While I'm all here for the dark romance books, I think if I had to choose between soft and dark romance. I would choose soft romance. It's just a teeny tiny bit better than a dark romance. I do love the thrill and impulsive love that is portrayed in dark romance but the whole idea of holding hands for the first time, the subtle eye contacts, sweet gestures, and the flow of love. Her being lost in her own and he's lost in her. The way that a dimple smile is described , oh, it really amazes me. And while it is everyone's preference, if i had to lead someone to start reading, I would start them from a good soft romance or even better rom-com book
