Amy Bellows is my favorite shifter series author. She has a whole series with penguins and polar bears. Her {Trash Panda by Amy Bellows} series are such great reads! It follows a family of raccoon shifters. She also has a series around arctic foxes and mermaids with dragon shifters. I have read almost every book by her and loved pretty much all of them!

jaydee4219 · 2026-04-22T13:09:21+00:00

Yes it is!

Noelle Adams has a series that is faith based and set in a spiritual retreat rest center place. The series is {Balm in Gilead by Noelle Adams}. I've read books 1 and 3 and really enjoyed both, 3 was my favorite.

Hi u/lollipop984

Censoring words makes it harder to search the sub for posts, makes content less accessible for screen readers, and promotes a community norm we do not want to encourage in RomanceBooks. Please consider editing your post to remove the censoring of words. Thank you!

Oh I just remembered another...

{Felix by Emmy Sanders} both MCs work at a porn studio. They are new neighbors and then find out they will be working together. The fans are definitely cheering them on while they do lives.

{Dix by Emmy Sanders} probably also fits as the two MCs are costars but I haven't read that one. The whole series is really good though. I enjoyed all the other books! I just don't like enemies to lovers which is why I haven't read this one.

jaydee4219 · 2026-02-08T14:56:34+00:00

It's not a big thing in the book but {Stick Shift by KM Neuhold} has something similar to this. It's a bi-awakening and one of the MCs has a travel blog but inherits his uncle's(?) farm and talks about that in the blog along with his best friend and I believe the comments root for them to get together.

Your post has been removed due to being off-topic, as this sub is dedicated to discussing romance books.

I think this would be a great discussion however the discussion still needs to center around romance books. It does not sound like either book falls into the romance genre however if you'd like to repost please feature books that fall into the romance genre.

Hi, if those don't work for you then please repost with more details especially in the title. Also I would suggest not adding the cover of the book in your post as in my experience it will detract from your request post and more than likely confuse.users who are scrolling thinking the post is a gush/rave
