Autumn is Mother Nature’s coziest season. Everyone knows this. It’s a time for knit sweaters, ceramic mugs, and earth tones. And if you’re lucky—romance!
 
This collection spotlights upcoming books in the romance and romantasy genres—love stories from our world, imagined worlds, and various points in between. As with our Readers’ Most Anticipated Fall Books collection, each of the titles collected below is slated to publish from the end of August through to the end of December.
 
This time around, we’ve sorted the stacks by themes and tropes, using our own thoughtfully considered proprietary system. Some call it eclectic. Some call it genius. We’ve got categories for stuff like second-chance romance, palace intrigue romantasy, forbidden fruit, series installments, and a bonus section for love stories about book people—the planet’s most lovable people.
