I want to give romance another try.
Okay, romance novels anyway.
Does anyone have any recommendations for good romance books with a FMC that is over 40, (preferably no kids), no love triangle? I‘m not feeling any angsty teen or young adult story. Any subgenre is fine. Oh, and spice is okay!
As this clip says “No! That is too specific!” 🤪

TiredLibrarian This isn't a traditional romance novel but it has protagonists who are 60+, no triangle, and minimal kids. I loved it and I'm not a big romance fan.A Forty Year Kiss 1mo
A Forty Year KissLarkken I remember liking the tagged! I liked that both MCs had careers they cared about, there was a nice holiday atmosphere with the meet cute... There is an adult child, but no caregiving. Hope it helps!Royal Holiday (The Wedding Date, #4) 1mo

Something WilderBette I remember this being fun, both older main characters join a role playing game…she thinks he‘s a teenage boy, he thinks she‘s as old as his grandmother…until they meet. ❤️🤣Role Playing 1mo
Role PlayingMaleficentBookDragon @Bette that does sound sweet. Stacked. Thanks! 1mo
Bookzombie This is not the age range, but there is no love triangle and it never felt like teen angst. Just a very steamy, sweet story. Also, not stressful.Cubs & Campfires 1mo

ChaoticMissAdventures @MaleficentBookDragon yay!! I hope you like it. 1mo
MaleficentBookDragon @Bookzombie this sounds cute and I love any book set at a camp or in the woods, though my picks are more slasher than romcom. (edited) 1mo
