Musing Mondays (February 13, 2012)

What is your favorite romantic book - or book that include a love story? (an adult romance, young adult, kids' story, etc.)

My favorites are many. But if I have to choose some, it would be What Scotland Taught Me (Molly Ringle), For The Roses (Julie Garwood) and Breath of Life (Christine Pope). 

Molly Ringle's What Scotland Taught Me is a young adult contemporary romance about a group of friends who goes to Scotland right after high school to seek for life experience. I loved, loved, loved this book because of all the craziness it had apart from the twisted romance between the characters. The characters are very realistic and one could easily fall in love with one or probably all of them. Read this book and you'll understand what I meant. Here's my review (link). 

Breath of Life is a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, but with a much sci-fi setting. In fact, it was set in a futuristic world where human no longer inhabit the Earth and also become acquainted with other planets' inhabitant. At first, I wasn't sure if a retold could win me over, but Breath of Life just did. The hero is an alien while the heroine is human. So, you could imagine how their romance is like. Here's my review (link).

For the Roses was the first novel I bought when I was in college after a long hiatus from reading. What I love about the book was not only the romance between Mary Rose and Harrison, but also because of the brotherly love her 'brothers' have for her and for each other despite their differences. At the end of my reading, I thought I wanted brothers like Mary Rose's.
