Recs if you like What I Did for a Duke...
clean mirror, dirty reflections
romance books with reflective surface scenes where they watch themselves or each other ๐
PSA: the โdirtyโ in the title is not intended to have a negative connotation, but instead be a play on words; this is a safe space ๐ซ
theres a mirror joke here somewhere but i cant see it โ apologies to vampires everywhere.
The 'Dirty' Book Club ๐
Tongue in cheek list inspired by the book titled above, here is a list of all the romance books I have read with my IRL book club!
Having a space that embraces the love story and all tropes/themes/sub genres has been so wonderful and is what got me back into my reading journey, so I hope this does that for you!
Books range from YA to 4๏ธโฃ๐ถ๏ธ

My All Time Favorite Historical Romances
Never read a historical romance? Choose one of these! All the balls, the inheritances, the petticoats, the rakes, and the reputations. May or may not be the first book in a series (but if it's on this list, my recommendation would be to just go ahead and read it)! Amazing writers doing incredible work building truly beautiful love stories in a world and time different from ours. All sex on the page (steaminess levels vary), all HEA (of course).
Back in Time, awesome women and romance
The back list of books so worth going back and reading. Just because they arenโt published recently doesnโt mean the book or series isnโt worth your whole summer.

โHeโs her lobster ๐โ - Phoebe Buffay
These books do a phenomenal job of going on the journey of falling completely and truly in love with someone. Not obsessed or comfortably intimate with, but the kind of love where you want the absolute best for the other person, even when it means letting them go.
These books showcase the kind of love that changes both people in the best ways, especially when they are โdummiesโ about it, as Sarah and Jen say on Fated Mates. I love when this kind of mutual character development is done well!
