Fall in love with a romance novel!

August 15, 2022 By Shannon Harris

The month of August has been designated as Read-A-Romance Month. So, to get you in the mood for some summer love, I have selected a few new romance novels to highlight for your reading pleasure. If these titles don’t put you in the mood for love, then come and visit A.K. Smiley Public Library in person and check out our display of diverse and inclusive romance books where we have something for everyone.

Fans of the very popular romance novel, Boyfriend Material, by Alexis Hall, will be pleased to know that the sequel, Husband Material, will be available for check out soon. Everyone’s favorite fake couple turned real couple are starting to feel the pressures of happily ever after; will they cave into the pressures and break up or will true love conquer?

If you are looking for an out of this world extraterrestrial romance, then let me introduce you to the very popular series, Ice Planet Barbarians, by Ruby Dixon. These books are wildly popular on many social media outlets and lucky for you, dear reader, A.K. Smiley Public Library has the first book (Ice Planet Barbarians) and the second book (Barbarian Alien) in the series for you to stay up all night with. Get acquainted with Georgie and her friends as they acclimate to a world much different from their own.

Fans of the popular romance novel, The Love Hypothesis, by Ali Hazelwood, will be pleased to know her latest ‘STEMinist’ romance novel, Love on the Brain, will be released later this month, so place a hold on the book now. Scientist Bee Königswasser is forced to collaborate with her grad school nemesis, Levi Ward, on a project where everything seems to be going wrong, and Bee can’t help but notice Levi’s lingering glances and strong arms. Read this book to find out if these rivals can overcome their past and find love.

Hopefully these titles will satisfy all your romance needs for the month of August.
