I highly recommend Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia C Wrede and Carolyn Stevermer. It's part fantasy, part humor and part romance. It's also a fun and easy read and very engrossing.
Also, Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. It's a dark fantasy with some romance as well. Fascinating book.

I recommend Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer. They are great books.
Sarah Dessen is a great writer. She also has a bit of romance in each book. My favorite would be The Truth About Forever, but all her books are good. Her newest book is Just Listen.
Joan Bauer is great too. Hope Was Here is probably my favorite. But all of them are good in their own way. The Rules of the Road and Squashed are probably next on my list of books as far as favorites go.
Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta is good.
If you like fantasy...try Goose Girl by Shannon Hale.
And the Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfeld is very good too. Definitely not your typical 'romance' though.

Okay, you should definately read This Lullaby. Another good one that has 3 books that come after it is Wild Magic although you don't get to the more romancy parts in this series til the last one but it is worth it.

Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy series that you might like. The title of the first episode is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you are a fan of Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter books, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!

THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

Try the confessions of Georgia Nicholson novels by Louise Rennison. They are hilarious and have some romance.
