Do these hot summer temperatures have you hiding out at home to beat the heat? If you’re looking for a good read that will rival the heat outdoors, try one of these steamy romances!

And if you really don’t want to leave the house, links to the titles on Hoopla and Overdrive have been included as well! I’ve highlighted my top read, and it’s definitely not one to miss…
If you’re a fan of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette then I feel like One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London is a must read. This book centers on this romantic reality show called “Main Squeeze,” which is obviously very much inspired by The Bachelorette. Our main character Bea is a plus size fashion blogger who publicly criticizes the show for not having more diverse body types among the contestants. Then, the show asks her to be the star of the next season, and 25 men are selected to fight for her attention and date her. Bea agrees, on one condition–under no circumstances will she actually fall in love. She’s in this to supercharge her career, subvert harmful anti-fat beauty standards, inspire women across America, and get a free hot air balloon ride. That’s it. But of course, things never quite work out as planned!
