Three of the best romantic movies

Why not watch a romantic movie with your beau this weekend? Here are three of the best, curated by the Lovrime review team.

Notting Hill (1999)

A romance movie list without Julia Roberts is asinine. While it might be easy to fall back on Pretty Woman, the nuanced and sometimes unbelievable story between a commoner and a movie starlet is near the top of Roberts’s heap of films.

The Notebook (2004)

Read me this story, and I’ll find you.Damn. Nicholas Sparks is cheesy and oftentimes over the top, but The Notebook is a romantic story of love that just beautiful enough that it transcends all of the cheesiness it takes to tell it.

West Side Story (1961)

It’s the quintessential movie musical, but it’s also still unfortunately relevant for our times. Two teens, torn apart by their attachment to rival gangs, fall in love for it all to end in tragedy. The film is currently being remade, but it’s hard to beat the original.

One romance author to read now

If you love historical romance then be sure to check out the romance novels by Julianne MacLean. Here is a quick summary of the author and a few books, curated by the Lovrime review team.

Julianne MacLean writes primarily historical romance, though she’s also branched out into contemporary on occasion. She’s best known for her American Heiress and Pembroke Palace series, which are sure to please fans of Downton Abbey and other early 20th century tales. Check out her excellent Highlander trilogy: a slow, sexy burn that includes Captured by the Highlander, Claimed by the Highlander, and Seduced by the Highlander.

Must-read: Color of Heaven #1

MacLean’s Color of Heaven series doesn’t exactly represent her larger body of work. However, it’s a good entry point for new readers — if also quite an emotional one.

The Color of Heaven follows Sophie Duncan, a woman whose life goes off the rails when her daughter is diagnosed with leukemia and her husband cheats on her. But after a terrible accident, Sophie’s eyes open to everything she does still have, and she embarks on a newly buoyant journey of life, love, and revelation.
