Love is in the air, and Valentine’s Day is just around the corner— so let’s talk about romance! Romance books, that is. Think conflict, mixed communication, and drama mixed with a centralized love and happy endings. Romance may not be for everyone, but that doesn’t mean you should judge a book, and in this case, a lady, by their cover. Try something amorous, fanciful, or steamy pulled straight from our shelves!
