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.

The 10 Best Kindle Unlimited Romance Recommendations You Need to Read in 2025

A few years ago I had a realization many bookworms face: my "to-be-read" pile had become an entire library of unread books, with little shelf space remaining. As new books kept coming out, my book buying habit was easily outpacing my reading speed. So, I decided to take the leap and buy a Kindle to not only save money, but to also reduce the amount of physical books I was buying. While I've found some great free books and monthly sales, nothing has saved me more money than my Kindle Unlimited subscription. I often see people asking if Kindle Unlimited is worth it, and my answer is always a resounding "yes."The monthly subscription costs less than a single paperback book, but also lets you borrow up to 20 books at a time. I love that I can read a book digitally at first, then if I absolutely love it, I can buy a physical copy for my shelves later. Plus, it's a fantastic way to save a significant amount of money if you tend to read a lot. And you don't eve...

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 . Get the Book Here 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...

Book Review: First-Time Caller by B.K. Borison

Hi readers! Last month while on vacation I brought First-Time Caller with me, and it became my emotional support book for the duration of my trip. Going to coffee, oh look she has her book. Hot tub? There's her book again. Passenger princess time, more like nose in a book time. All joking aside, I had seen a lot of hype about the newest B.K Borison release, and was very happy to have snagged my book of the month copy just in time for my trip. I previously had enjoyed Lovelight Farms by this author during the winter season, so I had high expectations for her newest release, especially when I heard it was essentially a Sleepless in Seattle retelling. So let's get into it. Get the book here   Synopsis Aiden Valentine is the host of Baltimore's romance hotline but there's just one little issue...he doesn't believe in love. One night Lucie, a single mom, finds her daughter calling into the hotline on her behalf, and her love life is quickly thrown into the spotlight. ...
