CW50's Hopeful (not Hopeless!) Romantic asked several Detroit-area romance writers to share their favorite romantic scenes, fall-in-love lines, and just-right-for-cuddling locations.  Here are their thoughts.  I'll have a few of my own at the end.

Romance is about being with someone you love, but author Angela Patrick Wynn knows that love starts from within:

So what does a romance writer do for romance?  A note from author Karen White-Owens.

According to Author Stefanie Worth, the best romantic moments are built through years of love and trust.

Movies can be inspirational and author Elaine Overton's favorite flick just happens to be one of mine.

I love to get lost in a good book, just like author Patti Shenberger.  She shared one of her favorite scenes from her paranormal romance, The Laird's Lady.

How would you spend the perfect romantic evening?  Here's one suggestion from author Natalie Dunbar.

Thanks so much to all the lovely ladies who helped create this romantic interlude.

Now here are the Hopeful Romantic's personal choices for favorite lines, movies, music, and more:

Romantic Movie:  Romancing the Stone – It's about a romance writer.  How could I choose anything else?

Romantic Music:  Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers, the theme song for my second favorite romantic movie, "Ghost."  Patrick Swayze…where are you?

Romantic Food:  Chocolate – If you have to ask, I will never be able to explain it to you!

Romantic Drink:  Hummer – Ice cream and alcohol, how can you go wrong?

Romantic Restaurant:  Anywhere the food doesn't come on a tray or in a paper bag.  Extra romance points for tablecloths and attentive servers.

Romantic Line:  "Just sit there and read, I'll do the dishes" (or cook the dinner or clean the house or weed the garden… I'm not fussy provided it starts with "just sit there and read…")

Ahhh, romance!  It's just what we need to heat up this cold winter!  I'm feeling warmer already!
