Romances?

Can anyone suggest a good romance that keeps you gripped all the way through? Because recently I keep on picking the wrong ones! I want one that will make me cry!
Can anyone help??

how about pinnochio or cinderella,beauty and the beast,those will make you ball.

here,the story of the greek goddess DIDO

a ghost of a woman,happilly ready to give birth.
tragedy befalls her,the child,her daughter,born only moments
after her death.
So the girl grows to wind up laughter through endless,arrays of books.
lost without a human to touch her woven guild
she stumbles into a library of ancients.
begins to read,learning only by a life that once had so captivated her.

*apologizes to Sindhu (where are you?) in advance:

The Far Pavilions and Trade Winds, both by M.M. Kaye.
Endless Love by Scott Spencer.
Wuthering Heights.

had to google for her name; i remember liking Kathleen E. Woodwiss. have you tried her stuff?

and it didn't make me cry, but i really enjoyed Love Me, Marietta by Jennifer Wilde. :thumbs_up.
it comes after Love's Tender Fury (but i read LMM first). haven't read the third book - didn't realize there was one. it's been a couple decades.

here's a review on amazon.com re: LTF: :)

"I have never enjoyed romance novels at all and so it was extremely surprising to me that this book appealed to me greatly when I read it over 26 years ago. I was a teen-age girl when I first read it and this book really made an impact on me! I really liked the fact that the heroine of the story was so independent and full of life"

I think that the love story running through 'Cannery Row' is beautiful; it's a romantic book. Is that the 'Endless Love' where he sets fire to the house? Seen the film - god is that a weepy!

that's the one!

OK. Thank you guys so much! Any other suggestions are welcome!

Just realised - I completely spoiled 'Endless Love'. Sorry!

that info's in amazon's review. and happens like, immediately! don't sweat it.

Margaret Mitchell: Gone With the Wind!!!! U couldn't pick a better one! U just can't let go of the book. At least I got SO much into the book. And cry I did also, ven thou I don't usually cry over books.

One of my favorites is "Sense and Sensibility" by Jane Austen. It has a tear jerker ending! :nod:

The bridge across forever by Richard Bach is a must read as said by many. Well I just wanted to know has someone got a a link or e-copy of this book. If yes, plz do post d link over here or send me.

I cried when I read the book Jany Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte. But hey, that's just me :p

Oh, I forgot to mention that its a good book. Well, I really enjoyed it. I dont know if you will though....

Has anyone read Wurthering Heights?? Im haf way through it and was just wondering if it's worth reading on!! DONT SPOIL THE ENDING THOUGH!! hehe, love you all xxxxx

WH is a good book; a must-read in my opinion especially if you are studying English Literature.

It is a must. An dark obsession story, rather than a love story.

How about "The Scarlet Pimpernel," by Baroness Orczy. It's also been made into a movie and a musical, I think.

Yeah didn't Richard E. Grant star in the television version?? I think I remember my mum drooling over the tele!!

The Age of Miracles by Catherine MacCoun.

Think of the moral dilemmas a nun (who's considered no less than a saint due to her miraculous powers of healing) have to deal with when she falls inlove with no less than a libertine troubadour. The story takes place in Medieval England.

I didn't see the Richard E. Grant version of "The Scarlet Pimpernel," but I remember the old film with Leslie Howard. I just looked up the musical-- yes, there is one. I think I'll check out the DVD of the production this weekend.

Why it's so romantic-- the main character secretly saves French families from the guillotine, while maintaining a dopey alter-ego to hide his identity. His wife isn't very impressed with her clumsy husband, but she's in love with the unknown, mysterious hero. I haven't read the book in awhile, but I remember swooning.. :)

Can "Great Expectation" make someone cry?

Another one that made me cry was, "Camille" by Alexander Dumas fils (the famous author's son). And the last 50 or so pages of "Les Miserables" got to me too.

Molko, Jane Eyre made me cry too, Don't worry it's not just you! Also I loved Hunchback of Notre Dame, it was a really sutble love story that made me cry and I've read it about 100 times since! My copy is falling apart! I love it!

One of the best i have read was Love Story by Erich Segal

Hi - I'd really recommend The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger it's absolutely brilliant, gripping and has me in tears every time I read it, in fact more each time I read it 'cos I know what's going to happen. Another great love story is Like Water for Chocolate (sometimes this is printed as Like Water for Hot Chocolate) by Laura Esquivel - another fantastic star-crossed lovers story.

Has anyone ever read a really good love story by a man? All the one's I can think of are by women authors.

I'm embaressed to admit i usually look to Jane Austen when in search of a lighter, more romantic novel. Shes really quite a good writer with a real talent for characterization and dialogue.

Kill me now, but I cried like an idiot over the ending of Phillip Pullman's "His Materials Trilogy".

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one who teared up during Jane Eyre!

My best friend's girl by Dorothy Koomson is a very nice romantic tear jerking story, I loved it.

I loved Braveheart by Randall Wallace. The love story between William and Murron is so touching. And oddly enough I see The Lord of the Rings as a love story is many different ways. Not necessarily a romance, but there are aspects of romance(found mostly in the Appendecies "Of Aragorn and Arwen"). But there is a love between the main characters of the Fellowship that I find incredibly touching. It made me cry. But if you want a genuine tear-jerker, Sense and Sensibility is a really good one.
*to be clear, its the love of friendship. I for one deny the alledged "homoerotic overtones" some people cite. (those are people who have never loved anyone when it didn't benefit them)

Oh yes, Time Travellers Wife was absolutely wonderful. Brilliantly written. My copy right now is on loan to a fellow teacher and oh my I miss it! Although I am a literature fanatic and don't usually read fiction, it was one piece of fiction that I could not put down. I highly recommend it!

This book shows unconditional love through it all...I cried a lot during this one...Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers...its the story of an abused girl who becomes a prostitute and the man who falls in love with her despite that...it changed my life
