It's a truth universally known that hot girls read books and hotter girls read romances. Why? Because romance books help women understand their emotional and sexual needs in a safe place without real-world consequences. Reading in general also promotes empathy and emotional intelligence, helping us create stronger relationship bonds. All good things, Baddies! So, what are we reading this summer?

Our team is gravitating towards romances with the ultimate summer vibes: sunshine, carefree energy, balmy + breezy weather, and love stories that scorch hotter than the summer heat!

When Sparks Fly by Monica Murphy — a vacation by the lake, an heiress hiding from reality, and a sexy + grumpy fire captain creates the perfect recipe for a delicious summer romance.

The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce — summer is wedding season, so we had to include a rec set in Napa Valley where former exes and current best man + woman are forced together to pull off their mutual best friend's dream wedding.

Love Song by Elle Kennedy — feeling a hangover post season one of Off Campus? 😭 Us too! The best remedy? An Off Campus standalone spinoff featuring sunny Lake Tahoe and a second-chance romance.
