    Recommend Fantasy Romance - NOT TEEN!

    I loved loved the Sookie series. Maybe because it was not about teenagers still in school going to their classes all the time. Since then I've tried Fallen and Vampire Academy but I'm not into them at all. Can you recommend some good ones where the main characters are a little older and not still in school?

    Crosstitch - or really anything by Diana Gabaldon.

    Also Fiona McIntosh is good for a bit of romance with your fantasy.

    DH reckons The Axis Trilogy (1st novel is called Battleaxe) is a good one for romance too.

    Anything by Anne Bishop or Jacqueline Carey or Trudi Canavan - they've all got trilogies

    Guy Gavriel Kay writes some great ones too

    Paullina Simmons - The Bronze Horseman series
    Was that the one with all the war?

    I have loved all PS books up until that one. I just wanted to smack the main character in the head

    Maybe I'm not very good at romance? To me this chick was just INSUFFERABLE. I love the Sookie series too.

    If you can cancel it do - I am MORE THAN HAPPY to send you my copy xoxoxo

    I love them!

    I've loved most but not all of PS's books, but really liked those ones ... but I guess not everyone is going to like the same things

    And I love most everything from Marian Keyes.
