5 Favorite Romances in Which Opposites Attract

Married by Morning, by Lisa Kleypas
Catherine Marks has been running from a dangerous past—finding work as a companion to the Hathaway sisters was the best possible outcome she could have imagined…the only hangup was their elder (and exasperating) brother, Leo. But after a forbidden kiss, she finds herself falling for him. Leo’s past is tinged with darkness as well—he lost the woman he thought was the love of his life, and how his family home is in jeopardy, so he must marry again before he believes he’s ready. A sweet romance that reads quickly.

A Hunger Like No Other (Immortals After Dark #2), by Kresley Cole
I know, Vampire/Werewolf romances may seem a bit dated, but I only recommend the very best ones! Lachlain is king of the Lykae clan, and after being tortured for over a century by the Vampires, he has decided to enact revenge upon them. That is, until he learns that his true mate, Emmaline Troy, is a vampire. Emmaline SHOULD be feisty and fearless—as half Valkyrie and half Vampire, her blood demands she be. But instead, Emmaline is quiet, shy, and fearful. They are complete and total opposites in more than just their magic, but eventually Lachlain and Emmaline find common ground…in a lot of really steamy ways.

Sweetest Scoundrel (Maiden Lane #9), by Elizabeth Hoyt
Eve Dinwoody is what some might call a prude. In trying to protect her brother’s investment, she upsets the wrong man: Asa Makepeace, owner of the London pleasure garden Harte’s Folly. Her brother has left her in charge of the bookkeeping of the place, since he was helping rebuild it after a fire—but Asa wants Eve nowhere near his theater, or him. But when Asa realizes that Eve’s buttoned-up demeanor is actually hiding a sensual and loving woman, he wants to show her that their relationship can be more than mere business.

Her Best Worst Mistake (Elizabeth and Violet #2), by Sarah Mayberry
Violet Sutcliffe and Martin St. Clair are worst enemies: he’s her best friend’s fiancé, but she’s always known that he doesn’t deserve her. But when Violet’s friend walks out on her wedding, Violet finds herself actually feeling sorry for the usually stuffy, stoic—and now, single— gentleman. When Martin calls on her one night, Violet realizes that beneath her fiery dislike of this man lies a sexual desire that cannot be denied. But Martin was her best friend’s fiancé, and their troubles are just beginning.

Beautiful Bastard (Beautiful Bastard #1), by Christina Lauren
The premise is pretty simple: an intern with a heart of gold meets a high-powered and stubborn executive. But the result is definitely worth it. You’ll love the chemistry between Chloe Mills and Bennett Ryan, especially once Chloe stops taking Ryan’s BS and demands respect from him. Bennett is used to getting his way with everything he wants, but with Chloe, he realizes that old behavior won’t fly. (But sparks certainly do!)
