STEAMY ROMANTIC READS RECOMMENDATIONS

[@tashapolis]

SO MANY RECOMMENDATIONS! I'M SO EXCITED TO READ MY WAY THROUGH ALL THESE FABOULD SOUNDING BOOKS! Keep em coming! Also, that is me singing in the intro for those asking.

[@venycz]

Hey, Natasha! You should try Love Like the Movies by Victoria Van Tiem. It reminded me Sophie Kinsella's book so much and I love her books. :) Also you look really lovely in this video ♥

[@josephhill2672]

Where was ugly love?

[@josephhill2672]

Wait I just finished the vid

[@kellyffiestas]

Hey Natasha! Thanks for the recommendations! I would recomment The Black Daggee Brotherhood by J. R. Ward. Very steamy supernatural romance. I think there are 14 books now. The first is Dark Lover. Let me know what you think. 😉

[@KHicks697]

Hi Natasha, you should check out Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series if you haven't already. I laugh out loud every time I read those books. It's action, comedy, romance, and etc. It's everything. :-)

[@stephpiano2908]

Can we just give Natasha a round of applause for the speech about how some relationships in these books are problematic and not desirable in real life PREACH IT SISTER

[@naomivanegeraat654]

Steph Piano your. Profile. Picture. YES

[@stephpiano2908]

AGREED.

[@car5522]

EXACTLY

[@emmalb7977]

Natasha: "Sexy Twilight Fanfiction." Me:"PleaseNotFiftyShadesPleaseNotFiftyShadesPlease oh please." Natasha: *Moves on to Sophie Kinsella Books* Me: "I believe in you GURL."

[@dinukaranawaka4606]

Many thanks, I've been looking for "best romance fiction novels" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Ronaylor Amorous Astonishing - (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my work buddy got excellent success with it.

[@dinukaranawaka4606]

This was great, I've been looking for "romance story books" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Foonatah Omnipresent Magnification - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my partner got great success with it.

[@LightPureLove]

Rhys is forever my favorite fictional man. No one can compete him. Two years of loving him and I still can't find someone better.

[@emberlafonte73]

Natasha is such a mom friend XD

[@tashapolis]

Ember Lafonte I'm the mom of BookTube. Everyone teases me about it. I guess someone has to keep everyone in check! Lol

[@mckenna4561]

I love Twilight, but there's always a lot of hate and judging whenever I say that. Tears. The movies were meh, but THE BOOKS! Ahh! They're so good.

[@charlotted4642]

Agree so much! Anytime I say that I love Twilight I get weird looks. But I don't care because still love it!

[@StitchInTime]

I love Twilight too and I always will.

[@EllaIngram]

I don't mind Twilight. I don't hate or dislike it exactly, it's just not my favourite book ever :P

[@fateharazak8459]

Imaloudsilence 24601 I love twilight too! 😄

[@sarahlucy593]

Imaloudsilence 24601 the books were so so much better than the movies

[@Bookables]

Thanks for the shoutout girl!! ❤❤❤. Also love me a steamy book! THE HATING GAME... YES!!! SO FREAKING GOOD!!! I need to read all the other ones you mentioned!! Perhaps we should do a buddy read soon chick lit steamy styles!!

[@tashapolis]

YESSS!!! Ooo!! Which one should we read??

[@zainabfaessal937]

Bookables I'm rereading The Hating Game right now, its so good!'

[@emilychau4006]

Natasha! I highly recommend The Off Campus series by Elle Kennedy. It involves hot Hockey boys in a college setting. ❤

[@tashapolis]

Oooo, sounds good!

[@Cathrin1801]

I second this. Elle Kennedy's books are great! I also like her collabs with Sarina Bowen.

[@erikagallant7927]

OMG YES!!! The whole series is fantastic!

[@miri019]

I second the off campus series ..sooo good 😍 oh by the way I believe elle kennedy i one of the co authors of the paper princess series

[@AtomicPeach]

I started reading that series because of this comment and I love it thank you!

[@Danielkallus]

Just read Anna and the French Kiss and now I want all of the romantic books.

