Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday topic:
Favorite Friends to Lovers Romance
Once again, I'm going rogue. This week's topic is actually Books I Would Hand to Someone Who Doesn't Like to Read. Well, those are not my people so I can't be bothered. 😆
Instead, I'm going to share some of my favorite friends to lovers romance. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes (enemies to lovers is not my jam) and I love the comfort level and familiarity that exists between the characters before they start questioning their relationship and moving beyond the realm of friendship.
Josh & Hazel's Guide to Not Dating - Christina Lauren
Wait for You - Jennifer L. Armentrout
The One for You - Roni Loren
Heartland - Sarina Bowen
Blurred Lines - Lauren Layne
Him - Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy
Addicted to You - Krista & Becca Ritchie
Keeping Him - Kennedy Fox
Brooklynaire - Sarina Bowen
Queen Move - Kennedy Ryan

Have you read any of these books?
Friends to lovers can be so good when done right - I'll have to check some of these out!
ReplyDeleteIf I see friends to lovers mentioned as a trope in a book, I'm immediately interested. :)
DeleteI like this theme in a book. Thanks for sharing your favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, it's one of my favorite tropes.
DeleteI went rogue today too! Great list of friends to lovers 😍 A few of these are on my TBR but I adored Josh and Hazel, and HIM was just absolute F-I-R-E! Loved it ❤️
ReplyDeleteHim is one of my all-time favorites! I very rarely reread but I've reread that one (and Us) countless times. :)
DeleteMY FAVORITE TROPE!!! AND I see three of my faves up there - Blurred Lines, Josh & Hazel, and Brooklynaire were standouts. I enjoyed many of the others as well. A recent favorite was When Sparks Fly. I never tire of friends-to-more
ReplyDeleteYes! Friends to lovers for the win! It's almost impossible to pick a favorite from the Brooklyn series, but Brooklynaire is right up there.
DeleteOK, totally bookmarking this. I love good romance books!

Happy TTT!

Thanks for stopping by, Lori!
DeleteFriends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes, too. And I love the title of that Christina Lauren book. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy TTT this week: https://bookwyrmknits.com/2021/11/02/top-ten-tuesday-books-for-reluctant-readers/
Funny title and a funny book. :)
DeleteI love this trope, too! You included some of my favorites! Him might be my all time favorite of this trope. But then there's Addicted to You...and Blurred Lines..and...Gosh, I could go on and on. Great topic!
ReplyDeleteWe definitely share a lot of favorites. :) But Him is extra-special.
DeleteI think its hilarious how you go rogue on this meme post haha Yeah I don't even try to recommend books to those that don't read because it seems pointless.
ReplyDeleteI do adore friends to lovers trope.
Exactly. If someone doesn't care to read, why try to convince them otherwise? I'm sure they have their own hobbies they enjoy and I wouldn't want them forced on me.
DeletePersonally, I think I prefer enemies to lovers... IF done right. I'm not sure what that says about me! This is my list of books I'd recommend to a non-reader!
ReplyDeleteEnemies to lovers seems even more popular than friends to lovers.
DeleteI do love enemies to lovers, but friends to lovers is so amazing as well! I read and LOVED Him and Josh and Hazel and I definitely want to try the other books on your list!
ReplyDeleteJosh & Hazel was so much fun. I smiled my way all through that book.
DeleteGreat twist this week! Love this trope, too. Although, I tend to love ALL the tropes. ;) I've read and enjoyed Josh & Hazel and Queen Move. I've read the first book in The Ones Who Got Away series. I need to continue with it. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the whole series but that first book remained my favorite.
DeleteBahahaha - you are not my friend if you don't read!
ReplyDeleteI loved Josh & Hazel soooooo much. And Him!
Karen @For What It's Worth
Seriously, though... what's with those non-readers? LOL
DeleteI love friends to lovers romance too. And these books look great. I've only read The One For You by Roni Loren. Looks like I have to update my TBR again. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI really loved that whole series by Roni Loren but the first was my favorite. :)
DeleteGoing rogue is fun--you did a good job!
ReplyDeleteSome enemies to lovers can be good. But it is nice to see a friendship grow and blossom into something more.

I love new couples to have that comfort level between them.
DeleteJosh and Hazel and Brooklynaire are two favorites! Love! Great list here, Tanya!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few years since I read Josh & Hazel but Brooklynaire is much fresher in mind since I just read it over the summer. Loved that one!
DeleteI do love friends to lovers. Him and Heartland were both great books!
ReplyDeleteAgree, Carole! Him is one I've re-read time and time again.
Delete"Well, those are not my people so I can't be bothered." LMAO! Love it. I love a good friends to lovers romance too. Josh & Hazel is the only one from your list I've read so far but I really want to read that Lauren Layne book and Wait for You.
ReplyDeleteWait for You is such an all-time favorite. One of the few I've ever re-read. Cam goes down in the book boyfriend hall of fame. :)
DeleteGood to know! I just found it on Scribd so it's definitely going on my TBR. :)
DeleteYay! :)
Delete"I can't be bothered" lol. True. Friends to lovers is fun though. Josh & Hazel looks good!
ReplyDeleteJosh & Hazel was such a fun read.
DeleteI'd include all Christina Lauren books on the list.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
My TTT: https://readwithstefani.com/ten-old-favorite-books-i-want-to-reread-to-determine-if-theyre-all-time-favorites/
So true, Stefani. They're great at the friends to lovers trope.
DeleteI have read Queen Move and am adding some more to my list! :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved Queen Move! That was friends to lovers at its best.
DeleteLOVE your topic! And LOL - "Those are not my people." I need to reread Josh & Hazel - so very good!
ReplyDeleteThat would be such a fun reread!
DeleteI love both enemies and friends to lovers lol. Wait for You is such a great friends to lovers romance!
ReplyDeleteWait For You is one of my all-time faves!
Delete"those are not my people so I can't be bothered" LMAO!!! I love, love, love Blurred Lines and Wait for YOu! I definitely need to read the rest of these though. :)

I think Blurred Lines was the first I ever from Lauren Layne, and is still my favorite from her. And Wait For You... all time favorite!! ♥
