Below you’ll find links to lists of romance recommendations sorted by category. But there’s also a section in each one for your recommendations too. So if you have any favorites that I haven’t listed yet, always be sure to leave a comment with the author & title so other readers can see your recommendations too!! HAPPY READING!!!!!!!! 😀

Edit in October 2016

BREAKING NEWS: I’m so excited to announced that the Aestas Book Database (“BookDB”) has launched!! It features over 4000 books, 850 authors, 800 series, and 215 lists of books in every category I could think of!

BookDB is basically an extension Aestas Book Blog that provides a personalized and custom-designed book-themed search engine, tailored lists of books in specific categories, an innovative advanced search feature, categorized lists of books, and an interconnected network of books, authors, and series. This site is different from sites like Goodreads or Amazon because the books here have all been carefully and individually selected by me (Aestas) as ones I think sound good, or that I’ve personally read and loved. This all started because I get asked so many times each day by readers, “Hey, do you remember that book where…” or “What was that book that had a….” etc and while I love answering these questions, I also wanted to build a search enging that would help readers find the specific books they were searching for faster, accurately, and easily. So, the Aestas Book Database was designed and launched!

Ready to try it??

PS: I’m going to leave the old lists active in case you wanted to still use them. So they’re all linked down below…

Special Announcement — CARNAGE #2 is LIVE!!!!!

June 30, 2014 by Aestas · 1 Comment

OMG. It’s here!!!!!

Carnage #2 just went live early!!!! This is the highly anticipated sequel to one of my favorite books of the year, Carnage, and I’m so excited that I just had to make a special announcement post!!!

Carnage #1 was a totally gut-wrenching love story spanning 2 decades. Unconventional & completely rule breaking in every way but I still LOVED it and can’t wait to start reading Carnage #2!!!!

“I was eleven years old, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was staring into the eyes of the boy I was going to love forever.” … then he grew up to be a famous rock star.

Buy CARNAGE #1 (read this first)
Buy CARNAGE #2 (just released!!)

And, here’s my 5 STAR review of Carnage #1.

The Emi Lost & Found Series by Lori Otto

May 8, 2014 by Aestas · 5 Comments

I recently fell in love with this amazing series and have put together a series recommendations page here for you along with a glimpse at the gorgeous new series covers!!

As a whole, the Emi Lost & Found series is a beautifully written, powerful, and unforgettable love story that made me feel every possible emotion. This is a story that will stay in my heart forever.

During my read, I cried almost harder than I’d ever cried over a book before, I laughed, I felt love, loss, confusion, anger, betrayal, elation, relief… pretty much everything.

The author calls this an atypical romance and I totally understand why. It’s an unconventional story in every way. It steps outside the box, it defies the norm, and it comes out on top. It put my heart through the ringer but having finished it now, I can tell you that this is one of the best stories I have ever read.

The review has a spoiler free beginning and a hidden section after with spoilers in case you prefer to know the story in advance. It’s totally up to you!

While each book can be purchased separately, it is my recommendation to buy the series bundle which has the prequel, all 3 main novels, and 2 bonus short stories included in it.

Paperbacks of all books will be coming soon, but the books are also available for purchase separately on Kindle at these links:

“TAKE A CHANCE” GIVEAWAY + “ONE MORE CHANCE” COVER REVEAL!!

April 11, 2014 by Aestas · 120 Comments

I have a new GIVEAWAY for you!!! The publishers are offering you a chance to win a paperback copy of TAKE A CHANCE to celebrate the cover reveal of the sequel, ONE MORE CHANCE (see below)!! So, just scroll down to the bottom of the post and enter the Rafflecopter…… 😀

❤ ONE MORE CHANCE ❤

Release date: September 2, 2014

If you haven’t read Take A Chance yet,
then don’t read this blurb and skip below to the giveaway!!

In Take A Chance, #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines gave us the story of Grant, who first captured the hearts of new adult readers in Fallen Too Far, and Harlow, the woman who stole his own. Now comes One More Chance…

Grant Carter did everything in his power to convince Harlow Manning that he was a good guy. More than a smooth-talker. Someone she could trust. He had to overcome his reputation as a playboy, and his history with Harlow’s half-sister, Nan, a woman with a reputation of her own.

Harlow had taken the chance, falling fast and hard for the man who thrilled her with his all-consuming desire. After a lifetime of avoiding bad boys like Grant, she had opened herself to the possibilities of love…

But a life-changing secret has torn them apart, and now both must decide if they have enough fight to make it work—or if the pain of betrayal has permanently destroyed their future.
