    1. **Last night by Mhairi McFarlane’s**: her books are no to very low spice, Last Night is my favourite of hers

      **Honey & Spice by Bolu Babalola**: this one has one spice scene

      **The blue castle by L.M. Montgomery**: this is one of my favourite classics and has a lot of gorgeous descriptions of nature

    2. Have you ever read “ye olde romance”? Victorian-Edwardian era stuff? I hate spice, and these are perfect for that. Yet the romances are so sweet and it’s this glimpse into a slice of life I know absolutely NOTHING about, the British minor noblemen circle.

      I’d recommend *Regency Buck*, *Far From the Madding Crowd*, *The Woman In White* (more horror/suspense than romance, but romance included), *Jane Eyre* and anything else by Georgette Heyer. Since you said you’re going to listen to it, I can recommend all the editions of these books that are on Spotify premium, I’ve listened to all of them.
