I don’t read books with explicit scenes, and I don’t write them either. I’ve read hundreds of novels in this genre and written several of my own. I believe closed-door romances can be just as tension-filled and fun as those with spice. I love the closed-door romance community and have a passion for sharing books that make me laugh, cry, and swoon.
I absolutely loved the way that Emma wrote these characters. I related to Seraphina and fell for Rafe’s charm time and time again. They’re a couple that’s perfect for each other.
Some book couples you read and think they may not make it past the last page, but I could see these two together forever. The whole book made me swoon and laugh.
This is my favorite grumpy/sunshine book. I recommend it to everyone I know all the time. Ty is such a well-written, layered character, and June is the perfect match-up for his stubborn self. There’s depth but also humor, and wow, was there heat. The tension is killer and will have you screaming, "Just kiss her!"
I’m going to help this grumpy rancher whether he likes it or not

The banter in this book is unmatched. I could say more about this book, but really, the only thing that you need to know is that the banter is perfection. Every line of dialogue elevated the humor and the tension. I’m certain I binged this whole book in less than a day.
When I woke up this morning, I became aware of two things: One, I felt hungover, and I knew I hadn’t had a drop of liquor.A nd two, I was pretty sure I had accidentally married someone.

I adored how cozy this book was. All of Hailey’s books feel like a warm hug, but this one being set in fall made it all the more homey and wonderful. I’m not usually a fan of the friends-to-lovers trope, but I loved how Hailey portrayed their relationship. I recommend reading with a warm drink in the cold months.

Follow Sadie Stanton–"poster girl for the preternatural"–as she…
I love it when a book flips the genre on its head, and this one does just that. You wouldn’t think murder mysteries and romcoms go together, but Gracie proves they do. I loved how quirky and fun this read was while still addressing hard topics. The female main character was hilarious and relatable while still being incredibly unique to the typical rom-com heroine.
