Sparks fly between author Parker Navarro and literary critic Selina Chan—despite her vicious pans of his two novels. Robinson uses their juicy intellectual sparring and slow-burning enemies-to-lovers arc to probe the intersections of artistry, taste, and commerce. Her robust portrait of New York City’s publishing scene could feel a bit inside baseball, but instead provides a vibrant backdrop to this un-put-downable bookish romance.
This action-packed, hijinks-filled rom-com plays out as a madcap road trip from New York City to Las Vegas. Undertaking this rollicking journey are Krish Anand, who is impersonating an FBI agent, and con artist Sejal Chaudhary, whose ties to the Cobra crime syndicate are Krish’s best lead to locate his missing brother, an actual FBI agent. With plentiful twists, detours, and speed bumps along the way, it’s a cinematic romp.
It’s rare for a genre mash-up to get the tone just right, but debut author Thompson pulls it off, masterfully balancing rom-com and slasher tropes. As a speed dating event turns into a blood bath, readers will cheer for heroine Jamie to make it out alive—and with a new love at her side. The result is edge-of-the-seat suspenseful, laugh-out-loud funny, and dreamily romantic all at once.
Pastor’s daughter Christina sets out to heal from the religious trauma that shaped her sheltered childhood in Dean’s heartfelt new adult debut. As Christina works through a list of activities her father would never approve of—with sexy filmmaker Danny documenting her attempts—Dean brings fun, joy, and humor to the recovery process, making Christina’s newfound freedom feel as revelatory and refreshing to the reader as to the character.

Bestseller and PW Best Books frequent flier Ryan manages to outdo herself in this achingly tender tale of Hollywood, heartache, and history. After a stormy relationship that ended in disaster, a pair of exes are reunited on the set of a biopic about a fictional Harlem Renaissance artist. In Ryan’s hands, their emotional second-chance romance is as raw as it is riveting.
Listening to old casette tapes allows a long-married couple to travel back in time and make adjustments to their early courtship in this poignant, nostalgia-laced speculative romance. The authors beautifully capture the regrets, frustrations, and what-ifs that plague the leads while mining humor and heart from the butterfly effects caused by their meddling. It’s a pleasure to watch these two rediscover their passion.
