There’s something magical about opening a new story—especially when it arrives as an ARC or a surprise download from my BookFunnel library. 2025 has been a year of journeys: through snowy small towns, heartfelt letters, and romances that remind me why I love clean, emotionally rich storytelling. I did a post on my BookFunnel library last year so I thought I’d do it again! It’s a great reminder of some of my favourite reads this year.
Here are some of my highlights:
Charlie and her Sweet Escape – marriage of convenience done so well!
The Friendship Variable – friends to lovers with a slooow burn
The Re-do – enemies to lovers, fabulous chemistry
Romancing the Spy series – just chef’s kiss!
The Surrender Wall – such an emotional journey
Heather Miekstyn’s Games for Two series – lots of laughs and heart
