Swoon over these dreamy book boyfriends this Valentine’s Day!

Hi book lovers! I am back with another edition of Valentine’s Day book recommendations. I am biased towards romance novels-nothing new! This year I decided to focus on books with attractive, mysterious, and handsome love interests. But I did not forget about the female leads either because a great romance requires a balance of female and male leads.

Get ready to simp over these dreamy protagonists and their love interests this Valentine’s Day. I attempted to include some Ya novels on this list for the young readers-emphasis on attempt.

Ariel and Eric sing romance ballads together in “Kiss the Girl”

Zoraida Cordova has done it again! If there is one author, I can trust to tell a compelling story with a grand romance and feature latino/a characters- it’s Zoraida Cordova! Cordova has written many books ranging from middle grade to adult, but her most popular novel, The Inheritance of Orquidea Divina, is clever and beautiful!

Kiss the Girl is a fantastic musician contemporary romance and a Little Mermaid retelling too! This novel is full of lots of funny moments, easter eggs, and great characters, it’s a great treat for romance lovers. Also, Kiss the Girl is part of a fairytale retelling series titled-Meant To Be which features great authors such as Jasmine Guillory, Julie Murphy, and Christine Lauren.

Thinking about Mafia Romances? Add The Thief to your list!

Hey book besties I hope your latest read was awesome, and if it wasn’t, perhaps this review will entertain you. Over the summer, I decided to dive into mafia romance. I haven’t explored this genre, but this summer was full of discoveries, and The Thief by Tara Crescent is a treasure.

Mafia Romances are known for their dark themes and unhinged love interests, but Crescent’s The Thief is not that. Although this novel does feature a dreamy Mafia boss and an Art Thief heroine, it’s more lighthearted. So, if you’re thinking of picking up a cozy Mafia romance, keep this one in mind.

The Heart Principal: Tackling Grief and Romance

Hey book lovers!

This novel has been on my TBR since its announcement. But the pandemic made me forget some of that excitement, and so many releases from then have slipped my mind that I needed to finish the last book in this beautiful series.

Like previous novels, The Heart Principle centers around a protagonist on the autism spectrum and follows their adventure into romance. But what I like about this series is that it follows a family, and they make cameos in each other’s stories.

The initial two novels in this series lean more towards romance while also tackling some serious topics. But The Heart Principal-is the opposite. It’s an enjoyable read, but it’s heavier than the initial novels.

Cinder is more on the Young Adult side plot and character wise, but the sci fi element and the world of this novel is incredible! Summary: Cinder Linh, an excellent mechanic and a cyborg, living…
