Recs if you like Heaven, Texas...

Love it or hate it, some of the best loved books of the genre go all in on hero (because let’s face it, it’s almost always the hero) on his knees…and we are here. for. it.

Romances with ticking clocks and clear time frames, about how this impacts conflict and makes books more breathless, and of course about the books that deploy this strategy perfectly. Inside, you'll find road trips and adventures, vacation romances and romantic suspense, house parties and that classic romance chestnut: "I have 30 days to get pregnant."

We devoted an episode to these lovable dummies back in season six. These are our picks.

Problematic? Absolutely. Let's read them all!

Sports romance recs from across our three sports romance episodes, with guests including authors Jenny Nordbak and Farrah Rochon and sports journalist Jessica Luther.
