5 Books to Cozy Up With This Valentine's Day

 It's that time of year again, you know, the dreaded time where the stores are full to the brim with roses, chocolates, and last minute shoppers-galore. But whether you're in a relationship or not, we can all agree that it's the season of love. So what better way to celebrate than with a romance book! This Valentine's Day grab a book, find a cozy spot to curl up, and grab a festive snack (chocolate covered strawberries anyone?). As a year round romance reader myself, these are some of my own picks I plan on reading to get into the Valentine's spirit.




Beg, Borrow, Or Steal
The much anticipated final installment in the When in Rome series, following two feuding second-grade teachers, Emily and Jack. To make matters worse, Jack is back in town after calling off his engagement, and now he's going to be not only Emily's co-worker, but also her neighbor. Can you say enemies-to-lovers? When Emily sends her secret book manuscript to her boss, she enlists Jack to help her steal it back before her boss gets wind of her side hustle. In typical Sarah Adams fashion, this book is sure to have a cozy small town feel, as well as humor, all while being a closed door romance. 

Love, Theoretically
While Ali Hazelwood fans everywhere will be jumping to get her newest release Deep End, I personally am still making my way through some of her backlist. This stem romance follows a theoretical physicist, and her academic rival. There also is a fake-dating plot that makes things more complicated for our heroine Elsie, when her side hustle of being a "fake girlfriend" gets discovered by one of her clients older brothers, who just happens to be Jack her rival. This book is guaranteed to give all the romcom vibes, while also bringing a bit of spice.

Hate Mail
This book has been sitting on my kindle for ages, so what better time to read it then now during the season of love. The cover just screams cutesy Valentine's day read. An enemies-to-lovers story following two life long pen pals. Well that is, until 2 years ago when the letters suddenly stopped. But now all that is about to change when Naomi gets a spontaneous letter at her job as a news anchor from Luca. There's one little hitch though, there's no return address. Now Naomi is determined to not let him get the last hateful word. I can already tell this is going to be a funny and cute read.

Dream Girl Drama
Like all the other romance reader girlies out there, I'm a sucker for a Tessa Bailey book. This third installment in her Big Shots series follows Sig and Chloe. While on a trip to visit his estranged father, Sig runs into Chloe, a harpist prodigy who's yearning to gain some independence. Sparks fly, but the pair soon finds out that their parents are engaged, making them future step-siblings. Sig determined to help Chloe gain some independence, steals her away to Boston, where they try forget the feelings they may have started to have for one another, but being high profile individuals, drama is sure to follow. Now if you are new to romance or Tessa Bailey, let me warn you now, these books bring the spice.

First-Time Caller
This newest release from B.K. Borison is inspired by the cult classic Sleepless in Seattle. When a romance hotline host gets a call from a little girl for dating advice for her mom, it goes viral. But the question is, will Lucie (our single mom) find a happily ever after provided by the hotline, or will it be with Aiden Valentine, the host who has fallen out of the hope for love himself. With a last name like Valentine and all the cozy rom com vibes, I can't wait to pick this one up.

Welcome to Good Girls Read Smut!

  ( Image created through AI on Microsoft Bing, all rights of image go to them) If you've made it here to my little corner of the internet, let me just begin by saying thank you. From the title of the blog, you might have an idea about what kind of blog this is going to be, as well as what type of content to expect.  Smut. Lots of it.  You can expect posts featuring reading lists, current favorites, book recommendations, reviews, annotation guides, and how to start a book journal. Pretty much if it has to do with books (smutty ones of course) you'll find it here. But who am I to tell you what books to read, and why should you trust my recommendations? Well, let me introduce myself. My name is Brittany, I'm in my late 20's, and I have read a lot (and I mean A LOT) of books over the course of my life. I might not have started my reading journey with romance books, instead having read a bit of pretty much any genre you can think of, but the last few years have fallen down ...

Book Review: Wild Love by Elsie Silver

 It's no secret that Elsie Silver is the queen of cowboy romance books. Her Chestnut Springs series made it onto many romance readers favorites list over the last few years, so you can guess my excitement (along with everyone else's) when she announced her spin off Rose Hill series. This series not only begins with a book featuring Ford, who is Willa's brother from Chestnut Springs, but also is marketed as being a series where four single dads find love. That's right ladies. Four books all promised to be single-dad romances, taking place in a cozy little mountain side small town. Did I mention they all are on a bowling team for single dads? Here are my thoughts on the first book in her new series, Wild Love . Synopsis When Rosie Belmont finds herself suddenly back in her childhood town of Rose Hill, her brother's best friend Ford will do everything in his power from crossing a line with her. Things get more complicated when Rosie needs a job, and who better to off...

8 Small Town Romances That Will Make You Want To Move To the Middle of Nowhere

  There is nothing quite like the cozy vibes a small town romance book can bring. Almost like how you feel watching a Hallmark movie, or one of my personal favorites, Gilmore Girls. There's something about a tight knit community coming together and hosting events, town meetings, and of course meddling in blooming romances throughout the town, that tends to make for an amazing romance story. So get your hot cocoa (or coffee in an IV as our Gilmore Girls fans do), and get ready to snuggle up with a small town romance. When In Rome Sarah Adams takes us to the small town of Rome, Kentucky in this small town romance between a pop-star and a baker. When burned out popstar Amelia Rose's car breaks down in front of Noah Walkers house, he offers to let her stay in his guest room until her car is back up in running. But between running his Grandma's pie shop, keeping an eye on his siblings, and trying to not be the center of town-gossip, he's got his hands full. Despite this, he ...
