We all could use a little romance in our lives. If you’re yearning for a love story for the ages that makes your heart race and your pulse rise, you’re in the right place. Here are four romance novels that deliver chemistry, and characters you’ll want to root for.
Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
Shane Hollander has built his career on discipline and a clean reputation, something he intends to protect, especially around Ilya Rozanov, the confident Russian captain of the rival Boston Bears. Their long‑standing competition on the ice has always defined them, but away from the rink, their private encounters begin to shift into something neither expected. Ilya worries that continuing down this path could jeopardize everything they’ve worked for, yet stepping back proves harder than he imagined. As their bond grows and becomes more difficult to hide, both men find themselves facing the possibility that the truth may cost them far more than they planned.
Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry
Great Big Beautiful Life centers on Alice Scott, an upbeat celebrity reporter determined to secure the life story of Margaret Ives, a glamorous, scandal‑shadowed heiress from Hollywood’s Golden Age. But when Alice arrives on Margaret’s private island in coastal Georgia, she discovers she’s not the only contender: Pulitzer‑winning, perpetually grumpy biographer Hayden Anderson is also vying for the job. Margaret, now in her eighties, pits them against each other with a one‑month trial of separate interviews, but the accounts she gives them don’t line up, and neither writer knows what she’s hiding. As Alice and Hayden juggle strict NDAs, growing attraction, and their own ambitions, they’re forced to work together to uncover the truth behind Margaret Ives and the powerful dynasty she built.
A Tropical Rebel Gets the Duke by Adriana Herrera
Aurora Montalban Wright is a physician who takes bold risks in her work but keeps her heart guarded, even while running a secret women’s clinic that puts her in danger. When the newly titled Duke of Annan, Apollo César Sinclair Robles, steps in to protect her, she reluctantly accepts, and soon ends up far closer to him than planned. Apollo, still finding his footing as a duke under society’s scrutiny, comes to rely on Aurora’s sharp mind as much as her company, though her independence and hidden past make her an unlikely match for a nobleman. When old threats resurface, he brings her to the French Riviera for safety, hoping the distance from Paris will help him prove that what they share is worth fighting for.
Poisoned Ivy by Ava Rani
This story follows Malena Amin, a student living a double, life obedient daughter at home, independent risk‑taker at her elite university, supported by a hidden phone and secret funds. When she loses her tutoring job and needs money to maintain that freedom, she sets her sights on winning a national feature‑writing contest. An invitation to a covert campus society gives her the perfect angle, but she’s caught early by Conrad Hastings, a carefree heir with a reputation and a looming deadline for the school paper. They strike a deal: she gets access to the society, and he gets help finishing his article. As they dig deeper, they uncover an unexpected art‑world mystery and a growing attraction, all while Malena’s carefully constructed lies threaten to unravel everything.
