I'm starting on writing an angst romance story but i'm short on inspiration. Do you guys know any books or an author who write such kinds of books or any references i could take? any little help or opinion means a lot. Thanks

Good luck with the writing! With regard to reading matter, you can't go wrong with Daphne du Maurier, though you've probably read her stuff anyway. Have you tried Mary Westmacott? She's from a similar time period and - it's a pseudonym for Agatha Christie! A totally different genre and to some extent style, but her mystery expertise shows through and I find some of the character study very moving.

Hey thanks debbiebee! I'm really struggling to this kind of genre because of the references and i haven't experience this kinds of things but the topic is the favorite part i read in every romance books so i feel like i want to contribute. Thanks again for your help

You're so welcome, Key, glad I can do something right, it's been one of those days!!!

Read Beautiful Disaster (college age, fighter, alpha male) by Jamie McGuire!! Best "angsty" romance. I love this type of book and could recommend a ton more to you if this is the type to hit the mark you're looking for.

Abbi Glines is another. Everything she writes is angsty. She'd be a good author to study-read with multiple series' to choose from.

Both of these are modern day writers, not classic/historical. Is there a time period you are most interested in?
