Any romance books based on the Titanic?

[skoolgirl101]

Hello,

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a book about the Titanic but included some romance in it as well. I hope there is because I love historical romances so much and Titanic is one of my favorite subjects to learn about. Anyway I'm going to stop rambling now. So if you know of any just reply back. Thanx!

Isn't Leo enough? lol. Just kidding. Titanic rocks, you're right. I couldn't ever get enough of it. Still can't. I delved into so much research on the subject a few years ago... But my obsession has subsided as I haven't found any novels either. Never completely though.

I looked on the internet and found these books:

Titanic Affair by Amanda Grange
A Perfect Stranger by Anne Robins

Here's the site I found it on: http://titanicbooksite.com/article_books2004.html
I found them under the Fiction section.

Hope you two find this helpful.

Oh wow, I would love to check those books out that she found on the titanic book website! I've always looked the movie, and it is my favorite love story. I have always loved how they only knew eachother for a week and Jack saved not only Rose's life but also her soul. It is truly the best love story EVER! I first saw that movie when it was 6 and I've loved it ever since! I've always wanted to learn about Titanic, I actually went to the Titanic muesem and saw real things they found, and learned about real people that died or lived from the ship wreck. If you find anymore romance titanic books, I would also love to hear about them!

Ha ha, abi. You make me laugh becaue of course I feel the same way

Umm...didn't some guy write this fictional book about a giant ship that sunk in the same fashion as the titanic. And like 60 years later Titanic actually sank. Creepy stuff! Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I know that doesn't have anything to do with romances, but I think it's interesting.

[skoolgirl101]

Yes I have heard of that. That did freak me out a little bit.

hope everyone enjoys the books i found.

I was wondering the same thing too b/c i love historical romances as well , so i did some research and found Titanic: the Long Night and its sequel Remembering the Titanic by Diane Hoh who also wrote the series Med Center (if you know that series). I haven't actually read them but they are rated five stars and i loved Hoh's Med Center. If you're interested in more historical romance stories there are To Catch a Pirate by Jade Parker (which i read and liked), Hidenburg, 1937 by Cameron Dokey (haven't read but want to), and Victoria and the Rouge by Meg Cabot. The House Next Door was a great romance novel but was also a ghost story so it went from the present to the past. I highly recommend it! I hope this helps.

Hey, i read a book last year and it was about a girl that was on the Titanic and had a bit of romance in it, but was mostly about her story, but it was a really good book. It's called

Dear America:
Voyage on the Great Titanic:
The Diary of Margaret Ann Brady, R.M.S. Titanic, 1912
by Ellen Emerson White

hope u read it!

Historical romance "An Unsinkable Love" will be released in January 2012 by Lyrical Press to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

The book you're thinking of was called Futility, written by Morgan Robertson in 1898, only 14 years before the Titanic sank.  Some of the parallels are really creepy!  See http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Who_predicted_the_Titanic_wreck.  It's actually available via B&N!  See http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/futility-morgan-robertson/1003060366?ean=9781442939004&itm=2.

Yes, I do hear the theme from "The Twilight Zone" in the background!

Hi, I recently read a book called Forget Me Not by Sue Lawson. It was about a family's voyage on the Titanic and it has two point of views, one chapter is the sister which is in first person and the next chapter is the brothes which is in third person. I highly reccomend it, I just wish it had a sequel! Hope this helps.

If you have a nook you should get life boat number eight or nine I think its called, I know for sure its called life boat number (something). Its pretty cheap, not that long you can read it in a sitting but its amazing, so worth it and it will stay with u for a long time! Its also cool because its from many peoples point of views and theres kind of a love story in it.

[Cheyenne_Catina]

Those sound rather interesting.

the dressmaker by kate alcott..its not entirely romance but it has a good amount in it..its about a girl who gets on the titanic with a famous dressmaker and she meets two men on the boat..it also has alot about the trials after the sinking..i thought it was very interesting and i enjoyed it

I reccomed Distant Waves by Suzanne Weyn. I don't remember a whole lot of it, since it's been a while since i've read it... but i remember it was good! There is romance in it, which i loved. I do remember it was sad, but anything involving the Titanic is sad! Good book!!

Hearts That Survive 

  I can't say I've read it yet but I got it while it was free and it seemed like a Titanic-based romance. I've been fasicinated by the Titanic story since Ballard discovered the ship in '85. Hope this title is what you were looking for.
