In the Summer Readings 2022 series, my aim is to inspire all the book lovers to keep reading also in summer when it’s easy to get tempted by the beach, cocktails, hiking, and awesomeness of the warm weather. But don’t forget the books! Books are always your friends.
If you haven’t already started your summer readings or you’re feeling like you’re in a reading slump, here’s a small list of ten recommendations for the best romance books to read.
If you are not really into romance books, you can instead check out the post about 10 Mystery and Thriller Books to Read this Summer, or if you want to have a generic idea of the best books to read in summer go read the main post 24 Books to add to your Summer 2022 Reading List.
In this romance books selection, there are a couple of books that are already on my reading list, like I Love You So Mochi and Red, White, and Royal Blue. This last one is a book that everyone is talking about and I’m so excited to read it! Also, I think I’ll get in the Geekerella series, just to add some light readings to my list, and will probably read The Princess and the Fangirl too.
If you also love going on vacation and taking with you a nice romance book to read on the beach, then you should definitely check these out!
Let me know what you think of this selection. I love reading and I couldn’t stop talking about books and recommending what’s hot in the season, I hope you’ll enjoy it too.
Have fun and always, always, always keep reading!
