5 Romance Reads to Fall in Love With This Valentine's Day
Grab your tea, pull on your fuzzy socks, and settle in.
Look, I don't care if you're spending February 14th with the love of your life, your cat, or a family-sized block of chocolate (no judgement, that was me last year). What I do care about is making sure you've got the perfect book boyfriend — or three — lined up for the occasion.
So here are my top five picks from across my catalogue, whether you're in the mood for small-town swooning, bikers with hearts of gold, or literal wolf shifters claiming their fated mates. Something for every kind of romance reader. You're welcome.
1. Thunder Thighs
For the reader who wants: A body-worshipping Viking of a man and a heroine who refuses to shrink herself.
Ella Larsson has thunder thighs, a filthy mouth, and a bar to run. She doesn't have time for love — until a towering, tattooed Norseman walks into her life and decides she's the most magnificent thing he's ever seen. No convincing required. No makeover montage. Just a man who falls hard and fast for a woman exactly as she is.
If you want a Valentine's Day read that makes you feel like the absolute goddess you are? Start here.
Tropes: Instalove · He falls first · Body worship · Possessive hero · Small-town romance
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
2. Feral Fates
For the reader who wants: Fated mates, fangs, and a whole lot of mine.
Valentine's Day isn't just for humans, okay? If your ideal date involves a growly alpha wolf shifter who would literally tear the world apart for his mate, then Feral Fates is your book. It's dark, it's primal, it's the kind of love story that grabs you by the throat (affectionately) and doesn't let go.
Fated mates romance at its most intense. Perfect for reading by candlelight while pretending you're in a dark forest and not, in fact, on your couch.
Tropes: Fated mates · Alpha hero · Paranormal shifter romance · Instalove
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
3. Knot My Type
For the reader who wants: Inclusive, boundary-pushing romance with all the heat.
Knot My Type is the book I wrote because I was tired of waiting for someone else to write it. A wheelchair-using heroine, a hero who's completely obsessed with her, rope play, and a love story that treats disability as part of life — not the plot. It's spicy, it's funny, it's the kind of romance that makes you feel seen.
This is the Valentine's Day read for everyone who's ever wanted to be the main character. Because you are.
Tropes: Disability representation · Instalove · He falls first · Friends-to-lovers-adjacent
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
4. Heart of Stone
For the reader who wants: A protective biker hero who'd burn the world down for his woman.
There's something about a motorcycle club romance on Valentine's Day that just hits different. Maybe it's the leather. Maybe it's the loyalty. Maybe it's the hero who looks terrifying to everyone else but melts into an absolute puddle for his plus-size heroine.
Heart of Stone kicks off the Stoneheart MC series, co-written with Megan Wade, and it's the perfect entry point if you want your Valentine's Day reading a little grittier, a little darker, and a whole lot more intense.
Tropes: MC romance · Protector hero · Curvy heroine · Instant family · Grumpy/sunshine
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
5. The Shake Up
For the reader who wants: Small-town charm, laugh-out-loud banter, and the cosiest romance vibes.
If your Valentine's Day fantasy involves a quirky small town where everyone's in your business, a hero who brings you coffee and fixes your problems, and the kind of community that wraps around you like a warm blanket — welcome to Capricorn Cove.
The Shake Up is the first book in my longest-running series (ten books and counting!), so if you fall in love with this world — and you will — there's plenty more where that came from. Consider it the gift that keeps on giving.
Tropes: Small-town romance · Grumpy/sunshine · Forced proximity · Found family
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