[@nadia1292]

Dan K. Omggg same I just finished the series and I only want to read romantic contemporary books What is it with this books😂

[@MsVampirate18]

WALLBANGER IS INCREDIBLE!! THE WHOLE SERIES IS AMAZING. Alice Clayton has become one of my favorite authors. Her new Hudsen valley series is a must read.

[@KeishaRamadhanesta]

If you're into love&hate relationships, I suggest you read Storm and Silence series by Rob Thier. It is available on Wattpad if you want a free read, but it has been published as well. It's a historical fiction novel sets in England Victorian era. It's amazing I swear, I can't help loving the characters. It's funny and fun, and makes me giddy all around! There are two books in the series so far, and the first book Storm and Silence was nominated for Best Romance on Goodreads in 2016! I HIGHLY recommend it :) :)

[@Sophie-if2ij]

Keisha Riswanto Storm and Silence is actually my favourite series ever. I have read the books over and over and I am still not tired of them! The fact there’s like 6/7 books out makes it even better! The relationship between the two is amazing and Thier has written the characters so well

[@approvedcriminal1324]

Yeeeeeeees

[@user-bv7pr9cf9p]

Yessss

[@emilykate0835]

[@elisegraham8945]

Emily Ostmeyer relatable

[@rachelhesketh94]

Same!! XD

[@erinmariecece]

I think I reread the steamy scenes in ACOMAF at least once a week . . . . guilty pleasure for sure.

[@laurahershelf1102]

Girl you have to keep reading the Outlander series!! I feel like their relationship just gets better and better with age! It's just beautiful how it develops & Voyager & Drums of Autumn are my absolute favorites in the series! Also Brianna & Roger are just the best!

[@ahobbit111]

You should do a makeup tutorial on your Valentines Day look, it is so pretty!

[@TorusMorganite]

Please, please, PLEASE read the *Captive Prince Trilogy* by C.S. Pacat, like seriously! You simply must. It is a queer romance, with a slow build and not just love/hate, but it is enemies to lovers story. It is one of the best books series I have ever read. Just Amazon them, you will not regret it, I *pinky swear!* And if you want something a little fluffier, but also a slow burn I recommend *The Soldier's Scoundrel* by Cat Sebastian. Oh oh oh & *The Song of Achilles* by Madeleine Miller is a necessary read - J.K. Rowling even blurbed the cover, thats how amazing this book is! Want something crazy, with a bastard as the protag? As *Meat Loves Salt* is the book for you. It gets dark, but is def unhealthy, but it SOOOO addictive. Happy reading! I need to check out Colleen Hoover asap, I keep hearing about her books, so I think its about time I give her a go 😊😍.

[@tashapolis]

Arden Blue Yes! Piera Forde talks about them all the time. I've been so intrigued!

[@Elliterally]

a kingdom, or this?

[@lanac2678]

Ellie OMG MY HEART

[@christinebihasa6863]

Babe i just got song of achilles pumped af gonna try your other recs too ❤️So happy i clicked on this vid and scrolled down the comments section

[@christinebihasa6863]

im on chapter twelve and i already cried because i fell in love with both of them and already feel like they are my children (yes i am that kind of reader) just imagine me after the end of this book and i already have an idea of how its gonna be (fcking TROY with brad fcking pitt was one of my fave movies btw)

[@BeatriceMPinayBookaholic]

I recommend On Dublin Street by Samantha Young, Bad Romeo by Leisa Rayven, Mr. President by Katy Evans and The Law of Moses by Amy Harmon :)

[@sarahlucy593]

Beatrice M loving all of the recommendations in the comment section

[@danidoesbooks5080]

Oh my gosh Natasha, you're voice is so perfect! I don't even read romance all that much, but I came here anyways just to see you.

[@danidoesbooks5080]

And also your hair is beautiful!

[@tashapolis]

Dani Does Books Aww thank you!!

[@danidoesbooks5080]

No problem! And this also made my day!

