1. I'm interested in a novel in any genre with a good romance in it. The romance can be the central plot or only secondary, either is fine. I'm not interested in anything with explicit sex, but a fade to black or implied sex is all right. I also would like a story where the romance builds throughout instead of one where the characters jump from cold to hot immediately.

2. My second request is for recommendations of classic novels that have stood the test of time. If you loved the Three Musketeers, or Anna Karenina, or Great Expectations or anything like that, please recommend it. I love Austen, but otherwise don't quite know where to go.

Thanks so much!
