Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post. This week’s topic is Genre Freebie, so I am going to share some of my most favorite Contemporary Romances.
Jaded by Varina Denman
This book is excellent! It is a powerful read that has stayed with me all these many years later. I highly, highly recommend this story.


Take a Chance on Me by Susan May Warren
Every single book in this series is good, but this first book is my favorite. Highly recommend it if you’ve not read it yet.
Life After by Katie Ganshert
This is not an easy read. This read will rip your heart out and stomp on it a little. BUT it ends on a note of hope and positivity and love. It’s such a GOOD story.


True to You by Becky Wade
This was one of the first books I had ever read by Becky Wade and I absolutely loved it. This whole series is excellent. If you haven’t read the books in this series I recommend you grab a copy of True to You asap!
Then There Was You by Kara Isaac
Then There Was You is one of the funniest, sweetest novels I’ve ever read. This is a book I re-read just so I can laugh. I highly recommend this book if you need a good laugh and a sweet story!


Hold the Light by April McGowan
This book is masterful. It takes the reader through all the feels and then some. I cannot say enough good things about this book. If you haven’t read it, read it ASAP!
The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck
I have enjoyed every Hauck novel I have read, but The Love Letter is my #1 favorite. This book is perfect! Definitely put this on your TBR list immediately if you have not read this book yet.


Love You, Truly by Susan Tuttle
This is one of those books I always re-read when I need a perfect, satisfying Contemporary Romance to escape into.
Autumn Skies by Denise Hunter
I love Denise Hunter novels and will read them as soon as they are hot off the presses. The Bluebell Inn series is superior, but this final installment is my favorite. It is such a good story!


Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish by Bethany Turner
Bethany Turner is one of the reigning queens of Contemporary RomComs. I love all her books, and will always read her latest release, but Hadley Beckett’s Next Dish holds a very special place in my heart. I love this book!
I don’t read a lot of contemporary romance but I do enjoy Susan Mallery and Brenda Sue Novak. They are not Christian authors and their books are not squeaky clean though.

Thank you for sharing. I appreciate author endorsements. Helps me search out books. 😀

If romance comes up in the books I read, it’s mostly because the knight/viking/soldier/etc has gotten distracted from the serious business of stabbing/shooting bad guys by the presence of a lady type. XD Glad you enjoyed these, though.

Love “from the serious business of stabbing/shooting bad guys.” That is hilarious. I’m glad you like the action/adventure books. My husband does, too. Thank you for reading through my post today. 😀

Romance isn’t really my genre so I’ve not read any of these. Glad you enjoyed them though!
