Any good love story books for adults?

I'm looking for a good love story to get absorbed in. I'm not really into those Harlequin paperback types; I like something more realistic and contemporary. I have read a few Nicholas Sparks and I liked a couple, so I don't need any of those recommended. My favorite love story is a little novella called"The Falconer"by Elaine Clark McCarthy. I also like"The Hottest State"by Ethan Hawke and Nick Hornsby's"High Fidelity."(Which I read both before the movies were ever made). I suppose I'd be open to something with a sci-fi or fantasy element. (I do like time travel stuff) But mostly I'm looking for something more contemporary. And nothing too explicit or raunchy please. In fact if there is a good Christian fiction love story out there let me know the title! Thanks!

I really recommend the"Twilight"series by Stephenie Meyers. It's mostly a love story between a girl&a vampire with a conscious. It's really great&beautifully written. I really recommend it.

"Outlander"by Diana Gabaldon. It is hefty but worth the time. Main character goes back in time where she meets the love of her life although she is married in her own time
