Must Reads: Romance Books

Books· books 2016· Uncategorized

Hi friends! Today’s post is for all you readers out there. Y’all know I’m a huge reader and one of my favorite genres has to be romance. I’m a sucker for a good love story and I’m sharing some of my all time favorites with y’all today! 
Follow my on GoodReads to see what I’m reading and follow my bookstagram account to see pictures! 🙂
The Selection Series
The selection series is one of my all time favorite series. It’s the perfect cross between The Hunger Games and The Bachelor. I adore the romance in this book and I love the fact that it reads like a Bachelor TV from the future. The first three books are pretty much perfection (except for Aspen). The series should have stopped at the third. The author went on to write two more and they are awful (in my opinion). 
Love, Chloe
I discovered Alessandra Torre back in the summer and I just love her books. I’ve read Love, Chloe, Hollywood Dirt, and moonshot. Moonshot is my favorite, but I just adore the cover of Love, Chloe (the book is great,too!) This one is about a privileged girl who loses her money and has to make it own her own. She moves apartments in NYC and falls in love with her neighbor. Such a sweet story. 🙂
The Wedding Belle Series
Lauren Layne is one of my very favorite romance authors. She’s written a ton of books, but her wedding belle series is the only one that is available in paperback. All her other books are available as ebooks. That isn’t my favorite way to read, but for Lauren Layne I’ll force myself! She writes different series that feature the same set of characters. I LOVE finding new series like this. Be sure and check out her Oxford series. It’s another favorite. My absolute favorite book by her is her newest one: Love Story. It’s about a road trip with two characters who have grown up with each other but had a falling out years ago. So good!
The Hating Game
I read The Hating Game back in August and I can safely say it is now one of my top 10 favorite books of all time. There is just something about this book that made me grin the entire time I was reading it. I even laughed out loud several times and I never do that. I love, love, love this book. If you only read one book this entire year, I beg you to try this one! 
To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
If you’re looking for a sweet story about first love, look no further than Jenny Hann’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. This book reminds me of a 1950’s high school love story. I mean, the main characters’ names are Peter and Laura Jean. I love this story. It originally was suppose to be a duo -logy, but there is a third book coming out in May. 
Monster: A Love Story
This one spans over 4 years, which I normally hate, but with this book it worked. This story follows a girl who gets her book of poetry turned into a movie that is being produced by a hot Hollywood actor. The two characters fall in love after what begins as just a fling. There was just something about this one that I loved. 
November 9
Okay, if you haven’t heard about Colleen Hoover, you must be living under a rock. CH books are addictive and always have a shocking twist. November 9 is my favorite of her books. This one follows two characters and how they meet on the same day every year. It sounds like One Day, which I didn’t love that much, but this one is fabulous. I NEVER saw the twist coming and had serious doubts about the two characters getting together at the end. Such a good book!
Anything You Can Do
When I read this book, I thought R.S. Grey was going to be my new go to author. Then I read 3 other by her and didn’t love them. But this one is SO GOOD. It’s about two people who have grown up with each other and have hated each other for as long as they can remember. They go away to college and both become doctors. They return to their hometown and start working at the same place. It reminded me of The Hating Game. I loved this one!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
