The search is on to find the north west's favourite romantic read.

A list of 20 contemporary love stories ranging from traditional romance to the fantastic and supernatural, is being promoted through public libraries and beyond, under the title Pure Passion.

The titles have been chosen to represent a range of styles of modern romantic reading for people aged 16 and over, who want stories with love at their heart.

Local libraries will be displaying the list so that people can take the books out of the library to read and vote on which is their favourite.

The winners will be celebrated at an awards ceremony in February 2008.
