This month’s crop of new releases in romance has enough to delight any reader, whether you have sand between your toes or you’re hiding inside in the air conditioning. For Gilmore Girls fans, there’s a small town love story. If you like reality TV, you’ve got a couple of options of books set in that world, both of them food based. If, like me, you’ll read anything with Hollywood vibes, you’ll find two books on this list that’ll have you reaching for that preorder button. Following your dreams — and what happens when they don’t come true — is the theme of a few of these, too. Plus, we have shenanigans in historical fiction, some Royal romance, and that eternal question: what, exactly, is a soulmate? Need more romance in your life? Check out 8 New Romance Novels You’ll Fall in Love With in 2022 and The Next 12 Books Like the Love Hypothesis.
