a Valentine’s date with a book

Valentine’s day is coming up and since I love every occasion to celebrate LOVE, here are some book recommendations that fit the theme:

Welcome to a Date with a Book

Enemies to lovers

Just as Bad Bunny stated during his Halftime show:

The only thing more powerful than hate is LOVE

Thus, here are some book recommendations that brought together couples who loved to loathe one another until they didn’t. Some books contain explicit contents and vary in spice levels. Please check the blurbs and potential trigger warnings before reading any of these stories.

  • Duel with the Vampire Lord by Elise Kova
    (a standalone book from the series Married to Magic)

  • Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli
    (Book one of The Crimson Moth series)

  • King of Wrath by Ana Huang
    (standalone book of the Kings of Sin series)

  • Not in Love by Ali Hazelwood

Prepare yourself to cry

Sometimes, a good cry i s all you need. These books will leave your heart feeling tender and have you stare at a wall after finishing the book.

You have been warned :)

For the naughty ones

Welcome to the adult section and today’s selection for those who prefer to have their books with some extra spice. Who am I to judge? I have read these books myself! Anyhow, some of the books would be best described as spice > plot.
