The Best Halloween Romance Books to Devour This Season:

A Very No Strings Halloween
by Kayley Loring and Connor Crais

Halloween: it’s a holiday where people shed their boring everyday personalities and become fantastic beings ready for an epic party. Well, guess what? That’s Billy Boston 24/7, 365, baby! It’s who I was before I became a millionaire and it’s who I’ll always be.

My beautiful next door neighbor, Donna, is a hardworking nurse who takes her job seriously and her fun even more so.  All she wants is a no-strings arrangement and that’s fine by me. It’s Halloween for us every time we’re together because she likes to role play. There’s no way to get attached if we’re both pretending to be someone else, right?

It’s all smooth as a good whiskey until my married cousins bet me that I can’t get a serious girlfriend by November. So, Donna and I make a deal: She’ll help fix me up to be a proper boyfriend and I’ll help fix up the farmhouse she inherited. The one she thinks is haunted.

And that’s not the scary part. Because I realize I’m falling wicked hard for Donna. For real. She’s spooked by the ghost, but I’m afraid I’ll spook her if I tell her how I really feel. We made a pact when we started this no-strings thing: If either of us gets serious, we have to end it.

I have to trick Donna into thinking she’s teaching me how to date, when really I’m treating her to dates with me.  But if I screw this up, I’ll lose the woman I’m in love with. And that’ll haunt me forever. 

Kayley Lorings’s Very Holiday series is such a blast and I love how she is completing the series with a Halloween romance with the hilarious Boston cousin, Billy.  You’ve seen snippets of Billy in previous books but this one can be read as a standalone if you’re in the mood for a Halloween-themed book that will have you laughing in stitches.

Bewitched by You
by Kendra Mase

Luella Pierce is having a mid-witch crisis. Her best friend is top of her class and currently on a fast track to land her dream job. Her coven members have all found their passions in life and are excited to start their next chapter.

Even her arch nemesis and Barnett University’s star football player, Ryan Gardner, has future plans. Sure, they’re to become a permanent nuisance in her life, but still. Everyone else seems to have life figured out except her.

Lu’s big plans? Procrastinating the future by throwing all her energy into creating the most fantastic Samhain–Halloween–celebration BU has ever seen. That is, if she can convince the student council she won’t perform any satanic rituals. Cue the eye roll.

But when Ryan sustains a career-ending injury and Lu receives an offer from her sweet yet meddling coven matriarch that causes her to rethink everything, Lu also begins to question if the strongest magic may be taking a chance on love. And herself.

If you’re in the mood for a Halloween romance set in college with a cinnamon roll hero consider Bewitched by You. It’s a fun, new adult romance with a modern day witch.

Trick or Beast
by Sarah Spade

It was just supposed to be three nights in the forest. After Halloween, I would be free… but only if I wanted to be.

Have you ever heard the legend of Jack? If your answer to that is “which one”, then you’re better prepared than I was when I first walked into the dark forests of Blackmoor.

Three nights. I just had to make it three nights and then I would be set for life.

They warn you before you take your first step past the trees that there are monsters and creatures lurking within. That they’ll eat you if you’re not careful. I learn the first night that they’ll eat you even if you are.

Between wicked werewolves that more beast than man, and the infamous Jack of legend—all of them—welcoming me in the shadows of the dark forest, I don’t know if I’ll make it to Halloween the same woman I was when I entered the woods.

Or if, by the time the three males are done with me, I’ll even want to leave…

Sometimes a quick why choose romance is just what the doctor ordered to get you in the holiday mood. This Halloween romance book is definitely that where you get a heroine who finds herself with not one but two werewolf guards and Jack himself.

Carving for Cara
by Melissa McSherry and Dana Leeann

It was Halloween, my favorite time of the year. I had my dream job as a tattoo artist, a loyal best friend, and an ex who happily tended to my needs without complicating our arrangement with feelings.

Everything was going great until Devil’s Night when the masked man watched me from the shadows like a predator stalking his next meal, and that’s what I was: his prey.

Like any natural-born predator, he was bloodthirsty, staking his claim to me before I could see the face behind his mask. He wasn’t afraid to kill for a bite of what he craved, even if it meant shedding the blood of those closest to me. Once he had a taste, he hungered for more, and the more he needed it, the more I wanted to give it to him.

Check out this dark, Halloween romance novella that will leave you never looking at a corn cob the same again. If you fall for this cat-and-mouse romance then you can follow it up with the next book, Little Nightmare, which continues Cara and Rhett’s story.

