LDS Romance Fiction

Something for all lovers of romance.

With the success of the Twilight novels a spotlight has been shone on LDS Romantic fiction. It is so named as it is either written Mormons or deals with Mormon themes (LDS stand for Latter Day Saints). The romantic subgenre is a new form, which covers many styles from Historic romance, modern love, to fantasy and paranormal romance. As it deals with moral topics it is a great place to start if you want a little old fashioned romance in you stories.

Despite her spontaneity Charly sees something in Sam that is missing in her life. It is a story about two characters who learn that through change great love can grow. Be prepared for tears and heartache in this short, warm, funny and touching story. If you’ve seen the movie, now read the book.
