You will Fall in Love With the Best Romance Novels
of all time
Things are about to get steamy in here. In honor of Valentine's Day, Goodreads just revealed the most popular romance
novels of all time based on their 80 million members' ratings, reviews, and
"shelved" books they've read or want to read. With both library
classics (Pride and Prejudice can't
be beat) and brand-new reads (have you picked up The Kiss Quotient yet?),
there's a little something for everyone:
historical, paranormal, heartwarming, and of course steamy.
Check out these 20 top picks from the critics who matter the most,
the readers themselves.

the first place.

Traynor.
4.Pride and Prejudice
JANE AUSTEN

This 1813 book is basically the O.G. when it comes to romance
novels. If you've already read it and loved it, check out Curtis Sittenfeld's
reinterpretation Eligible, which
sets Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in modern-day Cincinnati.
5.
The Thorn Birds
COLLEEN
MCCULLOUGH
amazon.in
Rs.129
(78% off)
This sweeping multigenerational tale of life on a sheep
station in the Outback often gets described as
"an Australian Gone With the Wind,"
but the romance primarily focuses on an illicit affair between Maggie, a resident
on the remote ranch, and a handsome priest.
6. Outlander
DIANA
GABALDON
amazon.in
Rs.129
(74% off)
Yep, before it became an epic costume drama on Starz, this

British combat nurse, and her Scottish warrior love interest ... who's living
in 1743.
7. The Hating Game
amazon.in
Rs.219
(69% off)
Another relatively new entry, this 2016 debut novel from Sally
Thorne details the bitter rivalry between coworkers Lucy Hutton and her sworn
nemesis Joshua Templeman as they compete for the same promotion. You can
probably guess what happens next
8. Dark Lover
J. R .WARD
Rs.276
(76% off)
Yes, a vampire romance novel made the top 10 — and it's a lot
darker (and sexier) than Twilight. The
first book in the Black Dagger Brotherhood Series sets up the
paranormal plot: "The only purebred vampire left on the planet and
the leader of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Wrath has a score to settle with
the slayers who killed his parents centuries ago ... Racked by a restlessness
in her body that wasn’t there before, Beth Randall is helpless against the
dangerously sexy man who comes to her at night with shadows in his eyes."
9. Fallen Too Far
Amazon.in
Rs.132.99
(92% off)
On the lighter side of things, enter a classic beach read set on the
Florida shore. Good girl Blaire comes from a farm in Alabama. Bad boy Rush is
the rich son of a famous rock star. Forced together, things only start to heat
up.
10. Bared to You
SYLVIA
DAY
Rs.129
(68% off)
Rounding out the top 10 is the first entry in
Sylvia Day's Crossfire series. Big city newbie Eva Tramell literally
falls at the feet of billionaire tycoon Gideon Cross, kickstarting a steamy
romance that reveals secrets from both their dark pasts. Sound
familiar? There's a reason one Amazon reviewer called it the
"soap opera version of Fifty Shades of Grey."
