A new month means a new list of releases this month, and as always, we’ve got some bang-up movies. Not a month goes by that we don’t have an amazing list of romance novels, either by authors whose books feel like a familiar embrace or ones that are new to me but that I’m so excited to read. And since I can’t tell you Everyone The book is coming, or even every book that I am excited Coming out, please pour out a cold one for the agony I endured for days as I went through rounds one after another to make this list navigable.
July is filled with exciting romance novels from beginning to end. We’ve got a new series coming from Chrisley Cole, Chelsea Curto’s first traditionally published romance, and exciting standalones from Christina Lauren and Julie Murphy. we have started it An entire series of books written as an “AU” version of a story based on a prompt. We have everything from the mildly supernatural to the romanticism inspired by Chinese mythology. Bizarre athletes and academics are bringing contemporary style into the spotlight, while others are slipping away over time into mystery novels and sometimes off actual balconies (don’t worry, the Grim Reaper saves that. That’s a whole other thing.). There are plenty of laughs on this list, but there are also some writers you know who will make you sob. But they are all promising to offer that perfect mix of emotions and smiles that a new romance can always bring you.
