Amanda Sellet recommends

He's to Die For (2025)
Erin Dunn
"Whether you come for the mystery or the romance, Erin Dunn's He's To Die For is as urbane and charming as its hero, Detective Rav Trivedi. Forget the old-school clich? of a rumpled cynic in an ill-fitting suit; your new favorite sleuth is a dapper Anglo-American with a killer fashion sense and famous parents. When a high-profile investigation brings Rav into the orbit of brooding rockstar Jack Vale, the tension is equal parts will-they-or-won't-they and did-he-or-didn't-he, since Vale is the prime suspect in the murder of a sleazy record executive. Like its New York setting, To Die For mixes glitz and grittiness with an irresistible romance. Streaming services, take note-and make sure your wardrobe budget is ready to do justice to Detective Trivedi."

She Doesn't Have a Clue (2025)
Jenny Elder Moke
"[A] smoldering second-chance romance. KILLER banter, and red herrings galore."

Epically Earnest (2022)
Molly Horan
"How do you update Oscar Wilde for the internet age? In Molly Horan's charming debut, the answer is to wrap the dazzling wordplay around a gentle - even earnest - exploration of new love and old wounds. Epically Earnest is a hopeful, romantic, sharply observed comedy of manners with a winning cast, and a group dance number that belongs in the rom-com hall of fame."
