Valentine’s Day might be a time for sweet moments and romantic gestures, but for me, it’s more like my New Year’s.
I get a little down in the dumps thinking about all sorts of life choices I’ve made, and I end up evaluating everything I’ve done.
While others are basking in love, I’m reflecting.
One thing I always do to get through this season, though, is turn to Valentine’s romance books.
They’re like my comfort food.
Over the past year, I’ve written about countless romance tropes, but this post is dedicated to some of the most romantic, swoon-worthy reads that’ll make your heart melt.
These books are so charming and full of love, they might just give you a happy heart overload.
