I recently discovered Katherine center. She's a romance author and her books basically don't include spice. I read the bodyguard and how to walk away of hers. Both were so beautiful, had a lot of plot and it was just the cutest thing ever. ❤

“This time it’s real” is one of my fav books ever, if I could I would give it 6 stars !! It was sooooo cute and fresh and fun, I loved everything about it

Those Elsie Silver books are beautiful!

If you're willing to try regency, Edenbrooke is a sweet, clean read! One of my favorites!

More Than Words is definitely one of my favorite books! Its a good mixtures of tropes: takes place in in France, its childhood friends to strangers to lovers, and one of us is famous. I also felt some Taylor Swift inspired scenes. None of the lyrics were in the book but I felt like some of the events that occurred in the book would be something that Taylor Swift would write songs about. Loved, loved, loved it! Also, Marriage for One is soo good! It definitely had an interesting storyline that had you hooked the whole way through. Also, you fall in love With the characters very easily. It wasn’t my all time favorite romance novel but I always recommend the book to friends because it was just so sweet and gave me butterflies.

This time it's real is so good

Thank you for all the amazing romance recommendations 🤩😭 So excited to hear your thoughts on them 💕 YES Magnolia Parks is honestly everything! I hope you love One Day. It’s my all time, up the top of my list, kinda would reread books, for romance books 💗🫶🏻🫀

your thoughts on celebrity romances: yes 100% agree it's just so much more exciting and fun like the moment i hear this trope is in a book i add it to the tbr immediately

You have to read one day! It’s heartbreaking but so well written. I read it over 10 years ago but remember loving it so much!

And the Emily houghton book was slow to start but very uplifting, I actually don’t think it was too sad as it focused on the positive 🥰

Something Wilder is SO FUN!!! Such a different Christina Lauren read, and it’s amazing. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I absolutely adored it

„Before I saw you“ was so so good 🥰 Sad partially but also really beautiful ❤

I really enjoyed One Day - romance books by male authors are great, Nicholas Sparks also a great romance author! ❤️

The Bergman Brothers series is so good!! Book 5 and 6 are my faves

I’ve been on such a fantasy bender but I think it’s time to go and read some fun romance books 😍

for the chestnut springs series calgary is not a small town (I actually live here lol millions of people live in Calgary), but the ranch is just outside of calgary, since there’s loads of farms and prairie land right outside Calgary so that’s why it’s a small town vibe!!!

This Time It’s Real is one of my favorite romances ever! It’s just so good!! Honestly Ann Liang is reviving YA romances right now. She has four new upcoming books and best believe I’ll be waiting for all of them. You can read her debut If You Could See The Sun. Academic rivals to lovers and bunch of cute moments.

More than words is so good!! It was really sweet, lots of good character development and they help each other work through traumatic pasts. Childhood connection, one of them is famous. You have to read it!

Omg the TV series of Tell Me Lies was SO good! It was kinda like romantic/suspense/thriller-y vibes.

Yes! Came here to say the same thing

really love the Bible verses at the beginning of your videos....really needed it🥺

B4 I let go does handle heavy topics like depression and grief/loss of a child but in my experience, it wasn't necessarily sad as it explored other lighthearted stuff like romance, friendship, community and more. You definitely should read it

i didn’t like to hate Jason Thorn either, but marriage for one is so good,by far Ella Maise’s best book

This was so wholesome 🥰 I absolutely love romance books!! 💕 x

I LOVED the ex talk!! You should definitely give it a chance, I’ve already read it twice 😂

hey girl!!! seven days in june isn’t actually too heavy, there are some topics brought up, but i remember it being a really fast paced, funny, romantic and inspiring book. it’s really good, definitely recommend reading it soon!😘😘

Something Wilder was so good! So fun!! It would be a great summer book, I listened to the audiobook and it was really entertaining ❤

I know alone with you in the ether wasn't super up there for you, but I would highly recommend it. The storyline is meaningfully deep and the quotes are just beautiful. Dynamic-wise, if you've read normal people I would say the dynamic between the characters is similar to that (in their characteristics/thoughts, not the premise), but it's much more of a hopeful story than normal people (normal people gave off love can be toxic, while this book gave off that love can be healing).

