Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver may be Canada's largest and most dynamic cities, but according to Amazon.ca, they just don't cut it in the romance department.

None of the big three even make the online retailer's second-annual list of Canada's top 20 romantic cities.

Based on Amazon.ca sales of romance novels, sex and relationship books, romantic comedy DVDs and Michael Buble CDs since Jan. 1, pretty Victoria -- the retirement capital of British Columbia -- is No. 1 in the love department.

Also surprising, smaller cities across Ontario seem to be hotbeds of romance: No fewer than 11 Ontario communities are ranked in the top 20. Food for thought when planning a romantic getaway.

Couples looking for places to feel the love this Valentine's Day may want to consider one of these hidden centres of amour: Guelph, Calgary, Saskatoon, Oakville, Regina, Kingston, Kelowna, Nepean, Burlington, Winnipeg, Richmond Hill, Edmonton, London, Kitchener, St. Catharines, Burnaby, Thunder Bay, Richmond and Ottawa.

I've been to every city on that list except Nepean and Kelowna. Not sure how people measure this category but... Burlington? Richmond Hill? Guelph? Thunder Bay?

Deserving? Victoria. Kingston.

Missing? Niagara-on-the-lake. Vancouver!

I've helped pump up their stats, but don't confuse me for being romantic.

I just like books with Fabio on the cover.

Or possibly the age of the buyer???? How do we know it isn't some old fart who wants to rekindle something that wasn't there to begin with?

I like how "Vancouver" is excluded, but Richmond and Burnaby made the list. Yes, the two 'burbs adjacent to Vancouver, are on there. There is sweet screw all romantic about Burnaby. Not a thing. The most redeeming feature of it is that if you take the Transcanada, you can skip having to see it.

I love Richmond. We lived there for 5 years. My babies were born there. However, it is NOT romantic, unless being in a car accident every other day is romantic. Living next to the airport and being under a flight path no matter where you live in the city? Hot.

Well, Taboo show was pretty boring this past weekend. Geared too much towards those that are too scared to go into an adult store ( pretty much vanilla stuff!)

Oops - was that TMI?

lol!
