The BEST romances for readers who love Jill Shalvis

The best romances for readers who LOVE Jill Shalvis
I’m not one to say, “If you love author X, you’ll also love author Y.” I mean, we’re all different, and authors are all different, so it’s really hard to say who is going to like what and why. But sometimes when you run through every book your favorite author has ever written and you’re months away from a new release from them,  you just need some recommendations—maybe a little guidance on what to do with your reading life when you’ve exhausted your supply of a particular author’s books. In this list, we’re focusing on what to do with your life when you’ve run out of Jill Shalvis books.

Love after loss: Inspiring romance reads that will make you cry (in a good way)
Picture
ot all romance novels are like Hallmark Channel movies. Sometimes the characters go through hell before they find their happily ever afters. (We can only assume that’s because authors are big meanies who love to torment their characters and make readers cry. But I digress…) So, with that in mind, here are our picks for the best reads that prove there can be love after loss.

I’m guessing this book will not be for everyone because it’s very different than about 90% of what’s out there right now in paranormal romance land. But for me? It was AWESOME.

This one was a bit of a mixed bag for me. There were so many things I loved that this SHOULD have been a 5-star book. But then there were just a couple of things that dragged it down for me…

Plot overview:  Engaged good girl, Ruby, meets semi-bad boy, Noah. Sparks fly.  It’s an opposites-attract, friends-to-lovers, younger woman/older man romance. (She’s 19, he’s almost 30)

So you’re new to...Reverse harem

The top authors new readers of reverse harem romance NEED to check out. Like, now.

ne of the questions we get asked most often here at Romance Rehab is what authors we recommend for readers who are new to a particular subcategory of romance. Say, for example, you’ve always read historical romance, but you’re ready to branch out into vampires and werewolves. Well, that’s why we started the “So you’re new to...” series. We’ll be answering that big question one subcategory at a time.

The ULTIMATE enemies-to-lovers romance reading list
It’s been awhile since we discussed enemies-to-lovers 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) enemies-to-lovers romance reading list for your binge-reading pleasure. You’re welcome. Happy reading, y’all!

Oh, Lord. (*Deep, world-weary sigh*) I did a dumb thing. Again. I was looking for paranormal romance, so I just typed that into the Amazon search bar and clicked on the first book that had a not-scary cover and a slew of decent reviews and started reading. I should’ve just downloaded a sample, or dug a little deeper into the reviews, but...I didn’t.

This one made me mad, folks. Why? Because it’s a well-written, funny book with a hot, hot, HOT hero that seems like a genuinely, hard-working, nice guy, and the heroine is...a complete twatwaffle that I hated with the fire of a thousand suns.

Plot overview: Allie seeks to get revenge on her cheating ex by filming herself having a hot one-night stand with football star Roan. A sex tape scandel ensues.

7 romance novel secondary characters I never want to see again

e’ve already talked about heroes, heroines, and villains I never want to see again in romance novels, and we’ve talked about tropes I never want to see again. But we’ve never talked about secondary characters I never want to see again, and I thought it was high time to rectify that. So, without further ado, here are the offenders…

Blackwood by Celia Aaron
Rating: 5/5
Heat rating: 4/5
Amazon buy button
Category: ​Romantic suspense
Publication date: 01/07/2017
Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Cliffhanger: No

This one was a re-read for me. I’ve read everything Celia Aaron has ever written, and I’ve never rated any of her books less than a 5, I don’t think. So, it should come as a surprise to absolutely no one when I say I loved this book.

Plot overview: Archaeology student Elise encounters mystery and intrigue on the property of Garrett Blackwood while investigating her father’s disappearance under the guise of an official dig. It’s a dark romantic suspense with a side of erotica, and sort of a loose interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

I’ve had so many DNF books lately, folks, that I was starting to get depressed. I actually watched an episode of Dance Moms because I didn’t have anything to read. (I’m not proud of that. It was a low moment.) But after that rock-bottom moment, I noticed that Tia Louise had a new release, so I 1-clicked as fast as humanly possible, because THIS is a woman who has NEVER let me down. And because of her, my slump was broken.
