Recommend great sweeping romance novels?

I love reading novels that feature great sweeping epic romances like Gone with the wind or Wuthering Heights or Love in the time of cholera. I used to love romance novels but now I just don't like how formulaic a lot of those books are. Can somebody recommend some well-written novels (i.e. GOOD books, not harlequin romance type) that are about great romances?

Unbroken Hearts

Through the dust of Main Street the men caught sight of a young woman on a white pony. Ned Kingman, Lola's hired man, was standing with his head bowed alongside her. A small group of men crushed in on the pair.'

Flowers In The Attic by VC Andrews. Definitely one of the best books/series I ever read. My Sweet Audrina also by VC Andrews is great too but I wouldn't call it romance. Hope I helped

Pride and Prejudice or anything by Jane Austen
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger is FANTASTIC. I didn't see anything cliched about it.
