About The Seemingly Impossible Love Life of Amanda Dean: A queer love story told in a series of flashbacks, starting from the self-described bi-disaster’s wedding day, and moving back and forth in time through her past relationships as our heroine discovers herself and readers discover who finally won her heart. 

Nothing is more romantic than a wedding. At least that’s what Amanda Dean would say; although I’m sure her best friend would disagree. Regardless, if the couple elopes or plans the perfect day down to the pink peonies tied with gold ribbon (looking at you Mandy) no one can refute that weddings—good or bad—always have a flair for the dramatics. So let’s take a look at some sensational wedding romances (that also have queer characters) that you need to make sure are on your TBR.

The Lovers by Rebekah Faubion

Full disclosure, Rebekah and I are published with the same imprint and our release dates are a week apart so we were destined to be bffs, and I couldn’t have a list about weddings without this wonderful second chance romance.

If Kit Larson believes one thing, it’s that the cards never lie. She’s seen it proven time and time again as a tarot reader and mystic influencer. But unfortunately the cards didn’t warn her about her most recent breakup or her parents’ divorce, so when Kit is offered a gig at another influencer’s boho-chic Joshua Tree wedding she accepts for the distraction. And distract it does when she finds out her high school crush, Julia, is the wedding planner.

Julia Kelley is her agency’s most sought-after wedding planner, and for a good reason—she’s a perfectionist. Control means never showing others the vulnerable, blobby mess she really is deep down inside. Having an ex-girlfriend in the bridal party is a problem, sure, but reconnecting with the beautiful tarot reader who broke her heart as a teenager is so much worse.

Kit’s cards once told her that she and Julia were Twin Flames, two halves of the same soul. With wedding events pushing them together, their spark reignites . . . and so does a chance at being lovers.

Delilah Green Doesn’t Care by Ashley Herring Blake

This enemies to lovers has all the tension and then some, so when this couple finally gets together you will need a cold shower.

Delilah Green swore she would never go back to Bright Falls—nothing is there for her but memories of a lonely childhood where she was little more than a burden to her cold and distant stepfamily. Her life is in New York, with her photography career finally gaining steam and her bed never empty. Sure, it’s a different woman every night, but that’s just fine with her.

When Delilah’s estranged stepsister, Astrid, pressures her into photographing her wedding with a guilt trip and a five-figure check, Delilah finds herself back in the godforsaken town that she used to call home. She plans to breeze in and out, but then she sees Claire Sutherland, one of Astrid’s stuck-up besties, and decides that maybe there’s some fun (and a little retribution) to be had in Bright Falls, after all.
 
Having raised her eleven-year-old daughter mostly on her own while dealing with her unreliable ex and running a bookstore, Claire Sutherland depends upon a life without surprises. And Delilah Green is an unwelcome surprise…at first. Though they’ve known each other for years, they don’t really know each other—so Claire is unsettled when Delilah figures out exactly what buttons to push. When they’re forced together during a gauntlet of wedding preparations—including a plot to save Astrid from her horrible fiancé—Claire isn’t sure she has the strength to resist Delilah’s charms. Even worse, she’s starting to think she doesn’t want to…

The Fiancé Farce by Alexandria Bellefleur

Fake dating is an extreme sport when the main characters in this book announce their (fake) engagement.

Tansy Adams’ greatest love is her family’s bookstore, passed down from her late father. But when it comes to actual romance… Tansy can’t get past the first chapter. Tired of her stepfamily’s questions about her love life, Tansy invents Gemma, a fake girlfriend inspired by the stunning cover model on a bestselling book. They’ll never actually meet, so what’s the harm in a little fib? Yet when real-life Gemma crosses Tansy’s path, her white lie nearly implodes.

Gemma van Dalen is a wild child, the outcast of her wealthy family, and now the latest heir to Van Dalen Publishing. But the title comes with one tiny condition: she must be married in order to inherit. When Gemma discovers a beautiful stranger has been pretending to date her for months, she decides to take the charade one step further—and announces their engagement.

