Welcome To Romantic Reads Day!
You are cordially invited to the wedding of the decade, when Christian Grey will make Anastasia Steele his wife. But is he really husband material? His dad is unsure, his brother wants to organize one helluva bachelor party, and his fiancée won’t vow to obey… Their passion for each other burns hotter than ever, but Ana’s defiant spirit continues to stir Christian’s darkest fears and tests his need for control. As old rivalries and resentments endanger them both, one misjudgment threatens to tear them apart. Can Christian overcome his childhood nightmares, and save himself? Can Christian finally be freed?
We love a good love story, wherever they show up. The tension of the will-they, won’t-they, the satisfaction of seeing two people find each other, the drama of “Can they make it work?” — we’re here for it all. Accordingly, as we celebrate Romantic Reads Day, we’re looking at romance across genres. Manga with romance and mystery, check; love poetry, got that; cooking with a side of swoon, you bet! (Plus obligatory Bridgerton references, of course.) We’re even celebrating break-ups, because those are part of love stories too.
Whether you love a happy ending or unrequited love, angst or coziness, internal drama or external obstacles, or a bit of everything, we’ve got a romantic read for you.
