Itâs generally agreed upon that romance novels are a little trashy. For most of us, they conjure up images of bon-bon eating spinsters, Fabio, and mobile homes filled to the brim with cats and cigarette smoke. Or maybe thatâs just me.
All the same, even those of us who donât enjoy curling up with the latest Silhouette bodice-ripper can appreciate their cheesy, often comical titles. Below, we offer a few of the best.
10. The Viscount in Her Bedroom - This is the story of Simon, the strikingly handsome but blind viscount who falls in love with Louisa because she smells good and lets him do things that blind men donât always get to do. An instant classic. And in case you were wondering, a viscount is a member of British nobility who ranks above a baron but below an earl.
9. Undead & Unwed - This one is a little too convoluted for a quick summary. A former model/unemployed secretary dies and somehow becomes a vampire who isnât subject to the usual vampire limitations. Somewhere along the way, sheâs abducted by a tacky 500-year-old vampire and teams up with a hot but perverted âgoodâ vampire/love interest.
8. Code Name: Bikini - A Navy SEAL is guarding top-secret tissue samples on a luxury cruise to Mexico. Villainy, romance, and bikinis abound.
6. Size 12 is Not Fat - This is the story of a 28-year-old former teen pop star who has gained a few pounds. Now, sheâs working at a university, looking for love, and solving mysteries about mysterious deaths in campus elevators. If this is your kind of thing, donât miss the sequel, âSize 14 Is Not Fat Eitherâ.
5. Annie, Get Your Groom - This one sounds more like a romantic comedy than a typical romance, but the title is too funny to pass up. Itâs about a single guy whose father wants nothing more than to see him married. Rather than looking for the love of his life, he enlists the aid of a woman to become the âfiancée from hellâ. As youâd expect, he falls in love with her.
4. Love, Honor, & a Pregnant Bride - One Amazon.com reader describes this one as follows: âThis story has it all: a strong, sexy, stubborn cowboy hero, a sweet-but- determined heroine, and loads of passion and emotion under a Texas sky. You'll love watching Jud and Mariah kiss and battle their way through this book.â
3. Every Boyâs Got One - A heart, of course. This is the elopement journal of a couple, their best man, and maid of honor as they travel through the Italian countryside.
2. Expecting His Brotherâs Baby - This actually isnât as strange as it sounds. When a womanâs husband dies, she takes comfort in his surviving brother. As she is falling in love with him, she learns that sheâs expecting her dead husbandâs child.
1. The Bride Wore Spurs - Lacey the heroine has spent most of her life in an Irish insane asylum, so sheâs pretty excited about moving to Wyoming with her friend, the mail-order bride. She figures she can marry one of the new husband's friends if everything goes well. The friend turns out to be a Native American rancher who must then âeducateâ her on her wifely duties.
Honorable Mention:
The Amazing Tales of Wildcat Arrows - We donât know what this oneâs about, but itâs worth a mention for the cover alone. While most romance novels feature picturesque scenes or muscular heroes for their covers, this author decided to go the DIY route. Her âheroâ looks like a possessed yokel, and the magical thing on his head is tragic at best.
hey i wanted a book with sex and love and what teenagers goes threw ??
or a book where a step sister falls in love with her step brother.
