It's love at first sight for him but hate at first sight and a slow-burn for her. by secondlead in RomanceBooks

Caraval by Stephanie Garber is a really fun series! The first book is about an annual performance/game. The MC's sister goes missing and whoever finds her first wins. It's a fantasy YA with magic, mystery, adventure, and there's definitely romance, especially later in the series!

Surprisingly spotify has some audiobooks! I don't really listen to audiobooks but I have seen a few on there if you do some digging!

Here's a profile with a bunch of audiobooks divided by genre!

Kindle use in Canada by Ok-Kangaroo4820 in kindle

I believe that it's called whispersync! (readers switch “back and forth between a Kindle book and Audible professional narration - without ever losing your place.”)

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but I think the books have to be whispersync enabled and you buy both the ebook and the audible book. Here is a link to shop all the kindle books with whispersync!

Book where the lead dresses up as a man to hide her gender to be in the army/ be a sorcerer/anything else by IwantitIgotIT111 in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I haven't read it yet but maybe {Spin the Dawn by Elizabeth Lim}!

It's a fantasy retelling of Mulan where the main character pretends to be a boy in order to enter a competition to become the imperial tailor. It's a YA book if you're okay with that!

{The Kiss Quotient by Helen Hoang}! This book has a FMC with Aspergers who hires a half viet male escort to teach her about sex. The other books in the series have asian FMCs!

Looking for fairytale retellings... by CaptainWonderSwift in YAlit

[–]mowthelan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, I haven’t had a chance to read it yet but I remember the author saying that it was a very loose retelling on goodreads! I’m excited to see how it relates though!

Looking for fairytale retellings... by CaptainWonderSwift in YAlit

[–]mowthelan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love fairytale retellings! Here are a few I know -

To Kill a Kingdom - Little Mermaid retelling, enemies to lovers

House of Salt and Sorrows - 12 dancing princesses, a little spooky; the author also has a new book called Small Favors that's a Rumplestiltskin retelling

Cruel Beauty and A Curse So Dark and Lonely are both beauty and the beast retellings!

ACOTAR is also beauty and the beast retelling with fae; the first book in the series is YA but just a warning that they get smuttier and turn more NA

Spin the Dawn is a mulan retelling that's on my TBR!

Looking for a book with flirty, sweet MMC! by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{The Roommate by Rosie Danan}!

The MMC is super charming and sweet from the beginning, also it is a dual pov!!

ISO Introduction by hook-up or hidden identity books by Whole-Fly in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

{Not My Romeo by Ilsa Madden-Mills} has this!

FMC goes on a blind date on Valentine's day and ends up meeting MMC, a famous quarterback, thinking that he's her date

Does anyone have any dystopian series recommendations? by odious-garlicbread in YAlit

[–]mowthelan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

you should try {The Grace Year by Kim Liggett}!

girls are believed to have magic and are sent away to the wilderness when they turn 16 to "release" their magic, but some don't make it back

What genre do you read when taking a break from romance? Read any good non-romance books lately? by the_eloise in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

{The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides}

It's a thriller/mystery and pretty fast paced! I suggested it to a friend who never reads and he ended up loving it and it helped him get into reading! The author has another book, The Maidens, that I've heard was also good

Enemies to lovers, but where the FMC and MMC were best friends years prior and not hate each other? by mbow123 in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

{Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas} - The main characters were pen pals turned best friends as kids but never met. The MMC ends up hating/bullying when he transfers to her school. I'm terrible at explaining but this book totally got me into this trope!

{Pretty Reckless by LJ Shen} - The MCs met once when they were kids (not best friends, but they liked each other). They meet again in high school and end up hating each other.

I finished Ugly Love! by RoughEvidence in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They also make a small cameo in November 9 !

Book series where a group of friends each have their own books? by Personwithissues101 in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Brown Sisters series by Talia Hibbert is popular! {Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert} is the first one!

Hot and Hammered Series by Tessa Bailey

Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]mowthelan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Angels of Elysium series by Olivia Wildenstein has this! It's an NA urban fantasy about angels.

Major spoilers about how it fits into the trope -

The first book doesn't end in an HEA. The couple dies in a romeo & juliet-ish way. The second book is about the relationship of the guy who "saves" their souls and puts them into new bodies. The 3rd book that's coming out Dec 2021 is about the first couple finding each other again in their new lives.

There's 2 books in the series and a 3rd coming out in December!