Halloween at the Graff
by Sinclair Jayne

Starting over at thirty-two is never fun, especially in a town the size of a postage stamp. Chasing that with having to beg for a job she’s wildly over-qualified for and Walker Wilder’s pride is really burned.

But now that she’s the new events director for the historic Montana Graff Hotel, she’s tasked with creating buzz and traditions to fill rooms during the off-season.

Halloween may not scream touristy, but hiring a spirit-hunting TV crew will definitely grab some headlines… But when the hot spirit hunter shows up, he haunts more than her dreams.

Calum Quest is done. He’s created an entertainment empire by chasing something he’s never seen and is tired of asking questions with no answers.

His life has been defined by ghosts he needs to exorcise, yet, when a red-haired, grey-eyed beauty with a body that melts his mind pours him a double shot of Laphroaig whiskey and challenges him to one more round, how can he say no?

I love that this Halloween romance book features a hero who is a spirit hunter and exerciser of ghosts!

If you’re a fan of forced proximity romance books, this should be your pick for the season as Calum and Walker find love in a historic (and perhaps haunted) hotel.

All I Want for Halloween
by Marie Harte

Dressed up and anonymous, Sadie Liberato feels powerful, hot and free. Where better to lose herself than a masked party?

Gear Blackstone’s cheating ex and scheming best friend have managed to spin his life into a serious downward spiral.

At least with a mask on he can cut loose for one night. And cut loose he does—with the hottest, snarkiest chick he’s ever met.

After a scorching-hot encounter, Sadie and Gear are desperate to find each other in real life. But can the heat last when the masks come off?

There’s just something about slipping on a costume or donning a mask that brings a veil of anonymity and releases one’s inhibitions.

And a masked party is the perfect setup for this spicy romance book that turns up the heat for two down-and-out characters who could use a night to let go.

Go on and live on the wild side with Sadie and Gear in this Halloween romance book and maybe get some inspiration for your next Halloween party!

Happily Haunted Afters
by Brittany Kelley

I’m done juggling boring jobs and terrible boyfriends. It’s time to nail down my goal of owning a hotel — and fix my friendship with my ex-best friend, Jack Colson.

He’s a big shot investor, and I’m going to need one. Nailing him barely crosses my mind.

I might actually get my life in order, especially if I snag the deep (and deeply weird) discount for staying an entire weekend at my dream property. It’s hard not to fall in love with the place.

Though I could do without the creepy doll that lives there, the noises Jack insists are raccoons, and the eerie AF abandoned hotel I’d need an even spookier amount of money to renovate.

The worst part is, I’m falling for Jack… again. He’ll never invest if he finds out I have feelings for him.

But as we work through the phantoms of problems past, we’ll have to figure out if the property is infested with rodents — or something else that goes bump in the night.

Happily Haunted Afters turns up the spooky and the spicy in this second chance romance where a happily ever after is found in a creepy old house between two former best friends.

I’m not sure I’d be as brave as Emma to sleep in a dilapidated house even if my hot best friend was with me. I’d be out of there at the first eerie sound or sign of anything crawling on the floor!

But this book does make the perfect Halloween romance book if you’re looking for a cute romantic comedy.

Halloween Boo
by Sarah Spade

Dani: So, I think my apartment is haunted. Spooky things have been happening to me ever since I moved in last year.

At first, I ignored them. Later, I got used to the idea that I shared my place with a ghost. I even called him Casper. We got along just fine.

Until a hot hunk showed up the night before Halloween and told me that his name wasn’t Casper—it was Zack.

And that, on All Hallow’s Eve, certain ghosts sometimes have the power to cross over into the human world. Which he did, because he loves me.

Zack: I’m in love. The only problem? She’s alive. And me? I’m kinda not.

At least, I’m not on every day except for October 31st. Because on Halloween? Anything goes.

I want Dani. And even if it’s only for the one night when ghosts can cross over to the living world, I’ll take what I can get. Because I love a mortal, and it’s not just hocus pocus.

Danielle Williams doesn’t believe in ghosts. But this Halloween, after a year of watching over and falling in love with his mortal houseguest, Zack Banks is ready to prove that this particular ghost might just believe in her.

Halloween Boo is the first novella in the Holiday Hunks series and the perfect Halloween romance book if you have a soft spot for ghosts or simply enjoy paranormal romance.

If you have a Kindle Unlimited membership, this should be on your TBR list for the holiday if you like steamy reads!

Halloween Games
by Sophia Snowe

She is the latest TikTok star, a renowned Booktoker. He just retired from the armed forces and is hired to protect her.

