The Love Fix by Jill Shalvis is the last standalone romance in the Sunrise Cove series and I devoured it. If you love small-town romances, family, adorkable pets and heart-warming romances with a touch of sizzle, this is for you.
“These Summer Storms,” a contemporary fiction by Sarah MacLean, was among my most looked-forward-to books of 2025. When I found out Julia Whelan was narrating, I knew I had to listen along. MacLean delivered the perfect beach read filled with family, new beginnings and loss.
If you are looking for a fun, heart-felt, sexy, body embracing novel to read this summer, then I recommend Sunny Side Up by Katie Sturino. This contemporary, steamy romance delivers with humor, friendship, and feminine power. The perfect feel good, uplifting beach read.
We are headed off the mountain for a tropical destination wedding in this enemies to lovers romance. Seven Year Itch by Amy Daws is the second novel in the yummy Mountain Men Matchmaker series. Cat daddy, Calder Fletcher’s brother, is getting married and the tale that unfolds was sweet, sexy and filled with banter.
Sounds Like Love by Ashley Poston is a standalone contemporary romance with a touch of magical realism, as two souls find each other through the melody of a song. With a small-town coastal setting and family, you’ll want to jam to tunes at the Revelry.
If you love small-town romances with heart, you’ll want to grab The Guest Cottage by Lori Foster. This charming tale takes us to Bramble, Kentucky, a lakeside community with some quirks. It is where our heroine, Marlow Heddings, heads to heal and find herself. Perfect for your beach tote!
