Tessa Bickers recommends

Friends to Lovers (2025)
Sally Blakely
"Your heart will explode when you read this book. I defy you not to fall in love with Joni and Ren, and if ever you needed a message on not giving up - whether that's on love, life or your hopes and dreams - this is it."

Let the Games Begin (2024)
Rufaro Faith Mazarura
"Rufaro is such a fresh and exciting new voice in romantic women's fiction. I've never fallen as fast as I did for Zeke and his family, and Olivia is such a perfect heroine, battling between her head and her heart.Let the Games Begin is funny, romantic, gripping and relatable. I loved every second of it. If you need me, I'll be in Athens."