Gemma needs a wife to meet the terms of her grandfather’s will and Tansy needs money to save her struggling bookstore. A marriage could be mutually beneficial, if they can fool everyone into thinking it’s a love match. Unexpected sparks fly as Tansy and Gemma play the role of affectionate fiancées, and suddenly the line between convenient arrangement and real feelings begins to blur. But the scheming Van Dalen family won’t give up the company without a fight, and Gemma and Tansy’s newfound happiness might get caught in the fallout…

Husband Material by Alexis Hall

In the first book they pretended to fall in love and then actually did, now the pressure to walk down the aisle is strong, but will they make it?

Wanted:
One (very real) husband
Nowhere near perfect but desperately trying his best

In BOYFRIEND MATERIAL, Luc and Oliver met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends…and somehow figured out a way to make it work. Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc’s feeling the social pressure to propose. But it’ll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a bowl full of special curry to get these two from I don’t know what I’m doing to I do.

Good thing Oliver is such perfect HUSBAND MATERIAL.

Love at First Set by Jennifer Dugan

Ruining a wedding by inadvertently telling the bride to leave the groom is one thing, falling for the bride is another. Oh the drama!!  

The gym is Lizzie’s life–it’s her passion, her job, and the only place that’s ever felt like home. Unfortunately, her bosses consider her a glorified check-in girl at best, and the gym punching bag at worst.

When their son, Lizzie’s best friend, James, begs her to be his plus one at his perfect sister Cara’s wedding, things go wrong immediately, and culminate in Lizzie giving a drunken pep talk to a hot stranger in the women’s bathroom–except that stranger is actually the bride-to-be, and Lizzie has accidentally convinced her to ditch her groom.

Now, newly directionless Cara is on a quest to find herself, and Lizzie–desperate to make sure her bosses never find out her role in this fiasco–gets strong-armed by James into “entertaining” her. Cara doesn’t have to know it’s a setup; it’ll just be a quick fling before she sobers up and goes back to her real life. After all, how could someone like Cara fall for someone like Lizzie, with no career and no future?

But the more Lizzie gets to know Cara, the more she likes her, and the bigger the potential disaster if any of her rapidly multiplying secrets get out. Because now it’s not just Lizzie’s job and entire future on the line, but also the girl of her dreams.

No Rings Attached by Rachel Lacey

When you don’t have a date to your brother’s wedding, just ask your best friend to set you up—what the worst that could happen? Who knows maybe you’ll even fall in love.

Lia Harris is tired of being the odd one out. She’s never quite fit in with her uptight family, and now that her roommates have all found love, she’s starting to feel like a third wheel in her own apartment. Fed up with her mother’s constant meddling in her love life, Lia drops hints about a girlfriend she doesn’t have.

But with her brother’s London nuptials approaching, she needs to find a date to save face. Lia turns to her best friend, Rosie, for help, and Rosie delivers—with the fun, gorgeous Grace Poston.

Grace loves to have a good time, hiding her insecurities behind a sunny smile. Her recent move to London has provided her with a much-needed fresh start. Grace isn’t looking for love, and she hates weddings, having weathered more than her fair share of heartache. Friendships are different, though, so for Rosie’s sake, she reluctantly agrees to pose as Lia’s adoring girlfriend for the wedding festivities.

Both Grace and Lia are prepared for an awkward weekend, complete with prying family members and a guest room with only one bed. As it turns out, they get along well—spectacularly, in fact. Before they know it, the chemistry they’re faking feels all too real. But is their wedding weekend a fleeting performance or the rehearsal for a love that’s meant to last?

Kiss Her Once for Me by Alison Cochrun

Fake engagements aren’t easy especially when you fall for your fake fiancé’s sister—now pair this with a holiday romance and this charming story really has it all. Watch out Hallmark.  

One year ago, recent Portland transplant Ellie Oliver had her dream job in animation and a Christmas Eve meet-cute with a woman at a bookstore that led her to fall in love over the course of a single night. But after a betrayal the next morning and the loss of her job soon after, she finds herself adrift, alone, and desperate for money.

Finding work at a local coffee shop, she’s just getting through the days—until Andrew, the shop’s landlord, proposes a shocking, drunken plan: a marriage of convenience that will give him his recent inheritance and alleviate Ellie’s financial woes and isolation. They make a plan to spend the holidays together at his family cabin to keep up the ruse. But when Andrew introduces his new fiancée to his sister, Ellie is shocked to discover it’s Jack—the mysterious woman she fell for over the course of one magical Christmas Eve the year before. Now, Ellie must choose between the safety of a fake relationship and the risk of something real.

