I just want to make a quick note, there are a lot of indie books being picked up right now, so at the time of this post, all these series are indie and self-published.

Indie Romance Books That I Have Loved

Jul 21, 2022

As you may know, I’m doing the Indie Accords Readathon this month – which you can check out more here. So today I thought I would share the indie books I’ve enjoyed reading over the last few years and think that you may like as well.

This list isn’t everything. I have read a lot of indie and self-published books over the last 3 years especially. But these are the ones I’ve really enjoyed and want to share with you all. As I mostly read indie romance books, I’ve decided to just include those in this post today.

Just a quick note, please check the trigger warnings for each of these books. There are some dark romances, and other triggering content mentioned in some of these books.

Another thing if it’s a series, I’ve just shared the whole series, rather than each book in the series. If’s a standalone book in a series, with no continuous story, I’ve only shared which book I’ve loved.

So let’s get into it. These are the indie and self-published romances that I have loved reading. As always these are in no real order.

And there we go! Those are just some of the indie romances that I have really enjoyed reading, and hope that you do to. Hae you read any of these? What did you think of them? What are some of your favourite indie and self-published romance books? Let’s Chat!

If You Liked This Popular TikTok Book Read This One…

Mar 24, 2022

I thought I would have a little fun today and share some books that I want more people to read but with a twist. Today I share recommendations for books to read from popular Tiktok books.

Sometimes you see books over and over again in videos and recommendations. And while I think that is fantastic and I love seeing people read books that I have really enjoyed. I thought it would be fun to share books that I don’t see recommended often. Or they just aren’t as popular.

Some of the books I’m mentioned are newer books, some are older. I also tried to mix up the recommendations from sports romances, to dark romances to fantasy and more.

I do want to quickly mention, that the for you page on tiktok is bad differently for each person so while I may see more of one book, you may see another. Anyway, let’s go. As always these are in no order.

I know that these two authors are co-authors of quite a few books. And the blogging community loves Sarina Bowen. But It’s rare that I see any love for Sarina Bowen over on Tiktok. But if you love The Off-Campus series from Elle Kennedy, you will love The Ivy Years by Sarina Bowen. This series is absolutely fantastic, and if not better than Elle Kennedy’s.

You all know that I adore Katee Robert and her Dark Olympus series. But if you loved that or want to try something new in Greek Mythology retellings. Then you need to read Drag Me Up by R.M. Virtues. I’ve just read the first book in their series but I am hanging to read the rest and I cannot wait. It’s on that similar darkest leave and smutty as hell. I love seeing what different people do with retellings and the world that R.M Virtues has created is so fascinating.

While the themes of these books don’t match up exactly. You will feel the same at the end. If you liked reading It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover, then you need to read The Last Letter by Rebecca Yarros. You will be left broken and hurt by The Last Letter, but it is hands down till this day one of my favourite books. I cannot explain how much I sobbed in this one. Both books deal with a lot of hard issues that make you really think about things.

I know there are a lot of people out there that have read and loved From Lukov with Love by Mariana Zapata including me. Then you should try Crossing the Ice (Ice #1) by Jennifer Comeaux. While this isn’t as smutty as some of the books on this list. I loved it so much. It’s quite a few years old now, but whenever the Winter Olympics come around I want to read it. It’s a new adult sports romance that just hits all the right spots.

And there we go. Those are the books that I would recommend if you like these particular popular books on Tiktok. Have you read any of these books? Are you planning on reading them? What are some popular books on Tiktok that you want to read a book that is similar? Let’s Chat!
