Good news, romance and romantasy fans. This summer? It’s going to be goooooood.
As part of our annual Summer Reading extravaganza, we’ve sorted out 99 highly anticipated romance and romantasy novels coming between May and the end of August, according to your fellow Goodreads members. As you shall see, there’s a ton of good stuff on the summery horizon. We’ve sorted the books below by month, according to each title’s U.S. release date.
Some starting points for clicking around, in no particular order: A streetwise urchin meets a good-hearted swindler in Joanna Shupe’s historical romance The Gilded Heiress. Old college sweethearts stumble into an odd second chance in Mia Sosa’s contemporary rom-com When Javi Dumped Mari. And a deathly ill assassin falls for a morally upright healer in Brigitte Knightley’s romantasy The Irresistible Urge to Fall for Your Enemy.
Also in the Book People Make the Best Detectives column: Earlier this spring, readers on social media sleuthed out a surprise, previously unannounced new Ali Hazelwood book publishing in May. Theories abounded, tea leaves were read, and lo, the people rejoiced when Hazelwood finally revealed the book's cover on her Instagram a month before the book's release.