[@leahmurphy7678]

Omg yes Natasha , I didn't know I needed this video until now! I love when the two main characters hate each other too! Love ya xx

[@kyx93]

After Twilight I discovered the Black Dagger Brotherhood series by J.R.Ward! Never heard of it? IT'S GREAT. Vampires and lots of sexy times and a all new society of creatures. I read about 12 books of that series! Seriously raccomended!

[@steffykiwi]

claireb black dagger are 😍😍😍

[@tashapolis]

claireb I've been wanting to try those out!! The series is so long!

[@kyx93]

Tashapolis You could just check out the first one and see if you like it, and then continue the saga. Each vampire has is own book and love story. There are some veeery romantic, others more violent, others with more drama or sexy. In the end they are actually good alone even by themselves.

[@botzbookbuzz2413]

I love the Black Dagger Brotherhood!!! Will be reading another one soon. I highly recommend for some steamy content 😍 have probably read 5ish of them 😀

[@botzbookbuzz2413]

claireb love ❤️ this series!!

[@ladyshkspre]

Hey Natasha, here are my steamy romantic read recommendations (and I MEAN STEAMY): Last Girl by K.S. Thomas. A great read if you like "I'm in love/hate with my brother's best friend" type stories like I do. Be warned, this one will make you cry. Torn by Carian Cole. One of my favorite tropes: May/December romance between a girl and her father's BFF. WOWZA! Read this one last year. Twice. Between Here and the Horizon by Callie Hart. This was a bit different for this author who normally does MC (Motorcycle Club) romances but it was the first time I'd ever read her. Girl goes to mysterious island to take care of a widower's young children...but there's an interesting twist. I'll say no more lest I spoil it. Anything but Minor by Kate Stewart. Take One Nerdy girl and One Hunky baseball-playing Jock. Mix with undeniable chemistry and hilarious antics. A winning combination. And my final recommendation (for now at least) Disarm by June Gray. A military romance and another "I'm in love with my brother's friend" but soooo good. It is a bit lengthy because it was originally published as a serial but it is so worth your time. I hope you'll try a few or all of them and enjoy!

[@coldsummer1062]

Read “The Hating Game” after watching this video and loved the book💞 thanks for your advice!

[@sarawithn0h]

YES GIRL! I remember reading all those Twilight fanfictions back in the day. So happy to see those authors become successful.

[@tasiashadow]

I recommend you catch up on Throne of Glass and Outlander!!!! 😉 Outlander gets so good - you gotta keep going. And Dorion in ToG ❤️

[@astridfrost6878]

Tasia I second this. Outlander just keeps getting better. Its a rollercoaster ride. MY fav books of all time.

[@louisa1878]

Emancipation proclamation was my jam! I loved it so much, I've been looking for Sempre everywhere!

[@louisa1878]

Raven Booknerd Dean argggggg! Thankyou! 🙌

[@louisa1878]

Raven Booknerd Dean that's awesome! I'm so jealous! I don't think I'll ever get to meet her considering I live in AUS, but ill definitely support her work. :)

[@bidisha_roy]

of course ACOMAF is first on this list.... (hehehe)

[@nightcourt2839]

Omg thanks so much for making this! A lot of youtubers exclude these kinds books coz it's kinda a guilty pleasure to admit you love these kinda books and I usually rely on goodreads 😩

[@catyxitah]

I would recommend the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy but a lot of people already did it so you can see how amazing it is. But anything by Elle Kennedy or even Sarina Bowen is amazing. You should try the series they co-wrote together because both Him and WAGs are amazing series. You could also try the Stroked series by Meghan Quinn and Undecided by Julianna Keyes.

[@ellicialane]

I'm so glad i came across your page!!!! It feels like i've found my book twin and i want to hold on forever. Can't wait to continue exploring your world and find out what other things we have in common.

[@jennifermcilwrath]

We're so on the same wavelength about these kind of books! Thanks for the recommends Natasha!

[@erikasoveranes8492]

It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover is my favorite!! ❤️❤️❤️ definitely recommend!

[@ashtonreagan4]

PAPER PRINCESS IS SOOOO GOOD! Would never have known about it with out you!

