I would recommend reading Sarah Dessen and Joan Bauer. My favorite Dessen title is The Truth About Forever. But if you like YA romance, you'll probably like them all. (I know I do!).
If you're looking for other YA titles with vampires in them...try Peeps by Scott Westerfeld and Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz. You might also try browsing at your local library or bookstore. There have been several YA books released in the past year or so capitalizing on the popularity of Twilight. Many are even released as paperbacks in their first edition.
You would also probably like A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. It seems to be quite popular among Stephenie Meyer fans.

You might try the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series, even though they are not entirely about romance they do feature it. You might also like the romance novels published by Avalon Books, they feature characters that are older than teenagers but the content is still appropriate (and enjoyable) for teenage readers.
My favorite romantic novel is The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery.

Try reading the Emily books by L. M. Montgomery or "The Blue Castle." They are not as easy to read as more modern books since they were written in the 1920s, but they are very romantic.
Also, there is a love story in "The Amber Spyglass," but you have to read the first two books in the series ("The Golden Compass" and "The Subtle Knife") to understand what's going on.
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" series has love stories interwoven in the plots.

I don't know any young adult books that focus on romance.I haven't read any young adult books actually.However you may like the following books.They certainly have some romance though it is not the primary focus.
The best among the Tarzan novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs is 'Son of Tarzen.' Jack,the son of Tarzan shared his father's love for apes.He was only trying to help an ape escape to Africa from his cruel trainer.However he got involved in a murder and couldn't return home.He chose to live in the jungle with the apes.Its a fascinating book.The social system among the intelligent giant apes,Korak's relationship with Miriam are all interesting stuff.Its a great coming of age book.
Chessmen of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs.Tara of Helium,a Martian princess gets lost in a storm while riding in her flier and blown halfway across the surface of the planet, and the Prince Gahan(who had been unsuccessfully courting Tara) goes in search of her.However he assumes the identity of a common soldier.They have many adventures on their way back.I've given a link where you can read the novel online for free.Its the 5th book in the Mars book series by Burroughs.
Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini.The setting is the late 17th century, with Monmouth rising up against King James II. Peter Blood,a doctor is not actively involved, but he is called to tend to one of the wounded -- and promptly arrested for his trouble. Injustice reigns in these times, and Blood suffers greatly for doing his duty. Eventually he is shipped off to the Caribbean and, as a rebel-convict, sold off as a slave.
Colonel Bishop, of the Barbados Militia, buys Blood. His medical training serves Blood well, as he becomes valued for his talents (especially considering the incompetence of the other two doctors on the island), but he is still a slave. Colonel Bishop remains an enemy until the end, but to complicate matters Bishop has a niece, Arabella. There is some obvious attraction between Blood and Arabella, but the situation almost never allow them to be quite on the same page.
Blood finds freedom -- showing his noble nature even in escape -- and has no alternative but to take up the pirating life.
Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary,Aerie) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. That is only the beginning.The rest of the books are about how he gets a dragon of his own,his escape to Alta,how the war between the two kingdoms is stopped etc.
You can get free e-books by edgar rice burroughs,O.Henry and rafael sabatini from Project Gutenberg.

Have you ever read Nicholas Sparks?
Try 'A Walk To Remember'
It was the first book I read in English and sometimes I still reread some parts because it's soooo romantic!
