Romance

Romance Reads
From heart fluttering first loves to stories of lasting connections, these books bring all the feels. Perfect for a cosy escape when you’re not travelling.

Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

Mrs Dalloway isn’t a typical romance—it’s more about memories of love and the choices people make. Clarissa thinks about her past with Peter and even her feelings for her friend Sally, and you see how different kinds of love shape her life.

It’s slow and not lovey-dovey like modern romance books, but it shows how powerful emotions and regrets can be. It’s more about thinking about love than actually living it.

Promise Me Sunshine by Cara Bastone

I didn’t expect this one to hit me so hard. It’s about Lenny, still grieving her best friend, who ends up nannying for a widower and slowly fins herself healing too. It’s tender and quietly powerful the kind of romance that sneaks up on you and lingers after you’ve closed the book.

Consider Yourself Kissed by Jessica Stanley

This felt like such a refreshing read funny, sharp and grounded. It follows an Australian copywriter who falls for a single dad and their banter had me smiling the whole way through. It’s sweet, witty and real exactly the kind of romance i love picking up between travels.
