I need good characters and non cliche romance!

Watching with interest!

Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers might for the bill - I loved it. Or lots by Maggie O'Farrell

@Lancasterlassie , have you any favourites you’d recommend yourself? I’m trying to get the ball rolling but can’t even think of one. I enjoyed Dear Edward recently but that wasn’t romance.

Ah thanks @gubbinsy, I’ll look into it.

Lots by Milly Johnson. She's fab and down to earth.

I recommend A Spring Affair - it's about a woman who starts de-cluttering her house and realises that it's her life that needs changing...

Came on to say the same. Fantastic stories.

Elinor Lipman writes intelligent, snappy romances. My favourite is 'The Way Men Act', but they're all good.

The love hypothesis or Love on the brain by Ali hazelwood were great stories. Romance set in science settings with brainy female characters.

Grin I started the Love Hypothesis and it prompted me to start this thread with the emphasis on my desire for well written characters...i'm fine with it for a bit of fun though.