She hates him already, but needs him to keep her safe from her creepy stalker.

Cathy cannot deny that she’s instantly attracted to Lennox—a six-foot-nine giant who likes order her around.

And when she has to attend the Halloween ball with all her bookish friends, she gives in and proposes a game to Lennox—a cat-and-mouse game that would give her the most epic Wattpad moment…

I’m a sucker for bodyguard romance books but I love that this book features a heroine who’s famous on #Booktok.

Plus, how fun would it be to attend a Halloween ball with your bookish friends?! I cannot wait to live vicariously through the pages!

Halloween Werewolf
by Kestra Pingree

A wolf howls on the mountain. Austin’s heart skips a beat. It’s been a long time since he heard that sound. And it brings back memories.

Some are good. Some are bad. It was the usual Halloween fun. Then it was two “werewolf” pelts flaunted on a viral video.

All of it conjures up memories of Mateo, Austin’s first love.

When Mateo disappeared four years ago, Austin tried to let him go. He tried to forget about the “werewolves.” But he couldn’t.

Mateo is one of them.

That howling means Mateo is back. And Austin has no intention of letting him leave this time.

It goes without saying that Halloween is the perfect time to read a shapeshifter romance but I LOVE werewolf romance books in particular so you can count on me reading this Halloween romance novel.

Halloween Werewolf is a steamy, MM romance and is book one in The Holiday Shifter Mates series if you want even more LGBTQ+ shifter romance books.

Scream for Us
by Molly Doyle

After wandering into an alluring Halloween party that is said to go down in history, Quinn finds herself captivated by three masked men.

As she immerses herself in a night of both pleasure and pain, she finally has the perfect opportunity to bring her darkest fantasies to life.

Scream for Us takes things to the dark side in the Halloween romance novella that gives new meaning to the words mature and graphic for this reverse harem romance.

You’ll want to take note of all the trigger warnings given for this one if you normally go for romance books on the lighter side because this is not that.

The author wants to take you on a wild ride, so if that’s what you’re looking for this Halloween, carry on! You’ve been warned 😊.

Ghost
by Kat Blackthorne

Ames: I wanted to shake her and scream, “You don’t have to be afraid anymore, you have me.”

And then chain her to my bed and yell, “You should be very afraid now that you have me.”

I inhabited a form that was what every legend and dark tale warned little girls like her about.

I’d slaughtered a thousand times over and I’d do so a thousand more. But the worst thing I’d ever do… would be what I did to her.

Blythe: If kept running, I wouldn’t break. If I kept hiding, I wouldn’t cry. If I kept moving he wouldn’t find me.

Running from an impossible evil landed me between the claws of something ancient and horrifying. I went to the masquerade as a fox.

How ironic, because I didn’t feel clever, sly or brave. I was a wounded rabbit waiting for teeth. And more than one set of fangs found me.

The worst part of all? I liked it.

Looking for a monster this Halloween? This paranormal urban fantasy Halloween romance is all about the alpha male Blythe can’t seem to resist.

Ghost is book one in the Halloween Boys monster romance series so check it out and then read them all once you’re hooked on these possessive monsters.

Deeper You Dig
by Autumn Jones Lake

Trick-or-treat! It’s time for the grand opening of the new clubhouse…

Resident deviant Thomas “Ravage” Kane has been tasked with planning the Halloween party this year.

Everyone will be there wearing their creepiest and most creative costumes. An unexpected treat leads to a danger that wasn’t in Ravage’s plans.

This is the Halloween romance book for fans of motorcycle club romances where you’ll join the members of the Lost Kings Motorcycle Club for a steamy Halloween party.

You can read this as a standalone for the Halloween holiday fun but you can also check out the entire Lost Kings series first so you’ll know the key players going into it.

All Hallows’ Eve
by Annabelle Jacobs

Dominic Ashworth is descended from a long line of witches, although the family practice of witchcraft ended generations ago.

Forever connected to a dark history, the house he grew up in remained in the Ashworth family for generations until his estranged father sold it.

On a mission to check out the new owners, Dominic runs into Caleb Jones and gives the gorgeous man his phone number—but getting a date should be the last thing on Dominic’s agenda.

Caleb and his best friend, Zach Briceworth, are oblivious to the heartache and magic tied to the foundations of their new home.

When strange things start to happen, the truth emerges and surprises them both, especially as everything revolves around Caleb’s new love interest.

