These barely scratch the surface, so definitely check out our Best Romance Books of the Month for more wonderful romance reads, as well as our Best Books of the Month across all genres.
I would not bet against Lennix Hunter. This story starts at Lennix’s Sunrise Dance—a Yavapai-Apache Nation ceremony representing a girl’s transition to womanhood. From the start, you can sense the power coming off this young woman. Readers learn about Lennix’s innocent beginnings—as she grows, she experiences loss that serves as motivation for her inevitable greatness. Woven into this coming-of-age tale is a deep love story between Maxim and Lennix. The energy between the two can light a forest fire—this is a spicy romance that will make the boldest romance readers blush. The love, lust, and desire will keep you on the edge of your seat. And once you finish this one, you will not be able to wait to grab a copy of the second book in the series, The Rebel King. —Kami Tei, Amazon Editor
Strong business women need love too. In this second-chance romance, high school sweethearts Violet and Xavier bump into each other after no contact for nine years. Violet is a successful stylist to the stars, while Xavier is a high school teacher in their hometown. Their last encounter didn’t go well, so needless to say, there are lots of feelings. Then a chance meeting turns into a wild night at a Vegas night club—ending with events they barely remember. Since the two live in different cities with completely different lives, both believe the chances of meeting again are low, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Two weeks later, a series of events bring them back together. Past mistakes, shattered dreams, and the consequences of lies and stories never told start to make up the fabric of their tattered past. They were once so close—can their separate paths lead them back to each other? This story is for tenderhearted believers in love. —Kami Tei, Amazon Editor

I’ve never read a love story like Jack and Raine’s, and I cherished every minute. Raine is a musician with ADHD traveling Europe as a busker until an unfortunate theft leaves her stranded at The Local in Cobh, Ireland. Enter Jack, charming Irishman and owner of the bar. Their chemistry is instant, but Jack has a different idea—hire Raine to bring life back into his bar. The only problem is Jack’s OCD makes change a struggle. Raine and Jack’s endless compassion for one another challenges them to think beyond the limitations they’ve put on themselves in both life and love. This tender, sexy, witty romance was a breath of fresh air, and I was rooting for Jack and Raine from the first page to the last. There was also a fantastic supporting cast of characters, including an enigmatic cat (is there any other kind?) named Sebastian. —Abby Abell, Amazon Editor
