Team Peeta or Team Gale: More YA Books for Romance Readers

Submitted by Jennifer A [1] on Fri, 06/29/2012 - 2:25pm

Anna and the French Kiss The popularity of young adult novels continues to grow with adult readers. Since I last wrote on this topic, many novels of interest to adult romance readers have been released, including some of my own personal favorites. Although many are not strictly romances, they (like the novel The Hunger Games [2] mentioned in the title) feature romantic entanglements along with the action, adventure or fantasy elements. If you love teen romances, check one out today!
