Listen up, Hollywood: Romance novel adaptations we need NOW

10/28/2021

So, after Bridgerton and Virgin River became a huge successes for Netflix, romance readers started wondering what other books and series would be adapted for the big and little screens. Hollywood's answer? Well, they picked a book from 2012 that has...let's just call them "problematic" themes from an equally problematic author. I won't go into all the details here, but The Mary Sue did pretty informative article about it here if you wanted to check out the response this movie is getting. Of course, my big fear is that if this movie flops, Hollywood will throw up their hands and say, "Whelp, audiences don't want romance novel adaptations. Let's give them another Batman prequel and a few more Fast and Furious films." That's not the case, Hollywood! We DO want romance novel adaptations. In fact, here are a few that I'd hock a kidney for:

Books with illustrated covers that actually ARE romance novels, not women's fiction (and they're sexy, too)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm SICK of publishers (traditional publishers in particular) marketing darker romance and books that are more women's fiction than romance under those cutesy illustrated covers. If a book has one of those covers, I expect there to be laughs, fun, and hopefully (fingers crossed) a little sexiness. So today, I'm going to list some of my favorite romance novels with cutesy illustrated covers that don't fail to deliver on the promise those covers make. These are fun, sexy romances WITH HEA ENDINGS that you'll love. So, without further ado, here they are:

Romance novels that give you the sweet Hallmark vibes you want, but with hot Outlander sex

10/8/2021

Look, I'm not a huge fan of Hallmark Channel movies. BUT...I totally get the appeal. There's a wholesome sweetness to them that's super comforting. I also understand the appeal of the from-the-female-gaze, incredibly intimate sex scenes in Outlander. So, when I saw a tweet last month from an ingenious person who said romance readers want Hallmark Channel movie vibes but with Outlander sex, I thought, "That's a Friday book recommendations list!" That said, here are my picks for reads that give off sweet, warm, comforting Hallmark vibes (low-angst, light-hearted, pure sunshine books) but that include the kind of steam you usually have to turn the channel to get. You're welcome:
