Ali Hazelwood
Italy (b.1989)
Ali Hazelwood is a multi-published author--alas, of peer-reviewed articles about brain science, in which no one makes out and the ever after is not always happy. Originally from Italy, she lived in Germany and Japan before moving to the U.S. to pursue a Ph.D. in neuroscience. She recently became a professor, which absolutely terrifies her. When Ali is not at work, she can be found running, crocheting, eating cake pops, or watching sci-fi movies with her two feline overlords (and her slightly-less-feline husband).

Games (2026)
Anna Maria Volkova
"Impeccably romantic and deeply introspective....Anna Maria Volkova perfectly captures the vulnerability and the raw, existential dread of falling in love, and deftly explores power imbalances, generational difference, and emotional unavailability. I could read a thousand more pages about these two characters discussing philosophy, economics, art, and their worldviews. In summary: Games is a contemporary romantic masterpiece that spoke to my soul."
A Zoom With a View (2026)
Jess Cannon
"Jess Cannon has delivered a heartfelt, hilarious read that's perfect for the beach. A Zoom with a View is quirky, witty, plotty, and full of small-town charm.

This book was written for me, and it's as delightful as the premise promises! A thoroughly enjoyable, wickedly twisty, heartwarmingly funny debut!"

(Feral Love, book 1)
Allie Oleander
"Willing Prey is a truly astounding amount of fun! Intense and scorching and fast paced, full of characters I've just met but already gotten attached to, with a love interest who is epically down bad. Immaculate in its filth, as well as a beautifully empowering story about negotiated kink and the thrill of finding one's perfect match."
As Long As You're Mine (2025)
Nekesa Afia
"Passionate, emotional, suspenseful, and intensely human. Nekesa Afia writes a lush and atmospheric story like no one else, and As Long as You're Mine is no exception. At once sensual and chilling, it's a raw, unflinching look at the things we do in the name of identity, survival, and love. It's the kind of novel that forces you to turn the pages until you get to the end. A sensational story, penned by a sensational writer."
Tourist Season (2025)
(Seasons of Carnage Trilogy, book 1)
Brynne Weaver
"Brynne Weaver has a unique knack for creating characters and settings that are at once hilarious and dark, chilling and charming!

"Sensual, poetic, and full of delicious, excruciating yearning. If Not For My Baby is the kind of book I love to recommend to everyone in search of an emotionally resonant, profoundly romantic read. A tender, determined, heartfelt look at the vulnerable business of falling in love. Kate Golden wrote a chart topping hit worthy of Thomas Patrick Halloran."
For the Record (2025)
Emma Lord
"An absolute homerun! It has the very best of fake-dating (with some delicious meta-commentary on the trope), revenge, second chance, a grumpy hero to die for, and the perfect amount of tea! Emma Lord brings on the steam, and her voice is engaging, hilarious, and an utter pleasure to read. The Break-Up Pact is a fantastic romcom!"

Like a warm hug, that also made me laugh, and also took my breath away and made my heart explode. It's like the author took every single trope I adore and executed them in the most perfect way. A magnificent book, and I cannot wait for it to become everyone's favorite and to bring them as much joy as it brought me!"
Silver Elite (2025)
(Silver Elite, book 1)
Dani Francis
"Dani Francis wrote the adult dystopian romance I've been wanting to read for the longest time, and she gave me everything I craved and more!

Temple of Swoon (2025)
Jo Segura
"A thrilling, page-turning story that will take readers for a wild ride.

