And the only way she knows how to get revenge is by building a spite house next door. Trust me, this is one of those rom-com books that you won’t want to keep down.
6. The Siren Of Sussex
It was Popsugar and Oprah Daily’s most anticipated romance books of 2022.

7. Made In Manhattan
Lauren Layne’s Made In Manhattan is about a rich, pampered socialite who needs to teach an unpolished, denim-loving nobody from Louisiana how to fit in with the upper crust of New York City. And to say he is not the most eager to learn would be an understatement. But somewhere amidst the dinner parties, spiteful banter, tortured tux fittings, etc., the two start respecting each other for who they are and even find love in the most unexpected way. It is one of the ideal Valentine’s Day books
8. Must Love Books
Different from other romance books on the list, this one revolves around a young woman who has to learn to push herself out of her comfort zone and take up the challenges to find her true self. A slow, slightly stumbling in places, but ultimately a hopeful look at the issue – that is whether you choose yourself, your dream job, or the love of your life. A situation that some of us might have been in more often than we’d like.
9. On A Night Like This
Lindsey Kelk’s romance book is the perfect escapism book. The story will make you laugh out loud, cry, but won’t let you put the book down. This modern-day fairytale talks about how it takes only one night to fall in love with someone. It revolves around a woman who accepts a mysterious PA job to a celebrity. A celebrity who will eventually put her in a beautiful dress and change her life forever.
Getting reservations or a spot to spend your day on Valentine’s Day is going to be quite difficult. So, why waste your time looking for it when you can have a cosy, comfy day in the warmth of your home with romance books that will definitely be better company than most men.
