Ten Favorite Light Romance
I’m hopping aboard the “Love Freebie” train today and linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl: February Love Freebie
“I LOVE a sweet romance!”
You’ll notice looking at this list that I love stories where romance is served as a SIDE. I adore romance when it’s served along with substantial content. That’s why I’m categorizing this list as “light” romance because the romance is not the main focus of the stories. It’s unlikely that these titles are actually shelved as “romance.”
Do you see any favorites?

I’m with you! I don’t mind romance, I just don’t want it to be the main plot. That’s not enough for me. I need more substantial content. I’ve only read one of the books you listed, although most of the others are on my TBR list.
Happy TTT!

I’m reading The Blue Castle now, and I’m loving it! What a great list — I’d like to read Radar Girls too, since I’ve read an earlier book by this author (The Lieutenant’s Nurse) and really enjoyed it.

I don’t think I have ever read a light Romance, although right now I am reading a cozy mystery which I don’t think is too far off.
