Daphne du Maurier’s 1941 Frenchman’s Creek can be described as a swashbuckling romance novel. Basically a bodice-ripper with some adventure and good suspense. If you like the sound of that combination you'll like it. It is insanely romantic.

I had no idea that Peter O'Donnell, the creator and writer of the Modesty Blaise comics and novels, wrote a stack of gothic romance novels under the name Madeleine Brent. And won romance fiction awards for them!

It's finally cold enough to start wearing the Norwegian-inspired sweater I knitted last year, and I can't say I'm too upset about that! (Especially fitting today, as I'm editing my second WW2 romance which is partly set in Norway.)

Florence Stonebreaker's Reno Tramp (1950) is one of those salacious sensational American sex and sin pulp novels that were so popular in the 50s. At the time they were considered to be very racy indeed although today they obviously seem very very tame. It's like a combination of noir and romance fiction with a grown-up attitude towards sex. Highly entertaining.

Mal gucken, ob das auf Mastodon auch funktioniert: Ich bin auf der Suche nach Buchempfehlungen für #romancefiction (nicht arbeitsbezogen - möchte einfach mal wieder was richtig Tolles nur zum Spaß lesen).

Und zwar hätte ich gern:

📖 Chemistry wie bei Delena in #TheVampireDiaries
📖 Erwachsene Protagonist*innen mit erwachsenen Problemen
📖 Fantasy oder SF ist ein Plus, aber kein Muss

Habt ihr Empfehlungen? Freue mich über alles, was bei mir ankommt 😊 #Buchempfehlungen #Buchtipps #Romantasy
