Romance : top book in the genre

The kiss was intense. It felt like we had both lost our heads and no longer understood what we were doing. I only came back to my senses when I felt the lecturer’s lips on my neck. He held my waist tightly and slowly—so gently—covered my collarbones with kisses. Unable to hold back, I tilted my head and gripped his shoulders. That seemed to bring him back to reality. Roman pulled away abruptly and leaned back against the seat. “I’m sorry,” he breathed. “I had no right. I think you should go home now.” Home? Was he mocking me? I’d been dreaming about kissing him for more than two months. And just when it felt like my dream was finally coming true, he pushed me away. “Please, sweetheart, just go home,” Roma repeated, seeing me open my mouth, ready to argue.

He wants me to play the role of his girlfriend in front of my parents, and I decide not to let him get away with it. Why not let him be my fiancé for a few days? What a great idea!

What does a woman need to be happy? To love and be loved? Yes, and also for your man to look at you with adoration, not looking for flaws and not dreaming of remaking you to the standards of modern beauty, because you are the only one and the most desirable for him; so that you can lean on his caring shoulder and sometimes feel weak and small next to him, enjoying his attention and tenderness. When I got married, I thought I would be happy. But my heart was wrong... And now I don't know if I have the courage to trust my feelings again, because this guy is ready to go all in, and his frankness leaves me speechless every time, dumbfounded by his charisma, sharp mind and unsurpassed humor.

How can I not lose my mind now, when that same subordinate appears before my eyes every day and so strongly resembles that stranger who doesn’t leave my thoughts?

I have always dreamed of singing. I took part in competitions, but never managed to become famous. When I was invited to America to become a member of a famous band, I realized that I shouldn't miss this chance. But what would happen to me in a place with completely different rules? My path to recognition will not be easy, and I will realize this as soon as I cross the threshold of my new home. A new life, new friends, and a lot of people who will be against me. I promised myself not to give up, because I still have to light my own star. But there is one thing... I will be singing in a boy band, and its frontman will become my worst enemy. Or my greatest love... More emotions, secrets, and feelings

My first love has left a bitter taste on my lips... Seven long years have passed, and I can't forget you... Your voice, your eyes, your touch - everything feels as if you are near, as if there was no gap of years between us. I'm afraid and at the same time eager to see you again. I know you hate me, and you have every right to. I betrayed you, although I realize that there was no other choice. But you don't know my biggest secret yet. Our son... who calls another man his dad. My soul has been hurting and bleeding all these years. I didn't want it to be like this, and I don't know how to fix it...

— Why did you do it? — she asks nervously. — I could ask you the same, but I won’t. Not interested. — Are you going to take everything from me? — her lips twist as if in pain. — No, I’ll return what you stole — your peace. — Peace has nothing to do with this. You came to get revenge, didn’t you? But I have to disappoint you — it won’t work, — she lifts her chin defiantly. — Revenge on the one you loved, who betrayed you? Do you think that’s enough to get your life back? — Loved?! — she shouts. — What you did says otherwise. I will never forgive you. — Good, at least our intentions align there. Any more questions, claims, accusations? — I hate you! — she hides her tear-filled eyes and storms out of the office.

— Didn’t know I’m a co-owner? — he’s surprised. — It’s public information. — I can leave, — I hold myself from looking down. — That’s not a problem. — It’s enough that you showed up again, — he smirks. Before me is a complete stranger. Indifferent. Cold. Only his appearance reminds me of who he once was. — If we don’t remember the past, it won’t bother us. — And can you stop remembering, Sa-sha? — I hiss through my teeth. — Yes, — there’s a tremble in my voice, but I nod firmly. — Fine, — he stands up. — Get to work, — he says, leaving me to stew in memories... They will probably never fade. I will never be able to breathe freely. I will never soar on the wings he broke...

A new city, a good job, and the absence of control—that was all I wanted. I calmed down, let the situation go, and forgot about that unpleasant incident. But as it turned out, fate had other plans. And in my case, it feels more and more like a bad joke. So what am I supposed to do now, when the man I was never able to forget is standing right in front of me? Give in—or go against it once again?

All my conscious life, I wanted to break free from control—to speak up at least sometimes. To have a choice… my own choice. Not to listen to other people’s advice. To live my own life, make decisions, study, build friendships, dream, love… I longed for independence so deeply that I failed to notice when those desires turned against me. Sadly, I was the one who took a step whose consequences I can now only guess at.

When the trembling sensations of first love are seasoned with doubt, fragile trust dissolves. When awkwardness plays into the hands of others, and unshakable confidence shatters under convincing lies, all you want to do is scream. From pain, injustice, despair—and a love that not even time was able to destroy. Yet it takes only a single step to feel that absolute moment of happiness again. Will they dare?

I fade on the threshold of the living room, my feet grew to the floor. The glass from the broken vase was scattered on the parquet, small fragments sparkle in the light of the morning sun - so contrasting, so wrong. The power has lowered shoulders. Hands shake. He stands, staring at the place on the wall where a second ago was a vase, and breathes hard, torn as after running. I take a step forward, unconsciously. He hears me and suddenly rotates. Our views meet, and I understand: now he is fighting with himself. And I am very sorry. - I want you to hear nothing well, - says cold. - But ... - Miro, this is not a request - his look cuts me into pieces. I remember what Vlad was yesterday. As he kissed me. As he smiled. Now a completely different person in front of me. Broken, wounded and slig
