Recs if you like Unbound...

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

books where the man has so much patience it'll make you question your self control

Until someone gives us a full-on sports romance quest, I’m starting my own hockey romance league. 🏒 Some of these books are heavy on the ice time, others barely drop the puck—but I’m a completionist. Gotta collect ’em all (because who wouldn’t want the whole team)? 😉

Romance books featuring meaningful mental health and neurodivergent representation, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, and more. Because every kind of mind deserves butterflies and a happily ever after.

It’s time to fill those TBR piles again! April means the start of Spring and also another quarterly upcoming romance episode! We’re talking about romances hitting shelves and ereaders during April, May & June 2026! Whether historical, paranormal, contemporary or Romantasy, we’ve got something for everyone in fifty or so recs across every single genre. As a reminder, we haven’t read most of these, but we have big plans!

2026 Romance Releases

I am a sucker for romances told through love letters. There’s just something about characters spilling their hearts onto paper that feels a thousand times more romantic than anything they could ever say out loud. It’s the exact reason Ex Vows owned my whole heart last year, and I’ve realized that whenever a book brings out this trope again, it clings to me in the best, most unforgettable way.

These men are so down bad, they’ll even wash the fmc’s hair with so much care and tenderness!🥹

The crown for this category goes to Bennett Reiner from Unbound by Peyton Corinne!
