24 Clean Romance Novels

{Books that will melt your heart with their heartwarming love stories}

I have it all planned out for Valentine's Day this year: a moonlit night, a single candle, maybe some soft music in the background. We'll sit next to each other and my heart will warm for this companion at my side. Yep, you guessed it. I'm going to have the most romantic night of my life . . . with a book! Don't get me wrong, I love my real-life hunk of a man and we'll probably have a night out on the town, but there's nothing wrong with cozying up this another companion, the literary kind, that is! Now I'm not talking about a steamy imagined romance with a shirtless man on the cover of a book filled with explicit content. No, I want a romance that will pull at my heart and make remember what falling in love feels like. There's something heartwarming about a good clean romance.

After such a success with our 40 Clean Reads for Teens, I decided that is was time to pull together all of our favorite adult romance novels, but with one caveat: they had to be PG or cleaner (most of these are PG). That means no bedroom scenes and no explicit content. Does that mean these books won't get your heart racing. NO! In fact, we picked these books because they have romance - just the good, clean kind (**See disclaimer at the end of this post).

40 Clean Reads for Teens

Ok, I know what you're thinking. Clean reads? Really? It sounds so . . . boring. Ok, we aren't talking about educational books for teens. We are talking about fun, riveting, adventurous novels that teenagers will love (and parents will approve of).

What do I mean by that? I just mean that all of these books I would approve of my daughters and sons reading. If they actually rated books, these would get close to a PG rating (no swearing, sex, drugs, alcohol, or too much violence). Does that mean these books are boring? Heck no! It just means that you or your teen could read these books and not be offended or embarrassed by the content. They would also make great reads for school or teen book clubs.

Below is each cover of the books above with a link to their summary on Amazon. If you notice, I didn't differentiate between books that are for boys or for girls. I've found that about 90% of the books should work for both the male and female audience. Don't judge a book by its cover alone - my brother enjoyed Blackmoore by Julianne Donaldson, my son likes The Heist Society by Ally Carter, and I really liked Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. You'll also find that nearly all of these authors keep their books free from anything R-rated so you're pretty save to read other books by these authors too. Also, if you are just looking for books for teen boys (12-18+), check out my post of the Top 24 Books for Teen Boys.
