As You Desire
1.  As You Desire by Connie Brockway
The list author says:
  "Friends to lovers story, with the most loveable and adorable protagonists."

4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (11 customer reviews)

Dreaming of You
2.  Dreaming of You by Lisa Kleypas

4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (19 customer reviews)

Passion (Berkley Sensation)
3.  Passion (Berkley Sensation) by Lisa Valdez
The list author says:
  "The sexiest and most melodramatically heart-wrenching story you'll ever read that DOESN'T cop-out by killing off a protagonist."
£4.98   Used & New from: £0.06
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (14 customer reviews)

The Secret Pearl
4.  The Secret Pearl by Mary Balogh
The list author says:
  "You haven't truly experienced a novel until you've read Mary Balogh. I wouldn't say The Secret Pearl is the best but sadly many of her best (her old signet regencies) are out of print."
£3.74   Used & New from: £0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (9 customer reviews)

Beyond Desire
5.  Beyond Desire by Emma Holly
The list author says:
  "Emma Holly is an incredibly talented author, whose abilities are most likely overlooked because of the genre she writes. Beyond Innocence and Beyond Seduction are both truly romantic and truly erotic."
£19.99   Used & New from: £1.76
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Shadow Touch
6.  Shadow Touch by Marjorie M. Liu