Currently reading Heartless and I’m LOVING it! I want Chesnut Springs to be a real place 😭❤️

I LOVE MORE THAN WORDS. I love arches voice and I like more than words more

Even though i love your fantasy recommendation and you reading fantasy and thriller, i still loved and enjoyed watching this video ❤.

I really loved the ex talk! Bit quirky and fun with two strangers pretending they were ex’s to get ratings for their station. Gave me similar feels to second first impressions or love on the brain 👏🏻👏🏻

This Time It’s Real was AMAZING! I loved the romance (Caz Song is a new book boyfriend of mine 😌), and the main fmc is so relatable. As a teenager, I felt so seen. 😭

Before I Let Go is amazing! It does have some dark themes surrounding child loss, so I’d prepare for that, but overall, I wouldn’t say that the story is dark or I was negatively affected by the storyline. We’re all different though

I love more than words it was on par with archers voice for me and bonus set in France and they have a fairytale it was such a lovely book ❤❤

Rachel! You need to read alone with you in the ether soon! The mental health rep is amazing and it's my favorite book of the year. I have a feeling you'll love it.

If you’re going to read Exes and O’s I definitely recommend reading Set on You first! I honestly liked the first book better than the second.

One day is a must read! Such a beautiful story. It’s one of my favorite books 😊

you should read "a royal shade of blue" I thought it was gonna be so cheesy at first but its turning out to be such a good story!

you need to read our scorching summer!! is the perfect summer read and mmc is soooo cute

The ex talk was soooo good

Adding so many of these to my TBR even though I shouldn’t lol. I read an ARC of Once More with Feeling and really enjoyed it.

ahh this video makes me happy 🥰

I don't really read Romance books, but my favourite Romance book series is Sullivan's Crossing by Robyn Carr. It is a 5 book series, and now a TV that came out this year.i read all of Sullivan's Crossing over quarantine. It feels like family

Currently reading when in rome & practice makes perfect too 😍👏🏻

ANN LIANG IS AMAZINGGGG

Loving these early morning uploads Rach 🥰

yes pleaseeeee read bad reputation duet asap!! also if you love the chestnut springs series by elsie silver, also read gold rush ranch by her. it’s in the same universe but technically comes before chestnut springs. it gives the same vibes and i absolutely loveeeed it. it also had violet eaton’s story. definitely recommend - it’s a complete series too 🫶🏻

Try books from Julie Caplin! Her Romantic escapes are rlly good

Before I let Go is an awesome read, not too heavily emotional.

First! I love your videos so much Rachel! ❤❤ Thank you for these romance recs!

You should read Coach by Deveny Perry! We have very very similar taste in books and I absolutely loved that book!

I have read book before Exes & Os and I loved it. It was a book about a curvy fitness instagram influencer and I loved it. Exes and Os is also on my TBR

Betting On You comes out November 23rd for sure, I've already pre-ordered it 🙈💕

The amount of books I just added to my tbr…

I read exes and os first and you don't need to read them in order. Exes and os is the best in my opinion

Your videos are the highlight of my week ❤

Please give Night School by CJ Daugherty a try! Series set in boarding school - dark academia and romance. It's so good!

Hey! Rachel you are my favourite youtuber and I love your vlogs so so much you are my inspiration and I wish you reach 300K Subscribers very very soon!✨☺️💞

I loved on a night like this!! It was so sweet

I am so freaking excited for Betting on You!!

I've read this time its real and i absolutely loved it , it's so cute , and the quotes are amazing! its a 6 star read for me and it was just so amazing!! I hope you will love it as much as i did!

Omggg I am so happy!!!💖I love u so muchh!🙈

Great TBR! Everything about Love, Theoretically sounds good, except the fact that it's written by Ali Hazelwood. Hope this not better be The Love Hypothesis 3.0, but I digress. Looking forward to your final thoughts, have fun! 😍🥰❤🧡💛💚💙💜💕💖 I have a randomly fun YA romance rec just for you. Can I please suggest Always Never Yours by Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka (the same author duo who wrote The Roughest Draft)?

