  5. My favorite Romance series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, why? first it was the first series that totally got me hooked on the paranormal genre and second her writing is mindblowing and so addictive, she has all the elements I look for in a story, sarcasm, romance, drama/angst, and greek mythology(thats a extra plus for me)

  6. My favorite Romance series is the fever series! just absolute love it because theres magick, faes but mostly JZB

  7. Im not quite sure if its really a "Romance" Series, but i really like The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare and The House of Night Series by P.C. Cast. I feel like it's romance becuase the scenarios are really heart pumping (in my terms) and I indulge in the tension between the couples lol

    You guys are trully awesome for hosting this HUGE and generous giveaway!! Thank you so much for the chance to enter and win some cool prizes!!

    My favorite romance series is Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series. I'm a sucker for vampire series but this one has captivated me. There's just something about super sexy and seductive about alpha vamps.

  10. Well, I usually don't like romance books, but Anna and the French Kiss was amazing! It had foreign culture, adventure, life lessons, unique and lovable characters and a very realistic romance. I would recommend it to anyone. :) Anyway, I just started following you for this big giveaway thing. Thanks for the chance at extra entries and please be so kind and follow me back! Thanks. <3

  14. My favorite romance series is the Anne series by Lucy Maud Montgomery. I like the series because it book is so different. Some will make you laugh, others will make you cry. It's pretty diversified but the main focus in all the books remains the same.

  15. My favorite romance series is Twilight!

  16. I dont know that I can pick only one series. It really depends on what type I am in the mood for. But one of my favorite romance authors is Nora Roberts.

    ReplyDelete
  17. My favorite romance series is Cole's Immortals After Dark, because she has Kick-ass heroines and sigh-worthy heroes.

    ReplyDelete
  18. My favorite series is The Princes trilogy by Elizabeth Hoyt. I loved the first two books, and they're both on my keeper shelf.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I don't have one but I'm always on the look out for one to start :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Honestly, I don't really enjoy straight romance books all that much, because I need something with more than a plot. But if I had to speak about anything romance at all, I always did enjoy Nora Roberts quite a bit. Now, if you're talking about romance in any kind of genre of books in a series - then I'd have to go with The Vampire Academy, for Rose/Adrian. :)

  21. My favorite romance series? I read paranormal romance mainly but CL Wilson's Tairen series to me was a very romantic series.

  22. I love the Shopaholic series ... Becky does not only love shopping but her hubby too :-D !

  23. My favorite romance series is Ranma 1/2. It was a long-running romantic comedy manga series, and it's my favorite because the writing was outstanding and hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  24. What's your favorite romance series and why?:

    This is so difficult. I'd have to say "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" by Tanigawa Nagaru (the actual novel series and not the anime/manga). Why? Because aside from the absolutely hilarious misadventures Haruhi leads everyone on, the romance between her and Kyon is so subtle that you don't realize (and they don't realize!) that they like each other until midway through the entire series (book 4 or 5-ish, so far). I love authors who can do that.

  25. I don't really read much of the romance genre...everything I do read has a paranormal twist. I'd say the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, minus some of the later books lol

  26. Twilight=)

  28. There is a ton of series i love but i don't think any of it qualifies as simply Romance, but here are a few favs; The Sookie Stackhouse series, The Vampire Acadamy series, Twilight, The soul Screamers...just to name a few.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh, I don't know. I usually read books that are romance and something else, ie any of Richelle Mead's (which are sort of my favourite romance series). I really like Olivia Cunning's Sinners on Tour series.
    This giveaway is awesome :)

    One favorite is so very hard. I'll say that Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series , Sue Ellen Welfonder's Highlanders are 2 of my favorites.
    Along with Ward's BDB, Cole's Immortals After Dark and Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters. Love them all :)

    My favorite romance series would be J.R.Wards Black Dagger Brotherhood because all the books a standalone paranormal romances. These books are hot, interesting and wellwritten.
