Swoony · Heartwarming

Beach Read

by Emily Henry

🌶️🌶️🌶️ 3/5 spice

A romance writer and a literary fiction author swap genres for the summer — and end up swapping a lot more than writing styles. Witty, warm, and genuinely moving.

Fun · Swoony

Red, White & Royal Blue

by Casey McQuiston

🌶️🌶️🌶️ 3/5 spice

The First Son of the United States and the Prince of England hate each other — until they really, really don't. A deliriously fun queer romance set in a version of the world where everything is a little better. Pure joy in book form.

Office enemies who share one assistant and approximately zero chill. The banter is legendary, the slow burn is agonizing in the best way, and when it finally ignites — worth every single second.

Anna married a stranger for his trust fund — they literally met at the courthouse. Now Liam needs her to play his loving wife at a family wedding on a private island. She's an art student who eats ramen. He's heir to a grocery empire. Forced proximity on a tropical island with one bed. Christina Lauren at their most fun.

Can You Keep a Secret?

by Sophie Kinsella

🌶️🌶️ 2/5 spice

On a turbulent flight, Emma spills every single secret she has to the stranger next to her — her fake Prada bag, her boyfriend's awful bedroom skills, everything. Then she walks into work and discovers that stranger is the company CEO. Kinsella at her funniest.

The Undomestic Goddess

by Sophie Kinsella

🌶️🌶️ 2/5 spice

Samantha is a high-powered London lawyer who makes a catastrophic mistake and runs. She ends up in the countryside where a couple mistakes her for a housekeeper — and she has literally no domestic skills. Burnt dinners, ruined laundry, and the gorgeous gardener next door. Kinsella's coziest escape.

Sasha escapes to a nearly empty beach resort to recover from burnout. Her ex-boyfriend Finn is there for the same reason. Trapped at the same hotel, doing the same wellness activities, they slowly remember why they fell in love the first time. Kinsella's most personal and healing novel.

Russ Callaghan is the hockey team captain who should hate Aurora Roberts — she's on the rival figure skating team, and she's his best friend's little sister. When they're forced to share a lake house for the summer, the rivalry melts into something much hotter. Hannah Grace completes her Maple Hills trilogy with the spiciest entry yet.
