Rom-Com Book Recommendations That’ll Make You Swoon, Giggle, and Stay Up Way Too Late
When I want to escape from reality for a while, where do I turn? Romantic Comedies. In book form, of course. I like to use my imagination to visualize the characters, the swoony moments, the drama, and all the hilariously awkward situations that rom-coms are so good at delivering.
If you’re looking to fall in love with love again—or just want a few laughs with your romance—here are some of my recent favorites:
📚 That Boy by Jillian Dodd
Let me just start by saying this is Book 1 in an 8-book series that completely sucked me in. I’m a sucker for a good romance, and this one delivers a perfect blend of comedy, drama, and “oh-my-gosh-just-kiss-already” moments. Follow JJ, Danny, and Phillip on their journey through life, love, friendship, and heartbreak. You’ll be binge-reading this one faster than you can say “love triangle.”
🔮 The Dead Guy Next Door by Lucy Score (A Riley Thorn Novel)
Riley Thorn’s life is a hot mess—and not just because she’s the lead suspect in a murder. There’s also the little issue of possibly being psychic. (It’s complicated.) When broody Private Investigator Nick Santiago shows up to investigate the crime—and maybe win Riley’s heart—you’re in for a story full of sass, suspense, and serious slow-burn chemistry.
🍻 The One Night by Meghan Quinn
Ah, the forbidden romance trope… and this one kicks off in the best possible way: a dive bar. Nora knows Cooper is off-limits (he’s her ex-husband’s best friend—yikes), but sometimes fate doesn’t care about social rules. This one is spicy, funny, and full of will-they-won’t-they tension that makes it impossible to put down.
🥃 Whiskey Chaser by Lucy Score (Bootleg Springs Series)
Yes, I’m giving you more Lucy Score. Because she’s that good. This small-town rom-com kicks off with tomboy Scarlett meeting the dreamboat next door—a recently divorced doctor who’s definitely not ready for her firecracker energy. Add in three overprotective brothers, small-town gossip, and some undeniable tension, and you’ve got a story that’s as charming as it is steamy.
Whether you’re reading on the beach, curled up on the couch, or just trying to procrastinate doing the dishes (relatable), these rom-coms will hit the sweet spot every time. Laughs, love, drama, and dreamy book boyfriends await!
Happy reading 💕
Side note: I have a Kindle Unlimited subscription, so that leads a lot of my book choices lately! It’s been worth every penny for me since I subscribed in 2018.
