There was a time when I thought there weren’t any good romance books on Kindle Unlimited. It was my first time getting a subscription to ku and I couldn’t find any good romance books on the featured lists. honestly, what a shame!
kindle unlimited is useful if you can’t afford to buy all the books you want to read and you gobble up books quickly. for a fixed price, you can borrow and read as many books as you want. you want. and that’s why I was so bummed out when I couldn’t find good romance books easily.

7. enemies abroad by r. yes gray
It’s simple: Noah Peterson and I are enemies. Our fellow teachers know it, our friends know it, even the starbucks drive-thru lady knows it, as every Monday she scribbles the name a. hole for me at noah’s cappuccino when I pick up the weekly group order. The high-pitched wail of the school bell heralds the start of each day’s no-holds-barred grudge match. Since none of us are looking to be fired or jailed, we wage war with our words and wits. we prefer jokes that bite. All day, I’m nervous, looking around every corner, hoping he’ll do the worst. Just when I think I can’t take my eyes off his (sadly) beautiful face for one more minute, the school day is over. Summer usually offers the sweetest relief, a two-month Noah detox, but not this year. “we need two volunteers to chaperone a group of eighth graders in rome” becomes a game of chicken that none of us is willing to lose. we both want that bonus check. “Back off,” I tell him. “afraid?” he scoffs. no one thinks it’s a good idea for us to go to rome together, least of all me. taking this battle abroad will only lead to chaos and misery.

jack and I did everything backwards. the day he lured me into her office, which was also the first day we met, he proposed to me. You would think that a guy who looks like him, a little cold maybe, but still flashy and very unattainable, would just ask the love of his life to marry him, right? one would think that he must be madly in love. No. it was me, he asked me him. a complete stranger who had never heard of him. a stranger who had been dumped by his fiancé only a few weeks before. you’d think he’d laugh in his face, call him crazy, and a few other names, and then leave as fast as he could. well… i did all those things except the leaving part. It took him only a few minutes to convince me of a business deal… erm, I mean marriage, and only a few days for us to officially get married. The happiest day of my life. magical. pop the champagne… no. it was the worst day. jack hawthorne was nothing like what he had imagined for me. I blamed him for my error in judgment. I blamed his eyes, the ocean blue eyes that stared unapologetically straight into mine, and that scowl on his face I had no idea he would eventually fascinate me so much. It wasn’t long after he said I was the biggest mistake of his life that things started to change. no, he still didn’t talk much, but anyone can put a few words together. his actions spoke louder for me. And day after day my heart began to have a mind of its own. a second was nobody. the next it became everything. a second was unattainable. the next it seemed to be completely mine. For a second I thought we were in love. the next it was still nothing but a lie. after all, i was rose and he was jack. we were doomed from the start with those names. did you expect anything else?

allie sutton just got a new job. not one she wants, and definitely not one she’s ready for. She hadn’t seen her father in years, so the last thing she expects after her sudden death is to inherit what he loved more than anything (or anyone)… the professional soccer team she loved. had for the last twenty years. luke pierson doesn’t want a new boss. what she wants is to be a good father to her daughter, the best possible quarterback for her teammates. what he doesn’t need is a blonde bombshell to ruin the team’s chances at another championship. especially when that bombshell turns out to be her new neighbor. the neighbor was a complete idiot from the first time they met. for the good of the team, they treat each other like complete professionals. in public, at least. Behind closed doors, it’s a different story. and the consequences of giving in to that heat is something neither of them can see coming.

24. single dad looking for juliet for max monroe
Dear Internet: Am I a horrible person for wanting to sabotage my job assignment (completely screw up a dating contest) because I hate the idea of love? I know it sounds bad, but just hear me out, in agreement? (33f) I work at a local newspaper, and two months ago, my editor assigned me a big project: to run the upcoming and highly anticipated Anonymous Singles contest. Essentially, I’m supposed to help out a bachelor nominated by readers. find his special someone, and while I should be excited to handle something of this magnitude alone, I can’t help but feel queasy at how gross it feels. how cheesy could this get? last person who should be involved in this: my dating and relationship history is a bunch. In general, the person in charge of these things shouldn’t fantasize about setting fire to the entire three-ring dating circus. Anyway, men from all over Southern California, vying for the coveted bachelor role, sent their personal ads to my paper. Readers voted, and Single Dad Looking for Juliet won by a landslide. anonymous bachelor (40m), single dad romeo looking for his julietblah, blah, blah, right? wrong. You guys, and I can’t stress this enough, this guy is the ultimate man in a goddamn six-foot-three adonis pack, with chiseled muscles and aquamarine eyes that would haunt an insomniac’s dreams. he’s a former navy seal, successful business owner, motocross racer, charming, supportive, funny single dad, and the more time I spend with him, the more I want to make this contest fall apart for a whole different reason. >real talk: I think I’m falling for him.I, the woman who despises love, could be falling for the completely off-limits bachelor whom I’ve ironically been assigned to help find love, while others five women believe they are the only contestants vying for his heart. then internet. am i scum? or is all fair in love and war?
When I started this book, I didn’t expect it to be as nice and cute as it turned out! the synopsis sounds quite corny but the love story flows very well. the book is funny, interesting and entertaining.

