Top 10 | Romance Books On My TBR 🌼

🌼 Hi, guys! I hope you’re having a beautiful day, full of good readings & Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️ (I want to clarify that for me Valentine’s Day isn’t just a day for couples, but to love and appreciate our loved ones and those who are always for us and also and above all, love ourselves! Let’s celebrate that first 👏🏻) I thought it would be fun to talk about something that has to do with romance on this day dedicated to love and since I’m not the biggest consumer of romance books, I thought that the best idea would be to share with you my top 10 romance books that are in my TBR right now, ass I mentioned, books focused 100% on romance aren’t usually my thing, so that’s why I haven’t read many to make a recommendation post, but I do have a good stack under my radar, which I feel very interested in and I have them in my TBR for when I feel like reading something romantic and adorable, that touches my little heart. 😊
I hope that with this post you can find books that you find interesting and I would also like to chat a little with you about your favorite romance books to recommend me and thus expand my horizons a little more with this genre. 🙏🏻
I’m a little inspired by the fact that I’m reading Red White & Royal Blue right now, I’ll probably have finished it when you see this, but I’m basically enjoying it and now I understand why everyone loves this book so much! 😍
I hope you enjoy this top 10, that it’s something entertaining for you and of course, I hope you can find books to add to your endless TBR … LOVE YOUUU & let’s start! 🥰
PS: the books aren’t sorted in a specific way, these are only the 10 most interesting for me that are in my TBR. 🌼

Life is a mixed bag for Piper Calloway.

On the one hand, she’s a twenty-nine-year-old VP at her dad’s multibillion-dollar real estate development firm, and living the high single life with her two best friends in a swanky downtown penthouse. On the other hand, she’s considered a pair of sexy legs in a male-dominated world and constantly has to prove her worth. Plus, she’s stuck seeing her narcissistic ex-fiancé—a fellow VP—on the other side of her glass office wall every day.

Things get exponentially more complicated for Piper when she runs into Kyle Miller—the handsome new security guard at Calloway Group Industries, and coincidentally the first love of her life.

The guy she hasn’t seen or heard from since they were summer camp counsellors together. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks. The guy who apparently doesn’t even remember her name.

Piper may be a high-powered businesswoman now, but she soon realizes that her schoolgirl crush is not only alive but stronger than ever, and crippling her concentration. What’s more, despite Kyle’s distant attitude, she’s convinced their reunion isn’t at all coincidental, and that his feelings for her still run deep. And she’s determined to make him admit to them, no matter the consequences.

Sophie wants one thing for Christmas-a little freedom from her overprotective parents. So when they decide to spend Christmas in South Louisiana with her very pregnant older sister, Sophie is looking forward to some much needed private (read: make-out) time with her long-term boyfriend, Griffin. Except it turns out that Griffin wants a little freedom from their relationship. Cue devastation.

Heartbroken, Sophie flees to her grandparents’ house, where the rest of her boisterous extended family is gathered for the holiday. That’s when her nonna devises a (not so) brilliant plan: Over the next ten days, Sophie will be set up on ten different blind dates by different family members. Like her sweet cousin Sara, who sets her up with a hot guy at an exclusive underground party. Or her crazy aunt Patrice, who signs Sophie up for a lead role in a living nativity. With a boy who barely reaches her shoulder. And a screaming baby.

When Griffin turns up unexpectedly and begs for a second chance, Sophie feels more confused than ever. Because maybe, just maybe, she’s started to have feelings for someone else . . . Someone who is definitely not available.

This is going to be the worst Christmas break ever… or is it?
