Jessica's Favorite Romances - 2022 Releases

By:

Pima County Public Library

Staff-created list

If you couldn't tell from my Ready, Set, Hold lists, I'm a fan of romance novels! I fell incredibly behind this year, so there are a lot of books that I didn't get the chance to read, but here are some that I thought were pretty great! (These are in no particular order. You'll just have to read them all and decide which is the best.)
