Rachel Runya Katz recommends
Hopelessly Teavoted (2025)
Audrey Goldberg Ruoff
"Whimsical, horny, and - despite its macabre premise - heartwarmingly optimistic, Hopelessly Teavoted is a thoroughly charming debut. Audrey Goldberg Ruoff is an exciting new voice in romance, and I can't wait to see what magical world she cooks up next."
Girl Next Door (2025)
Rachel Meredith
"Rachel Meredith wowed me with her debut. GIRL NEXT DOOR has a brilliant premise with absolutely excellent execution, and, perhaps more importantly, the perfect balance of heart and grit."
When Javi Dumped Mari (2025)
Mia Sosa
"With When Javi Dumped Mari, Mia Sosa adds yet another sexy, fun, and satisfying romance to her oeuvre. The expertly deployed dual timeline heightened the yearning and made the arc of Javi and Mari's relationship feel epic. I was dying for these characters to get out of their own way, and I savored it from beginning to end."
