Romance Recs | Binge-Worthy Romance Series

Romance Recs | Binge-Worthy Romance Series

Sep 19, 2020

Today it’s time for another romacne recommendations posts. Today I’m sharing some of my favourite binge-worthy series. I recently did this with YA series and since I love binge reading romance series, even more, I thought it would be fun. 

I love starting a romance series and finishing it in a couple of days. And I don’t know why. But I love that I can immerse myself into the world and only get out when it’s finished. So today I’m sharing some of my favourite series that I think are binge-worthy. Like always these are in no particular order. 

Becker Brothers by Kandi Steiner: This series was such an interesting and binge-worthy. I adore family series and this one has to be one of my favourites. It’s fun, entertaining and addicting. I couldn’t stop reading. I loved that there was an overarching story throughout the whole series too. 

WAGS series by Naima Simone: This series was such a fun one to binge read. I know that there is most likely more to come, but I think I would still feel the same way. It’s fun and easy. It’s a little emotional, but nothing that will tear you apart. You can check out my series review now. 

Duke Dynasty by Sabrina Jeffries: This is such a fantastic historical romance that is perfect for binge reading. There are still more books to come, but even then I would binge read it. It’s another one that has a plot that goes through all the books and I love it. 

The Fallen Men by Giana Darling: MC series are some of my favourites to binge read. And The Fallen Men Series is binge-worthy. It’s hot and heavy and I want to know what’s going to happen next. I read all the books that were out in just a few days, I couldn’t put them down. 

Cloverleigh Farms Series by Melanie Harlow: This is the perfect binge-worthy series. Each book can stand on its own, but it all works so well together. The romances are fantastic and I couldn’t put this series down once I started. It has all the tropes that I adore and makes me want to keep on reading. 

All the King’s Men Duet by Kennedy Ryan: This duet is binge-worthy because you need to know what’s going to happen next. You can’t finish the first book and not jump to the second. There is too much at stake to just stop reading. 

Fallen Angel by Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine: I wasn’t expecting to like this series as much as I did. It’s one of those series that you have to read books back to back. There are cliffhangers and you will want to keep on reading. And it’s one that you can easily binge read. 

Wallflowers series by Lisa Kleypas: If this isn’t a binge-worthy series I don’t know what is. This is one of my favourite series that I binge read. I just couldn’t stop reading the books. I think this is my favourite of all her series. Maybe because it’s the first I read, or maybe because I love the friendships so much. 

Brooklyn Bruisers by Sarina Bowen: This is one of my favourite sports romance series and I think it’s one of the most binge-worthy. It’s addicting to read, even when I re-read this series I end up binge reading it. I think this is my favourite Sarina Bowen series for sure. 

 

And those are some of my favourite binge-worthy romances series! Do we share any that is the same? What are yours? Let’s Chat! 

 

Romance Recs: Favourite Historical Romances

Romance Recs: Favourite Historical Romances

Aug 27, 2020

This year I’ve started a new feature where I share my romance recommendations for certain genres and sub-genres. And I can’t believe that I haven’t done a historical romance one yet and I thought today was about time. 

I’ve been reading historical romances for over two years now and its slowly become one of my favourite subgenres of romance. It has everything that I love in a romance and more. So today I’m sharing some of my favourite historical romances that I think everyone should read. Like always these are in no order. 

Unmasked by the Marquess (Regency Imposters #1) by Cat Sebastian: I not only love this book so much but this whole series. But this one features a nonbinary protagonist and I love it so much. It’s such a change from other historical romances and it’s perfect. They are fun, entertaining reads that are not only diverse but still have the classic historical romacne feel. 

A Lady Never Tells (Women of Daring #1) by Lynn Winchester: I wasn’t expecting to like this one as much as I did. But I loved the female lead. So much. Plus the plot is sticking and so much fun. I love that it’s different and adventurous. It makes for an interesting read. I can’t wait to read more books in this series. 

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas: If I could put all of Lisa Kleypas books in this list I would. But I’m sticking with 1 book per series. And this has to be my favourite in this series. I love all the book but this one has a special place in my heart. I love the romance in this one by far. It’s just fantastic. 

Appetites & Vices (The Truitts #1) by Felicia Grossman: I enjoyed reading this one. I liked that it wasn’t set in the UK – which I had been used to by then. I loved that it looked at a different religion. It’s just an interesting read and I want more people to read Felicia Grossman. 

