11 Sweet and sexy romance novels to binge on this Halloween
Who’s in the mood for some witches, vampires, werewolves, zombies and other creepy crawly creatures that go bump in the night? You don’t have to answer. We totally know you are. Nothing to be ashamed of. So, go ahead and grab some candy (the good stuff, not the candy corn and off-brand taffy), crawl under the covers, turn off the lights, and settle in for some spooktacular romances this Halloween! Here are our top recommendations:

(Listed in no particular order. And just so you know, some of these books might not be marketed as “romance”, per se. But they all have a strong romantic element that greatly impacts the plot—so, that’s why they’re on the list. Let’s not argue about category classifications, m’kay? ‘Cause I’m ready and willing to whip out the “It’s my list, I do what I want, no one is the boss of me" argument if I have to. And no one wants that.)

Howl do you do

Howl do you do by Amanda Carney
A girl-meets-wolf Halloween short story by author Amanda Carney

Sarah Merriman had never considered book blogging to be a dangerous job, yet here she was, crouched behind a scraggly juniper bush in Great Seal State Park, clutching her pepper-spray-on-a-keychain with white knuckles as a werewolf stalked the shadowed, beautifully maintained grounds. She blinked again. Despite her best efforts to convince herself she was hallucinating, it was still there; a dark, shaggy, lumbering beast loping over the grass under the pale moonlight, sniffing for something. Probably her.

Top 11 sexy recluse heroes you wouldn’t mind hiding away with

Top 11 sexy recluse heroes you wouldn’t mind hiding away with
I don’t know why, but I love a good romance about a sexy recluse. (Extra points awarded if he’s a grumpy, sexy recluse) Maybe it’s because I’m fairly antisocial and avoid the outside world as much as possible except for when I’m out of food? Maybe it’s because I like dogs more than I like most people? I dunno. Regardless, I gobble up every book I can find that includes sexy recluse heroes. So, with that in mind, here are my picks for the top 11 sexy recluse heroes you wouldn’t mind hiding away from the world with.

Sweet fancy Moses, I am on a bad book streak, folks. It’s getting to be like the setup for a terrifying horror movie. I mean, what if I NEVER AGAIN find a book I love?? AAAAGGGHHHH! But I digress...didn’t mean to spiral on y’all… (*clears throat*)

So, about this book...there are a few issues that made me DNF at 21%. Here we go:

Because we all need a little more security in our reading lives, Romance Rehab brings you the 1-click wonders author spotlight series. The authors featured here are totally safe, meaning you can download any of their books and be thoroughly entertained. Seriously, there’s not a stinker in the bunch. You can go ahead and 1-click with total confidence.

Today, we’re spotlighting Emma Chase, a USA Today and NYT bestseller who writes contemporary romance that can make you laugh and cry all at the same time. I call her the “book slump buster” because I know that whenever I’m on a bad book streak, I can pick up an Emma Chase book and she’ll fix everything for me. Her dialogue is some of the best in the genre (snappy, hilarious, snarky, and smart). And her stories told from the male point of view are some of the best you’ll ever find. (They don’t read like a woman writing a man—they read like REAL men. Awesome, sexy, swoon-worthy men.) As we said, you can 1-click any of her books with confidence, but here are 6 of our all-time favorites:

CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Title: Unloved
Author: Katy Regnery
Publication date: 10/07/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

Oh, holy hell, this lady can write. Believe it or not, this is the first Katy Regnery book I’ve ever read, and now I feel like I’ve been missing out on a crucial part of life, like air or water or pizza or something. How did I not know about this woman??

