Bonus Action Adult Romance Picks for August 2024
Haunted Ever After by Jen DeLuca
- Publisher: Penguin
- Length: 352 Pages
- Release Date: August 13, 2024
I’m a huge fan of Jen Deluca from her Well Met series of Renaissance Faire Romances. This is her first new book outside of that series, and I can’t wait to see the new world she’ll create! In Haunted Ever After, Cassie relocates to small-town Boneyard Key only to discover something strange about her new house. She teams up with local coffeeshop owner Nick to try and unravel the mystery of her new haunted home… only to discover there might be a spark of magic between them as well.
Amazon: $18.99
How to Charm a Nerd by Katherine Garbera
- Publisher: Afterglow Books
- Length: 288 Pages
- Release Date: August 20, 2024
When the tagline for a romance includes the words “Dungeons & Dragons” you already know I’m there. But in case you need more convincing (for some reason), let’s break down the synopsis. Liberty is a tarot reader who’s been feeling a bit off lately, and she decides she might need to recruit sexy nerd Merle Rutland to help. Dungeons & Dragons campaigns also appear to factor in, though I confess it’s not super clear how based on the synopsis. Witches meet D&D nerds, though? I’m in.
Amazon: $12.99
Marriage & Masti by Nisha Sharma
- Publisher: Avon
- Length: 384 Pages
- Release Date: August 27, 2024
Nisha Sharma’s Marriage & Masti is a Shakespeare-inspired friends-to-lovers rom-com. It’s part of her If Shakespeare Were an Auntie series but can be read as a standalone – which is great news, because this book has it all. Accidental wedding, fake dating, and plenty of drama – all with a Twelfth Night-inspired feel.
Amazon: $18.99
Magical Meet Cute by Jean Meltzer
- Publisher: MIRA
- Length: 397 Pages
- Release Date: August 27, 2024
This book from Jean Meltzer has a premise so wild, that it just might work. Faye Kaplan has retired from legal life to become a potter in Woodstock, New York. She’s happy enough alone, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t interested in finding love. When a failed event at her synagogue is quickly followed by anti-Semitic flyers, she drunkenly crafts a golem protector… who happens to share a few traits with her ideal man. Only then, a mysterious, hot stranger shows up, gets hit by a bike, and loses his memory. Is he for real, or did Faye somehow summon an actual golem?
Amazon: $18.99