25. brutal prince by sophie lark
he is not a prince charming… callum griffin is the heir to the irish mafia. he is ruthless, arrogant and wants to kill me. we got off on the wrong foot when I lit a (very small) fire in his house. our families believe that a marriage covenant is the only thing that will prevent all-out war. I think I might need to kill him in his sleep. this would all be so much easier if callum wasn’t so damn handsome. but I have a safe around my heart. Because even if I am forced to marry him… I could never love a brutal prince.
I never thought I’d love a mob romance so much, but the brutal prince defied my expectations. if you want a romance that also involves a lot of politics, danger, and action, this is for you.
quick selling points:
- literally from enemies to lovers.
- mafia romance.
- lots of action.
- a+ chemistry.

26. cocky outfit by vi keeland and penelope ward
It started like any other morning on the train. until I was mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle. he was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world. Who does the cocky suit think he is? … god? actually, he looked like a god. that was it. when the stop came for him, he suddenly got up and left. so all of a sudden, he dropped his phone on the way out. she could have picked it up. he could have gone through all the pictures of him and called some of the numbers. I could have kept the mystery man’s phone for days, until I finally worked up the courage to return it. when I walked my butt across town into his elegant company, he refused to see me. So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office. however, she did not expect him to reply to the text message. I didn’t expect our exchanges to be as hot as hell. it hadn’t been more different. however, you know what they say about opposites. when we finally meet face to face, we discover that opposites sometimes do more than attract each other: we consumed each other. nothing could have prepared me for the journey he took me on and I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I would end up when the journey was over. all good things must come to an end, right? except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.
This pair of authors never stops delivering fast and exciting romance books. the cocky suit is definitely one of the best (that I’ve read about).
quick selling points:
- grumpy x sunshine romance.
- epistolary romance.
- addictive to read.
- hot.

30. the prostitute and the hermit of l. h. cosway and penny reid
new york’s best blogs like *la socialmedialite*April 22, ladies and gentlemen! I have an announcement! Do you know the guy I mentioned on my blog a few months ago? The really hot Irish rugby player who plays the role of ‘prostitute’ in the RLI (international rugby league)? The one with anger management issues, the body of a gladiator, and the face of a movie star? the one with questionable fashion choices that lead me to ask if he was the son of a goblin and a hobbit. ronan fitzpatrick? yes, that guy. Well, I have a confession to make… the hermit annie catrel, social media expert extraordinaire at davidson & croft media and underground celebrity blogger, she can make anyone shine in the court of public opinion. She is the social medialite, anonymous creator of the best of New York and the darling of the Internet. virtual reality is annie’s forte, but real reality? Not so much.hookerronan fitzpatrick, aka the best hooker the rugby world has seen in decades, despises the media, social or otherwise. the press has spun a web of lies depicting him as the wild and reckless bad boy of rugby. Suspended from his team, Ronan has come to Manhattan to escape the drama, lay low, lay low. Only Ronan isn’t easy to miss, and he can’t escape the social media spotlight… the plan when Ronan is sent to Davidson & croft media to reshape her public image, he never expects to cross paths with the shy but beautiful annie, nor does he expect her fierce attraction to him. he couldn’t be happier when his boss suggests pairing them up. What measures will annie take to keep his virtual identity hidden? And what happens when the prostitute finds out who the hermit really is?
Let’s end the list on a better note with a book of consolation. the prostitute and the hermit is a low-key romance in which the characters meet and have a bit of a domestic life while pursuing their own dreams.

- double identity.
- introverted blogger main character.
