Holiday Gift Guide: Romance

I'm doing something new this holiday season; I wanted to give book recommendations that would make good gifts!  So I'm going to pick themes  and list books that I think are the best of the best, making great gifts to the book lovers in your life!  I will preface this by stating most of my recommendations will be YA, so keep that in mind!

Books to Buy for the Romance Book Lover! 

While I listed contemporary books to buy, I like to think of those as the "problem" books, so in my head romances are separate.  I love a good romance book, and teen romances are so much more emotionally intense sometimes!  Below are some of the ones I especially like!

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins - My absolute favorite romance, how could anyone resist France, boarding school, and cute boys?

The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith - Perfection in a book, this is a whirlwind of romance from take off to landing!

The Fine Art of Truth or Dare by Melissa Jensen - I love the writing style in this book, and the romance is super sweet! Fine art and finer boys wait inside these pages.

Remembrance by Michelle Madow - This is one indie romance that I feel in love with.  Soul mates, bonds across time, and beautiful scenes make this story one amazing story!

Jenna & Jonah's Fauxmance by Emily Franklin & Brendan Halpin - A fake relationship just for the cameras. A blown cover.  A real chance at love.  Too cute and a must-have!

Love & Sex: Ten Stories of Truth edited by Michael Cart - A collection of the truth behind romance and emotions and sex.  A collection for each teen from some really great authors!

All I Need by Susan Colasanti - A summer romance turns into a true love moment, but can these two love birds survive the distance between them?  Very cute and sweet!

Serial Hottie by Kelly Oram - Want a little danger with your romance?  Then lay your hands on this because there may or may not be a murderer on the prowl and maybe he's the one!

The Espressologist by Kristina Springer - Want to know who's your "perfect match"?  Look no further than the Espressologist.  But while she can see love for others, she can;t see it for herself.  Super cute, and I love the coffee element!

Meant To Be by Lauren Morrill - A trip to London is just teeming with possibilities in this romance.  A 2012 debut, everyone's been talking about this amazing book!