[@meganduff5318]

Your list is full of my favorites! You MUST read Penny Reid (The Winston Brothers series in particular), Krista & Becca Ritchie (start with Addicted to You), Laura Florand, Mariana Zapata (Wall of Winnipeg is my FAVORITE) and Courtney Milan. Every single one of their books is a 5 star book in my opinion. High quality writing, great characters, diversity and unique plots

[@Cathrin1801]

Penny Reid and Courtney Milan are so great! I love Courtney's new series with the biracial couple and the male main character's father also seems so interesting.

[@skylinejumping8711]

I am in love with the rosemary beach series and the sea breeze series

[@Hey_ItsMeganC]

November 9 is my favorite Hoover book

[@enjayadecer3662]

Maybe someday is really great.

[@jacquelinegarcia5803]

You have NO idea how happy I am to hear that Emancipation Proclamation was turned into a book series! I've been looking for the fanfiction for YEARS ever since it disappeared!

[@casss2313]

I just finished the Black Dagger Brotherhood series so I'm here looking for suggestions, so thank you! Also your face is just wonderful!

[@Heeeeven]

Ah, this was great!! I love Wallbanger and I had no idea it was a fanfic! Super fun, and Love you lots Natasha!

[@silviace17]

The best NA/romance books I've read: Off Campus series, How to Date a Douchebag duology, Dirty Deeds duology, Checkmate series, Marked Men series, Until series, anything by Jenny Colgan because you love Sophie Kinsella, Penelope Douglas for darker angst or Tessa Dare and Lisa Kleypas if you want regency novelas, Caroline and West duology, Bad Habits trilogy, Broken Love series, Game On trilogy, Wild Seasons series, Rusk University trilogy, 2B trilogy, Stage Dive series, Sea Breeze series, Bad Romeo, Searching For series. Damn that's a long list lol sorry. But these are all amazing!

[@sabinatillman9739]

Silvia Carvajal I read How to date a douchebag! I liked it.

[@silviace17]

It's pretty hilarious isn't it? I'm a sucker for college romances and this one and the Off Campus series are great

[@kristinfarrellhodge138]

So glad you loved the Hating Game! By far my fave read of 2016!

[@srirachasince9392]

She's so adorable OMG

[@beautyliterate]

YAY!! The Wall of Winnipeg and Me, hope you're enjoying it

[@addangel]

I'm about to finish the Outlander audiobook, which I picked up because you kept talking about how much you loved it. 😀 It was pretty amazing, especially hearing it with the accent. I love that it's not cheesy at all, and it has an amazingly strong and witty heroine. I need to get on to the TV show! I'm SO overwhelmed with (and excited about) all the recommendations from both the video and the comments. GOTTA READ THEM ALL! 😄 Oh and btw, your voice 😍

[@EverythingOnIce22]

I love the Marriage Bargain series!! One of the few bodice ripper books I can actually handle.

[@evelynromero2965]

Totally new to BookTube and as an avid romance reader, I love this video. You give great options for people to start reading romance! So glad I stumbled upon your page.❤

[@jujubee2]

Emma chases legal briefs series is really good too. I'm obsessed with her I've read all of her books

[@FBLeach-lx9sr]

Thanks for sharing. I've read quite a few (but not all) of this list. I also adore hate to love relationships and marriage not convenience.

[@jackielopez9739]

THE HATING GAME IS MY FAVORITE! I have read it twice and I just love it!!

[@kkerrigan15]

You have to read Confess by Colleen Hoover! It is so good and you will love it! This is my favorite by Colleen Hoover.

[@MacMayhem100]

I loved the 4th outlander book!!!!!!!!! It was way better than dragonfly in Amber and voyager!!!! READ IT!!!!

[@TheStupidLamb17]

I'm so glad I saw this video!! I've been in a bit of a book slump and have been dying to find new reads and these are my type of books!! Definitely giving these a read!! 💖💖💖

[@flora22511]

Ahh I loved Emancipation Proclamation!! One of my all time favorite fanfictions!

