This is a true romance and a sexy, modern love story. It features two authors who are current enemies, but once spent a week-long romance together and won't stop writing about it in their books.

3. "These Impossible Things" - Salma El-Wardany

This is a book for everyone wanting to celebrate friendships instead of romance and follows three best friends as their lives begin to go different ways on their journey to adulthood.

4. "Pack Up the Moon" - Kristan Higgins

5. "Just the Nicest Couple" - Mary Kubica

This is another one for Anti-Valentine's Day and is a new release. It involves a husband who disappears, and the two couples who are linked to it. Mary Kubica is one of my favorite thriller authors!

6. Any book by Emily Henry

If there's time as a general shout-out, I would recommend any book by Emily Henry. She is the most light-hearted, fun, steamy romance author. And she has a new book coming out in April!
