Recs if you like A Tempest of Desire...

Every year we pick 10 books that we think rise above the rest. These are the 70 we've picked since 2019.

Updated to include our Best of 2025 picks.

Complex, often unlikeable antiheroines are some of my favorite women in historical romance. Unrepentant social climbers, gold-diggers, gossips. Strident, cold, sexually-liberated. All welcome, along with the besotted men they leave in their wake!

(comment with recs please!!)

Romance books where the leads have to survive on their own in nature
