Pride and prejudice is a classic! Just watch the 2005 verison with Kiera Knightly and you would be quite inspired to write a"coutship"romance story. Good luck!

Read Outlander by Diana Gabaldon its AMAZING and Its not your typical'everyone lives happily ever after'love story so it will give you a different perspective on romance plots.

The Notebook is excellent! It deals with all kinds of love, like learning to love yourself, your parents, and of course, real romance.

love story by erich segal is a classic,and A Walk to Remember is a lovestory with no .. intercourses at all..and trust me, it's way better than themovie. the movie doesn't hold anythingcompared to the book.hope this helps!

the notebook doeshave some stuff (cough) in it, butit's still a very good book.

Hey, hard to find good romance without the sex. By the way, ignore the comment about Outlander....full of sex, very graphic. I have read the series multiple times and the antagonist is very sadistic. The books are good, but not if you are avoiding the sex. Any Jane Austin book would be a good example, or more contemporary, Janette Oke. Just a couple of ideas.

I love Meg Cabot (Heather Wells&Queen of Babble) and Sophie Kinsella's (Shopaholic [soon to be movie]&Remember Me) Emily Giffin (Something Borrowed&Something Blue, Baby Proof) books. I am in the process of reading Jennifer Weiner's (Good In Bed&Certain Girls) books. They are all great authors!For a young adult/teen I recommend Meg Cabot's young adult books. She is the best author. Also best selling. She wrote tons of books including the Princess Diaries (Movies based on her books), Mediator (upcoming movie), 1-800-Missing (TV show based on her books), Jinx, Airhead and more. She has adult books too, so you can grow with her.If you want more info or the authors website's email me.
