It Happened One Summer: A Novel
A woman who loves the arts (music, film, etc) becomes friends with the local f-boy. He may not be as he seems at face value though.
Hook, Line, and Sinker: A Novel (Bellinger Sisters)
Fantasy Romance
Looking for a little magic to mix up your day to day? You'll find all things fantastically spicy here!
This was my #1 read of 2022. Nobody is more surprised than me, I assure you. It's a YA book, so not spicy, but the angst and steam is definitely there and I adored every second of it! Also, did I mention the dragons yet? Hehe
Together We Burn: Ibañez, Isabel: Books
Speaking of dragons... heres one that is most definently not YA haha. This was my intro into monster romance and well... I loved it.
The Dragon's Bride (A Deal With A Demon Book 1)
The first Graphic Novel i've picked up in years and oh boy did this one steal my heart. I've always enjoyed greek mythology, and this gives such a beautiful and artistic spin on Hade's and Persephone's story. (I've read all of the currently released ...
Lore Olympus: Volume One: Smythe, Rachel
It won't be everyones cup of tea, but if you enjoy vast magic systems, a college dynamic, and dark romance, this is for you! Basically its HP but if the bad guys ran the school! (its a long series btw)
Zodiac Academy: The Awakening
Dark Romance
Sometimes we just want to watch our characters go through it, and thats okay! Anything thats dark/angsty will be here! (Check TW for all books)
Did someone say they wanted a badass group of lgbtq+ characters? Well this is it. Its dark and sexy in every way!
Angels In The Dark (Descent Into Darkness Book 1)
The main love interest is not a great guy, just know that going into this. I see the red flags, I just am choosing to ignore them haha. Full of angst and mystery, this entire series is addictive!
Ruthless Letters: A Grey Bully Romance
This girl is insane, no doubt about it. But I love her. That is all.
Satan's Affair - Carlton, H. D.
A Mafia MFM?! Yes please. This is the second book in the series, but it's my favorite of them all. That being said, the entire series is gold so go read it lol.
I'll Burn Anyone (Challenge Night Series Book 2)
This whole series makes me cry just thinking about it. Such beautiful representation of mental health and MM relationships.
Bruised But Not Broken (Spark of Hope)
A mafia series based off of popular villain personalities?! Yes! This one specifically is based on 2 Face and when I tell you i'm obsessed?!?
Chances (The Divine Corruption Series)
A religious sweetheart meets a bad boy. That's all i'll say on this one *wink*
Sinners & Saints: Sky, Lana, Doyle, Molly
YA Romance
Nothing compares to a good YA book. It's, for me at least, the perfect way to wind down after a particularly stressful-day.
One of the most heartwarming series ive ever read. Just a bunch of feel good moments packed into an adorable art style!
Heartstopper Volume One: Oseman, Alice
