Top Ten Tuesday: 10 of My Favorite Contemporary Romance Novels

This week’s TTT is a Valentine's Day / Love Freebie. I've already done my Top 10 Favorite YA Couples before so I thought I'd go with favorite contemporary romance novels this time. I'll confess... I don't read a lot of contemporary romance. I need it to be high on the sexy factor and low on the cheesy dialogue factor. In fact... as long as we're being honest here... I don't do Valentine's Day. I prefer to spend the day watching horror movies. 🤷 But there are a few sexy reads I absolutely love... so here goes.. 

1. Play by Kylie Scott

I'm a huge fan of Kylie Scott but Mal is forever my favorite book boyfriend. He's hot, funny, and just overall the best. 

2. Gentleman Nine by Penelope Ward

Gentleman Nine was the first audiobook I listened to and enjoyed. It was also my first Penelope Ward book and made her an auto-buy author for me.

3. Bad Boy Brody by Tijan

The Tijan books I've read can rip your heart out and then put it back together. As you may tell from my choices here, I love romance novels that involve actors or rock stars but Bad Boy Brody is a seriously amazing book.

4. Rock King by Tara Leigh

I took this one on as a review book and loved it. There are other books in the series but this one is the best.

5. Off Limits by Penny Dee

I'm not a huge fan of big age-gaps in romance but this book made me fall in love with MC books!

6. Making Up by Helena Hunting

This was my first Helena Hunting book, I haven't read the other standalone in the series but like all of HH's other books this one made me laugh.

7. Nash by Jay Crownover

I like most of the other Marked Men books (not crazy about Rowdy I'll admit) but Nash was the first one I read (yes... I read out of order A LOT) and will always be my favorite. It's one of the few books I finished then turned the book over and started reading again from the beginning.

8. Devoured by Emily Snow

This book I think is a big underrated. It's more erotic romance than anything and I know a lot of people didn't like it but it's still one of my favorites. 

9. Bad For You by Abbi Glines

I'm sitting here trying to pick my favorite Abbi Glines book... I love so many of them. So let's just put number nine as a blanket Abbi Glines appreciation pick.

10. Queen of Babble Gets Hitched by Meg Cabot

I love this trilogy overall, but I read this one first not realizing it was part of a series and found it so hilarious. I've reread it a bunch of times.

50/50 Friday: Favorite/Least Favorite Romance of 2019

50/50 Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader.

What is 50/50 Friday?

Everyone has a favorite and then we also have something we dislike. Like a coin, there are two sides to every question. Example: best sequel you've read/worst sequel you've read. So that's what 50/50 Friday is all about. Carrie posts a new topic every Friday so be sure to check out her post to see the topic for the following week!

Topic for the Week

Best/Worst Romance of 2019

I don’t read a ton of books that are just romance with some other genre (thriller, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.) mixes in but when I do I’m really picky...

Best

Repeat by Kylie Scott

I have a soft spot for male leads who are tattoo artists and second chance romance plus I love this author.

Worst

Sick Kids In Love

So this book still got three stars from me but I didn’t care much for the main character which made me not care about the romance. 

Next Week’s Theme: 

Favorite / Least Favorite Paranormal of 2019
