It happened one summer is my Roman Empire and the first romance book I gave 5 stars to. It introduced me to the romance community and I couldn’t be more grateful! Better than the movies is wonderful as well! I agree that this year romance books haven’t been hitting the same. The only 5 stars I have had have been “Life’s too short” by Abby Jimenez, “Better than the movies” and “the do-over” by Lynn painter, and hopefully the ARC I’m currently reading: “snowed in” by Catherine Walsh (super well written and realistic, and I’m really invested in the romance)

I love the author P. D'angelico! I feel like she is kind of underrated, but she is my go to author when I need some rom com. The books in her main series (Wrecking ball, Sledgehammer and Bulldozer) are so good! And Babymaker and Carried Away are my comfort reads 😍

I loved It Happened One Summer when I first read it! I highly highly recommend Meghan Quinn! I truly think you will love the Cane brothers series. Also, I was once told “don’t find your honey where you make your money” so I can’t get into workplace romance books 🤣😭

I LOVED "Better Than The Movies"! It was so freaking cute 🥰 I hope the sequel is good when it comes out next year. You should read Lynn Painter's other books. "Mr. Wrong Number" was so funny 🤣 and "The Do-Over" is really cute. One of my all time favorite rom coms is "Thank You for Listening". That book always makes me smile. Also, your two books were adorable as well 💕😊. They both gave me all the feels!

Yep, I totally agree with "your rant"! Where are the great rom coms that give us all the feels?! Ali Hazelwood, Lynn Painter (and Christina Lauren sometimes) are the queens though.That being said, have you tried Katherine Center last books? The bodyguard and Hello stranger were fun! Not perfect but entertaining. She's really growing on me!

@@nikkisbooknook definitely, give them a chance! I just thought about another romance that I loved so much that I highly recommend you try first 😬 : The co-op by Tarah Dewitt. The FMC might be a tad annoying but the book is really good! I like Tarah Dewitt's writing. She reminds me a lot of Emily Henry 😘
