The Bodyguard by Katherine Center

I just recently finished this one and it is so, so cute and fun! It is such a sweet story about finding love and true connections in the most unexpected circumstance. Filled with fake dating, quirky characters, and so much heart, you do not want to skip this one!

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

This book is such a unique and memorable read. The premise involves two teenagers falling in love over the course of one day, but that simplified summary does not even begin to describe the beauty that is found in The Sun is Also a Star. It’s so much more than insta-love and shallow romance. It’s a reminder how each decision we make can change our life and the lives of those around us. It’s an absolutely beautiful, quick read.

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers

This book is quite popular, and at times controversial, in the Christian fiction genre. Regardless of your religious beliefs, I do think anyone looking for an emotional and romantic read will enjoy Redeeming Love. The parallels to the biblical book, Hosea, are so beautiful and the story itself is gripping, romantic, and unforgettable. It has quickly become one of my favorite historical, romance reads.

The Do-Over by Lynn Painter

I’m currently in the middle of this one, and it has been such an enjoyable read. The Do-Over actually takes place on Valentine’s Day, too, so it really is a perfect choice. The main character, Emilie, has a horrible Valentine’s Day and ends up having to relive it over and over again and again! I’m such a sucker for time loop stories like this one, so I have thoroughly been enjoying this sweet read and cannot wait to see how it ends!

Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell

There’s a reason why Gone with the Wind is considered such a classic. This book may be long but there’s not one dull moment. I wouldn’t exactly consider the romance in this book healthy (lol) but it sure is entertaining to read. If you’re looking for a book to be swept away in, feel every emotion possible, and consume every free moment you have this Valentine’s Day, this one is definitely the book for you!