[@kagome1577]

OMG I ALMOST CRYED WHEN YOU SHOWED SEMPRE I LOVED IT SO MUCH I STILL READ IT ALL THE TIME

[@misty_michelle3034]

The first few chapters of Fifty Shades of Grey were boring to me as well but it picks up. I have re read those books going on my fifth time now.

[@lauralaura4345]

Misty Swafford that was the books that got me into reading! i wanna re read it and revew it to see how my opinions on it may have changed

[@marilibas21]

OMG! I just realized that I've read almost every book in this video! We have the same taste in books! You should totally read The Off Campus Series, and Penelope Douglas Series... OMG! I've so many books to recommend!

[@trinniee8203]

*Don't go looking for these types of relationships, okay!?* me: darn all my dreams of having a bad boy softie are ruined

[@beautyandthebooks._]

You NEED to read the book Highland Warrior! Especially if you love historical Scotland romance. It’s sooo good. Must read. MUST!

[@latinafortruth430]

Thank you for recommending the Hating Game!! I absolutely adored it! It was so fun, well written, nothing stupid or unbelievable in it and not so dramatic! Agh!! I would so read again!

[@melissamanrique7702]

You should totally read Beautiful Disaster💕 I think that you would loveeee it

[@sarahh7466]

You'd probably enjoy the Thoughtless series by S.C. Stephens. It's totally addicting because it's so angsty and the lead male is just so great.

[@letsgetreckless]

THIS WAS SUCH A GREAT VIDEO. I love all these types of books and can't wait to read some of them!

[@cristinasjourney]

I would recommend the Malory series by Johanna Lindsey. Pirates and Romance, love them! My favorite is Gentle Rogue. If you just want to read one of them, Gentle Rogue is the best in my opinion. And you would understand everything without reading the previous books. Also you should read The Proposition, SO GOOD! It's about a woman that wants to have a child and her sort of boss offers to be the father if they do it the "natural" way. It's funny, steamy and cute! Oh, oh and read Big Rock by Lauren Blakely . It's sooo cute and funny. And the best part is that it's form the guy's POV. Just read the blurb, it will sell itself :)

[@cristinasjourney]

by the way, big rock is about someone having to get married to someone else, or kind of because it's all fake (and that's not a spoiler is the premise of the book ) :).

[@purpleanna7]

loved the warning you gave for the paper princess series :P

[@mickbeth2011]

I LOVE the Wait For You series by J. Lynn!

[@SamiWhami08]

Abbi Glines is one of my favorite authors. I have read almost all her books now and love them.

[@oldforestsystem]

Natasha is so pretty?! like GURL your makeup is SO GREAT. im pale with green eyes and black hair too but i still wish i could look like Natasha.

[@ashn1245]

I love this so much, its the stuff everyone reads but doesn't want to talk about.

[@Stefana-U]

If you want an easy fun read with rockstars and steamy romance I recommend the Stage Dive series by Kylie Scott. This series is so addictive

[@MsBored999]

Kawaii Potato this series is my absolute addiction! I have to read at least one of them a month.

[@Stefana-U]

I only reread the second book, because it's my favorite one in the series, but I love the other books too

[@danielsbooks4093]

you definitely need to pick up the rest of the outlander books because I'm on drums of autumn and it's awsome

[@tashapolis]

daniel meaux They hurt me so much! But I will try!

[@danielsbooks4093]

O well they get super better we even get chapters from bree

[@viennabooks741]

Have you done the make up book tag? If you haven't can you please PLEASE do one on this look? I can never do a winged liner like that and I'd really like to learn and you look soooo stunning here, PLEASE teach us!

[@viennabooks741]

Also now that I finished the video: thank you for making such an effort, there are sooo many books in here that I have never heard of and the video seems like its been a lot of work, the editing was also amazing! Going to pick up paper princess now, you've convinced me ;) Right now I'm listening to the Shopaholic books and the narrator does a fantastic job!