Wicked and the Wallflower (The Bareknuckle Bastards #1) by Sarah MacLean: If you haven’t picked this book up yet – please do. It’s fantastic. It has a fantastic romance, a plot that you don’t want to stop reading. And fantastic characters. I loved the mystery elements of this one a lot and I can’t wait to read the rest. 

Love in the Afternoon (The Hathaways #5) by Lisa Kleypas: This by far has to be my favourite from the series. I’ve said it before but I adore Beatrix and I can’t talk enough about her. I love that she is different and is who she is. It just makes for such a fun, entertaining read. 

Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore: I need more people to read this one. It’s seriously fantastic. It is a fabulous debut novel and I can’t wait to read the second book. I love the time that it explores – which I hadn’t read anything from. 

Who Wants to Marry a Duke (Duke Dynasty #3) by Sabrina Jeffries: I hadn’t read a Sabrina Jeffries book before I picked one up a couple of months ago and now I’m in love. This one was such a wonderful reading experience and has everything that I look for in a historical romance. I adored Thorn and Oliva as both protagonists and lovers. 

Cold-Hearted Rake (The Ravenels #1) by Lisa Kleypas: This is the last of the Lisa Kleypas series I’ve read and I love it as much as the others. The first book in this series though stands out to me. The romance to hate to love, forbidden and everything else. It’s just fantastic. 

Rebel (Women Who Dare #1) by Beverly Jenkins: I can’t believe that I hadn’t picked a Beverly Jenkins book up until a couple of months ago, because they are fantastic. This is my favourite of the ones that I have read so much because the romance is so good. I just can’t. They are one of my favourite couples. I love that it’s set in a different time than other historical romances and it’s hella diverse – which I adore. 

I’m sure as I read more and more historical romances this list will grow and change. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? What are some of your favourite historical romances? Let’s Chat!  

Romance Recs: Favourite College Romances

Romance Recs: Favourite College Romances

Jul 18, 2020

It’s for a new romance recommendations post! I love doing these posts so much. And today is one of my favourite sub-genres. I love reading college romances. I find them so much fun to read and they are seriously addicting. There was a time when it was mostly what I read. So today I’m sharing some of my favourites. 

I tried to share books that I haven’t spoken about before in this series, but there will be a few crossovers as I couldn’t help but add them to this list. Please do check out the other recommendation posts in this series for more of my favourite romances. Let’s get into it like always these are in no order. 

The Deal (Off-Campus #1) by Elle Kennedy: I couldn’t do this post and not include Elle Kennedy’s Off-Campus series – that just isn’t right. I first read this series back in 2016 and fell in love with everything about it. It’s such a fun series and if you are looking for some college romances then this is it. 

Getting Lucky Number Seven (Taking Shots #1) by Cindi Madsen: This was one of the first college romances I read, and I had so much fun reading it. I love the different characters, the different stories and how each character is trying to figure out their lives. 

The Year We Fell Down (The Ivy Years #1) by Sarina Bowen: Again I couldn’t do this post without including Sarina Bowen, and this has to be one of my favourite college romances series. I love so many books from this series that I really couldn’t pick a favourite, but The Year We Fell Down is very close to winning for me. 

Bringing Down the Duke (A League of Extraordinary Women #1) by Evie Dunmore: I didn’t even think about this one until I was going through all my read books. But it’s perfect. I loved Bringing Down the Duke so much. It’s fun, entering and different from other colleges/university romances and that is what makes it stand out. 

Full Measures (Flight & Glory #1) by Rebecca Yarros: This technically doesn’t happen fully just in college but flight school as well. But I had to include it. Because this is one of my favourite romance series of all times. It makes me cry and laugh and everything in between. 

Undeclared (Woodlands, #1) by Jen Frederick: This is such a fun series and it’s one that I could go back and re-read a few times. It’s exactly what you want from a college romance. 
 
Wilder (The Renegades #1) by Rebecca Yarros: This series is college at sea, so why wouldn’t I add this to my list. I love how different it is from all the other college romances I’ve read. But also has the same tropes, even when they are on the water. This is such a fun series. 
 
And that is it for this post! Have you read any of these? What did you think? What are some college romance series that you gave read and loved? Let’s Chat!

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
