Can you recommend some romance novels that describe how friends become lovers?

One great example is 'The Rosie Project' by Graeme Simsion. It tells the story of a genetics professor who sets out on a quest to find a wife but ends up falling for his best friend, Rosie. The characters are endearing and the journey from friendship to love is both funny and heartwarming.

Yes, I recommend the novel Loving You Becomes My Last Secret to you. It's about the process of the female protagonist and the male protagonist turning from strangers to friends and then to lovers. The plot of this novel was full of ups and downs, the characters were vivid, and the details were well portrayed. It was very popular among readers. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah!

You might enjoy 'Love's Hidden Path.' In this story, the protagonists' friendship undergoes a transformation as they navigate life's challenges and discover love in each other.

A wonderful 'friends turned lovers' romance novel is 'Roomies' by Christina Lauren. It's about a girl who needs to get married quickly for visa reasons and her friend who offers to marry her. As they go through the process, their friendship transforms into love. 'The Kiss Quotient' by Helen Hoang also has some elements of this. The main character hires a male escort, who becomes her friend first and then they fall in love. Additionally, 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen can be considered in this category. Elizabeth and Darcy start off as not really liking each other but they have a sort of underlying connection due to their social circles, and over time their relationship changes from a rather antagonistic one to a loving one which started from a form of friendship.

One popular 'best friends to lovers' romance novel is 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne. It's a story of two coworkers who start off as enemies but have a best - friend - like banter and eventually fall in love. Another great one is 'Fangirl' by Rainbow Rowell, where the main character Cath has a best friend who she develops deeper feelings for. And 'Attachments' by Rainbow Rowell as well, it has a really sweet story of two people who are friends and then more.

Well, I know a story. A boy and a girl were friends in college. They were part of the same study group. As they spent more time studying and preparing for exams together, they got to know each other better. One evening, while walking on campus, the boy saw the girl in a different light. He confessed his feelings and she felt the same way. And so they transitioned from friends to lovers.

One common theme is the element of surprise. Often, the characters themselves are shocked when they start to feel romantic feelings for their friend. For example, in many novels, they might be in denial at first, thinking it's just a passing phase.

Well, 'Anne of Green Gables' has some undertones of this. Gilbert and Anne were childhood acquaintances and as they grew up, their relationship developed into a deep and abiding love. Also, 'Second Chance Summer' by Morgan Matson. It's about a girl who returns to her hometown and reconnects with a childhood friend, leading to a beautiful romantic story. And 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' trilogy by Jenny Han is also about a girl and her relationship with two brothers who were her childhood friends, which has a lot of sweet and angsty romantic moments.

'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' by Jenny Han also fits this theme. Lara Jean writes love letters to all her past crushes which accidentally get sent out. Her relationship with her childhood friend Peter Kavinsky evolves into a romantic one. It's a sweet story about young love emerging from a long - standing friendship.

Here's another story. Jake and Matt were gym buddies. They trained together every day. They shared their dreams and fears. One evening after a really tough workout, Matt got injured. Jake took care of him at his place. During that time, they got really close emotionally. They started to notice the little things about each other that they loved. It didn't take long for them to realize they were in love and transitioned from friends to lovers.