[@lotusbabie]

WHO AGREES THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE LGBTQ+ STORIES OUT THERE!!!!!!!! 🙌🏼

[@bethnextdoor101]

YOU NEED TO READ: it ends with us - Colleen Hoover ‼️‼️‼️

[@kimphobic]

Gurl your makeup! You looking flawless

[@TheBookLife]

I started watching this and when Darkfever came up I was like HELL YEAH. The ending of Faefever was a little too far, but I did like the way it was handled in the later books, rather than it being glossed over. I loved Dreamfever and Shadowfever so much. Have added a few of these to my wishlist :D

[@avenueis1377]

that intro though! tasha is so gorgeous

[@hayleytubrett3749]

The Shatter Me Series NEEDS TO BE ON THIS LIST. Especially the finale book :D

[@fahria100]

OH MY GOD! I've read and loved each and every one of them!! I LIVE for LOVE/HATE romances! You are like my soulBooksister! We have the exact same taste!

[@tommiegarcia7314]

I can't wait to start reading some of these!! BUT on another note, I love how you said "If you plan to read these the night before a big test, don't" because I was thinking about starting to read them and I actually should be studying for a test I have tomorrow lol

[@paolina1802]

I don't know why but I just loved the music you used in this video

[@caitlinhickson1021]

[@sarahlucy593]

You make me wanna read so much more of this genre, love you and your videos

[@krisnicoleb]

ACOMAF is my favorite ♡ you should DEFINITELY check out Samantha Young's On Dublin St series, ooooooooo steamy ♡

[@jacquieornelas4637]

The outro song is to the dance I learned today in my pointe class for recital!

[@StarsAndEmbers]

Before I even clicked on the video, I just knew ACOMAF was gonna be on the list :P

[@Cathrin1801]

*returns to like all the book recs and to add even more books to my TBR list* Thank you!

[@hayleereeves4369]

I highly recommend, the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day. They are absolutely amazing. ❤❤

[@taslimachowdhury7983]

The Hating Game is also one of my favourite books this year! 😊

[@clarecarter9172]

Girl the hate to love storyline is my fav too 😍

[@brontekelleghan6353]

I picked up Paper Princess after you suggested them; THEY ARE SO GOOD

[@graciachacon4755]

Gurrrllll, I just about lost it when I saw that Emancipation Proclamation was a book now! That was hands down one of my favorite fanfics ever! Guess I'll just go get a blanket, get the books and prepare myself for some reading haha

[@lipstickandlibraries]

This is such a lovely video! You definitely took me back to high school when the only all nighters I would pull were reading tvd fanfic. You've read most of the romances I've read but I would rec Julie James books! Also I love the hate-to-love trope but my second fave is probably the secret baby trope lol

[@aoife1849]

YES The Hating Game was sooooooo GOOD!!! And I just binge read the Royals series. So addictive

[@nimsazhbebe5012]

i'm soo happy i found your channel, the hating game is also my fave

[@EmJ.]

I loved "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. You should read it!

[@tashapolis]

That's one of my all time favorites!

[@cjanney3592]

Em J I was going to recommend that one in the comments and then I saw this. Such a great book!

[@moeppps]

You should continue with Outlander!! I just finished Drums of Autumn and I loved it (it dragged a little at first but then it's worth it). I really need to hear your thoughts because no one has read these books and you're the one that got me into them! Please 😭

[@taylorkamps9030]

Have you ever read Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire? It's has a hate-to-love, 'I'm trying my hardest not to care about you' situation happening. It involves ' good girl with a past' Abby, *no spoilers, its in the synopsis* and Travis, the champion of the campus' underground fighting ring. Brought together by friends, they make a bet and its all down hill from there! The second book, Walking Disaster, is actually the same story told from Travis' point of view... Have fun deciding from which P.O.V you'd like to read from first!

[@ilyforeverbieber]

TaylorKamps yesssss beautiful disaster is one of my favorites!! I've read it like 3 or 4 times now

[@caffeinedeprived_gremlin9172]

Read it 10 times, it’s awesome I love

[@CrazyGabb]

Thank you for all these recommendations, just added so many books to my tbr!! ☺💕
