2. Romantic Love- An abiding love for a partner with whom you feel passion, attraction, caring and respect.
Read any book that is in the romance genre!

3. Eros Love- a passionate love usually involving sexual feelings for a love interest.
Read a book that you were passionate about - Old Time Favorite.

Read a book off one of your friends lists.
*I read "Burn" (Salem's Revenge, #3) by David Estes.
5. Unconditional Love - A type of affection and caring that is so strong that you feel it consistently, regardless of what that other person does.
