As someone who devours romance novels like candy, I've noticed that some publishers consistently deliver the most heart-fluttering reads. Harlequin is a giant in the industry, especially for those who love category romances with predictable yet satisfying tropes. Their series like 'Harlequin Presents' and 'Love Inspired' dominate shelves. Avon Romance is another powerhouse, publishing steamy historicals and contemporary hits like Julia Quinn’s 'Bridgerton' series. Then there’s Berkley, which releases gems like Emily Henry’s 'Book Lovers'—books with witty banter and emotional depth. For indie lovers, Entangled Publishing offers fresh voices and diverse stories. These publishers have mastered the art of crafting love stories that resonate deeply with readers, making them go-to names for anyone craving a good romance.

Romance publishing is a dynamic field, and certain houses have earned their reputation by consistently delivering bestsellers. HarperCollins’ Avon imprint is legendary for historical romance, with authors like Lisa Kleypas and Sarah MacLean creating unforgettable love stories. Their books often blend lush settings with intense emotional arcs.

Penguin Random House’s Berkley and Jove imprints excel in contemporary romance. Tessa Dare’s whimsical historicals and Helen Hoang’s neurodiverse love stories, like 'The Heart Principle,' showcase their range. Meanwhile, St. Martin’s Press (under Macmillan) publishes buzzy titles like Colleen Hoover’s 'It Ends with Us,' which tackles heavier themes while keeping romance central.

For those who prefer self-published or indie works, authors like Ruby Dixon have found massive success through platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing. Her 'Ice Planet Barbarians' series proves that unconventional stories can thrive outside traditional publishing. Whether you crave tropes or twists, these publishers know how to keep readers hooked.

Diving into romance novels, I’ve found that publishers often specialize in subgenres, making it easier to discover your next favorite read. Sourcebooks Casablanca is a standout for witty, character-driven romances like 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne—a workplace enemies-to-lovers story that’s pure magic. They also champion diverse voices, ensuring fresh perspectives.

Grand Central Publishing (Hachette) brings heat with authors like Christina Lauren, whose 'The Unhoneymooners' mixes humor and sizzling chemistry. For paranormal romance, nothing beats TOR, with their gripping series like Nalini Singh’s 'Psy-Changeling' books.

Smaller presses like Carina Press (Harlequin’s digital-first imprint) offer niche gems, from LGBTQ+ romances to sci-fi love stories. Their flexibility lets them take risks, resulting in unique narratives. Whether you’re into sweet small-town romances or dark, angsty dramas, these publishers have shelves waiting to be explored.

They Read My Mind
I was the biological daughter of the Stone Family. With my gossip-tracking system, I played the part of a meek, obedient girl on the surface, but underneath, I would strike hard when it counted. What I didn't realize was that someone could hear my every thought. "Even if you're our biological sister, Alicia is the only one we truly acknowledge. You need to understand your place," said my brothers. 'I must've broken a deal with the devil in a past life to end up in the Stone Family this time,' I figured. My brothers stopped dead in their tracks. "Alice is obedient, sensible, and loves everyone in this family. Don't stir up drama by trying to compete for attention." I couldn't help but think, 'Well, she's sensible enough to ruin everyone's lives and loves you all to the point of making me nauseous.' The brothers looked dumbfounded.

Don't Date Your Best Friend (The Unfolding Duet 2 Books)
He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

I've always loved diving into romance novels that later get brought to life on screen. One of my all-time favorites is 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks. The book is heart-wrenchingly beautiful, and the movie captures that raw emotion perfectly.

What Romance Books To Read Similar To Bridgerton?

As someone who devours historical romance like it’s my job, I can’t recommend 'The Duke and I' by Julia Quinn enough if you loved 'Bridgerton.' It’s got the same witty banter, lavish balls, and scandalous twists. But if you’re craving more Regency-era drama, 'A Week to Be Wicked' by Tessa Dare is a hilarious romp with a fake engagement trope that’s pure gold. For a darker, grittier vibe, 'Devil in Winter' by Lisa Kleypas delivers a reformed rake and a wallflower with a spine of steel. These books nail the mix of passion and societal intrigue that makes 'Bridgerton' so addictive.

What Are The Must-Read Werewolves Romance Books For Beginners?

I've always been drawn to werewolf romances because they blend raw passion with supernatural intrigue. For beginners, 'Moon Called' by Patricia Briggs is a fantastic entry point. It's got a strong female lead, Mercy Thompson, who navigates a world of werewolves, vampires, and fae with wit and grit. The romance is slow-burn but incredibly satisfying. Another great pick is 'Alpha and Omega' by the same author, which dives deeper into pack dynamics and the bond between mates. If you prefer something steamier, 'Bitten' by Kelley Armstrong delivers with Elena Michaels, the only female werewolf, torn between her human life and her pack loyalties. These books are gripping without being overwhelming for new readers.

I've always had a soft spot for dark romance, especially when it's free to read. One of my favorites is 'The Dark Duet' by CJ Roberts, which is intense and emotionally gripping. It explores themes of captivity and twisted love in a way that’s both disturbing and captivating. Another great option is 'Twist Me' by Anna Zaires, a story that dives into obsession and Stockholm syndrome with a raw, unfiltered edge. If you’re into paranormal dark romance, 'Captive in the Dark' by CJ Roberts is also worth checking out. These books aren’t for the faint of heart, but they deliver a powerful punch if you’re into complex, morally gray relationships. You can find some of these on platforms like Wattpad or Archive of Our Own, where authors sometimes share their work for free. Just be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions—dark romance isn’t about fluffy happily ever afters.
