A COWBOY TO REMEMBER by Rebekah Weatherspoon (Book News)

A loose, contemporary riff on Sleeping Beauty, A Cowboy to Remember manages to dodge melodrama and sail over the typical pitfalls of an amnesia plot to offer a truly satisfying take on the trope. Zach is a sweetheart with swagger who winkingly subverts cowboy stereotypes, but is happy to play up the aw shucks image when it’s to his advantage. While his rejection of Evie in their teens led to a decade long estrangement, when her injury brings him back into her life, he’s upfront about their history and careful not to take advantage of her memory loss.

ACT YOUR AGE, EVE BROWN by Talia Hibbert

This book is an infusion of pure joy! Thoughtful, silly, and sexy in equal measure, it’s the perfect conclusion to the Brown Sisters trilogy, and a tropetastic confection packed with enemies (to friends) to lovers, opposites attract, pining roommates, chest rubbing feels and grumpy/sunshine goodness.

WILD RAIN by Beverly Jenkins

I’m always ready to read a historical romance with a heroine who has a strong sense of self and a healthy disregard for gender norms, but make her a maverick rancher and put her in the hands of a storyteller like Beverly Jenkins, and you’ve got a book I’ll come back to again & again.

HOOK SHOT by Kennedy Ryan

You know those romance novels that affect you so deeply you still think of them months or years later?⁠ ⁠ Hook Shot is one of those for me. It was the first Kennedy Ryan book I ever read and a revelation in how a romance novel can tackle deep trauma but remain powerfully uplifting.⁠ ⁠

Its heroine, Lotus DuPree, is a larger than life goddess of a woman wrapped in a tiny, tattooed package. Fierce, funny & captivating, she's made a prominent place for herself in the design world and owns every room she walks into with the force of her charisma.⁠ ⁠