It was the blurb that sold me on this book. I will also admit that the cover was intriguing, as well. Slapping a muscly lumberjack dude with an open flannel shirt and rock-hard abs on this book’s cover would’ve been the easy route. 
I admire the author for taking the totally classy route with an artsy cover. (Not that I have anything against muscly lumberjack dudes with open flannel shirts and rock-hard abs. They’re quite lovely really. But I digress…)

6 Reasons why Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead would make an EXCELLENT book boyfriend

6 Reasons why Daryl Dixon from The Walking Dead would make an EXCELLENT book boyfriend
Let’s face it. If The Walking Dead was a romance novel, Daryl Dixon would be the hero. I mean, sure, Rick is handsome and smart and sexily ruthless at times, but his track record with women is pretty awful. (I say a little prayer in every episode that Michonne won’t suffer the same fate as Lori or Jessie. My heart couldn’t take it.) And Aaron is an awesome guy, but he’s clearly taken. Jesus is an option, but he’s still a little too mysterious at this point for me to make a final decision about his book boyfriend status. I really enjoy Ezekiel and LOVE that he has a pet tiger, but I’m not a huge fan of the whole “king” act he has to put on to keep his people happy, so he’s not my first choice. Don’t even get me started on Morgan and his pacifist tendencies. (The zombie apocalypse is no place for pacifists!!) That pretty much leaves Daryl, which, as it turns out, isn’t a bad thing at all. So, without further ado, here’s why Daryl Dixon would make an exceptional book boyfriend:

PARANORMAL ROMANCE

Publication date: 10/22/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

Wow, y’all. I knew Celia Aaron was a fan-freakin’-tastic author of dark romance. I mean, I LOVED
The Bad Guy, Dark Protector and Nate. But I had NO IDEA she could write the crap out of paranormal romance/urban fantasy. Guess what? SHE CAN.


There’s so much interesting world building in this one that it almost qualifies as urban fantasy.

11 Romance novel characters we NEED on our zombie apocalypse team
Here at Romance Rehab, we’re SUPER huge fans of The Walking Dead. (Well, I’m a big fan. The Design Dude fell off TWD bandwagon at the end of season 6, but I don’t hold that against him. Not much, anyway.) We’re also pretty serious about our zombie apocalypse planning, because, hey, we all know it’s gonna happen one of these days, right? So, with that in mind, and given our HUGE love for romance novels, here are our top 11 picks for romance novel characters we’d draft to our official zombie apocalypse team immediately:

Note: no magical characters are included. That’d be cheating. And these are listed in no particular order. ​

CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

Title: Exes with Benefits
Author: Nicole Williams
Publication date: 09/18/2017
Kindle Unlimited: No
Cliffhanger: No

I’m a huge fan of Nicole Williams, second chance romances and hot mechanics with their shirts off (hello, Mr. Hot Sexy dude on the cover of this book! Nice to see you. No, really. Very. Nice.). So, at a quick glance, this book had everything I could ever want in a romance. I’ve been on an epic run of bad books lately, so I was biting my nails as I started reading, terrified that I’d be let down again. But thankfully, this one didn’t disappoint. (*Huge sigh of relief*)

Her heroines are smart, quirky women you’d want to be friends with in real life, and her heroes are, well, swoony. (There’s really no better word for it than that) Her books have the perfect ratio of humor to emotional times to sexiness, which isn’t something you find too often in Romance Land. As we said, you can 1-click any of her books with confidence, but here are 6 of our all-time favorites:

NEW ADULT  ROMANCE

Title: Tempting
Author: Crystal Kaswell  
Publication date: 09/27/2017
Kindle Unlimited: Yes
Cliffhanger: I dunno

This book is the worst kind of DNF. It’s the kind of DNF you go into absolutely SURE the book is going to be good. How can it not be? The cover is good, the blurb is good, the writing as you crack the book open is good. How could it possibly go wrong? And that’s when the suck creeps over you, insidiously, like a bad smell you can’t quite identify or locate, invading your happy little reading space until you’re forced to admit that you’ve picked up a bad read and have wasted hours of your life you’ll never get back. It’s the bad book in a good book’s clothing, if you will.

Top 6 reasons why Dean Winchester would make a great book boyfriend, but a lousy real one

Top 6 reasons why Dean Winchester would make a great book boyfriend, but a lousy real one
I’ve watched every episode of Supernatural. Through the good and bad, the deaths and rebirths, the tears and laughs, I’ve remained loyal to the show and to (my future second husband) the incredibly talented Jensen Ackles (aka: Dean Winchester). And as a fan of the show who is also a HUGE fan of romance novels, I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Dean Winchester would make a phenomenal book boyfriend. But in real life...well...not so much. Now, before all you Dean fans jump on me with both feet, hear me out:
