Top Ten Tuesday

Romance Books to Read If You Love YA Romances

Romance Books to Read If You Love YA Romances

Nov 16, 2021

 

This week I’m sharing the romance books to read if you love reading young adult romances. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

The theme for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is; Books to Read If You Love/Loved X. So today I thought I would share some of my favourite romances to read if you love reading YA romances. I found one of the hardest things for me when I started reading romances was bridging that gap.

Going right from YA to romances is not for everyone. Sometimes it can come as a shock to readers when they are thrown into very spicy romances books after only every reading young adult. And what better way to share my love for both genres than sharing the romances books I recommend for those starting to read romances after reading YA books. 

Anyway, let’s get into this weeks list. As always these are in no order. There is a mix of new adult romances, as well as a mix of all types of genres in romances. So let’s go. 

The Enemy Trap by Maren Moore | The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas | Rejected  (Shadow Beast Shifters #1) by Jaymin Eve | Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road #1) by Katie McGarry. 

Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers #1) by Lisa Kleypas | Only When It’s Us (Bergman Brothers #1) by Chloe Liese | The Year We Fell Down (The Ivy Years #1) by Sarina Bowen | Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston.

The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke #1) by Tessa Dare | The Kingmaker (All the King’s Men #1) by Kennedy Ryan.

And there we go. Those are the romances books that I think y0u should pick up if you like reading young adult romances. Have you read any of these? Are you planning on reading these? What would you suggest? Let’s have a chat! 

Favourite Quotes From Characters

Favourite Quotes From Characters

Nov 9, 2021

This week I’m sharing the quotes that I love from characters. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

This was a really fun post to do. It got me really thinking, I had to try and remember some of those quotes that just hit me hard and fast. There are a mix of different books and genre’s here and I really love that. I tried to also pick quotes from some of my favourite books. Let’s get right into this. Like always these are in no order. 

“Because despite how much he’d hurt me, despite his betrayal and everything it had caused, I still fucking loved him with my whole sullied soul.”

– Hades, Timber by Tate James 

“I’ll give you the world,” he said against my mouth. “The moon. The fucking stars. Anything you ask, it’s yours. I’m yours.”

– Aaron, The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas 

“And then suddenly he was there, charging down the hallway like death in a cowboy duster.”

– Rose, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead 

“I like how you smile and how you laugh. I like how you love and defend your family and I like how you’re trying to love mine I love how you trust. But mostly, Emily, I like how I feel when I’m around you.”

– Oz, Nowhere but Here by Katie McGarry  

“Love can’t cure a mental illness. There are lots of ways to help him, you can just be there. To listen. To talk To cheer him up if he’s having a bad day. And on the bad days, you can ask what to could do to make things easier. Stand by his side, even when things are hard. But also knowing that sometimes people need more support than just one person can give. That’s love darling.” 

– Sarah Nelson (Nick’s mum), Heartstopper Vol 4 by Alice Oseman 

“I wish I’d been born in another time, another place. Then maybe I could’ve escaped fate… maybe I could’ve been your darling.”

– Sascha Duncan, Slave to Sensation (Psy-Changeling #1) by Nalini Singh

I’d never known what it was to be held before that. Never knew what it was to have someone hold you so tenderly that you feared you might just collapse into fragments of who you once were without their touch.

– Queen Audra, A King so Cold (Royals #1) by Ella Fields

“You’re a King who makes her want to be his rough-and-tumble Queen.”

– Cressida, Lessons in Corruption (The Fallen Men #1) by Giana Darling

“I only know that learning to believe in the power of my own words has been the most freeing experience of my life. It has brought me the most light. And isn’t that what a poem is? A lantern glowing in the dark.”

– Xiomara Batista, The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo

“You’re too precious to put into words. I think … it’s like one of Theodore’s buttons. If you asked him why he cared about them so, he would tell you it’s because they exist at all.”

– Arthur Parnassus, The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune

Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Vict Yeah, this is what I wanted. I really enjoyed Victoria Wilder’s Bourbon Boys series, and as soon as I heard she was writing a new series, around whiskey and women. Well, hell year. It took me a little bit to get into the book, but after a few chapters, I was hooked. 

Wyn is hiding, hiding from everyone, even when she is there. She is hiding behind so much, and damn, I don’t blame her. We don’t know everything from the start, but we start piecing things together, and my heart broke. And I was terrified for her. But she is a Crowne woman, and that means something. 

We’ve met Julian before, and while he intrigued me before, I am invested now. He is charming, secretive in the best way and will do anything at this point for Wyn. But he is also lost, and somehow he finds his way to Rumour and back into Wyn’s life. 

The romance is hot and steamy and everything that you want. The tension and chemistry in this one is high. Neither Wyn nor Julian wants to really give in or give up on one another, but a lot is standing in their way, honestly, mainly themselves. I just sat there giggling half the time because they are swoon-worthy. 

I would say this is the darkest Victoria Wilder book I’ve read, so double-check those trigger warnings before jumping in because there is a lot that happens. And I don’t think it’s going to die down any time soon because these Crowne women are badass, and I know things are only just getting started. 

Overall, Rumors & Whiskey is hot and sexual. The tension is dripping off the page, and then you are thrown into the terror and horrors of Rumour. You don’t know what is going to happen next, you don’t know who to trust, and there are so many more secrets that have yet to be revealed. I know I am ready for more. Are you?

Thank you to @atriabooksaus for an earc of Rumors & Whiskey 🥃. I’m in love.

March was a better reading month than February for March was a better reading month than February for me, and while I’m still stuck in my heated rivalry fanfiction era I managed to scrap out of it a little this month. 

I reread four books from the sweet omegaverse series and honestly had the best time. I also read two of my most anticipated reads of the year and had a blast. Sadly I did also have my first dnf of the year.

What did you read this March? Any standouts? What are you looking forward to reading in April? Let’s chat!
