Funny romance).The heroine is always rescuing the hero-whether he wants to be rescued or not.
Lynsay Sands-A bride promises her father that she'll obey her husband 'always'.I mean 'always'.The poor groom didn't know what he was going to get when he was coarced to marry the king's daughter.
Anne Gracie-The perfect rake.The heroine just wants to save her sisters from their abusive grand father.However one lie led to another and another.The hero was perfectly willing to go along with the charades.
Really great romance novels
You belong to me-Johanna lindsey
A dark champion,Born in sin-Kinley Macgregor
Angel rogue,One perfect rose,The wild child-Mary jo Putney
Mary Balogh-Slightly tempted,A famous heroine,The temporary wife
The de burgh bride-Deborah Simmons
Isn't it romantic-Ronda Thompson
How to treat a lady-Karen Hawkins(and the rest of the Talisman ring series)
Lord of the storm,The sky pirate-Justine Davis

Another good series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books provide an alternate take on vampires.People who are unjustly murdered call upon Artemis(Greek goddess) and she grants them a day to avenge themselves.After that they are recruited to her army to fight against evil.This series is romance based.Best of the series are 'Dance with the devil' and 'Seize the night'.
Werehunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books in the series are Nightplay,Dragonswan,Stroke of midnight,Unleash the night.These are romance novels.You can read not only about were-wolves but also about were-dragons,were-panthers,wer... and were-tigers.The heros are handsome,powerful and with a mysterious past.Interesting reading.The best of the lot is Night play.

Danielle Steel, Mary Higgins Clark, Phyllis Whitney, and Catherine Coulter are some of my faves. Your local library can make a ton of suggestions. Nicholas Sparks is a great suggestion. Try an oldie, but goodie..."Love Story"...it's a classic.

"Katherine" by Anya Seton
"Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon
"Ride the Wind" by Lucia St. Clair Robson
None of these are strict "romance novels," they're historicals. (Well, actually Diana Gabaldon's books defy explanation. They're just good.) But the love story element is the heart and soul of each story.

a very old one, but one of my favorites is: ACTS OF FAITH by Eric Segal. He is the author of "love story". This is a very interesting novel about a catholic boy inlove with a jewish princess, and their lives together and apart. I am not giving it any service by writing about it. You should find it and read it. Guarranteed you won't put it down. It's a keeper.
Enjoy.
