    Should I start it again immediately? :wink:
    It took me a few chapters to get into it, but it was SO worth it. Read on, my friend! Read on!
    I just started it & am having a hard time getting into it. I will keep on going, though!

    I finished this book about a week ago and loved it. I know that it is on SM favorite list. The author is one of her favs. I also saw where people mentioned that it was hard to get into. Yes the first three and half chapters are a little slow but full of info needed for later on. I recommend everyone to read.

    3 1/2 chapters...OK. I'm not sure if I'm that far yet. I am having a hard time with it so far. I just got to the part where she shows up at her home w/ Ivan to meet her father. Should it get better soon?

    Someone on another thread recommended the Princess by Lori Wick (Christian, but not LDS author) to me. I read it and enjoyed it. I haven't found anything to compare to Twilight, but it was an uplifting and romantic read.

    Thanks to jen983 for the great siggy!

    Have you read the classics?

    Jane Eyre
    Pride & Prejudice
    Sense & Sensibility

    Also, Jan Karon's Mitford series is good, and has a G-rated romance theme through the series.

    Ah, I see y'all have discovered Enchantment by Orson Scott Card.

    Homebody & Treasure Box are also very good. He also wrote one of my very favorite books, Speaker for the Dead, but it's not a romance. Also while it stands on it's own, the story makes more sense if you read Ender's Game first.

    I'd recommend These Is My Words by Nancy Turner. There's a line in there something about "a kiss that will knock your bonnet off" but nothing is described too graphically! It took me awhile to get into it, but once I did, it was worth it.

    I just read A Measure of a Lady and thought it was excellent. There were 2 things about it the bothered me, but they were stricly plot related. But the romance was good...and very clean!
