All The New Romance Books I’m Excited To Read In 2025
There are some pretty great romance books coming in 2025, and I for one am excited to read them all. Some from my favorite authors, and some from authors who I’ve never read from before. Also in this list are books a part of series! One of my reading goals is to dive into more series—I love the idea of starting and continuing a series to binge, including visiting the characters in that series again and again.
