Does anyone know of any Romance novels that take place in Russia?

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009
Terri asked:


I would like to find romance novels that take place in Russia before the Revolution of 1917. I’ve read the classics such as Dr Zhivago, Anne Karin, and Onegin but I want to read something more recent and of a more romantic nature, rather than classic novels.

Please explain to me the difference between romance novels and ****?

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
Magic 8 Ball “8 BILF” asked:


I know that many women read romance novels, and many men look at ****. I don’t see men on here asking to get their wives off of the literary sex, so I was wondering: is there a difference to you? Thanks in advance!

Oh, just as an aside, I in my house, we don’t care for romance novels or porn, so this is purely out of curiosity.

I love historical romance novels especially ones written by Judith McNaught. I’ve pretty much read all her books and I want to find other authors who write like her and in that same period. Thanks for the help in advance :)

What are the seven (7) or so basic plotlines in all romance novels?

Thursday, March 19th, 2009
FYRE & REIGN asked:


I was just writing to a friend and, as I recall it, there’s like 7 basic (cliche) plotlines used in most romance novels such as “the poor but beautiful governess falls in love with the grouchy but actually wonderful master of the house.” (Used in Jane Eyre and countless Harlequin romance novels.) Can you name any?

Can you recommend some good historical romance novels?

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
Taryn asked:


I’ll admit that I’m a historical romance junkie. I’ve read many of Susan Johnson’s novels and I’ve dabbled in Beatrice Small’s works.

However, I am not looking for intense conflicts and disturbing deaths (hint - Small’s novels), but rather a fluffy, light book with more love scenes than problem scenes. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What is the general structure of romance novels?

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009
Blank Page asked:


I am looking to write my first mostly romance story during NaNoWriMo, so I am planning it now. It will be a fantasy romance.

However, I don’t read much romance. I have only read two romance novels in my entire life, so I’m not as sure about the structure. From what I can tell, the man and woman usually get stuck together for some reason (and it will be a heterosexual novel) but they don’t actually like each other very much. During the time they’re stuck together, they fall in love but are prevented from being together for some reason, usually relating to the reason they are together in the first place. Then they overcome whatever is keeping them apart (so to speak) and they can be together.

Is that the gist of it? Can anyone elaborate further to give me a more detailed explanation?
NaNaWriMo, in case you don’t know, stands for National Novel Writing Month. It is a competition that takes place during the month of November, and writers try to create a 50,000 word novel in 30 days.
