(Click on title to read full review)
Historical romance
A Perfect Equation (The Secret Scientists of London #2) by Elizabeth Everett – One of the best historical romances I read so far and this being STEMinist makes it even more amazing. Let’s not forget it’s in the era of balls and gowns and the beginning of suffrage. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
The Siren of Sussex (Belles of London #1) by Mimi Matthews – Another amazing regency romance with slow burn, interracial, and cross-class romance. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
The Belle of Belgrave Square (Belles of London #2) by Mimi Matthews – heartwarming, refreshing, and romantic regency romance with the marriage of convenience arc. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Second Chance Romance
A Secret at Tansy Falls (Tansy Falls #2) by Cate Woods – Not my most favorite in this duology but this is heartwarming and relatable women’s fiction Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune – emotive and heartwarming contemporary romance about first love, relationship, and second chance. It’s very realistic, relatable, and nostalgic. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Workplace Romance
Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon – hearwarming and adorable romance with mental health representation and the layer of parenting and sexism and misogyny. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
A Dash of Salt and Pepper by Kosoko Jackson – heartwarming, lovely, foodie, and enjoyable M/M romance with small town vs big city moot at the center of it. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Romance with touch of paranormal/magical realism (Also low on spice)
Some of It Was Real by Nan Fische – touching and emotive contemporary about Psychics with layers, family drama, and mystery. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
The Kindred Spirits Supper Club by Amy E. Reichert – hearwarming and adorable romance in which main character can see ghosts. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
The Magic of Lemon Drop Pie by Rachel Linden – meaningful, touching, emotive, and bittersweet contemporary with touch of magical realism. I loved the concept of three chances here. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk

Contemporary Romance
If You Ask Me by Libby Hubscher – This is more contemporary than romance and I absolutely enjoyed all the drama Violet created and also her advice column. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
For the Love of the Bard – entertaining and nerdy contemporary romance. It is also second chance romance but I would like to place it here as there is an amazing Shakespearean town with many literary references and plays. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Love, Lists, and Fancy Ships (Love, Lists & Fancy Ships #1) by Sarah Grunder Ruiz – a refreshing, fun, commendable debut novel with equal parts of family, friendship, romance, entertainment, and sentiments. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
The Beach Trap by Ali Brady – entertaining, lovely, and a wonderful summery beach read with so many emotions, layers, and Parent Trap vibe. I loved friendship and sisterhood theme in this. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Ten Years by Pernille Hughes – heartwarming, touching and emotive contemporary romance about loss, grief, and struggle of small actors. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Romcom (Also average to high Spice)
Set on You (The Influencer #1) by Amy Lea – fun and inspiring romcom about body positivity, self-acceptance, body respect, and self-love. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
It Happened One Summer (Bellinger Sisters #1) by Tessa Bailey – amazing, entertaining, and swoon-worthy small-town romance. I loved character growth the most. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
Donut Fall in Love (Donut Fall in Love #1) by Jackie Lau – fluffy, swoony, foodie, and heartwarming romance with celebrity falling for normal person trope. Goodreads | Amazon.in | Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk

There are so many subgenres in romance. I have read many of these, but not all. I have some on my TBR as well. Lots of great choices here, Yesha.

Thank you Carla! I totally agree and I haven’t included all the tropes here either. When I started reading I didn’t know romance is such vast genre.

Thank you, Virginia! I still haven’t added tropes as it could be repetitive if I added tropes in the same post. So maybe another post for tropes some day.
