Love stories for the thinking woman who wouldn’t have been impressed by a sparkly vampire anyway.

It can be tricky to tell stories about love and relationships elegantly. After all, matters of the heart can be messy affairs. Without a talented and focused writer, you’ll end up with a terrible love story very fast.

Books like 50 Shades of Grey and The Twilight Saga, have given romance novels more than just a bad name. Their popularity has spawned many more copycats that will leave you with the urge to claw your own face.

These cringeworthy novels are among the hundreds of romance novels being published each year. This makes it overwhelming to find a good love story, even though there are truly stellar ones out there.

If you’re looking to curl up with a heartwarming (or heart-wrenching) romance novel this week, we’ve done the hard work for you. Check out our gallery for our round up of 10 non-cringeworthy and well-written romance stories.
