"With all due respect to Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre, for this list, we’re looking at the Romance Novel™... For every title that made the list there’s another that deserves a spot, but here are a few of the genre’s most beloved books, the ones that installed the genre’s buttons and the ones that are reimagining those buttons for a new century and more diverse readership."
Appears to have been chosen by the editors of the magazine.