Jo Segura delivered the ultimate enemies-to-lovers adventure romcom!"
Bull Moon Rising (2024)
(Royal Artifactual Guild, book 1)
Ruby Dixon
"Ruby Dixon can do it all: she builds a stunning world, creates compelling, lovable characters, and then hits me with the minotaur smut I always knew I wanted. I came for the monster sex, but what really drew me in is a beautifully poignant story of found family, in which two outcasts team up to take on a broken system and fall in love in the process. (I mean, the monster smut drew me in, too...) This better be the first in a whole series, because I am OBSESSED with everyone. Bull Moon Rising is simply glorious, and Ruby Dixon and The Sacred Knot have my whole heart!"
The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year (2024)
(Kiss Merry Kill, book 1)
Ally Carter
"Ally Carter wrote a unique, delightful, hilarious, unputdownable romance! I didn't know I needed an adventure romcom about grumpy/sunshine spies with amazing chemistry and a dash of amnesia, but it was exactly what was missing in my life. I'm wonderstruck by The Blonde Identity! (Also, this book needs to be a movie!)"
It Had to Be You (2024)

Sex, Lies and Sensibility (2024)
Nikki Payne
"Sex, Lies and Sensibilities is the second time that Nikki absolutely amazes me. Her ability to take in Jane Austen's works, to adapt them for contemporary sensibilities, and - I know, bold statement - to improve on them by doing justice by characters that Jane did dirty is unparalleled. I will read whatever she writes, whenever she writes it, and I will not rest until the entire world is made aware of the absolute magic of a Nikki Payne book. No one writes like her, and I truly feel so blessed that we are contemporaries and I get to enjoy the products of her marvelous mind!"

The Breakup Tour (2024)
Austin Siegemund-Broka and Emily Wibberley

The perfect read for everyone who wants to relive the spectacular summer of The Eras Tour!"
Technically Yours (2023)
Denise Williams
"If, hypothetically, Denise Williams decided to establish an academy (let's call it The University of DW) and offered courses on how to write pent-up sexual tension, steamy banter, and enemies to lovers, I would burst into the classroom and yell 'TAKE MY MONEY!!' The writing is unmatched, the chemistry is on fire, and Do You Take This Man has one of the steamiest, most addictive, most satisfyingly hard-earned happily-ever-after I've read in ages!"
Woke Up Like This (2023)
Amy Lea
"Woke Up Like This is witty, earnest, charming, and intensely seventeen. It perfectly captures the highs and lows of being on the brink of big life changes and the thrill of first love (and first hate)."
Sweeten the Deal (2023)
Katie Shepard

(Hurricane Wars, book 1)
Thea Guanzon

I am utterly enchanted by the lushness of her prose, the uniqueness of the setting, the spellbinding story she has gifted us with. I physically could not stop reading! Thea Guanzon's talent is limitless, and she is the kind of writer that comes around once in a generation. Mark my words: lives will be changed by The Hurricane Wars trilogy."
This Spells Disaster (2023)
Tori Anne Martin
"This Spell Disaster is the queer witchy romcom of my heart! I loved the small town setting, the magic system, the feel-good humor of the story, but above all I loved Rory and Morgan's transition from friends into lovers, and the way they constantly made each better! Teen Witch meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in this delightfully heartwarming, enchanted romance."
You, with a View (2023)
Jessica Joyce
"Jessica Joyce has gifted all of us with an electrifying debut, and the perfect summer read! If you love your flirting paired with a healthy dose of roasting, rivals turned lovers, road trips that become journeys of self discovery, hilarious but sexy banter, and steamy love stories, this is the beach read you want to pick up! A million out of five stars!"

Hannah Whitten has built a world that is as dark as it is fascinating, romantic and disturbing. If you like found families, courtly intrigue, high-stake secrets, hot priests, powerful characters who are on a journey to accepting themselves and learning to wield their powers, and a dash (okay, more than that) of necromancy, The Foxglove King will be the book of your dreams--and your nightmares."

I cheered, I cried, I swooned while reading about Blake and Kat, and their journeys to finding love, to finding themselves, and to becoming the sisters they were always meant to be.

"Go Hex Yourself is one of those books: the ones you read even though you should be getting ready for work; the ones you cannot help telling your friends about; the ones that make you giggle out loud on the bus; the ones that are so addictively charming, engaging, cinematic, you just cross your fingers and hope someone will turn them into a movie. And that's because Go Hex Yourself is a romantic masterpiece, and the sexiest, most bewitching take on enemies to lovers I've read in ages. I want to live in the worlds Jessica Clare creates, and I cannot wait for her next book."
