This is my first time posting on here...

I am looking for contemporary romance with a virgin heroine...I know it is hard to come by but I've also read a few

and I know they are out there..LOL

I have read all of those by Linda Howard, some by Diana Palmer, Christie Ridgeway, Anne Stuart and of course the Harlequin presents...My all  Time fave is

beverly Barton's Sweet Caroline's keeper. I also like paranormal with a virgin heroine...I just finished the Vampire and the Virgin by Kerrelyn Sparks (loved it)

ISo if you have read anything recently,(pr not so recently either!) let me know...Thanks!  :)

Pamela Clare's Naked Edge, the heroine is a virgin. I will have to think on this to figure out some more.

Lora Leigh does a lot of virgin heroines.  Loving the Highlander by Janet Chapman has a virgin heroine as well.  Some of Christine Feehan;s heroines are virgins but I can't remember which ones.

Murphy's Law by Lori Foster has a virgin heroine. The prequel to this book is Jude's Law. Both books are very good.

I think Lori Foster has a few virgin heroines.  The heroine in Gabe is a virgin.  (series is better when read in order).  I think one or 2 of the heroines in the Winston brothers book is a virgin as well.  Both are really good series to read anyway.

I think Lucy Monroe had one in Willing but sorta need to read all 3 of those back to back to get all the characters and IMO Willing was the worst of the 3 for the storyline and hero.

Heaven, Texas, Lady Be Good and Kiss An Angel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips come to mind.  Also the subplot romance in Dream a Little Dream has a virgin heroine.  Jayne Anne Krentz also has a lot of virgin heroines.  And like Mary said, Lora Leigh has many, many virgin heroines.

I just finished a book that would fit this theme, Compromising Positions by Jenna Bayley-Burke. It's WL on PBS but I got it as a free ebook from Amazon(Kindle) a few days ago.
