The ULTIMATE friends-to-lovers romance reading list (for now)

The ULTIMATE friends-to-lovers romance reading list (for now)
So, we did a friends-to-lovers list a while back, and it was great. But since then, a lot of really AWESOME books have come out that we’d be crazy to exclude. So, with that in mind, here is the ULTIMATE friends-to-lovers romance reading list. (For now, at least, because who knows what’s being written while we speak???)

Here’s a book by an author I’ve read and enjoyed before, it has a decent cover, a decent blurb, and it has over 43K ratings on Goodreads with a 4.3 average reader rating. What can possibly go wrong?

Why book thieves are full of crap #BookThievesSuck. That is all.

Why Book Thieves Are Full of Crap #BookThievesSuck. That is All.
So recently, The Guardian came out with an article about book thieves. (Note: I’m calling them book thieves and not “pirates” because “pirates” sounds way too cool for these thieving losers. They don’t deserve the title, frankly.)  The things these thieves said were so utterly ridiculous that I’m going to need to take a minute to address them comment by comment, I’m afraid. Sorry.

So, with that in mind, The Guardian’s text will be in black, and mine will be in "Romance Rehab red."

Here we go…(takes a deep breath)...

Angsty, tortured, scarred romance heroes guaranteed to melt your heart (and panties)

Angsty, tortured, scarred romance heroes guaranteed to melt your heart (and panties)
I don’t know about you, but the angsty, tortured, scarred romance heroes are my kryptonite. (Emotional and/or physical scars...both work for me) Especially if they’re grumpy. It’s a sickness, I think—one that I have no desire to cure. So, without further delay, here are but a few of our all-time favorite tortured, angsty, scarred, and sometimes grumpy romance heroes. (There are some 5-star recs from a few of our favorite followers, too!) Enjoy!

This is kind of a weird one, folks. There’s technically nothing wrong with it. The characters are interesting and likeable, Joel is a damn near perfect book boyfriend, there’s some good female friendships represented, and it’s low angst. It’s also a friends-to-lovers, slow-burn read with some great witty banter, and y’all know I love those.  

So, why not a 5 star rating?

Well...it’s like this…

I’m a big fan of this author. Have been since 2014 when Worth the Fall came out. And even though I’m terribly behind on my TBR  pile (which does contain several Claudia Connor books), I happily picked this one up from Netgalley and dived right in, secure in the knowledge that I’d love it. And guess what? Yeah, no surprise...I loved it.

Irish romance heroes to help heat up your St. Patrick’s Day

Irish romance heroes to help heat up your St. Patrick’s Day
In the name of full disclosure, we did do an Irish heroes list last year. But that only included 10 heroes, and the rest of the guys were feeling left out, so we thought it was worth updating because on what planet is only 10 hot Irish guys enough? So...you’re welcome. Happy reading!

Just like the author says in the first line of the blurb for this book, I love firemen. Give me a good romance about strong, brave, muscle-y, sweaty...where was I going with that? Lost my train of thought. But anyhoo, even though this one featured a hot fireman hero, I had to tap out at 12%. Here’s what went wrong for me:
