Best Laid Plans - A Mafia Romance
Mumbai. The city of dreams. Shining bright with impressive skyscrapers, glamorous filmstars, and glittering malls. Standing tall on the shimmering coast of the Arabian Sea. Everywhere Sun hits here, this city dazzles. But beneath this warm dazzle, there is another Mumbai. The cold Mumbai. The dark Mumbai. The stronghold of the mafia. Where narrow alleys are splattered with gun-powder and blood. Where lives are discarded like tissue papers. Where an obscene amount of money circulates unaudited. And since years now, this formidable underworld is under Lala Amarnath Vaghela's thumb. The powerful mafia kingpin who started his ascent from the slums of Dharavi years back, today he controls most of the Indian subcontinent's illegal dealings and organized crime with an iron fist. But not without help. Kunal Ranjan Vaghela. Lalaji's grandson and his heir apparent. Apple of his grandfather's eyes, he is calculative, sly, and cold-blooded. Samar Jagtap. Lalaji's ruthless and cunning protege. Indispensable, he is as unapologetic as they come in this business. Everything is working smoothly in Lalaji's world. Like a well-oiled machine. Or is it? Because apart from sharing Lalaji's trust, apparently these two capable young men also share an undisguised hatred for each other. Not above playing dirty in this high-stakes arena, both are merely bidding their time to tear one another down. But no matter who emerges the winner out of the two, there is someone who will only lose. A torn heart that refuses to take sides. A girl who dared to love them both. Stubborn and loyal-to-a-fault Maahi. Full name Maahi Ranjan Vaghela. Kunal Vaghela's beloved baby sister. And the beautiful confusion of Samar Jagtap's life.

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.”

Ever since he was a kid, Sieghal was convinced that something terrifying was lurking under the sea, waiting for him with its jaws wide open. But he had no clue what kind of creature it could be. His fear only grew worse when his dad fell into the ocean, forcing him to return to his hometown—Shira, to face the terror he'd never been able to overcome for years. Returning to Shira after all these years was no cakewalk for Sieghal, who despised the sea. While most folks would say the ocean is a super romantic place, not for Sieghal, it was just a gateway ready to drag his soul into death. Unlike him, the people of Shira believed that the ocean, which had sustained them for decades, was protected by a guardian—a wonderful entity with shimmering silver scales. And it was this entity that had saved his dad when he fell into the sea during a massive storm that night. "Is seventy million dollars is enough to buy your dignity, Alfreeda Sieghal?" "Sir Dylan, I'm not to try sell my soul just to get money for my dad's medical bills."

“You.” I snapped my head up. A naked man marched into the kitchen. Heat rushed to my face. The man draped in tattoos and bronze skin glared at me. “What are you doing here?” I squeaked. “I should be the one asking you that.” He closed the gap between us, and his body slammed against mine, pinning me against the door. His hand wrapped around my neck. I dug my nails into his flesh but he didn’t flinch. “You’re with the Red Claw pack aren’t you?” He sneered and tightened his hold. “Screw…you,” I rasped. “Ezra,” Dad barked. “What?” “Put her down. She’s my daughter.” His hold loosened and I dropped to the floor. I held my neck and glared at him. “You have an eighteen-year-old daughter?” Alpha Ezra asked. Dad shrugged, “Twenty, but yes.” Summer is on the run from her former Alpha, and seeks refuge with her estranged Father. She hides a secret that could get her killed so the one person she must stay away from is the one she's drawn to the most. Alpha Ezra is sort of her Dad's best friend and logically off-limits but soon the lines between them blur and before they know it the desire is too hot to put out. Summer's past catches up with her and the only option is to cheat fate or repeat history. Ezra and Summer must work together or risk being ripped apart.

As someone who devours romance novels like candy, I totally get the craving for books that capture that same magical, sun-drenched vibe as 'Summer of Romance'. If you're looking for something with that perfect mix of nostalgia, warmth, and young love, 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' by Jenny Han is an absolute must-read. It’s got all the beachy feels, complicated relationships, and emotional depth that make summer romances so addictive. Another fantastic pick is 'Along for the Ride' by Sarah Dessen, which nails that small-town summer atmosphere with its charming setting and slow-burn romance.

For a slightly more mature but equally dreamy read, 'Every Summer After' by Carley Fortune is a recent favorite of mine. It’s got second-chance romance, lakeside nostalgia, and all the bittersweet emotions that come with revisiting the past. If you want something with a bit more drama, 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren is a hilarious and steamy enemies-to-lovers story set in paradise. And don’t sleep on 'People We Meet on Vacation' by Emily Henry—it’s got the perfect balance of humor, heart, and summertime adventure.

What Are The Best Black Romance Books For Summer Reading?

4 Answers2025-09-05 23:15:38

I love a stack of light, sunlit reads for summer, and when it comes to Black romance there’s so much joy and range to choose from.

For poolside or porch lounging, I always recommend starting with 'The Wedding Date' by Jasmine Guillory and 'The Perfect Find' by Tia Williams — both feel glossy and modern, with characters who meet-swoon-meet again energy and wardrobe envy that pairs perfectly with iced coffee. For rom-coms with heart, 'Get a Life, Chloe Brown' by Talia Hibbert and 'The Boyfriend Project' by Farrah Rochon are pure summer vibes: funny banter, healing main characters, and airports or office scenes that make you check your own messages.

If you want something with a little more sweep, slip in 'A Princess in Theory' by Alyssa Cole or the emotionally rich 'An American Marriage' by Tayari Jones. And don’t forget YA: 'You Should See Me in a Crown' by Leah Johnson is a sparkling, hopeful read that sits beautifully on a beach towel. Grab a sunhat and rotate through one rom-com, one deeper title, and one YA — that mix keeps the days bright and the nights thoughtful.

Are There Any Movie Adaptations Of The Best Summer Romance Books?

4 Answers2025-08-08 23:01:13

As someone who spends summers buried in romance novels and then hunts for their movie counterparts, I’ve got a list that’ll make your heart flutter. 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks is the ultimate summer romance classic, and its film adaptation starring Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams is just as tear-jerkingly beautiful. Another gem is 'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes, which got a stellar adaptation with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin—perfect for those who love bittersweet love stories.

For something lighter, 'To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before' by Jenny Han became a Netflix sensation, capturing the awkward charm of teenage crushes. If you crave historical vibes, 'Outlander' by Diana Gabaldon inspired a TV series that’s just as epic as the books, though it’s more of a long binge than a movie. And let’s not forget 'Call Me by Your Name'—the film adaptation of André Aciman’s novel is a sun-drenched masterpiece of first love. Each of these adaptations brings the magic of summer romance to life, whether you’re craving drama, fluff, or a mix of both.

As someone who devours YA romance like candy, I have a soft spot for summer love stories that capture the magic of fleeting connections. 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' by Jenny Han is a standout—it’s got all the sun-soaked vibes, complicated family dynamics, and a love triangle that’ll keep you hooked. Another must-read is 'My Life Next Door' by Huntley Fitzpatrick, which balances sweet romance with deeper themes of responsibility and family.

For a more whimsical take, 'Love & Gelato' by Jenna Evans Welch whisks readers away to Italy, blending romance with travel and self-discovery.

Where Can I Read The Best Summer Romance Books For Free?

5 Answers2025-07-08 00:26:14

As someone who spends summers buried in romance novels, I’ve found some fantastic free options. Many libraries offer digital loans through apps like Libby or Hoopla, where you can borrow gems like 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne or 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren without spending a dime. Project Gutenberg is another goldmine for classic romances like 'Persuasion' by Jane Austen, perfect for nostalgic readers.

For contemporary picks, platforms like Wattpad and Inkitt host indie authors writing fresh, addictive stories. I stumbled upon 'The Love Hypothesis' by Ali Hazelwood as a fanfic before it hit shelves! Also, keep an eye out for Kindle Unlimited free trials—they often include titles like 'Beach Read' by Emily Henry. Just remember, while free reads are great, supporting authors when you can keeps the romance alive.

Do The Best Summer Romance Books Have Audiobook Versions?

As someone who devours romance novels while commuting, I can confidently say that many of the best summer romance books do indeed have audiobook versions. 'The Unhoneymooners' by Christina Lauren is a fantastic example—its witty banter and beachy vibes are even more enjoyable when narrated. I also love listening to 'People We Meet on Vacation' by Emily Henry during road trips; the narrator captures the nostalgic, sun-soaked feel perfectly.

For those who prefer slow-burn romances, 'Beach Read' by Emily Henry (yes, her again!) has an audiobook that adds layers to the emotional depth. 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne is another gem where the audiobook enhances the enemies-to-lovers tension. Some older titles like 'The Notebook' by Nicholas Sparks also have audiobooks, though the narration style might feel dated. If you’re into diverse voices, 'The Kiss Quotient' by Helen Hoang’s audiobook is a must-try—the narrator nails the protagonist’s neurodivergent perspective. Whether you’re lounging by the pool or stuck in traffic, these audiobooks turn summer romances into immersive experiences.

Looking for the perfect summer romance to dive into? 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' by Jenny Han absolutely captures that nostalgic feeling of young love and the bittersweetness of growing up. Belly's summer adventures are filled with crushes, heart-wrenching choices, and memories that feel oh-so-real. The way Han weaves her characters' emotions gives it a realistic touch; it feels like I’m following my own friends around on their summer escapades. Just imagine those lazy days by the beach, ice cream cones melting in the heat, and the thrill of unexpected romantic tension. I felt every bit of Belly's drama as she navigates her feelings between two brothers and the complex relationships around her. The beautiful descriptions really make you feel the summer vibes! Not to mention, the sequel series captures those same feelings while evolving the characters in breathtaking ways.

Then there’s 'Beach Read' by Emily Henry. Although categorized as adult fiction, it carries that youthful summer romance theme, wrapped in witty banter and heartwarming moments. Two authors with writer’s block swap genres and spend their summer in neighboring beach houses. I enjoyed how their professional rivalry turned into a sweet romance filled with profound realizations! Amelia's journey made me reflect on my own dreams and aspirations—it's relatable in a way that sparks inspiration for anyone, young or just young at heart. This novel is perfect for a cozy beach day with a refreshing drink in hand!

And we can't forget 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before'! It’s a delightful tale of letters that suddenly come to life and turn Lara Jean's world upside down. The quirky charm of Lara Jean as she navigates high school romance is a classic! The way she handles each unexpected love interest has me smiling every time. It shows how love isn’t always perfect, and it’s these little, messy moments that make every romance unique. With all these delightful reads, I can’t help but feel that tangible summer magic in every page!
