Hot romance novel recs from Houston's newest romance bookstore owner

• There's something for everyone — whether it's a complex contemporary tale, historical drama, fantasy, sports romance, or even birding. And, of course, the spicy reads are still there.

Here are Mossrose Bookshop owner Andrea Sifuentes' recommendations:

😊 New to romance? "Lovelight Farms" by B.K. Borison is the start of the rom-com small-town series featuring a data analyst and an optimistic Christmas tree farm owner.

• If you prefer to start with a less-spicy series, "When in Rome" by Sarah Adams offers a sweet romance between a stranded pop star and a small-town baker.

📜 Historical fiction? "Ana María and the Fox" by Liana De la Rosa delivers a Latina Regency-era love story between a Mexican heiress and a shrewd British politician.

🏳️‍🌈 Looking for a queer read? "Ander & Santi Were Here" by Jonny Garza Villa follows a nonbinary Mexican American teen falling for the shy new waiter at their family's taqueria.

🏀 Sports and spicy? Check out "The Windy City" series by Liz Tomforde for a sports romance fix, from hockey to basketball.
