2025 was a pretty good year reading wise for me, and while I didn’t read as mnay books as I usually do. I still had a pretty good year. I read across so many romance genres last year and just had a great time. And while there wasn’t many 5-Star reads, I still had a pretty solid year and thought it was time to share some of my favourites.

From contemporary romance, to fantasy and dark romances, I read a little bit of everything in 2025 and I had a great time. I tried to keep this list small but it never really works that way. I also did try and keep it to one book per series, but a couple snuck though. So, let’s get into it. Here are on my 2025 favourites.

Binding 13 (Boys of Tommen, #1) by Chloe Walsh. | All I Need (The Knights, #1) by E. Salvador. | Beautiful Exile (Sparrow Falls, #4) by Catherine Cowles. | Chasing Shelter (Sparrow Falls, #5) by Catherine Cowles.

Secret Haven (Sparrow Falls, #6) by Catherine Cowles.  | Slap Shot (D.C. Stars, #3) by Chelsea Curto. | Hat Trick (D.C. Stars, #4). | Cowboy Casual (The Calloway Ranch, #1) by Holly Renee.

On Guard (The Hastings, #2) by Kels Stone and Denise Stone. | Highest Point (The Hastings, #3) by Kels Stone and Denise Stone. | Heated Rivalry (Game Changers, #2) by Rachel Reid. | The Long Game (Game Changers, #6) by Rachel Reid.

Please Don’t Go by E. Salvador. | Wyatt (Lucky River Ranch, #2) by Jessica Peterson. | Bourbon & Lies (The Bourbon Boys, #1) by Victoria Wilder. | Learn Your Lesson (Kings of the Ice, #3) by Kandi Steiner.

In The Dark by Chelsea Curto. | Wrath of an Exile (River Styx Heathens, #1) by Monty Jay.

There we go, those were my favourite reads in 2025. There was clearly a lot of contempoary and sports romance that made it on to here. But I am not surprised. What made it to your list? Did any of mine? What are you looking forward to reading in 2026? So, let’s chat!
