27 Best Romance Novels of All Time

"If you were to ask any avid romance novel reader to name their favorite book of all time, it's unlikely you'll get a straight answer. Every year, thousands of diverse titles are released across sub-genres, including favorites like historicals, paranormal, erotica, and contemporary.
So as OprahMag.com's resident HEA enthusiast, I pulled together a list of the best romance novels anyone should read in their lifetime to narrow-in on the greats of the genre. The task is clearly a tall order, but I've done my best to compile the books and authors most often selected as favorites by my fellow readers in "Romancelandia." From forever classics like Jane Eyre to the queen of historical fiction, Beverly Jenkins, 21st century darlings like The Kiss Quotient, and bestselling series-turned Netflix breakout hit, Bridgerton, I hope there are options here to fit all tastes." -oprahmag
