RESULTS:

A. If you scored mostly A’s, then you are a contemporary romance reader. You like your romance novels without too many frills—you can take or leave time travel, but you love a good will-they-or-won’t-they story. We suggest Nicholas Sparks’ classic The Notebook or Waiting on You by Kristan Higgins.

B. If you chose mostly B’s, you’re a Regency romance reader. You’re fascinated by the early 19th century, and you like your romance novels classic and refined. Check out Rogue With a Brogue bySuzanne Enoch or When the Duke Was Wicked by Lorraine Heath.

C. If C was your most common answer, you’re an Amish romance reader. Forget crazy parties and glamorous dates: You like a G-rated love story that focuses on the people and ditches the distractions. You might like The Scent of Cherry Blossoms by Cindy Woodsmall or A Simple Winter by Rosalind Lauer.

D. If you stuck with mostly D’s, you are a paranormal romance reader. You like to run with a tough crowd of vampires and werewolves, and can’t be tied down by a silly thing like time. For you, romance is that much sweeter when it is literally unbelievable. We think you’ll love Insatiable by Meg Cabot orDarkfever by Karen Marie Moning.
