Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Neffeneger. I highly suggest it! Here is a synopsis from Amazon:
On the surface, Henry and Clare Detamble are a normal couple living in Chicago's Lincoln Park neighborhood. Henry works at the Newberry Library and Clare creates abstract paper art, but the cruel reality is that Henry is a prisoner of time. It sweeps him back and forth at its leisure, from the present to the past, with no regard for where he is or what he is doing. It drops him naked and vulnerable into another decade, wearing an age-appropriate face. In fact, it's not unusual for Henry to run into the other Henry and help him out of a jam. Sound unusual? Imagine Clare Detamble's astonishment at seeing Henry dropped stark naked into her parents' meadow when she was only six. Though, of course, until she came of age, Henry was always the perfect gentleman and gave young Clare nothing but his friendship as he dropped in and out of her life. It's no wonder that the film rights to this hip and urban love story have been acquired. Elsa Gaztambide

Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson
I read this book when I was 17 or 18. It's a re-telling of the Robin Hood legend. It's a great book.

If you have never read any of the Pern series it is good, several romances within but not exclusivly about one. Then there is the series of The Crystal Singer. It is about a woman's life. Very interesting. Both of these are written by Anne McCaffrey.

My girl really loves books by Christine Feehan, she's always reading them. Her stories are supposed to be dark and romantic. She writes about "everything from shapeshifting, to wild, exotic and dangerous animals, to the nature of true love (and passion)." Check out Christine's website at http://www.christinefeehan.com/dark_series.htm for more info.

"Skellig" by David Almond is not exactly romantic, but it is beautiful. All his books are, in their own weird ways. They're right on the line between fantasy and realism, but they're worth reading and very beautiful.
"City of Saints and Madmen" by Jeff VanderMeer is simultaneously romantic, bizarre, beautiful and ghastly. I recommend it highly.
I hope this helps, and enjoy your reading!
