Most of the books on this list are such well-known hits it’s almost ridiculous for me to recommend them to you now. However, I’d like to provide at least some romances for you to read if you’re feeling particularly festive this Valentine’s Day! And it occurred to me while compiling this list that while romance is my favorite genre, I have read a lot more duds than I would like over the last few years. Maybe a new goal for me this year should be to read more romances that I love…
Here are 14 romances that I’ve given either 4⭐️ or 5⭐️ over the last few years. You might find a new favorite read for this February 14th, or this could be the nudge you need to reread one of your faves! (By the way, these are in absolutely no particular order.)
