The Hottest New Romances for Summer
A New Orleans bachelorette party leads to a Seattle love quest. A drunken restroom pep talk inspires gym-rat romance. A shaadi saboteur triggers a foodie love story of Shakespearean proportions.
These are just some of the romantic adventures on tap in this year’s Big Summer Romance collection. As always, these selections are determined by Goodreads members who have added the books to their Want to Read shelf and/or submitted positive reviews as early readers. All titles are scheduled to be published between the start of May and the end of August.
We’ve organized this year’s list into handy subgenres for those who have specific reading habits: contemporary, historical, and fantasy/paranormal romance. Summer is prime reading time for this category, so you’ll spot plenty of familiar names dropping new books, including Tessa Bailey, Ali Hazelwood, and Christina Lauren.
Scroll over the book cover images below for more details, and don’t forget to feed your Want to Read shelf.

New installments of my fav series coming out, couldn't wait more.
I cant wait to read Kay Cove's new standalone called Camera Shy! It comes out July 27th.
im shocked that beach read by emily henry isnt there or any of her books. they are all about small town romances during the summer, highly recommend!
Almost all have been added to my TBR. So many books so little time!!
Looking forward to Flirting with Fire by Jane Porter
Can't wait to read all the historical romances. Especially An Island Princess Starts A Scandal. Read Adriana Herrera's first books on the series. Really loved it. So I am sure this second book is just as great.
Where Ivy Dares To Grow looks exciting. I love gothic horror books.
I do not get these “modern romance” books. They do not appeal to me at all. I prefer The English Patient.
So where are the LGBTI books this Pride month?
