For Her Consideration (2023)Amy Spalding"A fiercely funny, super sexy story about believing in your dreams, finding your chosen family, and letting yourself be loved. After reading For Her Consideration, I'm in love with both Los Angeles and Ari Fox. Amy Spalding has such a gift for snappy dialogue and loving, quirky friend groups, and I'll read everything she writes."Lucy on the Wild Side (2022)Kerry Rea"Lucy on The Wild Side had me genuinely laughing out loud at Lucy's hilarious thoughts and her banter with Kai. With its perfect blend of humor and poignant moments, this is a rom-com that will capture your heart. Kerry Rea is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors!" Love in the Time of Serial Killers (2022)Alicia Thompson"Love in the Time of Serial Killers is a smart, sexy, and unique rom-com that I couldn?t put down! Phoebe is an immensely relatable and likable character, one whose prickly exterior hides a deep fear of vulnerability. It's a joy to watch her realize that the only thing scarier than a grisly murder is falling in love. The dialogue is laugh out loud funny and the pop culture references are unexpected and hilarious, but the book really shines because of its warmth and heart. Phoebe's relationships with Sam, her brother Conner, and even a stray cat are enough to make even the most hardened true crime fan tear up." No Funny Business (2022)Amanda Aksel"Brimming with pop culture references and hilarious situations, No Funny Business is a smart, sharp look at the world of stand-up comedy. It was a joy to watch Olivia learn that the only thing riskier than stepping on stage is falling in love." As Seen on TV (2022)Meredith Schorr"Perfect for anyone who's ever dreamed of escaping into the world of Hallmark movies with small-town festivals, quaint bakeries, and friendly townspeople. It was so much fun to watch Adina learn that sometimes real life and true love are a bit messier (but way better) than TV." Set on You (2022)(Influencer, book 1)Amy Lea"Set on You is an incredibly fun and sexy slow burn, enemies-to-lovers rom-com that had me invested from the first page. And in between all the steamy and swoony scenes, there's also a thoughtful exploration of body positivity and the true meaning of loving yourself." Never Been Kissed (2022)(Boy Meets Boy, book 1)Timothy Janovsky"A joy-filled story about first love and finding yourself, Never Been Kissed is a nostalgic but still totally fresh read that's full of heart. Wren is an absolutely adorable rom-com hero, and his movie references make this the perfect romance for film buffs." Mr. Wrong Number (2022)Lynn Painter"Filled with laugh-out-loud situations and moments of heart-fluttering swooniness, Mr. Wrong Number is a true romantic comedy.

Love, Lists, and Fancy Ships (2021)Sarah Grunder Ruiz"I laughed, I cried, and I became super invested in Jo's delightfully slow burn romance with the single dad known as Hot Yacht Chef. This is the perfect beach read, as long as your beach bag contains a box of tissues." The Donut Trap (2021)Julie Tieu"Julie Tieu's debut is a sweet and sparkly love story about figuring out what you really want out of life and having the courage to go for it. Many readers will relate to Jasmine and her post-college struggles as she attempts to find love and a new job outside of her family's donut shop. I loved her family and the way they supported each other, even when they didn't always understand each other. This realistic, donut-filled romance is such a treat." Payback's a Witch (2021)(Witches of Thistle Grove, book 1)Lana Harper"A sexy, charming, and completely magical romance full of sparkling dialogue and loveable characters. Emmy’s quest to find out where she belongs is so relatable, with some spells and supernatural elements included to spice things up. And Emmy’s hometown, Thistle Grove, is so enchanting that I found myself wishing I could plan a visit! Reading Payback's a Witch is like curling up with a big mug of cider on a perfect autumn day." The Layover (2021)Lacie Waldon"Once I started The Layover, I couldn't put it down! Lacie Waldon has written a super fun, witty, and romantic enemies-to-lovers rom-com that had me flying through the pages.
