This question reminded me that I have a trashy paperback romance novel memory of my own that I would like to track down. It was about a female highwayman and its cover art was mostly in shades of dark green. [more inside]

I’d like to read some fiction books where the heroine is intelligent, 40+ years old, not incredibly gorgeous or incredibly wealthy or incredibly famous, but with responsibilities (like teenage kids or a career), who has explicit & hot sex. Chick lit all grown up, you might say. [more inside]

About 10 years ago, a friend of mine received a book as a gift. It was a series of (fictional, I think) love letters written between a man and a woman, but the book itself contained envelopes and letters written on different types of stationary and such. Kind of a multimedium format. I believe the title had both of the characters names in it. Does this really vague description ring a bell with anyone?

I've just finished both David Gilmour's Sparrow Nights and Scott Spencer's Endless Love, each for the second time. They're even better than I remember them. What's your favorite book about unrequited love? I'd like to keep up the streak.
