Best Romance Novels

Welcome!

Are you looking for a great romance novel to read? This blog, in association with Best Romance Novels Today, is dedicated to posting the best romance novels we can find.

We scour the web, searching independent review sites for the best romance novels. We consider books from large publishers, and also gems from the small presses. Each book posted has earned at least one 5 star review from a respected reviewer. In addition, we check that novel's average star ranking on Amazon. If a book earns 5 stars from both sources, we post it here.

NOTE:
This month, finding books which have a 5 star review from a respected reviewer, plus averaging 5 stars on Amazon has been next to impossible to find. As a result, for the remainder of the month we'll post books which have received a 5 star review from a respected reviewer, and average 4 1/2 stars on Amazon, with a minimum of 20 posted reviews. These are fabulous books too, and we're looking forward to sharing them with you. Enjoy!
