I have a soft spot for September as well, mainly because I was born during this month. September for me is like a warm hug; it feels like I’m returning home. So, because of this, September book releases are special to me. As a reader — especially a romance reader — the changing of seasons, or more specifically the changing of months (because every month there are new books coming out!), means buying books. Personally, I try my hardest to read as many new releases as possible. But I know I miss a lot of them. I also enjoy a few backlist titles here and there, and let’s not even begin to talk about rereads. But I do try to enjoy new releases by debut authors or from all-time favorite authors. A new month means filling your house with more books, and that’s a fact. September is filled with so many amazing new releases, especially in the romance genre. You can have your pick, from fantasy romance with fae kings to academic rivals to lovers. There’s a wide selection of books to love and enjoy during this month! Amelia Rose, known as Rae Rose to her fans, decides that enough is enough. Burned out from years of maintaining her pop princess personality, she takes her car and drives to Rome, Kentucky. Maybe she could have a fun adventure just like Audrey in Roman Holiday. Instead, her car breaks down in front of Noah’s house, a pie baker who is too handsome for words. Amelia is there for two weeks until her car gets fixed. But when she starts to fall for the cozy town, and possibly even the grumpy pie maker, Amelia has to make tough choices that will change the course of her life. Now, five years later, Beatrice finds out that Jackson is her new next-door neighbor! It must be fate, right? Unfortunately, she soon realizes who Jackson really is. For Jess, one night wasn’t enough. With college behind her, they meet again and she’s ready to pay her debt. But games aren’t meant to last and maybe they want more from this than what they originally thought. Laroux mentions it’s not required to read The Dare, the prequel, but it’s highly recommended to do so. Personally, I say read it! Meet Gemma Daniels, who has been able to see ghosts for the better part of her life. She likes to help them settle their unresolved businesses in the world of living before they embark on the next part of their lives. Then, a handsome phantom approaches her, but this time he’s going to help her. If he does, he will be able to have a second chance at life! But he also has to never see Gemma again… When they start to fall for each other, complicating their goals further, Gemma and Levi must decide if risking everything is worth it if it means getting their happily ever after together. In The Make-Up Test, two college exes battle against each other — and their unresolved feelings — to win a coveted spot on a career-changing research trip. Competing against each other feels so natural, but if they start to fall for each other again, there might be some hard decisions they would need to make. The Holiday Trap follows two protagonists, Greta and Truman. Their lives are basically imploding, and they need a change of scenery as soon as possible. Enter their mutual friend, Ramona, and they suddenly decide on a house swap! Truman will go and take care of Greta’s many plants on her small Maine island, while Greta will travel to New Orleans and might be able to discover a community she feels included in. This fun holiday romance will keep you laughing, swooning, and most of all will provide comfort and warmth to your life. Isabella is on her way to her first day at her dream job. But she’s kinda running late. Instead of waiting in line for her drink order to be ready, Isabella grabs Amy’s cup after the barista yells “Amy” a good amount of times with no answer. (You can’t blame her! She was running late). But then, she has a meet-disaster with her new boss, and sparks fly…but he thinks her name is Amy. In Freya Grove, Lucinda has a perfect life. This magical seaside town where charms, spells, and magical beings live is the ideal place for her to live. But even though it is, Lucinda dreams, and wishes, for something more. Until one night, that wish turns into a spell and now Lucinda can’t say no! After a martini-and-lust-fueled night, she finds out she has married Caiden Verran, the reclusive billionaire who owns the hotel. But not only that! He’s also royalty — a fae king. Underneath Vegas lives an entire world of magical beings. She should run, but every night of passion with Caiden makes her want to stay and sin with him. One Heart is a queer paranormal romance novel where a nonbinary bartender falls for his coworker who swiftly melts the walls around his heart. But then he’s ghosted… until months later, Vincent reunites with Kit — by accidentally reviving him from his icy coffin. This necromancer/zombie romance novel is going to make you fall madly in love! The Decoy Girlfriend has a similar vibe as the movie in the way that writer Freya gets to be It-girl actress Mandi Roy for a month in order to shush rumors of a possible break up with co-star Taft.
