Here at Romance Rehab, we’re BIG Avengers fans. So, in honor of the release of Avengers: Endgame, we wanted to take the opportunity to combine our love of Avengers with our love of romance novels and make some fabulous book recommendations to all you fine folks. You’re welcome. So, without further ado, here are some romances you’ll LOVE based on your favorite Avengers character.   

(Note: Yes, we realize some of our recs are urban fantasy, not really romance. But they all have a strong romantic element, so we stand by our picks. And, it’s our list and no one is the boss of us, so there’s that. Let’s not get judgy and just have fun with this, m’kay?)
