Well... ME!
So in honor of Valentine’s Day, here is a list of books that have many, many excellent qualities, but are seriously worth reading for the romance alone. Squee and enjoy!
The Clearing, by Heather DavisTime-travel romance! Modern-day girl falls for a 1940s guy, and his old-fashioned speech patterns are downright swoon-worthy. Also, his mother bakes biscuits. This book made me swoony AND hungry.
Forgive My Fins, by Tera Lynn ChildsDespite herself, a half-human, half-mermaid finds herself falling for a total bad boy with a heart of gold when they become inadvertently bound together by mermaid law. Yes!
Graceling, by Kristin CashoreOh, the banter- the witty, charming, adorable banter! I could read Katsa and Po dialogue forever and not tire of it.
The Mediator series, by Meg CabotHe’s a hot cowboy ghost, and he haunts her bedroom. He calls her “querida.” Commence the swooning!
The Goose Girl, by Shannon HaleThe romantic leads in this lyrical fairytale retelling are both hiding their identities and are so obviously MFEO.
T
he Mortal Instruments series, by Cassandra ClareForbidden romance in the most forbidden way possible. But you know it’ll work out somehow- it HAS to!
I LOVED The Clearing--great recommendation!
ReplyDeleteOh yay, I'm glad you enjoyed that one! It was one of my favorite reads of the last year. There is not enough time travel romance in YA!
ReplyDeleteOne just came out last month--Timeless by Alexandra Monir. I picked up an ARC at ALA--it looks really good!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I will keep an eye out for that- thanks for letting me know!
