By day, Jenna Levine works to increase access to affordable housing in the American South. By night, she writes romance novels where ridiculous things happen to beautiful people.
When Jenna isn't writing she can usually be found crying over k-dramas, starting knitting projects she won't finish, or spending time with her family and small army of cats.
Alma Vampires (2026) (Icarus University, book 1) Elena Armas "Elena Armas once again proves she is the queen of romantic pining. And with Alma Vampires she has also given us the slow-burning, blisteringly sexy vampire romance of my dreams (and probably yours, too). I literally cannot wait for the next book in this series!"
Doomsdate (2026) Laura Piper Lee "An absolutely delicious fever dream of a book that is hilarious, gory, sweet, and sexy in equal measure . . . One part zombie apocalypse story, one part rom-com, and one part road trip from hell - and Laura Piper Lee balances every element to perfection. I am low-key obsessed with any author who can come up a premise this unhinged (affectionate!) and execute it so well. All the stars."
Half City (2026) (Harker Academy , book 1) Kate Golden "Packed with edge-of-your-seat action, steamy scenes that will set your curtains on fire, and some of the wittiest banter I've ever read, Half City is the urban fantasy / dark academia book this Buffy fangirl has been waiting for all her life. I don't know what sort of magic Kate Golden weaves into her books but I hope she never stops. The Harker Academy series is my newest obsession."
Books & Bewitchment (2026) (Arcadia Fall, book 1) Isla Jewell "Books & Bewitchment is brimming with charming characters, magic, a guy who might just be the world's sexiest handyman, and so much heart. Isla Jewell cast a spell on me that I never wanted to end!"
Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore (2025) Emily Krempholtz "Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore is a book to curl up on the couch with, a fire blazing in the hearth and a cup of something warm and delicious in your hands. Emily Krempholtz' debut is lyrical and swoony (Nathaniel the grumpy alchemist is definitely my newest book boyfriend), and a wonderfully hopeful story of second chances that I never wanted to end. Pure magic!"
Willing Prey (2025) (Feral Love, book 1) Allie Oleander "Willing Prey is just as spicy as you think it is, with undercurrents of heart and humor that kept me just as captivated as the chase. Allie Oleander's sparkling debut will have you booking your next vacation in the woods before you've even made it to the last page. (This book will also have you fanning yourself. A lot. Ask me how I know.)"
Zomromcom (2025) (Supernatural Entanglements, book 1) Olivia Dade "With heart pounding action, delightfully madcap humor, and a swoony romance to lose your head over, Olivia Dade's Zomromcom is a riotously good time from start to finish. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!"
Wedding Dashers (2025) Heather McBreen "Wedding Dashers has everything I look for in a romantic comedy: whipsmart banter, sizzling chemistry, and two incredibly compelling leads I fell for right from the very first page. I cheered so loudly when Jack and Ada finally found their way to each other it could probably be heard from space. Heather McBreen is a romcom author to watch!"
Temple of Swoon (2025) Jo Segura "Jo Segura has done it again! Temple of Swoon is everything I'm looking for in an adventure romance. It's full of humor and heart-pounding action, and is steamier than the Amazon itself. I was riveted from beginning to end!"
For One Night Only (2025) (Glitter Bats, book 1) Jessica James "Jessica James bursts onto the stage with For One Night Only, a sensational debut about first love, heartbreak, and getting your second chance while the whole world's watching. Valerie and Caleb's journey back to their music--and back to each other--had me grinning and kicking my feet 'til the very last note."
Love You a Latke (2024) Amanda Elliot "Love You a Latke is the Hallmark Hanukkah movie I've been waiting for all my life. Seth's and Abby's lovely story of fake dating and meddling parents, small town Hanukkah festivals and finding friendship in unexpected places, is a cozy delight, and as sweet and inviting as a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter night. I loved every word!"
Best Hex Ever (2024) Nadia El-Fassi "Best Hex Ever is as comforting as a mug of hot chocolate on a cold autumn night, and just as sweet. Pure magic."
So Thirsty (2024) Rachel Harrison "So Thirsty is quirky, empowering, and scary as hell, and a unique spin on the idea that to start living, sometimes you just gotta take a bite out of life itself. Wild and unforgettable!"
Haunt Your Heart Out (2024) Amber Roberts "Filled with cozy small-town vibes, a sweet and lovely romance, and some delightfully spooky ghost stories that will make believers out of us all, Haunt Your Heart Out will warm the hearts of everyone this holiday season."
The Ornithologist's Field Guide to Love (2024) (Love's Academic, book 1) India Holton "By Jove! ORNITHOLOGISTS is a delightfully madcap rivals-to-lovers romp featuring India Holton's trademark wit, genteel ladies who enjoy tea with their fisticuffs - and of course, oodles of magical murder birds. I was charmed from beginning to end!"
What the Hex (2023) Jessica Clare "Jessica Clare's What the Hex is a delightfully sweet and sexy romp that had me turning pages as fast as I could read them. Willem and Penny are grumpy/sunshine par excellence, and watching them spar with each other was every bit as delicious as watching them fall in love. I can't wait for the next spellbinding book in this series!"
