I can't believe I've been making recommendations for THIS long and haven't done a list of back from the dead romances where one character was presumed dead, then came back. But better than late than never, right? Here ya go:

It was honestly a slow reading year for me. But still, I found a few fantastic romance gems that are worth talking about. In no particular order, here they are:
I could probably name you thirty romances featuring morally grey heroes off the top of my head. But what about morally grey heroines? That's not as easy as you might think. But because I'm not one to gatekeep, here are the ones I came up with...you know...if you're into that kind of thing:
Romantic comedy Release date: 12/01/2023 Available everywhere books are sold I think I've made it clear that I'll read whatever Isabel Jordan writes. Paranormal? Great. Monsters? Sure. Superheroes? Bring em' on. Rock stars? Not usually my thing, but f-yeah, I'll give it a go. So, why was I surprised when I read about two criminals and STILL fell totally in love with them?
If you're like me, you're not looking for anything super scary to read, even during spooky season. That's why I've put together this list of light spooky season reads that are ah-may-zing. You're welcome:
I'll admit it. I'm not a huge fan of audio books. But that doesn't mean I don't understand why so many other readers ADORE them. So, here are some of my 5-star faves that also have great audio versions available. You're welcome:
Why so many of your favorite authors are leaving Kindle Unlimited & what YOU can do to support them7/5/2023 I've recently noticed some readers dragging authors to hell and back on the interwebs for taking their books out of Kindle Unlimited. I've seen authors being called greedy and heartless for not making their books available there. And I can't even tell you how much that pisses me off. But I'm not going to rant at readers here. I'm going to assume they just don't totally understand how Kindle Unlimited works or WHY an author might decide to not be part of the program. So, that's what I'm going to do here today. Educate. I'm a giver like that. :) Here it goes:
So, did anyone else look at this movie poster and think, "Huh. I need to read more barbarian romances." Or was that just me? My thought was that there was no way Marvel was going to do this poster justice with the actual movie (which will, I'm sure, be joyless and sexless). That said, here are some barbarian romances that share a vibe with this poster, but that are ANYTHING but joyless and sexless. You're welcome:
First of all, I think I should get credit for not using "hot werewolf romances you'll howl for" as a headline. And yes, I realize that not all wolf shifters are technically werewolves. But no one has time for all that backstory and explanation! So, here's a list of awesome, hot, werewolf romances for you to read and enjoy. You're welcome:
Monster fantasy romance Release date: 06/09/2023 Available everywhere books are sold I've been reading a lot of monster romance lately. I mean, a lot. With human men being what they are right now (*gestures all around wildly*), it's just easier for me to believe in happily ever afters between human women and giant monsters who want nothing more than to make them happy, you know? And in that capacity, Monster Mate was a HUGE win. But it also had plenty of other great stuff going for it:
The kids over on TikTok are doing this thing where they list books they'll accept no criticism on, and I thought I'd bandwagon. Now, I'm not saying everyone isn't entitled to their own opinions. You totally are. It's perfectly fine for you to dislike any of the books I'm about to list. But if you do, just know that I'm not going to listen. Like, at all. Because to me, these books are perfect, just as they are:
If you've loved the runaway bride trope since the 1999 Julia Roberts/Richard Gere movie (or, if you're a little more, um, mature than that and have loved it since Sally Field ran to Burt Reynolds in Smokey and the Bandit back in 1977), then THIS is the list you've been waiting for:
I'll admit that I'm not normally an activity book kind of person. But this book...this book is PERFECTION. With the world in the state that it's in (*gestures to, well, EVERYTHING*), I've had trouble with my attention span. I'm finding it difficult to sit still through television and movies, and even books. So, when this activity book came along, it was like the author (Lucy Eden, who is FABULOUS and I totally recommend her romance novels, too) was reading my mind and delivered exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it. It's a perfect escape that let's you indulge in your love of the romance genre without having to commit large chunks of time. It has romance novel themed word searches, cross words, coloring and mad libs. I'm only halfway through the book and I've already had soooooooo much fun with it. So, do yourself a favor and grab your copy of this little gem RIGHT NOW. Where else can you get hours of entertainment and clever activities for less than you probably paid for lunch? (Probably A LOT less, considering the price of groceries and all. But I digress.) Trust me. You won't regret the purchase.
Look, no shade to the author of this tweet (she did eventually remove it and apologize for unintentionally insulting the genre), but if you think the only authors of great, fun, good quality, hot contemporary romance are Talia Hibbert (who is admittedly awesome) and Emily Henry, then you need to branch out and read more. Specially, maybe step out of traditional publishing, because there are amazing indie and self-published authors out there writing books that readers can't get enough of. So, for today's list, I'm going to divide them up by categories. (Authors, see Sophia directly to collect your winnings) Here we go:
So, you've just binge read everything Lucy Score has to offer, and now you're wondering what to do with your life until her next book comes out. Fear not--I've got you. I can give you enough recommendations for hot, hilarious, quirky romances that give off plenty of Lucy Score vibes to hold you over until it's new release time. Here are just a few:
