Save a shirtless, bare-chested man! Each one is in dire need of a shirt! 👕 Those covers of romance novels are not very warm, although under the covers, it could be hot. Steaming, in fact. Maybe even scorching. 🥵❤️‍🔥

(Other editions exist where the book cover has a shirtless man, but this list only includes those shirtless on PB. ) Enjoy! 😉

Books that have actual numbers numbers in the title (7 instead of seven)

Open to recs 🙌🏼

The heartbreak. The longing. The emotional punches I was not prepared for. These books didn’t just make me tear up; they stayed with me, lingering in that quiet space after the final chapter. Soft souls, proceed carefully.

If you wanna cry, scream and throw up. You’re in the right place.

so he’s hot AND wears a jersey???

screaming crying throwing up level tears

romance novels with healthy relationships, without any drama or misunderstandings between the characters (or the drama has a good reason and is resolved organically.)

but here there CAN be character sadness, traumatic experiences, and so on. It's just that in these books the characters try to survive all the problems together.

contains clean and NOT clean books

.

My personal fav books. All have little or no spice BTW.

Books to make you cry your heart out and still rate 5 stars. (Some are part of a series btw)
