the best romance books *no spice*

[@jamiyathewriter]

I’m grateful for the recs without spice. It feels like that’s all anyone ever writes nowadays 😭 this was refreshing!!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

thank you!! & i totally agree. sometimes i enjoy spice, but it seems like so many authors add it in as a replacement for the dialogue you usually get when characters fall in love which is the worst!

[@lilliewyant4086]

I really appreciate you sharing romance books with no spice. I am excited to read them.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

hope you love them all!!

[@misstaytt]

Oooo I love a good slow burn with a built up love confession!!!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

omggg yesss a good slow burn gets me every single time

[@jovifaith1509]

Thank you! I’m just starting the video, but I love reading and I hate spice. And, yet, it’s in SO many! So thank you so much!!! I would also love fantasy recs with no spice. Especially for Christmas coming up! So if you have any of those, that’d be awesome! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

You’re so welcome!! The Holiday Switch by Tif Marcelo is a great holiday book without spice!!

[@jovifaith1509]

@@ShawnaciSchroeder Thank you!

[@JesusLightsYourPath]

I hate spice as well

[@Mookayla._]

Thank you thank you thank you. I’ve been trying to find no spice reads!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

you're so welcome!!

[@lindasreadingcorner3962]

I really want recs for books taking place in the library or a bookstore

[@lifeandtabroad]

Me too.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

this is such a good idea!! just shared a video with bookish recs with similar books like this so hopefully you find some books that you love!

[@PrincessDiamondCut]

I love no spice books. Thanks for sharing.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

[@empowerbybree]

Shawnaci, thanks for another great rec video! I think Rhythm & Muse gives several Disney movie vibes but definitely the main ones I thought of were Let It Shine and Radio Rebel lol

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

omg yesss let it shine is so spot on!

[@misstaytt]

Thank u!! I like listening to audiobooks so no spice is a must for those!!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

omg yes! spice in audiobooks literally makes me cringe and i can't even pinpoint why haha

[@tarahgarber1755]

I just found your channel and I just love your energy just so happy and enjoyable to watch

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

yay yay yay!! so glad you're here!

[@Jemimahkwagala]

Could you please do a black edition of no spice😅 I just found out there are nice black romance books but its hard to tell if it is spice or not so can you please do a no spice black edition😊😊

[@kathleenmulvihill7801]

Thank you so much for this!! I love small town romances and also grumpy sunshine stories…can you do a video on them? Or have you done one already?

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Love this idea!!

[@Deosha2002]

Rhythm and muse reminds me of Let it Shine, the Disney movie with Tyler James Williams and Coco Jones.

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Omg it really does!

[@denisecrowell5702]

Thank you for this! I did love "With the Fire on High". Will look into these other books!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

the writing is so poetic and beautiful!!

[@JesusLightsYourPath]

Wish no spice books were more common

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I adore your hair and your style (: you are such a stunning person (;

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

thank you thank you!

[@lisamays5282]

I loved this video! Please try to recommend books with a small town trope! Those are my fav!

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

omg yesss!! the small town trope is one of my favorites for autumn!

[@Camille-td8xr]

If you like closed-door dark romance, you should try Whispers of Fire by Cassie Kellergan, it's about a biker falling for a mute girl and the swoon is swoooooning

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

Thanks for recommending!

[@earth2kvy]

Needed this!!! Thank you

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

[@dianaisme]

I love this video idea! Also I really want more cultural diverse fiction reads. Also LGBT+ fiction reads. I just don't know if that makes any sense. Also I literally got done watching Ashlynn Calee's video and jumped straight into yours 🤣💗

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

thanks for sharing this!!

[@dianaisme]

@@ShawnaciSchroeder I just read This Time It's Real by Ann Liang and it's set in Beijing and it was very interesting to get little glimses of what life in Beijing is like. I don't explain it well.

[@HouseOfGoddess]

Books set in the countryside or on an island? :)

[@Brbdreaming_asmr]

Exactly the recs I need! 😌☕️

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

I love you and I love these videos but my bank balance and book shelf are struggling 😂

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

[@tsg336]

I mainly want a great story, I’m cool with no spice, some spice and a lot of spice 😊👍🏽

[@ShawnaciSchroeder]

[@arlenaellis1149]