I didn’t read Set On You before Exes and Ohs and I don’t feel like I missed anything

i loved set on you - ex's and o's follows the sister of the mc in set on you. there's also a relation with the 2 guy mc - but i don't think its necessary to read set on you first, its just cute :)

I really enjoyed Meet me in the margins by Rebecca Ferguson. It was very sweet and no spice.

I really want to read thank you for listening!!

I read Alone With You In the Ether and This Time It's Real earlier this year. I think both are solid reads. AWYITE is a bit more....complicated than a traditional romance. But I think it falls in the general area. I will tell you that I absolutely hated Tell Me Lies, lol.

Heartless is amazing! 5 star read for me❤️

I just read read Just Haven't Met You Yet by Sophie Cousens and I thought it was really fun!

the Ex Talk was so good!!!!!

Fantastic video Rachel!😸

It’s the content for meeeee!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Love Marriage for One! Definitely read 😊

My fav book tuber ❤

I cannot wait to finish studying to begin reading again 🤭

I have read a book if the money spoke it's really exciting 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just finished before I saw you and it is a little bit sad but I really enjoyed it! I cried more during happy place then this book 😅

love you!!!

Is Thank you for Listening very steamy? I’d love to hear about that in your romances. I love a good romance, bit don’t like spicy ones ☺️

i read exes and os not knowing there was another possible book before it but i loved it so much more than i thought i would! it was giving super cheesy vibes but i couldn't put it down lol

Where is ur jumper from? love the colors and perfect 🤩

Tell Me Lies is 100% a hate read & it was so frustrating to get through. Like none of the characters are likable & they’re SO toxic but not in the fun Magnolia Parks way. Good luck!

I completely agree with this

Hi Rachel, just wanted to say it would be cool if you could read more diverse books such as some lgbt ones! There’s some great ones out there

Hi Rachel good morning happy Thursday afternoon and I just wanted to say that you are amazing Supporter

I was ‘Meh’ about The Ex Talk.

Hi! I recently read heartless because I enjoyed flawless so much (I also gave it 4 stars) and just wanted to warn you that it's much more sex heavy than the first book. The word cock is used almost every other page and I found it to be a bit much. I read 3 sex scenes in 30 minutes, very explicit ones, so it took me very out of their relationship development. I'm excited for the 3rd one, but I've heard that they constantly refer to them as being cousins (it happened in book 2 already) so maybe it will be a bit cringe worthy, we'll see. Hope you have an amazing day!

Before I let go is heavy and I really do think you should read the trigger warnings and be prepared

Alone with you in the ether is my favorite book of all time but it’s for sure not for everyone

I like Magnolia Parks but I am not a fan of Tell Me Lies. Not the right kind of toxic for me.

your going to be busy ❤

if you want a different kind of romance by a man: 'a thousand splendid sons' by khaled hosseini IS GUT WRENCHINGLY GOOD

I think that the only romance book that i've read that was written by a man was... The NoteBook 🤣🤣 Obviously, absolutely devastating (i will always have tears while watching that movie - dementia sucks!!!) but cheating and toxicity in books is an instant no from me. I am sure that not all books written by males have those tropes of course but i am sharing my only experience with male authors.. I should branch out and try some more.

The reluctance to read a romance book by a man is so real😭

Does anyone know if Catherine stays away from smut?

Ufff i really couldnt finish Only when its us

a million kisses in your lifetime was toxic?? lol like the MC was annoying but i didnt think it was toxic, or am i dumb lol

Don't waste your money on "Meet me at the Lake" I LOVED Every Summer After and Meet Me at the Lake was one of the most blah and boring romance books I've read it years. I pre ordered it and was devastated that it was a CHORE to finish. I did finish it. It was not worth my time or money.

set on you, in my opinion, was a horrible book, i really did not enjoy it and the fmc was so irritating i found it hard to finish. so if you don’t feel like you are drawn to it, i don’t recommend reading it 😅

Lol…The Ex Talk was 3 stars for me. Not helpful. I also have Something Wilder on my TBR.

I did not like “Marriage for one” at all. It was long, boring and repetitive. The whole book it’s the same thing over and over again. I loved “This time it’s real” , it helped me with my reading slump. It’s cute, fluffy and an easy fast read. I’ve read the 3 Elsie Silver books and loved them. My favorite it’s the second one.
