Best Romance Books of 2026
If you only read a few romance books this year, make it the books that have earned my 5-star rating: View the full list
A grumpy plastic surgeon, a people-pleasing medical resident and a paid arrangement that turns into fake dating in one of the swooniest romances I’ve read all year.
A grumpy sunshine romance with such heart between a chef and social influencer that you won’t be able to put down.
Carley Fortune’s most emotionally satisfying romance yet, with devastating longing, an immersive coastal setting, and a hero who completely stole my heart.
An intense MM romance with incredible chemistry and a slow burn that builds beautifully.
