What romance book releases are you most excited about for 2025?
|
As we look ahead to the best books 2025, I'm curious what romance book releases everyone in our book community is anticipating. I've heard Emily Henry has something new coming, and I'm always excited for her contemporary romance.
I'm also looking for recommendations beyond the usual bestselling books. Any indie romance authors or less mainstream romance book releases we should watch for?
These weekly book picks and recommendations really help me stay on top of literary trends 2025, especially in the romance genre where there's so much coming out all the time.
For romance book releases in 2025, I'm really excited about Ali Hazelwood's next book - she does STEM romance so well. Also, I've heard Helen Hoang might have something new, and her books always have such good representation.
Beyond the usual bestselling books, I'm keeping an eye on indie romance authors like Chloe Liese who does disability representation really well. Sometimes the best romance book releases aren't the ones getting all the marketing.
For weekly book picks in the romance genre, I'd love to see more variety - not just contemporary but also historical, paranormal, LGBTQ+ romance. The romance genre has so much diversity that often gets overlooked in mainstream recommendations.
I read some fantasy romance, so for romance book releases I'm looking forward to A Tempest of Tea" which has vampires and tea shops - such a fun combination! Also, "The Foxglove King" sequel should be coming, and that first book had great romantic tension alongside the fantasy plot.
For contemporary romance, I've heard good things about "Funny Feelings" which is a romance between a comedian and her manager. That sounds like a fresh take on the genre.
I think romance book releases sometimes get dismissed as "fluff" but the best ones explore relationships and emotions in really meaningful ways. That's a literary trends 2025 I hope continues - romance being taken seriously as a genre.
I don't read much pure romance, but I enjoy sci-fi romance blends. For romance book releases with speculative elements, I'm interested in The Dead Romantics" sequel - the first book had a great premise (ghostwriter who sees ghosts) with genuine emotional depth.
I also think we're seeing more romance book releases that challenge traditional genre boundaries. Books that are part romance, part mystery, part something else. That's an interesting literary trends 2025 development.
For our book talk community, I appreciate when romance recommendations come with content notes - steam level, tropes, potential triggers. Romance is such a broad genre that what one person loves, another might dislike, so detailed recommendations help.
