The ultimate forced proximity romance reads

The ultimate forced proximity romance reads
For those of you who don’t know, forced proximity romance isn’t exactly what it sounds like. It sounds vaguely violent and icky, but it’s not that at all. Forced proximity as a trope is really just an umbrella term for anything that forces characters to spend time together in close quarters. So, it can include (but isn’t limited to):
  • Road trips
  • Stranded together
  • Forced to work together on a project of some sort (for work or to thwart a villain)
  • Guests/bridal party of a destination wedding
  • Kidnapping (yes, it happens in romance sometimes--and sometimes it’s not all dark and violent and twisty. Sometimes it actually IS romantic)
  • Bodyguard situations
  • Various roommate scenarios

So, that said, here is the ultimate forced proximity romance reading list. Enjoy!
