Book Recommends - Fun Romances

​I was recently asked by  a friend and fellow writer to  recommend some sweet, funny romances for a Substack post. 

I was delighted, as I love reading romantic comedies, and there were two that came to mind right away. 
​
Here are my choices:​

Book Lovers by Emily Henry 
I loved this book because it made me laugh aloud. The scene in the coffee shop was one of the funniest I've read in a long time. I loved the writing and how it parodies some of the commonly used tropes in romance.  And to my delight, the smart, determined career woman gets a happy ending. If you love romantic comedies, you'll love this book!
 
Since We've No Place to Go by Kate Watson
This book takes place at Christmas but I read it in January, and it's a great choice for any month, especially ones that can get dreary. It's a  fun, fast-reading romance with captivating banter and caring characters who did kind things (despite what they believed about each other at the beginning). I loved that Liesel, the main female character, was intelligent and Cooper respected it - though it didn't stop him from being attracted to her or ribbing her. And the oversized dad and goofy brothers were great additions to the story.
