Hello to everyone, I could really use some help!

[Robelle]

My wife is the reader in the family not I, however I have just recently learned that romance novels are the way to her heart. She is 38 years old and my wife of 13 years she has just recently read all of the Twilight series of books. She loves to read but has little time because of kids and the pursuit of her masters degree. During that time she read the Twilight books our relationship both in and out of the bedroom had drastic changes. For once she was coming on to me, often. Now several months have past and things have gotten back to the norm, if you know what I mean? Anyway I had no clue as to how a book could have been so powerful in a relationship, but I'm definatly convinced now. Although, I myself are not a big reader, I'm looking for some help as to what compares to Twilight? She reads books sometimes when she hears of something that everyone is talking about but nothing has ever affected her or me this way. I'm just looking for some guidance or great book choices to spice my life once again.

Thanks, any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

I didn't much like Twilight. I started it then dropped it. Any similar books I have no clue, since I'm not into those 'types' of books. But I can recommend, in the mean time, you can purchase something from Victoria Secrets and receive a similar result.

I think if you post your question to somewhere other than Member's introductions, you might get an answer that you're looking for.

I have yet to read the Twilight series myself. However, I can say that books that make women feel romantic and/or turned on can help in the bedroom. If she liked the vampires and romance of Twilight, she'll likely enjoy the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. If possible, buy the series on Amazon (there are currently 9 books in the series but only 8 in the set right now) so she can read them in chronological order. Also, for a bit steamier vampire/romance read, Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series is the ticket. They're a bit more graphic than the Sookie series, but I enjoyed them immensely and am pretty sure my hubby enjoyed my reading them as well.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't asking to increase her literary intellect. There was no cause for this comment. I find it rude and haughty. Some people read just for the fun of it.

Robelle, be forewarned that once she starts the Anita Blake series, if she likes the first, she'll want to read them all. I have both of my sisters hooked on them and passing them back and forth between Florida and Colorado. One of them has recommended Christine Feehan's Dark series as well, but I have yet to read them.

Yesterday I was at Target and saw Twilight series on a shelf. Next to it and below were books that were really similar to Twilight series. I should've taken a picture of them. There were several series like it. One of them was written by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast. Not sure how similar they are to Twilight for I've not read neither, but reading Amazon.com's Editorial Reviews of the books show they are of similar in genre.
