Well, these novels are known for their light - heartedness. They offer an escape from the real world in a positive way. They usually have strong character development. In 'Red, White & Royal Blue', both characters grow as individuals while falling in love. The language used is often accessible and not overly flowery or difficult. The plots are centered around the relationship, with elements like first meetings, misunderstandings, and reconciliations. And they tend to promote positive values such as kindness, forgiveness, and the importance of communication in a relationship.
A really good clean contemporary romance is 'The Flatshare' by Beth O'Leary. In this book, Tiffy and Leon share a flat in an unconventional way, and as they communicate through post - it notes, they develop feelings for each other. It's a really cute and heart - felt story. Then there's 'One Day in December' by Josie Silver. It starts with a chance sighting on a bus and then follows the characters over time as they keep crossing paths and eventually fall in love. 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' by Jenny Han is also a popular choice. It's about Lara Jean and her love letters that accidentally get sent out, leading to a series of romantic entanglements.
Well, 'The Rosie Project' by Graeme Simsion is a good pick. The main character, Don, who has Asperger's, sets out on a project to find a wife. His journey with Rosie is both humorous and heartwarming. Additionally, 'One Day in December' by Josie Silver is a charming story of a girl who spots a guy on a bus stop and then they keep crossing paths in the most unexpected ways, and it all leads to a lovely romance.
For beginners, I'd suggest 'Beach Read'. The setting of the beach gives it a relaxing and inviting atmosphere. The two main characters' relationship development is well - paced and the writing is easy to understand. Also, 'Evvie Drake Starts Over' is a good choice. It doesn't have overly complicated plot twists or complex language, and it's a heartwarming story of new beginnings and love.
Most of them often have modern settings, like big cities or small - town America. For example, in 'Beach Read', the small - town by the beach is a key part of the story. They also usually deal with contemporary issues such as career choices and how it impacts relationships. In 'The Hating Game', the two main characters' careers play a role in their relationship. Another characteristic is that the characters are more diverse, representing different ethnicities, sexual orientations and personalities compared to older romance novels.
๐I recommend the following novels to you:
1. "Sound Your Voice: Only Your Wife Can Act Coquettishly" was about the female protagonist's struggle in the dubbing industry and her growth and progress with the male protagonist. It was also an inspirational book.
2. "A Female Firefighter Falling in Love with a Superstar" was about a female firefighter, Lin Yi, who loved her career as a firefighter. She loved to chase after celebrities, and as she chased after them, she fell in love with the superstar, Xi Chen. The emotional entanglement was very exciting.
3. "The Great God Who Lives in My Home" was about the rise of the female protagonist, Ruan Mianmian, in a parallel world. She became the top female author in the entertainment industry and was doted on by the big shots of the entertainment industry.
I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~๐
Well, from the 100 clean romance novels, 'Ella Enchanted' is a great pick. It has elements of fantasy along with a charming romance. The main character Ella is under a spell and her journey to break it while falling in love is really engaging. Then there's 'Austenland' which is all about a woman's adventure in a place dedicated to the world of Jane Austen's novels and she finds an unexpected romance there. And 'Me Before You' is a touching love story that doesn't rely on any vulgarity to convey deep emotions.
Well, 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover is a very popular contemporary romance novel. It deals with some heavy themes like domestic abuse in a relationship, which makes it a very impactful read. Hoover's writing is so engaging that it pulls you right into the story. Then there's 'The Kiss Quotient' by Helen Hoang. It has an autistic main character which brings a fresh perspective to the romance genre. And 'Pride and Prejudice' (although it was written a long time ago, it still has a huge influence on contemporary romance) by Jane Austen. The relationship between Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy is a classic example of slow - burn romance that many modern novels are inspired by.
'Red, White & Royal Blue' by Casey McQuiston is also quite funny. It's a story of a relationship between a prince and the First Son of the United States. The humor comes from their cultural differences and the chaos that ensues as they try to keep their relationship under wraps.
