Love to read? Me too! Here are my favorites romance and rom com books to make you swoon with a little spice.
One of the best books I’ve read and I never see it talked about.
The Light We Lost: Reese's Book Club
The sequel to The Light We Lost, it is good and I needed the closure but the first book was definitely better
The Love We Found (The Light We Lost Book 2)
Abby Jimenez writes the absolute best books! I can read them in a day if I have time because you can’t put them down. While they can be stand alone, I do recommend reading in order because the characters are carried through the books.
Part of Your World
This was my favorite of the Part of Your World Series. I loved learning Briana and Jacob’s story
Yours Truly
This is the latest in the Part of Your World Series which, like all her books, was an amazing, quick read for those who love romantic stories with a laugh
Just for the Summer
The Friend Zone series is just as good as the Part of Your World Series. I read this in one day and couldn’t put it down!
The Friend Zone
Book number 2 for the Friend Zone series and it may have been my favorite. I’m a sucker for a happy story that includes a happy ending for a dog
The Happy Ever After Playlist (Friend Zone 2)
Book 3 in the Friend Zone series, another great story to the series about Vanessa and Adrian. Also on Kindle Unlimited right now
Life's Too Short (The Friend Zone Book 3)
This is a short story that adds to Maddy and Doug’s story. It’s the addition I didn’t know I needed
The Situationship
One of the best books I’ve ever read! Seriously I don’t even know what else to say except get this book and read it immediately!
Love and Other Words
I laughed out loud at this book! Definitely recommend

I love the Dream Harbor series. They are quick reads and I love as they progress learning more about each of the characters. This is the first book and I really enjoyed it.
The Pumpkin Spice Café: Viral TikTok Romcom
This is book 2 in the Dream Harbor series and it follows Hazel and Noah who we learn a little about in the first book. It is a little spicy too!
The Cinnamon Bun Book Store: Cozy Fall Romance
Book 3 from Dream Harbor brings us a new character, Kira! We bring back Bennett, who’s Jeanie’s brother from the first book. I liked this one more than one and two.
The Christmas Tree Farm: Grumpy Sunshine Romcom
Book 4 from Dream Harbor brings us another new character, Archer. Iris who we’ve known through all the books takes center stage in the Strawberry Patch Pancake House!
The Strawberry Patch Pancake House: Small-Town Romance (Dream Harbor 4)

We already know book 6 from Dream Harbor is coming out in May 2026 featuring a character we briefly met in book 5, Daisy and newcomer Elliott who we also met briefly in the Gingerbread Bakery! You can preorder it now!

I love all of Emily Henry’s books. This was an enjoyable read that kept me hooked but if I could only pick one Emily Henry book it’d be Book Lovers.
People We Meet on Vacation
This is one of Emily Henry’s most popular books. I personally didn’t enjoy it as much as the others she’s written but it was still good
