Romance Books

Romance books aren't always the smutty, trashy things people think they are. In fact, some romance books are actually good.

Romance Books

Fact or Fiction?

The romance books, we mean. There are some that are non-fiction, like Tom McKnight's Love Tactics. Books like this and others give dating advice, relationship advice, romance tips, etc. Most of these books are written by "experts" or at the very least psychologists. While they offer good advice that we all know we should take, it's often easier said than done. It's so hard to fight your emotions when you know you "should" break up with someone, but knowing and doing are two different things. The advice usually isn't bad advice, but if it's written by a so-called expert in the field, you have to wonder, after all--are any of us really experts when it comes to love?

Some romance books are actually romance novels. You can get into tricky territory here. There are at least three different kinds of romance novels: trashy, tasteful and period. Trashy ones are the ones that give all romance books a bad name. They're full of lusty behavior by the characters and they can get pretty graphic. It'll get you "all worked up" all right. But if you want a good love story, stick with Danielle Steele or Sandra Brown. These focus more on the love story itself and put a limit on being sexually explicit. Some of these authors do get a little bit graphic, but not so much that you'd consider them to write trashy romance novels. Finally, there are period romance books. These are love stories that take place in the 18th and 19th centuries, and most of them come in a series that follow the same characters through their lives.

So if you're looking for non-fiction romance books for advice, use your best judgement in determining what advice is realistic and useful for you. If you're looking for fiction, do whatever turns you on, so to speak.