Check out this Halloween romance book if you want to get into the spirit of the season but don’t want to be totally freaked out 😊.

It’s a bit spooky with some mystery with its fair share of ghosts but not overly scary when it comes to the MM romance love story between Caleb and Dominic.

Brekk
by Alana Khan

Brekk waited a lifetime to find his fated mate. When Isabella discovers his monstrous secret, will Halloween fun turn into her worst nightmare?

Isabella: I love living on Hallion, but I miss my favorite Earth holiday—Halloween.

What better way to fit into my new home planet than to organize a Haunted House in an abandoned meat packing plant? Bonus! The hottest male on the planet just volunteered to help.

Brekk: I’ve tried to keep my frightening nature a secret from my charming fated mate.

What will happen when she discovers I’m the real monster in her fake haunted house?

I love this Halloween romance book that features a human and alien who’s afraid to show his monster side.

The author calls this a Beauty and the Beast spooky Halloween romance but I think if you like alien romance books then it’s one you have to check out.

Last Bite
by Kai Lesy

Meet Xavier. Tall. Dark. Mysterious. Older. Much Older.

The man I grew up fantasizing about. I’m all grown up now. And my hot neighbor, turned demanding boss is beginning to finally notice.

I’m feverishly waiting for the Halloween Ball to profess my love. I mean he’s pretty fr*ckin perfect.

Except for the small part about living off human blood. Or him potentially planting a seed inside me that could change everything.

This is a Halloween romance book with all the romance tropes I can’t get enough of – age gap, boss romance, vampire, virgin, neighbors to lovers. WOW!  

I’m honestly just curious to see how hot Xavier’s bite is 😊.

In Her Pumpkin Patch
by Alina Jacobs

Garrett: Fall. Autumn. It doesn’t matter what you call it, I hate it. I despise pumpkins, Halloween, and the overwhelming sense of dread as the cold and damp move in.

But when my new chauffeur drives up in a hearse, Halloween carols blaring, I realize there will be no escape from the holiday.

Penny is the self-proclaimed Queen of Fall. And it’s her mission to turn me into a pumpkin spice fiend.

Penny: I love Halloween and my home town of Harrogate is the original Halloween town, but now I’m back having failed as a journalist and stuck with a new temp job for a grouchy billionaire.

Garrett is in desperate need of some Halloween cheer. But as much as I want to take him in the back of my hearse and have my way with him I can’t be distracted by his washboard abs.

Of course this list needed a super cute romcom giving all the feels of Fall. I love that it’s also a grumpy sunshine romance with a billionaire who can’t stand Halloween.

This Halloween romance reminds me of Christmas romance books where the hero is a Scrooge and can’t stand the holiday.

A Very Mountain Man Halloween
by Shaw Hart

Magnolia: It all started three months ago. That was when my restraining order was finally approved.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t stopped my stalker from following me from one town to the next. Then I make a stop in Fallen Peak and my situation seems to go from bad to worse.

Graham: I don’t know what drew me to the curvy blonde bombshell, but one look and I knew that she was meant to be mine.

When I clock the hooded figure following her, I react and kidnap her before they can hurt her.

Now I’ve got to convince my dream girl that she can trust me to keep her safe while unraveling the mystery of who is really after her.

Will Graham be able to slay Magnolia’s monsters this Halloween and convince her that she belongs with him?

I love the set up of this forced proximity Halloween romance novella where the hero kidnaps the heroine to save her.

OK, I can understand Magnolia’s apprehension but cannot wait to see when she finally gives in to Graham’s charms!

Totally Spooked
by Zoey Indiana

Blindfolded speed dating for shifters, what could go wrong?

I spent years fighting alongside some of the best males I’ve ever known. One mission went wrong and I lost my twin brother.

Now, I’ve settled into a less dangerous job developing new sonar technology for the military.

My life looks perfect, but I can’t get rid of this feeling I’m missing something. My family and friends keep pushing me to date, hoping I’ll finally find someone to keep me busy.

I don’t want Mrs. Right Now… I need my fated mate. My beast drives me to find her, so I keep agreeing to blind dates that end badly.

But when a friend shows up on Halloween with an invite to a shifter speed dating event, I can’t pass on this chance to find my fated mate.

If you only have time for a short Halloween romance book before darting off to a Halloween party, consider checking out Totally Spooked, the first in the Shifter Speed Dating series of short, steamy, shifter holiday romances.

Got to admit, I’ve never read a book about a bat shapeshifter but I’m super curious to meet Felix, the hero with a wounded heart desperate to find his fated mate!
