From Friends to Lovers: A Collection of Love Songs

I’m finishing up my latest m/m romance, TAKE ME HOME, this week. It's tentatively due out in December. Here’s the brief premise: Best friends. Years spent denying their attraction. A 2000-mile train trip home for the holidays in a cramped bedroom compartment. A blizzard that leaves them trapped. After waiting 10 years for their second kiss, they finally give in to passion.

Since it’s a romantic, sexy, all-out love story, I thought I’d share some of my favorite love songs, most of which remind me of Kyle and Evan’s story.

Have a Little Faith In Me, John Hiatt



Maybe I'm Amazed, Paul McCartney



The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face, Roberta Flack



Unchained Melody, Righteous Brothers



You Are So Beautiful, Joe Cocker



(Everything I Do) I Do It For You, Bryan Adams
I can’t embed this one so here’s the link to the video on YouTube

Hi Robin. Great choices. I especially love The Beauty of Who You Are & White Dress. They both have such amazing voices. As always, thanks for the kind words.

Thanks, K. You're always so kind. Glad you're looking forward to it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Now just hope my editor thinks so too.

Unchained Melody is literally one of the BEST. SONGS. EVER.

I loved all your choices and I would add:

Van Morrison's "Have I Told You Lately"

John Fogerty's "Joy of My Life"

and finally:

Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight"

Elaine: I agree. Such a beautiful song. Great choices you listed too. Love, love "Have I Told You Lately." I should have had that one on my list. Thanks for sharing your faves.