About Haunt Your Heart Out: A dashing ghost hunter and the bookseller who made up the ghosts he’s chasing wind up entangled in more ways than one in this steamy contemporary romance from the author of Text Appeal, perfect for fans of Ashley Poston and Chloe Liese. This not-quite-ghost-story is sure to delight Gilmore Girls fans and anyone who loves flirty romances with a little extra spirit.

I’m going to make enemies for this, but I’m not a summer person. New England, especially my home state of Vermont, is pret-ty famous for its crisp fall days and loads of wintertime snowfall (aka the perfect weather). Summers around here bring buzzing mosquitoes and gross humidity—and lots of it. I’m more of a crunchy leaves and 40 degrees kind of person, forever stuck in that Gilmore Girls state of mind.

During the summer, you can’t snuggle up by a roaring fireplace after skiing or snowshoeing. But, when mornings start with frosted windowpanes, you’ve got the perfect set-up for a romantic cuddle. And how about the fashion opportunities? With cooler weather, out come the hats, scarves, jackets, boots, and, of course, sweaters. Harry’s cable-knit sweater in When Harry Met Sally, Kathleen Kelly’s turtlenecks and sweater dresses in You’ve Got Mail, the plaid flannels that appear in every small-town romance movie ever? It’s official: Sweaters = Romance.

The range for “sweater weather” temperatures is broad and varies by region, but most people would probably appreciate an extra layer before the thermometer hits 55. What’s not to love about pulling on a chunky knit sweater (or baggy sweatshirt; all extra layers count here!), sliding your feet into fuzzy slippers, and lighting a few apple-scented candles? Add a cozy book to the mix and you’ve got a perfect way to spend your day.

Instead of Beach Reads, here’s my list of Sweater Weather Reads: A round-up of the coziest books to keep you warm throughout the ‘Ber months—September through December, or as I like to think of it: Peak Sweater Season. I’ve included some fantastic new romance releases and a handful of favorite comfort reads from years past.

That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberley Lemming

Banter, comedy, vibes that feel like they’ve been plucked right out a swoony D&D campaign—and plenty of spice to keep you warm no matter how chilly it gets outside. I’m a side-quester through and through, and this book filled that specific joy-seeking part of my nerdy little heart.

Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake

Second chance romance, during the holidays, surrounded by lovely found family and towering snowbanks? Make the Season Bright is as cozy as it gets—just add a fuzzy blanket and hot cocoa for a heartfelt escape.

Prime Time Romance by Kate Robb

Remember when new seasons of our favorite shows would air starting in September? That summerlong build-up waiting for the resolution to whatever cliffhanger they left us with the spring before? Prime Time Romance offers all the vibes of our favorite comfort watches and makes up for every series finale we’ve ever been denied—and what’s cozier than that?

All I Want Is You by Falon Ballard

Christmas Sweater Weather is a very specific tier of cozy. I love it when holiday romance characters get snowed in—it might be my favorite iteration of forced proximity trope—and All I Want Is You delivers those delicious vibes alongside a bookish second-chance romance.

Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliot

This one’s got all the holiday movie vibes we sweater-clad romance lovers seek! Love You a Latke is set in a Vermont town (+1 sweater-weather point!) where a café owner is tasked with planning a Hanukkah festival—add fake dating and forced proximity for a cozy treat perfect for sweater weather.

The View from the Top by Rachel Lacey

I’m stacking this list with Vermont-set novels because the setting instantly ups the coziness, and The View from the Top is no exception. Come for the cozy setting and one-night-only meet cute, stay for the hope and healing.

The Teller of Small Fortunes by Julie Leong

Books that feel like hugs are a sweater weather staple, and The Teller of Small Fortunes has been added to my rotation of favorite comforting books. It’s such a warm and lovely read, perfect for when the temperature dips and snow dusts the ground overnight.

