Your Favorite Theme Song!!! CALLING ALL ROMANCE READERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I giess where I'ma little different is that I don't have A FAVOURITE Harlequin Book.  I do have favourite books, but I'm hard pressed to pick out one and call it the "BE ALL AND END ALL BOOK' of my collection.  One thing I have done, though, is go through the current Harlequins & Imprints that I'm reading and choose an appropriate song for each one.

PRIMARY STORM by Mr Brendan DuBois (Worldwide Mystery Library)* * * Song:  The Presidential March * * *

HIGH SEAS TO HIGH SOCIETY by Sophia James (Harlequin Historical Regency #888, March, 20080 SONG: Somebday My Prince Will Come

but I will put a song with a Keeper book  I just read.Just remember I'm an older lady so my tastes might not be yours.

The book is Same Time Next Summer by Holly Jacobs and the song is Unchained Melody by anyone who ever sang it.

Yes the Rightous Brothers did a really great version of Unchained Melody but there are many other versions out there as well. It's got to be one of the best love songs going.

That song matches Holly's book also. So now I'll have two songs running around in my head. Unchained Melody on A side and Theme From a Summer place on B side. I'm old enough to remember 45's.

They had three arms and I remember various colors as all My Pat Boone records all got red ones. I liked Elvis but even then I marched to a different drummer as Pat was my favorite. You were probably into the girl singers as they were known at that time. All the old variety shows on tv would have a token girl singer.  Don't remember the cake holder thing.

That was a walk down memory lane. Here's a few more "Tonight I Celebrate My Love" and "If Ever You're in My Arms Again"  by Peabo Bryson

"I Want to Know what Love Is"  by Foreigner

"I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder

"Dedicated to The One I Love" by the Mamas and Papas

Yes yellow plastic centers and red metal ones -the red wore off if you handled them too much.

That one is easy for me. The song is I Give My Heart by John Berry. If you have not heard it then go find a copy of it.  There are several more he does but that is my favorite. 

As far as books go for this song. This is really hard for me to pick. But there are two of them that come to mind. But they are not Harlequin books. They are by Jude Deveraux. They are

.A knight in Shining Armor and Sweet Liar.

One of my favorite books was the Million Dollar Marriage by Maggie Shayne. This book kicked off the Fortune of Texas books back in 1999. This book has it all. The song that comes to mind is Your love amazes me by John Berry.

I think the Garth Brooks song Beaches of Cheyenne could go with a lot of books, especially rodeo books

and Forever and Ever Amen by Randy Travis would fit with the Everlasting line. I think of Clint's song whenever my husband does something special.

This is a great post. I am glad it's got life again.

Aurelene you are amazing.

Patsy as you can tell I love country too. Do you like this is Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood. If so you should look at the video for it . I cried most of the way through it. It fit a situation in Calgary where we had a young soldier killed in Iran and he left a fiance here at home.

There are soooo many Bryan Adams songs that would fit a number of my favorite romance books.  One of the most romantic ones is "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" (with the lyrics:  "To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
You know you really love a woman") and "Please Forgive Me" among others.  I sigh every time I hear them.  Based on his songs, I am convinced that he has truly and deeply loved a woman.

Also, I have to agree on Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman".  Also, how about "Cherish" or "Never My Love" by The Association or "I Only Have Eyes for You" and "All I Know" both by Art Garfunkel or Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" or even Joe Cocker's "You are so Beautiful to Me". 

I wish I could remember the title of one I bought my DH for our anniversary one year.  I heard it on the radio and went into a record store to describe it to the clerk.  It turned out to be on a romantic anthology of songs, but I was shocked to learn it was sung by some heavy metal group because it was so sweet and romantic.  I'll have to study on that a bit and see if I can come up with it.

on "Let it Be Me" and "Yesterday"!
