In today’s post, I share my next post in my romance recs series. I thought I would do something different today and share some of the romances that I’ve loved reading this year. Some are recent reviews and some are authors blacklists. But I’m really excited to share my favourites with you all. 

The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune: None of you should be surprised that this has made my list. It’s one of my favourite books this year and one of my favourites of all time. It’s a magical and profound novel that truly takes the reader on an experience. It will make you smile and laugh and just feel safe. It’s a warm novel that does with what it’s like to be a little different. You can check out my full review now. 

The Fallen Men series by Giana Darling: I’ve spoken about this series a few times recently, but I seriously love it. It does include a few questionable romances. But I think it’s such an interesting MC series. There are some intense moments for sure, but it’s not as dark as some of the ones that I have read. After the Fall, killed me. But I’m really excited for the next book! eck. It’s coming out in the next couple of months and the snippets have made me so excited. 

Kings of Mayhem MC by Penny Dee: Another MC series that I picked up recently and loved. I really like the dynamics of characters in this one. I really enjoy the family aspect and I can’t wait to read more. Each novel is different but also ties together the overall arching story – which I really enjoy. 

The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata: I’ve been slowly making my way through Mariana Zapata’s backlist and this is the second one I’ve read so far. I really enjoyed this one. I think like most of her books the romance is really slow, but I enjoy that. Especially in contrast to other romances novels of the same nature. Anyway, I really enjoyed this one. 

Rebel (Women Who Dare #1) by Beverly Jenkins: Rebel is such a fantastic historical romance and I can’t wait to read more from Beverly Jenkins. The romance was fantastic, the characters were entertaining and I want to know more about the family. I already have a couple of ebooks on hold for me to read. 

The Ones Who Got Away Series by Roni Loren: This series had been on my tbr for some time, but I finally picked up the first two books a few months ago. I really enjoyed them both so much. They tore me to pieces, but they were fantastic. I’m hoping to finish the series this year, but I’m taking it slowly because I just cry. 

Hades Hangmen by Tillie Cole: If you don’t like dark books then this series is not for you. It’s not for the faint-hearted and I really would not recommend it to most people. But if you like dark MC romances then this one is for you. I can’t wait for more books in this series cause things are getting interesting! 

Old Fashioned (Becker Brothers #4) by Kandi Steiner: This has to be my favourite from the series. I enjoyed the others, but this one really stood out to me. I loved the romance, the family feels it just made me feel happy. It was also a great wrap up to the series and the overall arching storyline. 

Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore: I loved Bringing Down the Duke. It was fun and entertaining, while also being heartbreaking and challenging. The romance between Annabell and Sebastian was swoon-worthy and exactly what I want from my historical romances. 

Chasing Cassandra (The Ravenels #6) by Lisa Kleypas:  The romance is adorable and I loved seeing both Tom and Cassandra fall for one another. This was a fantastic final book in the Ravenels series and wrapped up everything so well. Lisa Kleypas knows how to write addicting storylines, beautiful romances and books that will leave the reader with a smile on their face. 

Great and Precious Things by Rebecca Yarros: This is heartbreaking, beautiful and just so good. Camden and Willow were perfect protagonists that each had their own story. Rebecca Yarros knows how to tear me apart and she did again. The romance in this one is so perfect, it’s a friend to lovers, to absolutely perfect. 

And that is it for this post. Those are some of my favourite romance books I’ve read so far this year! Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Let’s Chat!
