Yes! The Nothebook is my favorite from Sparks. I was trying to get through all of his books during the summer, but I was only able to read The Lucky One. It was pretty good, but nothing like Noah & Allie.

I just finished The Guardian. I love books that have romance and a thriller mixture. This book was the perfect mix.

I just finished The Best of Me. I'm not sure what to think. I liked the ending but not some of the things in the story.

He is a great romance novel author. His books hook you from the beginning, are easy reads and are relatable to readers. I really love his books!

I actually might like Nicholas Sparks. I think my mistake may have been only reading, "The Rescue" over a few long layovers. It met my expectations, being a tender and captivating love story, but then the epilogue turned the whole book into a too-good-to-be-true fairy tale. It shattered any connection I had with the characters. In retrospect, my mistake was probably just reading the epilogue...

I remember thinking how great it was that a male authored the story though. I have very hard, not-at-all-romantic men in my family (which is why I married Mr. Sensitive) so it was an eye opener that a man could pen that story and appeal to the readers emotions.

Non-fiction, and a really amazing story.

After I read this I was then able to understand how
he can write with such emotion.
I couldn't agree more! I love knowing what drives an author to create such emotional stories. This is like a window into his world!

what are your thoughts regarding a male author writing romance/love themed novels??
I'm pretty much the same. Seen them on shelves and watch he'd some movies but never read a book. Thanks for all the suggestions.

A walk to Remember was the first one I read and is still my favorite. Others like Last Song were also beautiful stories.

I think a man tackling a tricky subject like romance is wonderful, and I'm sure he's great at it, but I've always shied away from romance novels.

This author knows how to make you emotional in the best ways. His work leaves a mark on your heart. I have seen a few of his movie adaptations and they are equally great.
