Best books to get / keep you in that Valentine mood

As a Novel junkie, I read all types of books. Since I can't be without a something to read (especially at night), on occasion I have had to pick up books by authors I normally wouldn't. Some may have covers that I, being a man, might feel a bit embarrassed to be seen reading - or even just purchasing. In any case I have found myself reading and enjoying a number of books I would categorize as 'sappy' or 'chick books.' Romance, yes... but not sex books. I HATE sex in books. Not sure why, I just hate it.


What I'm talking about here, are good novels - Crime, Mystery, Thriller, Adventure, 'Faction,' or even Action, as long as it has a flavor that leave one with a sense of being hugged, after reading it. Nora Roberts has a knack for doing this. I've read a bunch of her works, and there are a lot, not even counting what she's done under her alter-ego of 'J. D. Robb. Below, I'll list a couple books that I think fir the mold that we're discussing here, I hope you all will add to it by comments - And, hopefully, we help bring some Valentine's Day feeling to people.


Northern Lights - Nora Roberts
Midnight Bayou - Nora Roberts
Playing For Pizza - John Grisham
Dark Paradise - Tami Hoag
