"Her Reluctant Bodyguard is an amazing, compelling story about love, but most of all faith…faith in one’s self, faith in others and faith in God." -- AJ, Blackraven’s Reviews ...full book review

Alexa had never met a more exasperating man...

When English pop star Colin Radcliffe asks Alexa to write his biography and tour with him in Europe, she is thrilled—until she begins to receive death threats.

To her dismay, Colin puts her under the 24/7 protection of his Italian chief bodyguard, Jamison Constanzo—a man with whom she’s clashed from day one. If only she could spend more time with her perfect man, Colin, rather than spending all of her days with this black-hearted thorn in her side!

Alexa struggles to control her flip attitude toward Jamison. Why does opening up her heart to him feel almost as dangerous as dealing with the stalker’s threats? But when the killer strikes, Jamison is the only one she can turn to…

About Us

We scour the web, searching independent review sites for the best romance novels. We consider books from large publishers, and also gems from the small presses. Each book posted has earned at least one 5 star review from a respected reviewer. In addition, we check that novel's average star ranking on Amazon. If a book earns 5 stars from both sources, we post it here.

NOTE: Recently, finding books which have a 5 star review from a respected reviewer, plus averaging 5 stars on Amazon has been next to impossible to find. As a result, we'll also occasionally post books which have received both a 5 star review from a respected reviewer, and average 4 1/2 stars on Amazon, with a minimum of 20 posted reviews. These are fabulous books too, and we're looking forward to sharing them with you. Enjoy!

Posting Criteria for Authors

Posting criteria:

1. See above.

2. The book must be a non-erotic romance novel (from any publisher).

3. The novel must receive a five star review from one of the review sites listed on my website, http://www.bestromancenovelstoday.com/. Here is the link to the reviewer page.

4. The book must average 5 stars on Amazon. A minimum of four reviews is required, or I will consider books with two 5 star reviews, but only if both are from reviewers on the above list.

I look forward to posting more great romance novels!

Lasting Love
by Sharon A. Donovan

When Vermont florist Abbey Jordan’s nursery manager quits a few days before Easter, she is left up the proverbial creek without a paddle. However, when she places it in God’s hands, she finds lasting love in a garden of roses. Brady Jones has a daughter to raise, is out of work, and knows a lot about cultivating roses. When Abbey meets him and hires him as the Horticultural Manager of her nursery, it seems like the answer to both of their prayers. Just on the brink of a budding romance, a fire destroys the nursery and buries all hope of love. Will their passion spark and resurrect or stay unlit beneath the burning bed of ashes?

“This is a great little novelette, which can be read in a matter of minutes. It will restore your faith in things not seen.” – Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book …full review

"Ms. Donavan paints a beautiful portrait with words. I feel like this book is entertaining but it brings with it a lesson of forgiveness and love that I really needed to hear at this moment in my life. God is everywhere if we just take a moment to look. I give Lasting Love a You Need to Read rating because I really do feel that you would be missing out of something very special if you pass this book up." -- Val, You Gotta Read Reviews …full review

"I truly found this an exceptionally sweet story and very moving as well....Based on the dedication you will find that it is all true as is life itself and this has a bit of everything you can want, especially at Easter with life and its rebirth and resurrection." -- Lainey, Coffee Time Romance ...full review

“Ms. Green’s portrayal of the Commander was refreshing. He was kind and caring without being wimpy, and it takes a talented author to bring that out in a character without losing the effect of being a strong alpha warrior while keeping the reader's interest at the same time....THE COMMANDER'S DESIRE is definitely a keeper.” – Sheila Smith, Romance Reader at Heart …full review

Five Cupids
from Cupid's Library!

“A very nice play on my favorite Beauty And The Beast theme, THE COMMANDER'S DESIRE pairs a beautiful warrior-princess with an ugly giant who is a gentle dear underneath all that muscle. It is a touching and wonderful tale.” – Stephie, Cupid’s Library Reviews …full review
