I’m a voracious reader and always looking for my next favorite book. Here are 7 new books that get 5 stars from me. If you’re looking for some amazing reads to add to your to-be-read pile, look no further.

Romance Novels I’ve Been Reading and Loving Lately

Romance is by far the genre I read the most. In my opinion, part of being a writer is reading books by other authors who are miles ahead of me in this journey. My craft improves as I learn from the best. And let’s be honest, it doesn’t feel like work at all to read a 5-star romance novel. Here are a few that I’ve been reading and loving:

Depending on the Cowboy by Jill Kemerer

The Sweetheart List by Jill Shalvis

Jonas by Susan May Warren (the audio version narrated by Adam Gold is fantastic!)

5-star Women’s Fiction Novels

I’ve been on a bit of a dual timeline kick lately, and I’m always in the mood for exceptionally well-written stories featuring strong female protagonists. Here are 4 recent releases that I’ve enjoyed and will keep recommending:

The Words We Lost by Nicole Deese

The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley by Courtney Walsh

The Cuban Heiress by Chanel Cleeton

The Daydreams by Laura Hankin
