Romance Books to Movies and TV Series Coming in 2023: What To Watch

Every year I scour the internet to determine which romance books to movies and TV shows are coming to the big and small screen.

If you like seeing your favorite romance books adapted to movies and TV series then check out what you have to look forward to watching in 2023 with this book list!

Books have always been great sources of entertainment all on their own, but they are also the best material for movies and TV series.

I for one love when studios and networks adapt romance books to movies and TV series so that I can see my favorite stories and characters come “to life” when I’ve previously only imagined them in my mind.

When it comes to popular movies and TV shows, producers aren’t blind.

They’ve seen the response and popularity of movies like Crazy Rich Asians and The Hating Game to realize that romance books are where it’s at.

I’m actually more partial to romance books to TV series because it’s so hard to capture everything from a book in just a two-hour movie.

With a TV series you can pull in all the details and iconic moments from a book or series and see it play out in all its glory.

And that’s another reason why I like to put these lists together – so that readers can know what’s coming so they can read the book first if they choose to!

Romance Books to Movies Coming in 2023:

Red, White & Royal Blue
by Casey McQuiston

Release Date: August 11, 2023 on Amazon Prime

When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal.

Handsome, charismatic, genius―his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There’s only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond.

And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.

Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals.

What at first begins as a fake friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined.

Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all?

This is my most anticipated romance book to movie of the year! I absolutely adore Nicholas Galitzine and cannot wait to see him bring the role of Prince Henry to life.

Red, White and Royal Blue is one of my all-time favorite romance novels and this movie is going to be epic!

Cast includes Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Henry (who recently starred in the romance book to movie adaptation of Purple Hearts), Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex Claremont-Diaz, Uma Thurman as Ellen Claremont, and Sarah Shahi (known for her role in the romance book to TV series based on BB Easton’s 44 Chapters About 4 Men).

When MMA trainer Sienna Lane walks in on her boyfriend, Jax “Deadbeat” Deneris in bed with her sister, her world falls apart. In less than five minutes, she’s homeless, friendless, family-less.

Vowing to get back at Jax, Sienna quickly charts a course of revenge that will hit him where it hurts most―in the ring.

Step one: convince Jax’s rival, Kayden Williams, to train with her. Step two: beat Jax at his own game.

At first, Kayden wants nothing to do with Sienna’s schemes, but when he figures out that she might be able to give him an advantage, he caves, letting her first into his home, then into his bed, and finally into his heart.

But as much as she cares about Kayden, she can’t let her anger go, and it threatens the shaky foundation they’ve built together from their damaged lives.

When he gives Sienna an ultimatum―it’s either him or her revenge, she’s forced to decide between getting back at Jax or throwing her newfound happiness with Kayden away.

Raquel Álvarez is hard working and serious about her future. It’s always just been her and her mom and that’s kept Raquel on the straight and narrow.

After all, she’s only got one goal—to become a psychologist. Well, that and to get Ares Hildago to notice her.

For as long as Raquel can remember, she has been obsessed with Ares—known to everyone as the rich, hot, popular playboy.

Even though he lives next door, Raquel has never spoken to Ares. Yet, she can’t help thinking there’s more to him . . . and she can’t help imagining what it’d feel like to kiss him.

After a chance encounter reveals her crush is anything but unrequited, their steamy attraction grows into what can only be described as hands-down hot. They fall hard and fast for one another.

Raquel is all in with Ares. But Ares can’t, or won’t, commit, as his struggle with personal and family responsibilities leaves little room for falling in love.

What burns bright burns fast, but for Ares and Raquel, can it last?

Happiness for Beginners
by Katherine Center

Release Date: July 27, 2023 on Netflix

Helen Carpenter can’t quite seem to bounce back. Newly divorced at thirty-two, her life has fallen apart beyond her ability to put it together again.

So when her annoying younger brother, Duncan, convinces her to sign up for a hardcore wilderness survival course in the backwoods of Wyoming—she hopes it’ll be exactly what she needs.

Instead, it’s a disaster. It’s nothing like she wants, or expects, or anticipates. She doesn’t anticipate the surprise summer blizzard, for example—or the blisters, or the rutting elk, or the mean pack of sorority girls.

And she especially doesn’t anticipate that her annoying brother’s even-more-annoying best friend, Jake, will show up for the exact same course—and distract her, derail her, and . . . kiss her.

But it turns out sometimes disaster can teach you exactly the things you need to learn. Like how to keep going, even when you think you can’t.

How being scared can make you brave. And how sometimes getting really, really lost is your only hope of getting found.

This is the second book to movie adaptation for Katherine Center and Vicky Wight. Wight wrote the script and directed Happiness for Beginners which features Ellie Kemper and Luke Grimes.

Check it out this July on Netflix, especially if you love the brother’s best friend romance trope!

Love at First Sight

Then she happens upon the perfect boy in the airport’s cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he’s British, and he’s sitting in her row….

A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival.
