Books are an amazing thing. You open the gutter, and there is another world populated by bright heroes, interesting events, living designs. And what pleases most lovers of literature, is that with the change of centuries it also changes, grows, transforms.
As for romantic stories, then, perhaps, there is nothing better than on a pleasant cool evening or on a hot summer day to get over the books from the series "Modern Romance Novels" and enjoy the intrigue that the author asked. Authors such as Judith McNaught, Joanna Langton, Bertris Small, Catherine Wilmont and others work in this genre.
Love story genre
A love affair is perhaps one of those types of literary works in which you can work forever, since the muse will never leave the author. After all, so much beauty around us is associated with tender feelings! The authors draw inspiration from the life that surrounds them. In the center of events are two people, potential lovers, their experiences, emotions and relationships. With the writer's light hand, fate prepares for the heroes tipping lines, hard trials and emergencies. But the characters skillfully cope with difficult situations and, having overcome all obstacles, remain together.
Modern short love affairs are distinguished by their immortal pursuit of a better and brighter future. They open new horizons for the reader in a country of dreams and fantasies. Such books are easily perceived, because they do not carry a semantic load, such as detective stories or mysticism. In the novel, the reader is familiar with all the details, so you don’t have to spend energy on pondering. This allows a deeper understanding of the plot proposed by the author.
Fashion for books with a female "character"
Romance novels are one of the most popular literary genres. Such a colossal number of works is not in other directions. Stories about hearty adventures can penetrate other subgenres, such as science fiction, mysticism, fantasy.
The beginning of the tradition of writing stories with tender feelings by the Englishwoman Jane Austen back in the early distant 1800s. After her novel Pride and Prejudice with the unrivaled Mr. Darcy and the charming Elizabeth Bennett, the world of literature turned upside down. One of the first exalted stories is read so far. But modern romance novels may surprise the reader!

Read online cheaply, conveniently and fashionably. On the Internet there are libraries with books and even ratings of works, both according to critics and readers' reviews.
The problem of disposable books
Of course, even the average reader knows that only one work out of a thousand will want to be re-read again. Modern romance novels, often shallow both in content and in character, are absolutely predictable, many scenes in them are copied from other books. They do not strike with the harmony of language, jokes are unsuccessful, plots are commonplace. But who said that every book should excite the imagination and make the heroes envy? Modern short love affairs are usually swallowed in one night. Nevertheless, they excite and leave a pleasant impression.
The authors of modern romance novels are mostly women who write for the beautiful half of humanity. Some of them create masterpieces. One-night romance is definitely not the business of Judith McNaught. She, the author of more than 17 love affairs, writes in such a way that it is impossible to break away. Her work, “Perfection itself,” leads all possible ratings. In the novel, the main character Julia, the adopted daughter of a priest, fate brings with the dangerous killer Zach. A criminal abducts a girl, spends several days with her and falls in love. Julia reciprocates. When Zack releases her, she betrays him and begins to work with the police. Meanwhile, it is becoming known that Zack, who was accused of murder, is innocent. Can he forgive his beloved? You will find out if you read the novel.

Erotic note for housewives
Modern romance novels do not shy away from erotic stories. Due to frank moments, the authors not only increase the price of intrigue, but also attract lovers of “sex on the pages”. Such, for example, is the scandalous novel by E. L. James "50 shades of gray." This work takes pride of place in the ranking of "Modern love stories about students and for students."
The inconspicuous Ana Steele, a student and a modest woman, accidentally met with the attractive, mysterious and indecently rich Christian Gray. And it began ... Gray's abnormal tastes show the girl a new world in love practice. The book is to be read already only because it opens new horizons in knowledge.
The novels mentioned above also contain explicit scenes. In Russia, the public is not alien to the genre of love-erotic work.
Cliche of novels
Romantic literature has been around for more than two hundred years, but writers, all as one, write their works under the cliche. Modern love stories about students, ordinary workers, business magnates have one thing in common - the main characters. Usually this is a kind and decent girl with a proud character and a cold, strange, detached guy. Remember the books of Stephanie Meyer and her Isabella Swan and Edward Calen ... Mrs. Steele and Mr. Gray - the heroes of “50 shades of gray” - have the same situation. It is very difficult for writers to move away from familiar images, and this is good, because it is precisely such characters that the reader is used to.
Those who read will always be one step ahead of those who watch television. The book creates its own opinion, makes the brain work, checks the depth of consciousness and imagination. And romance novels are no exception, because they excite interest in the most important thing in the life of every person - in love.
