4. It Happened One Summer—— By Tessa Bailey
Stars: ๐๐๐
Piper is a character who has everything: beauty, wealth, and fame. She is the daughter of a famous rock star and a model, and she has been living the high life in LA.
However, when her sister sends her a video of their father getting married, Piper realizes that she needs to reconcile with him before it’s too late. She decides to spend the summer with him in Westport, despite her reservations about the small town life.
5. Behind the Net——By Stephanie Archer
Stars: ๐๐๐๐
Pippa, a sunbeam in muddy boots, collides with Jamie—a brooding, burdened caretaker nursing grudges and a golden retriever who adored them both.
Her relentless optimism chips at his fortress of responsibilities, sparking friction (and scorching bedroom detours). Yet beneath Jamie’s growls lies a marshmallow heart, melting into desperate dependence.

6. The Love of My Afterlife——By Kirsty Greenwood
Delphie’s afterlife kicks off with the ultimate humiliation: choking on a bargain-bin burger only to haunt eternity in a sequined nightgown, face-to-face with an afterlife agent so unfairly hot it should be illegal.
Their cosmic flirtation shatters when heaven’s intern crashes the party, revoking her meet-cute privileges. But when offered a do-over to chase smoldering chemistry and closure, this ghost-on-a-mission dives into London’s chaos armed with sass, spectral mishaps, and reluctant ghost-whisperer allies.
7. Haunted Ever After——By Jen DeLuca
Stars: ๐๐๐๐
Cassie moves to a haunted town in Florida and buys an old cottage with a mysterious past.
As she gets closer to Nick, the local coffee shop owner, they work together to uncover the cottage’s secrets, while navigating their growing feelings for each other.

Stars: ๐๐๐๐
When two neighbors with adjacent apartments find themselves trapped with no way down due to a construction error, both Seth and Charlotte try to make the most of the weekend.
To both of their surprise, though, they find they have more in common than they first thought. They also find out very quickly that they could fall head over heels with one another with disastrous consequences.
9. The Graham Effect——By Elle Kennedy
Stars: ๐๐๐๐๐
Gigi Graham’s Olympic ambitions hinge on two cursed variables: mastering defensive plays and surviving Luke Ryder—her father’s hockey protégé, a granite-jawed menace with a talent for insults and igniting her pulse.
Their truce is glacial: she’ll lobby her Hall-of-Fame dad for his coaching gig; he’ll transform her weakest skills into weapons.
Trusting him could forge her legacy… or melt the thin ice shielding their clashing hearts.

10. Bride——by Ali Hazelwood
Stars: ๐๐๐๐๐
Bride is an impressive transition into the paranormal romance subgenre.
With dynamic characters, a suspenseful mystery, and a unique spin on traditional supernatural beings, the story pulls you into a world where Vampires are born, not made, and many of the shifter and vamp folklore is debunked.
It’s a fascinating world where Weres, Vampires, and humans semi-coexist, though none of the groups truly trust each other. Political turmoil instigates the action, as Misery, the protagonist, is commanded to marry a Were Alpha.
