Romance Books Under 200 Pages To Add To Your TBR

Nov 12, 2024

Sometimes you just want a quick read that you can pick up and finish all in one sitting. One that is smutty and romantic but you still have fun reading. So today I thought I would share some of the books 200 pages and under that should be on your TBR. From contemporary romances to fantasy and little in between.

I know that sometimes I just want something quick to read. Whether it’s something to read in between books in a series, or I feel like I am falling into a slump and need something to keep me going. These short, snappy reads are perfect for that. A little note, I didn’t include novellas that are part of a series, but I have included the first book in a series if they are all nice and short. So let’s get into it. Here are the romance books under 200 pages that I think you should add to your tbr.

Thief (Sweet Little Sinners, #1) by Cassie Mint 64 Pages. | Theirs for the Night (The Thalanian Dynasty. #1) by Katee Robert – 73 Pages. | Grading Curves. by Naima Simone – 74 Pages. | Little Slice of Hell (Creature Cafe, #1) by Clio Evans – 87 Pages.

Me + Somebody’s Son: A Heights Story by Christina C. Jones – 94 Pages. | Breaching the Contract (Conflict of Interest, #1) by Chantal Fernando – 130 Pages. | The Risk (Mindf*ck, #1) by S.T. Abby. – 132 Pages. | Birthday Shot by Rilzy Adams – 181 Pages.

Muscles & Monsters (Leviathan Fitness, #1) by Ashley Bennett – 182 Pages. | The Mistletoe Motive by Chloe Liese – 185 Pages.

And there we go. Those are just of the books with less than 200 pages that I would recommend that you pick up. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading any of them soon? What are some of your favourite books that are under 200 pages? So let’s chat!

New-To-Me Authors I’ve Read In 2023 | Part 3

Sep 14, 2023

One of the things that I love about reading is trying new-to-me authors and last year I read quite a few of those. I have already read a good chunk this year, and we have a few more months to go. But I didn’t want to just read new-to-me authors, but I wanted to share them with you as well.

So I decided to start a series where I talk a little bit about the new-to-me authors I’ve been reading. You can check out part one and part two now. Reading authors that I haven’t read before is always daunting and exciting at the same time. I am so excited to try an author I haven’t read before. It’s always a risk, but so many times that risk pays off.

So let’s get right into it. Here are more of the new-to-me authors I’ve been reading in 2023. Sometimes I find them through recommendations and sometimes they just pop up as suggestions. And as always these are in no particular order.

Heather Renee: I had the chance to meet Heather earlier this year at BABE. And I knew I wanted to read a few of her books before the event. I ended up reading her Luna Marked series and enjoyed it quite a bit. I picked up a few of her books up from the event and cannot wait to dig in.

Emily Rath: Emily has been all over TikTok the last few months, and earlier this year I picked up That One Night and Pucking Around and enjoyed them. I have since picked up the next book in the series and plan on reading some of her historical fiction.

Angel Lawson and Samantha Rue: I’m including these two together because I’ve only read the books books they have written together. I really enjoyed their The Royals of Forsyth University series. I’ve read the first two completed series and plan to read the rest. They are dark, and sexy and sometimes just what I want.

Devyn Sinclair: This is another author that I picked up for an event. This time it was for RARE Melbourne at the start of the year. I knew I was going to like this author right away, and then I met her in person and she was just as nice. I’ve now Knot Your Damn Omega and Knot All that Glitters and I plan to read more.

Lana Ferguson: I read Lana’s first book The Nanny earlier this year. And while I didn’t love it. I still did enjoy it quite a bit. And I am so excited for her next book. It’s more my style and I think I am going to love it.

Sheridan Anne: Sheridan has been on my TBR for some time now and I was able to pick up some of her books at RARE and BABE. I read the first in her Kings of Denver series and plan to read more. I’m excited about her darker series too.

K. Loraine and Meg Anne: I have had an up-and-down reading experience with these two authors. I’ve now read the whole of the The Mate Games series. And while I did enjoy it, I didn’t love it. I do plan on reading more from these two. I just don’t know when exactly.

Odette Stone: Odette is another author who has been on my TBR for a while now. I finally picked Puck Me Secretly and had a fantastic time. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this series for sure. And maybe some of her other books.

And there we go. Those are some more of the new-to-me authors that I picked up so far in 2023. I had a good range of new-to-me authors that I picked up. I’m excited to read more from these authors and ready to read even more.

Have you read any of these authors? What did you think of them? Have you read any new-to-you authors this year? Let’s chat!
