Known for nerdy, funny romances with strong female leads, academic settings, and plenty of banter.
This is such a cute pick if you like fake dating and a good grumpy-sunshine pairing. Olive and Adam have great chemistry, and I liked the whole academic setting. It made the story feel different from the usual rom-com. An easy, fun read when you want...

Love, Theoretically
I loved this one if you’re looking for a fun, easy rom-com. The enemies-to-lovers tension between Bee and Levi is so good, and I loved the NASA/STEM setting. Such a cute, entertaining read!

The Score (Off-Campus, #3)
Sabrina is the ambitious, organized one who has her whole future planned out, so Tucker is definitely not part of the plan. Their story takes a more unexpected turn than the others, and I liked seeing them figure out how to balance romance with every...
The Goal (Off-Campus, #4)
Definitely save this one for the end! It’s basically a little reunion with all four couples, so it feels more like catching up with old friends than starting a new romance. I liked getting to see what happened after college and where everyone ended u...
The Legacy (Off-Campus, #5)
Nicholas Sparks
If you want romance with a heavier emotional side, his stories are known for love, heartbreak, and plenty of tears.
If you’re looking for a romance that’s going to pull at your heartstrings, this is a good one. Travis and Gabby’s story starts with a rocky first impression and turns into something much deeper. It’s emotional, romantic, and definitely one of those b...
