An Offer from a Gentleman Lp: Bridgerton
Julia Quinn
Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books were written in the early 2000s, which doesn’t excuse their misogyny but puts it in context for the larger romance genre. You don’t see this kind of casual violence as often in Regency romances published today. The genre is changing.

How to Sell a Haunted House
Grady Hendrix
@JenReadsRomance @grady_hendrix I recommend "My Best Friend's Exorcism" and the "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires" if you like How To Sell a Haunted House! They're all ~spooky nonsense happens to women in the suburbs who have other responsibilities they need to deal with~ stories.

Beach Read
Emily Henry
@_megconley @blgtylr Emily Henry's romances are both heavy and charming if you haven't read her work yet! Beach Read is still my favorite.
