    Many of these are the kinds of stories that would break my heart while I was reading them. I didn't include some that didn't resonate with me. They're all stories that would touch me. However, everyone's taste is different. But, as someone who's obsessed with historical romance novels, these are the only two contemporary romance novels I recommend on my bookshelf, both with over 100,000 reviews and still rated 9.5 – Their authority speaks for itself. However, if you're a serious fan of female leads, you can read one or two chapters to get a general idea and then start reading from around chapters four or five. But I don't recommend skipping chapters, because it's a logical issue. Okay, okay, I hope you enjoy reading! [Laughs]
