My favorite is The Mortal Instruments series, just because there's sexual/romantic tension that is written so well.
ReplyDeletebreakkanamexd[at]aol[dot]com
My favorite is the Christine Feehan's Carpathian series, she makes everything so steamy!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Romance series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon, why? first it was the first series that totally got me hooked on the paranormal genre and second her writing is mindblowing and so addictive, she has all the elements I look for in a story, sarcasm, romance, drama/angst, and greek mythology(thats a extra plus for me)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Romance series is the fever series! just absolute love it because theres magick, faes but mostly JZB
ReplyDeleteIm not quite sure if its really a "Romance" Series, but i really like The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare and The House of Night Series by P.C. Cast. I feel like it's romance becuase the scenarios are really heart pumping (in my terms) and I indulge in the tension between the couples lol
ReplyDeleteYou guys are trully awesome for hosting this HUGE and generous giveaway!! Thank you so much for the chance to enter and win some cool prizes!!

My favorite romance series is Lara Adrian's Midnight Breed series. I'm a sucker for vampire series but this one has captivated me. There's just something about super sexy and seductive about alpha vamps.
Well, I usually don't like romance books, but Anna and the French Kiss was amazing! It had foreign culture, adventure, life lessons, unique and lovable characters and a very realistic romance. I would recommend it to anyone. :) Anyway, I just started following you for this big giveaway thing. Thanks for the chance at extra entries and please be so kind and follow me back! Thanks. <3

It's hard to say... But I think that my favorite serie is Vampire Academy!
ReplyDeleteRichelle Mead is just a genious! Totally addicted!

ReplyDeleteMaria (pronounced Mariah) I blame my mother…
It is really hard to pick only one of my favorite romancs...but I will go with JR Wards BDB it is in my top 5 for sure!
Thanks! mmafsmith at gmail dot com
My favorite romance series is the Anne series by Lucy Maud Montgomery. I like the series because it book is so different. Some will make you laugh, others will make you cry. It's pretty diversified but the main focus in all the books remains the same.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite romance series is Twilight!

I dont know that I can pick only one series. It really depends on what type I am in the mood for. But one of my favorite romance authors is Nora Roberts.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite romance series is Cole's Immortals After Dark, because she has Kick-ass heroines and sigh-worthy heroes.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite series is The Princes trilogy by Elizabeth Hoyt. I loved the first two books, and they're both on my keeper shelf.
ReplyDeleteI don't have one but I'm always on the look out for one to start :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I don't really enjoy straight romance books all that much, because I need something with more than a plot. But if I had to speak about anything romance at all, I always did enjoy Nora Roberts quite a bit. Now, if you're talking about romance in any kind of genre of books in a series - then I'd have to go with The Vampire Academy, for Rose/Adrian. :)
ReplyDeleteSuz @ A Soul Unsung
My favorite romance series? I read paranormal romance mainly but CL Wilson's Tairen series to me was a very romantic series.

I love the Shopaholic series ... Becky does not only love shopping but her hubby too :-D !

My favorite romance series is Ranma 1/2. It was a long-running romantic comedy manga series, and it's my favorite because the writing was outstanding and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhat's your favorite romance series and why?:
ReplyDeleteThis is so difficult. I'd have to say "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" by Tanigawa Nagaru (the actual novel series and not the anime/manga). Why? Because aside from the absolutely hilarious misadventures Haruhi leads everyone on, the romance between her and Kyon is so subtle that you don't realize (and they don't realize!) that they like each other until midway through the entire series (book 4 or 5-ish, so far). I love authors who can do that.

I don't really read much of the romance genre...everything I do read has a paranormal twist. I'd say the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series, minus some of the later books lol
ReplyDeleteTwilight=)

There is a ton of series i love but i don't think any of it qualifies as simply Romance, but here are a few favs; The Sookie Stackhouse series, The Vampire Acadamy series, Twilight, The soul Screamers...just to name a few.
ReplyDeleteOh, I don't know. I usually read books that are romance and something else, ie any of Richelle Mead's (which are sort of my favourite romance series). I really like Olivia Cunning's Sinners on Tour series.
ReplyDeleteThis giveaway is awesome :)

I think right now my favorite romance series is Lydia Dare's Westfield Wolves series. Those wolves are just sooo hot.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway!

ReplyDeleteOne favorite is so very hard. I'll say that Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series , Sue Ellen Welfonder's Highlanders are 2 of my favorites.
Along with Ward's BDB, Cole's Immortals After Dark and Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunters. Love them all :)

My favorite romance series is The Dark Hunter Series by Sherrilyn Kenyon because they are bad boys, and sometimes girls that will protect their better halves till their last breath.

Vampire Academy!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite has always been Vampire Academy it is what got me into reading I love Rose and Dimitri! Great giveaway thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteDoes it *haaave* to be a series? Because I adore The Time Traveler's Wife. Honestly, I haven't read much romance. One of the Philippa Gregory books and the first of the Sookie series but I've been catching up on my fantasy!
ReplyDeleteUmm, favorite romance series.. let's see. I haven't read many, so I'll pick KMM's Highlander series. I enjoyed those books even though I didn't think I would ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Mickey @ imabookshark
I have many favorites! MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series (super funny!), Laurell K Hamilton's Merry Gentry and Anita's series (super creative/hot) and Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunters (super hot and has mythology/lots of action in them!). ;)
ReplyDeletethanks!

I would say twilight because it's the only series that pops in my mind right now.. the others are just single books :)
ReplyDeleteFavorite romance series. Not totally romance. But i'd say vampire academy!
ReplyDeleteFave romance series? Probably Twilight, since my actual answer is not exactly a series
ReplyDeleteI have quite a few romance series that I love and always buy the books. It's hard for me to pick one series but I guess I'll say the Dark Hunters by Sherrilyn Kenyon.

My favorite is Anne Stuart Ice series. Because she writes great romantic suspense with really dark brooding bad boy heroes.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that I've really read a romance series...hmm....I really like Jenny B. Jones chick lit books. I hope that counts. :)

My favourite romance series is the Psy/Changeling series by Nalini Singh.
ReplyDeleteIf you can call The Iron Fey series a romance, then that's my pick! LOL I love Ash.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite romance series is Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling series because she focuses on shifters and her writing never fails to awe me.
