Which book should I read next?

I'm looking for a good book to read. I prefer romance. I've already read Twilight and I loved it, but I'd like it if you didn't suggest books focused on vampires. Thanks!

Update:

Thanks so much for your answers, but I said I didn't want a book with vampires...

    Definitely read:

    The House Of Night Series-

    After she is Marked, 16-year-old Zoey Redbird enters the House of Night and learns that she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite club, is mis-using her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny— with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

    -Marked

    -Betrayed

    -Chosen

    -Untamed

    -Hunted

    -Tempted

    -Burned

    -Awakened (Didn't come out yet)

    (These books are really, really good. Almost better than the Twilight series!)

    http://www.houseofnightseries.com/

    The Vampire Diaries-

    The only thing that's lasted longer than Stefan and Damon's one hundred and fifty year old feud, is the bond they share as brothers. What were they like before their rebirth as vampires? In Stefan's Diaries: Origins the details of their complex relationship are revealed, along with insights about their vampire-hating father, and their fateful relationship with the dangerous beauty, Katherine.

    -The Awakening

    -The Struggle

    -The Fury

    -Dark Reunion

    -The Return: Nightfall

    -The Return: Shadow Souls

    (Also, a great series!)

    The Wolves of Mercy Falls trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater!!!!!!! Its a romance story, and its soooooo good!!! It doesnt have vamps, it has wolves and its still amazing!!!!

    Grace, 17, loves the peace and tranquility of the woods behind her home. It is here during the cold winter months that she gets to see her wolf—the one with the yellow eyes. Grace is sure that he saved her from an attack by other wolves when she was nine. Over the ensuing years he has returned each season, watching her with those haunting eyes as if longing for something to happen. When a teen is killed by wolves, a hunting party decides to retaliate. Grace races through the woods and discovers a wounded boy shivering on her back porch. One look at his yellow eyes and she knows that this is her wolf in human form. Fate has finally brought Sam and Grace together, and as their love grows and intensifies, so does the reality of what awaits them. It is only a matter of time before the winter cold changes him back into a wolf, and this time he might stay that way forever. -Donna Rosenblum

    Hahaha just a summary, but I think you would reallllly love it!!!!!!!!
