Light, fun romance beach reads that’ll brighten your summer days

Light, fun romance beach reads that’ll brighten your summer days
Picture
“beach read” is defined as, “a book you can take on holiday, which is good enough to keep you engaged but not so serious it will spoil your holiday.” That said, here are some awesome beach reads that’ll keep you entertained without giving you a horrific book hangover. (NOTE: That’s not to say these are books without feels. There are PLENTY of feels here. Just not the kind of feels that emotionally cripple you. These books have light, fun, happy feels.) Enjoy!

This really pains me, because I do ADORE Meghan Quinn. I’ve 5-starred LOTS of her books, and added them to tons of “best of” lists. But this one just didn’t completely resonate with me.

But, because my mom always taught me to start with the positives, here are a few things that DID work for me:

Whitney G is one of those magic authors who can make me like stuff I’d otherwise hate. For example, the hero in this book, Michael, is a complete asshole and a manwhore—two things I usually have ZERO tolerance for in a romance hero. But somehow, by the end of the book, I find myself liking him. See what I mean? Magic.

Podcasts that SEEM worth a romance reader’s time

Podcasts that SEEM worth a romance reader’s time
Picture
o, I’m going to be super truthful for a minute. I know what you’re thinking: But Jennifer, when are you ever NOT super truthful? (Some people call it “blunt” and “rude”...but I digress…) You’re right...I’m always truthful. But I don’t always admit to the stuff that makes me sound ignorant. And today, I’m admitting that I’m totally ignorant about podcasts. What can I say? I don’t drive much, and I work from home in complete silence. (Seriously, if someone is BREATHING loudly in the house, I’m useless from an efficiency standpoint.)

​But Romance Rehab’s resident Design Dude recently made me aware that while I’m ignorant of stuff like podcasts, y’all out there in Romancelandia probably aren’t. And armed with that info, I did some internet digging and found some podcasts that SEEM like they’d be super interesting for all you tech savvy podcast-y types out there who also enjoy a good romance novel. (I say “seem” because I haven’t checked them all out yet. I’m hoping I can be lazy and maybe y’all can let me know which ones you like? (Please and thanks.) Happy listening! (Note: We threw in a couple selections that aren't specifically about romance novels but we think you'll like them anyway. Plus, it's our list so we can do whatever we want. So...there's that.)

t’s been awhile since we discussed second chance romances, and since it’s one of my all-time favorite tropes, I thought it was worth creating an ULTIMATE (that’s right, all caps because it’s AWESOME) second chance romance reading list for your binge-reading pleasure. You’re welcome. Happy reading, y’all!

I’ve struggled lately with books that are in Kindle Unlimited. And when I say “struggled” I mean that I’ve read some crap that has made me scratch my head and wonder how anyone could’ve even considered publishing it. But after reading this one, and its predecessor, You Complicate Me...well, I won’t say my faith in Kindle Unlimited is FULLY restored, because I’m a paranoid person and it’d take way more than 1 or 2 great books to do that, but I WILL say that I have no complaints about this author or this duet. In fact, I might even be doing a little happy dance.

If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you know I’m a Melanie Harlow fan. She’s been on more “best of” lists than I can count, is one of my all-time favorite “1 click wonder” authors,  and I’ve 5-starred several books of hers recently, including Irresistible, Only Love, Only You, From This Moment, and If You Were Mine. Basically, if she writes it, 1-click it, read it, and mark it a 5-star read. Haven’t found an exception to that rule yet. So, no one should be surprised that I 5-starred this one.

The first book I read by this author was Stud in the Stacks and I loved it to the point that I gushed about it in an embarrassingly girly manner in my review. So I went into this one with really high expectations. And for the most part, those expectations were met. But there were just a few things that irked me and kept it from being the kind of 5-star keeper that Stud in the Stacks was.

But first, here’s what I loved:

Non-romance novels with compelling love stories

Non-romance novels with compelling love stories
Hello all, Design Dude here. I’m the guy who works with Jennifer behind the scenes to make all her awesome content look pretty (or at least I try to). I’m stepping out from behind the curtain to let y’all in on a little secret about our favorite romance blogger. Even though she’s a HUGE romance fan, one of the things I respect most about Jennifer is her willingness to occasionally step outside her comfort zone and give other genres a try. She even convinced me to try a few romance, which led me to discover what she already knew: good writing is good writing, regardless of the genre. With that in mind, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite non-romance books that feature touching and passionate love stories. Now, I realize most of you are pretty dedicated to the romance genre but if you ever find yourself in an adventurous mood, I humbly suggest you give one of these selections a try.
