Recs if you like Fragile Hopes...

Romance books to read for the aesthetic (usually cartoon covers because I’m trash for character art)

howdy, neighbour 👋 this type of forced proximity hits different when you physically cant escape the person next door.

apartment neighbours: sharing a wall and they can hear 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇𝓎𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 🏢

house neighbours: seeing them when you walk outside or catching a sneak peak through your window 🏠

time to decide if you’re ready to give your spare key to the hottie next door 🔑

Covers by the amazing artist Myriam Strasbourg all gathered in one place!

There are a lot of special editions as well, but I didn’t include those.

Romance books with characters and a romance that feels mature. There is no or very low drama in the romance itself. It's often a slowburn, sometimes medium burn and feels very natural. The characters are either emotionally aware, possess a decent level of emotional intelligence, or are actively trying to communicate even if it's hard. Aside from the romance there is ample time for the characters to have growth on their own.

Keywords; Mature, slow/med burn, no drama, steady, emotional security.

Firefighter Romances Suggestions welcome! :)

A list of books that have no third-act breakup, because sometimes we need some communication and some healthy giggling. I'll be keeping them here whenever I stumble upon one 💕

romance releases i’m looking forward to

Whether you crave forbidden flames, second chances, or the irresistible charm of a man in uniform, these books will have you swooning, sighing, and maybe reaching for a glass of water.

And no I can’t explain most of these lol
