I would like to nominate Musashi Flex by Steve Perry. There is a nice romance between Lazlo and Cayne. It is the prequel to the Matador Series.

The Musashi Flex
Follows the development of the 97 steps of sumito as well as the biochemical enhancement later used by Confed soldiers. The protagonist is a professional fighter, Lazlo Mourn, who walks the Musashi Flex, an illegal underground martial arts competition named after Miyamoto Musashi, which features both armed and unarmed combat.

blurb from back of book I got off Amazon:
Lazlo Mourn is a battle-scarred veteran of the extreme martial arts game known as the Musashi Flex. But just as he's ready to hang up his blades, his moves evolve toward a form of fighting unlike any the galaxy has ever seen...

Journalist Cayne Sola's ambition knows no bounds--and not even the most blood-hungry Flex fighter can match her fierce determination. She wants a big story on the games--and she'll get it...

A billionaire several times over, Ellis Mumbo Shaw has everything money can buy--except fame on the Flex field of combat. And one untested drug puts that within his reach...

Warrior. Infiltrator. Upstart. Their fates will intertwine--and be decided--in the bloody arena of the Musashi Flex. And if they survive, their story will become legend.

I third this.

Feel the PASSION of old and young love!

Feel love that is AGONIZING and painful!

Find out what it means to LOVE again!

Yes, you too can experience the joys, heartbreak, and remembrance of old passions that rise to the surface like a boil ready to burst!

Read:

LOST HORIZON

by

James Hilton

This timeless tale of romance transcends the petty genres of typecast fiction. I am recommending this book.

Is this in the Romance genre? It doesn't sound like it. But, what do I know about romance?

Yes, I know. I wasn't sure if the original message was a nomination or just a suggestion of books men might like.

Sorry guys, my head is going to explode.
My words exactly.

Jon, if you don't like the idea, read something else. No one's forcing you to read it. See you in March.

When I learned that February was Romance month, I have to admit I was less than thrilled, but the passion this genre has brought out in the group has cemented in my mind that I will give it a try. I just hope the book is as good as this thread has been.

Not sure it could be - but you never know what happens. Stay tuned, this is MobileRead!

For anyone interested and curious about 'romance novels', about the why, what and wherefore, I can warmly recommend 'Beyond Heaving Bosoms: The Smart Bitches' Guide to Romance Novels'.
