Hi, I'm 24M, and even though I've been reading for a while, I've never read any romance books. So this is something I'm trying to change this year.
I don't really have any preference for settings. The only petition I have is that it doesn't include a Love Triangle (Never really been a fan of those lol). I'd love a happy story about two people who either fall in love or learn how to love, although not that I think about it, it doesn't necessarily need to be happy either. Just a good'ol romance.
Thanks!

Ah yes – my time has come:
* *Funny Feelings* by Tara DeWitt – Contemporary, Open-Door
* *The Dead Romantics* or *The Seven-Year Slip* by Ashley Poston – Contemporary/Magical, Open-Door
* *Check & Mate* by Ali Hazelwood – Contemporary, YA. Closed-Door
* *Vampires of El Norte* by Isabel Cañas – Romance + Magical Realism.
* *Red, White, and Royal Blue* or *The Pairing* by Casey McQuiston – Contemporary, Open-Door
* *Normal People* by Sally Rooney – Contemporary, Romantic Lit-Fic
* *Book Lovers* or *Beach Read* by Emily Henry – Contemporary, Open-Door
* *The Song of Achilles* by Madeline Miller – Greek Mythology
* *It Happened One Summer* by Tessa Bailey – Contemporary, Open-Door. Trashy, but funny.
* *The Kiss Quotient* by Helen Hoang – Contemporary, Open-Door. Good autism rep.
* *A Court of Thorns and Roses* series – Romantic Fantasy, Open-Door. Don’t expect high literature folks – it’s a fun lil romp.

**Bonus**: Anti-romance for when you want to feel nothing but dread
* *The Poet Empress* by Shen Tao
* *My Dark Vanessa* by Kate Elizabeth Russell
Georgette Heyer basically invented the regency romance; you cannot go wrong with her books.
The Camelot Caper by Elizabeth Peters, a standard romance with a plot twist.
The Thin Woman is a mystery/romance by Dorothy Cannell, and also the start of a series. Mostly mystery but absolutely a romance as well; two total strangers who…I’ll be quiet now, just read the book. 🙂 Also full of humor.
You could try Shanna by Kathleen E Woodiwiss — from 1977; definitely about two people learning to love one another.
