I unfinished at least three romance novels this year, but eventually found a few treasures...
Edenbrooke - Julianne Donaldson A Goodreads nominations for best romance. Loved. It. Highly recommend. To quote the author, it's the "romance of restraint"(aka: no sex), the suspense of not knowing if the other person feels about you the way you do about them.
Also loved...
Anna and Bates in Downton Abbey (TV)
The Deal (movie) - Unlikely pairing of Meg Ryan and a suicidal, alcoholic William H Macy
Murdoch Mysteries (TV) - An epic romance that's being dragged out to the extent that I fall upon the thorns of life and fucking bleed!
"Maps" as covered by The Fray. About romancing a cartographer? Who the beep knows. It's just beautiful.
"Unthinkable" - Alicia Keys About two people on the brink of declaring their love.
I'm gonna sit right here and tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say, you should say it right now
"Old Fashioned" from my boyfriend Cee-Lo.
"All the Boys" - Keri Hilson
I remember all the kisses
The hits and misses
I never knew a love like this
"Sad" - Maroon 5
I'm scared to death
That there may not be another one like this
And I confess
That I'm only holding on by a thin thin thread
Also loved...
"The Twelfth of Never" - Dolly Parton and Keith Urban
"Love Like This" - Natasha Bedingfield with Sean Kingston
"I Won't Let That Chump Break Your Heart" - Carl Carlton
"I Can Dream About You" - Dan Hartman (but wonderfully lip synched in this dance number)
"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon 5 (check out this duet version)
"Breathe" - Faith Hill (here she is with Santana)
and "old Mr Webster could never define what's being said between your heart and mine" le sigh Alison Krauss, Keith Whitley, and Union Station: "When You Say Nothing At All"

Anna and Bates - definately.
I love your lists. I get exposed to the most interesting music.
Love this. I'm listening to Cee-Lo as I type. And every time I see the cover for Edenbrooke I think that I want to read it, and then I forget. So now it is officially on my list. : )
I love Hart of Dixie. Unfortunately it is on when I'm working. If I were the type to tape a show - this is the one I would tape.
Gonna check out that Fray song and the Maroon 5 song. Also putting the Deal in my netflix queue. Never even heard of it before.
@Judie - I'm also eager for the last sister to get some action. Hope that happens this season. But ahhhh! Bates!!
@Skye - Thank-you! I love music so much... can't help posting about it all the time.
@Robena - Isn't he lovely? I hope you enjoy Edenbrooke. It's very sweet, and full of yearning.
@JJJ - You watch it too?! You can watch the latest episodes online at the CW network--that's what I do.
I only watched The Deal cause it's in Netflix. It's not a perfect movie, but it's weird-funny-romantic and Macy is always great.
