It's no a secret that I'm head over heels in love with Hazelwood's romance novels. She took the world by storm when her debut novel, The Love Hypothesis, came out. Now, she's published her sophomore novel, Love on the Brain, which is just as enthralling and swoony as the first one. Hazelwood creates wonderful stories featuring women in STEM falling in love, and I'm charmed by all of them. Love on the Brain tells the story of Dr. Bree, who suddenly lands her dream job working alongside engineers at NASA to create a helmet for astronauts. But sometimes good news goes hand in hand with bad news, and unfortunately for her, she has to work with her college nemesis, Levi.
BK Borison's novels are filled with sunshine, love, and lots of sweet moments. The Lovelight series easily can become a comfort series for many, and it definitely became one for me. Lovelight Farms is the first of four books set in small-town Inglewild where love appears in unexpected ways. In the case of this one, we meet Stella Bloom and her crumbling Christmas tree farm. In order to save it, Stella signs up for a contest created by social media influencer Evelyn St. James. If she wins the cash prize, she can quickly save her home and business. But to make her farm appear as a romantic destination, she claims that she owns the farm with her boyfriend. And she does not have a boyfriend. Enter best friend Luka Peters!
I had to include a Jodie Slaughter book on this list. Whenever she releases a new book, I cannot help but love it. I've read almost all of her books, and each day my love for her stories and writing continues to grow. Bet on It is a steamy rom-com about two characters who make a bingo-based sex pact in order to prevent themselves from falling in love. Oh, yeah, you heard right. Aja and Walter know that they can't be together because Walter won't be staying in town. When his grandmother gets better, he's out of there. So they decide to create this bingo-based sex pact in order to keep things simple and free of commitment. As you can probably imagine, it doesn't quite work out.

A romance novel or romantic novel generally refers to a type of genre fiction novel which places its primary focus on the relationship and romantic love between two people, and usually has an "emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending." Precursors include authors of literary fiction, such as Samuel Richardson, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Brontë.
There are many subgenres of the romance novel, including fantasy, gothic, contemporary, historical romance, paranormal fiction, and science fiction. Although women are the main readers of romance novels a growing number of men enjoy them as well. The Romance Writers of America cite 16% of men read romance novels.[1] "Many people today don't realize that romance is more than a love story. Romance can be a complex plotline with a setting from the past in a remote, faraway place. Instead of focusing on a love story, it idealizes values and principles that seem lost in today's world of technology and instant gratification. However, romance may also be a typical, romantic, love story that makes people sigh with wishful thinking".[2] "Romance is a natural human emotion. Sad love songs and poems when one is recovering from a broken heart can help express unspoken feelings. Happy romantic movies and plays help people feel optimistic that someday they will also find true love. However, there is some criticism that many modern romantic stories make people develop unrealistic views about real relationships, as they expect love to be like it is in the movies".[2]
According to the Romance Writers of America, the main plot of a mass-market romance novel must revolve about the two people as they develop romantic love for each other and work to build a relationship. Both the conflict and the climax of the novel should be directly related to that core theme of developing a romantic relationship, although the novel can also contain subplots that do not specifically relate to the main characters' romantic love. Furthermore, a romance novel must have an "emotionally satisfying and optimistic ending."
Others, including Leslie Gelbman, a president of Berkley Books, define the genre more simply, stating only that a romance must make the "romantic relationship between the hero and the heroine ... the core of the book."[14] In general, romance novels reward characters who are good people and penalize those who are evil, and a couple who fights for and believes in their relationship will likely be rewarded with unconditional love.[1] Bestselling author Nora Roberts sums up the genre, saying: "The books are about the celebration of falling in love and emotion and commitment, and all of those things we really want."[15] Women's fiction (including "chick lit") is not directly a subcategory of the romance novel genre, because in women's fiction the heroine's relationship with her family or friends may be as important as her relationship with the hero.[14]
There is a lot of controversy among romance authors about what should and should not be included in plots of romance novels. Some romance novel authors and readers believe the genre has additional restrictions, from plot considerations (such as the protagonists' meeting early on in the story), to avoiding themes (such as adultery). Other disagreements have centered on the firm requirement for a happy ending; some readers admit stories without a happy ending, if the focus of the story is on the romantic love between the two main characters (e.g., Romeo and Juliet). While the majority of romance novels meet the stricter criteria, there are also many books widely considered to be romance novels that deviate from these rules. The Romance Writers of America's definition of romance novels includes only the focus on a developing romantic relationship and an optimistic ending.[16][17] Escapism is important; an Avon executive observed that "The phone never rings, the baby never cries and the rent's never overdue in romances."[12] There are many publishers, libraries, bookstores, and literary critics who continue to go by the traditional definition of romance to categorize books.[18][19]
The genre of works of extended prose fiction dealing with romantic love existed in classical Greece.[7] The titles of over twenty such ancient Greek romance novels are known, but most of them have only survived in an incomplete, fragmentary form.[7] Only five ancient Greek romance novels have survived to the present day in a state of near-completion: Chareas and Callirhoe, Leucippe and Clitophon, Daphnis and Chloe, The Ephesian Tale, and The Ethiopian Tale.[7]
During the Ming and Qing dynasties in China, there was a mass circulation and flourishment of a type of printed romantic novels called caizi jiaren ("scholar and beauty"),[38][39] which typically involves a love story between a beautiful and talented maiden and a handsome young scholar.[40] Some examples of these novels include Ping Shan Leng Yan, Haoqiu zhuan, Iu-Kiao-Li, Huatu yuan, Qiao Lian Zhu, Wu Mei Yuan, Bai Gui Zhi, Jin Yun Qiao, Ting Yue Lou, Wu Jiang Xue, Lin er bao, Ying Yun meng, Tiehua xianshi, Shuishi yuan, Jinxiang ting, Erdu mei quanzhuan, Dingqing ren, Qingmeng tuo and Zhuchun yuan. They feature themes influenced by the romantic Tang dynasty chuanqi fictions such as Yingying's Biography, The Tale of Li Wa and Huo Xiaoyu zhuan, as well as the popular works of Song and Yuan playwrights such as Bai Renfu, Zheng Guangzu and Wang Shifu. These novels reached their peak of popularity in the late Ming and early Qing periods, during the 17th century, when a myriad of novels of these type were sold and distributed.
Scholars of romance novel history have observed that characters with disabilities have been largely underrepresented in mainstream media, including romance novels.[77] By the early 2000s, though, more books in the romance genre featured heroes and heroines with physical and mental impairments.[78] Mary Balogh's Simply Love, published in 2006, features a hero with facial scarring and nerve damage who overcomes fears of rejection due to his physical appearance to enter a romantic relationship and family unit by the end of the novel. This was a substantial shift from past narratives where disabled characters were "de-eroticized" and not given storylines that included sex or romantic love.[77]
