Book suggestions ! // Romance; Love; Comedy

Hanamiki
Hey guys~ It's been a while, nice to be here again :p I need your help ! So I really love reading and I'm currently looking for new books to buy and read. I need good suggestions on romance novels ! But I need to say I don't like tragedy! I can't stand it, watched/read too much, hahaha. :D But it's ok if the book has mature content as long as it fits to the story :) So perfect would be a good mix of romance, comedy, drama, mature.~ I'd appreciate your help~ Thanks in advance :) much love, Hanamiki ♡

Without knowing your taste more in detail, it's hard to know what you would like, because the things you want are in so many different kinds of novels... But, I love reading too, so I'll give you a few suggestions with links to Goodreads. Maybe they aren't exactly what you're looking for but hopefully that's not a problem. :)

The Abstinence Teacher, Tom Perrotta <--- Opposites attract! (Maybe the least "romance novel" type on this list, but a really good book)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/347143.The_Abstinence_Teacher?ac=1

Perfect Strangers, Lou Ann Gaeddert <--- Fake marriage (one of my "guilty pleasure" books... no comedy at all, though, but no tragedy!)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1471063.Perfect_Strangers?ac=1

Outlander, Diana Gabaldon <--- Time travel, adventure and hot romance (I'd say the "hottest" on this list)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10964.Outlander?ac=1

Evening Class, Maeve Binchy <--- A group of strangers come together to learn Italian for various reasons and end up being friends... or, in some cases, lovers (a nice "feelgood book", I first read it in my teens and I still have warm feelings towards it)
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41967.Evening_Class?from_search=true

The Secret of Happy Ever After, Lucy Dillon <--- Marriage, friendship, the love of reading (The one on this list that I read most recently, I'd say it's an "okay" feelgood book, but I'm not such a huge fan of the genre anymore... you might like it though!)

That's all that I can think of at the moment.

Romance? I'm not a fan of this genre but I read some love novels: -->Nora Roberts - Bride Quartet (I don't know if you read it..."Set in the fun, fabulous and sometimes hectic world of wedding planning, follow the story of four friends and their struggles with life, love and family as they build their wedding planning company, VOWS." There are four volumes with the way every girl finds her love. It was easy to read them...the story is nice and the characters,interesting) -->Linda Nichols - Handyman (This is an " inspirational romance" as someone said. A pretty good book but not something special ~ in my opinion,sure~) BUT...Do you have an account on goodreads.com? It's like MDL but for books. I'm sure you can find there more opinions and recommendations.

How to fall in love - Cecilia Ahern. Its sooo cute. Its about a girl who stops a guy from doing suicide. They make a deal, she only got 2 weeks to show him that life is worth to live and for this she tries to get him back with his girlfriend who left him and broke his heart. But later the main girl finds herself falling for him... I dont have gooddreas, but I already thought about doing an account.