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones

I credit this book for sparking my love of all things fantasy. It was an up-after-bedtime, flashlight-beneath-the-covers kind of book. My original copy is missing the back cover and chunks of pages are taped back inside where they belong. Everything about this one is cozy: The ridiculously lovable characters, the whimsical setting, the magical mishaps—but the coziest of all are my memories of falling completely in love with fantasy during my very first read.

Haunt Your Heart Out by Amber Roberts

I crammed so much comfort into this feel-good small-town romance. We’ve got sleigh rides, snowy evenings, crackling fireplaces, the silliest dog, ghost hunting, a creaky old bookstore, and found family, swirled all together like the pumpkin spice in your latte. While writing Haunt Your Heart Out, I was craving sweater weather and books that felt like hugs, so I poured those wants onto the page to create a sorta-spooky, totally cozy book that’s a bit like curling up on the couch beneath a fuzzy plaid blanket while snow falls outside.

The post Nine “Sweater Weather” Book Recommendations appeared first on The Nerd Daily.

Intrigued? Well read on to discover the synopsis and an excerpt from Chapter 4 of Rachel Lacey’s Stars Collide, which is out May 2nd.

Eden Sands has been a star for twenty years, but it’s lonely at the top. Her mediocre marriage just ended, and her inner circle is smaller than ever. The stage is the only place she’s ever felt like she truly belonged, and yet, her last album flopped, and her upcoming tour hasn’t sold out. Eden’s desperate for her star to shine bright again, but when her team suggests a collaboration with an up-and-coming young star to give her a boost, she balks.

Anna Moss is pop music’s rising star. She’s idolized Eden Sands for most of her life—so it’s a dream come true when she’s invited to perform with her at the Grammys. Anna’s tired of being defined by her bubbly persona. She wants to be taken seriously as an artist, and a duet with Eden could be just what she needs.

As Anna and Eden rehearse, they soon realize they have more in common than their musical talents. Now they just have to decide if what is between them is a one-hit wonder or the making of a romance worthy of one of the greatest love songs of all time.

Eden lifted the microphone from its stand as she turned to face Anna. The spotlight engulfed them, making Anna’s eye shadow sparkle. Tonight, she wore a deep-blue princess-style gown, modeled after a dress Eden had worn for one of her first live performances, and she looked so beautiful. Eden’s gaze traced her face to the delicate curve of her neck and down to the swell of her breasts.

“I kick off my heels,” Anna sang, kicking one of her feet up in the air.

That was Eden’s cue. She began to sing, stepping in front of Anna to illustrate her struggle with her younger self. The lights shifted, partially illuminating the audience. Vegas crowds weren’t her favorite. The seats in the first few rows were generally reserved by the casino to give out as freebies to the high rollers, so she tended to see a lot of bored people up front who had no real interest in her music.

Tonight, she glimpsed a lot of senior citizens in the first few rows, and while some of them were actively watching the show, most of them were focused on snacks or even their phones. Behind them, several younger fans held up a hot-pink sign, and Eden shielded her eyes with her hand to read it.

#EDANNA4EVER

Oh. Eden turned away as Anna stepped beside her to begin the next chorus. She caught Eden’s eye with another one of those radiant smiles, and Eden’s stomach fizzed with something strange, like electricity surging through her, like . . . sparks. Oh God, was this what people meant when they said they felt sparks?

Heat swept through her body. Anna twirled, and Eden’s stomach sparked again. She pressed a hand against it reflexively. Her gaze focused on Anna’s calves as the skirt flared, and drifted up to the curve of her waist. Then she was staring at Anna’s breasts again. Everywhere she looked, she was noticing Anna’s body. What was happening to her? Eden had never . . . she didn’t . . .

Anna was in front of her now, giving Eden a funny look, and oh God, she’d missed her cue. What was her next line? She spun, desperately searching for something, anything to orient herself, and then Anna’s hand was on her arm. Eden remembered earlier that evening, watching Captain Marvel together in her bed, the way Anna’s hair had tickled her arm.

Anna was singing Eden’s line, covering for her. Her hand was so warm, and . . .

Eden sucked in a breath, closing her eyes for a moment as she pulled herself together. Then she gave Anna a grateful smile as she took over, singing the next line. Eden turned to face the audience, fixing her gaze on an empty seat several rows back, a safe focal point as she channeled herself into the music.
