Hot Off the Presses: New Releases + Upcoming Events at Romantasy Bookstore 🗞️✨

New year, new reads, new reasons to leave the house in your comfiest outfit and pretend you’re “just browsing” (we see you). Here’s what’s fresh on our shelves and what’s coming up on the calendar. 💌📚

First up: New releases we’re obsessed with 📦💘

If your TBR pile is already judging you—good. Add these anyway. 😌📚

• Grumpily Ever After by Teagan Hunter 😤💞A grumpy/sunshine-style rom-com vibe where the sarcasm is sharp, the chemistry is sharper, and the “I’m not catching feelings” energy lasts exactly five minutes.

• Bourbon & Lies by Victoria Wilder 🥃🤫A steamy, secrets-and-sparks romance with messy truths, late-night tension, and the kind of attraction that makes “bad idea” feel like a love language.

• One Week Later by KJ Micciche ⏳💔Emotional, twisty, and addictive—this one leans into consequences, second chances, and the way one week can change everything.

• My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney 🕵️♀️🖤A dark, clever psychological thriller with unreliable vibes, sharp turns, and that delicious “wait… WHAT?” feeling you’ll be thinking about after the last page.

• Fruit of the Flesh by IV Ophelia 🍒🔥Lush, intense, and unapologetically sensual—this is for readers who like their romance bold, their tension high, and their pages a little… dangerous.

• Catch Her if You Can by Tessa Bailey 🏃♀️💋Flirty, fast-paced, and laugh-out-loud sexy—classic Bailey energy with big banter, big heat, and big “just one more chapter” momentum.

• Just Breaking the Rules by Lauren Blakely 🚫😍A playful, spicy rule-breaking romance where boundaries get tested, sparks fly, and the “we shouldn’t” turns into “we absolutely should.”

Want a recommendation based on your vibe (sweet, spicy, dark, chaotic, “make me scream into a pillow”)? Ask us in-store—we live for this. 🫶✨
