Any suggestions on books about couples who dated or liked each other in the past and got back together again?

High School sweethearts or the one event/night they had but don't hook up until later in life?

I would like to find a book with an older couple romance in it where they found each other later in life to.

any suggestions?

In answer to your second query, older couple the first one that springs to my mind is my favourite book by author Robin Schone.

Francis is a grandmother in Victorian times. she is widowed and her children moved away. Only in her late forty's she feels she has time to find herself and moves to London where she meets a lawyer her own age. For me a very moving and realistic well written story. It is an adult read and rather hot in places, but the story is the main part.

Kristen Ashley has a few. For You, Golden Trail, Creed

Mostly due to the "Big Misunderstanding".

Also, Hold On to Me, Tallchief, Not Another Bad Date, Slow Hands, Return To Me

The Virgin River Series by Robyn Carr is full of these type of scenarios. There are heaps of books and are probably best read in order... basically Virgin River is a town where ex-marines have settled after their tours of duty have finished and how they find the loves of their lives. It's pure romantic escapism, medium heat level but there's misunderstandings, second chance love, teen love, couples that break up and re-unite and each story builds on the whole character of the town and its people. Book one is

I have a lot of this author in my stack of books to, I'll have to check them out. Do they have to be read in a certain order to stay with the story?

Thank you ladies! I've added some of all of your selections to my TBR list!

Lisa Kay, 2nd chance at were the words I was trying to come up with when I posted this and I couldn't think of them! Also, your bookshelfs are scary organized! Can you do mine? ;)

LMBO! (view spoiler)[NO! LOL! Plus, they really aren't...I need to work on them. (hide spoiler)]

Her bookshelves really ARE impressive!

Thanks, Pamela. Yours are great, too!

I like the people like LK who have those mega-organized shelves all nicely sorted with all kinds of ways to find a book you're looking for... I'd like shelves like that too, lol, so good job Lisa Kay, you sure you don't want to do mine, and Melissa's? Could eventually help pay for those dang renovations, you get enough people, lol ;D

Just kidding of course :)

lol, hang a shingle out that says "Shelf Organizer"

LMBO! You ladies crack me up.

Reunited romance is my favorite theme! I finally started a shelf for it. The All About Romance site has a great list too.

Sorry y'all for not introducing myself. Not sure what's up, but when I click on the Introductions link GR gives me an error message. Probably a GR glitch ...

Not a problem, Tammy. Good to have you!

Hello!

I know it's a little late and I'm not sure if this is what you really want, but a few years ago I read

This is what Goodreads says about the book:
"Amy Reynolds is stunned when her first, great love suddenly reappears. A happily married mother of two, she wants nothing to do with him. But then-needing to know why he was ripped from her life without explanation-Amy becomes obsessed with the idea that maybe they really were meant to be together..."

Hmmmm...we do have a glitch to that link. I wonder what is up.

Dhes pointed me in the right directions.

There is a glitch when you try to add to certain threads, or go to the last page of them when them haven't been used in a while. Specifically for us, "Introductions."

It has been reported to the GoodReads Feedback Group that has a thread started on the topic .

I'm fond of this theme & it's without a doubt one of the the favorite theme of Judith McNaught too.

...

All the books which Valie mentioned - my favorite among them would be Paradise.

is another beautiful book which fits in this category.

Here are childhood sweethearts. ( friends )





Here are just some second chance romances

Wow! Thanks, Joeera!

Neat list, Joeera. I don't know if I'd say is a 'childhood sweethearts' or not. Maybe, if you made it singular 'childhood sweetheart.' Semantics, right? LOL!

Here are some more
