72 New Romances to Heat Up Your Summer
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date….
That, of course, is our man in Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare, extolling the virtues of summer romance way back in 1609. Summertime is the best time for love, everyone knows this. Because it’s hott.
Each calendar month here at Goodreads World Headquarters, we generate lists of that month’s most anticipated books—including romance and young adult titles—by way of early reviews and readers’ Want to Read shelves. But that approach leaves a lot left over, especially in the romance category, and especially in summer.
So we’ve gathered here enough new romances to keep you reading all season long. After all, everyone deserves a shot at love. Royal Guardswomen. Movie stars. Neanderthals. Perhaps most importantly: Bookworms.
Scroll over the book covers to learn more about each title, and add the ones that catch your eye to your Want to Read shelf.

I am so disappointed with this list of books. There are none by at least 10 of my favorite authors who are each releasing books this summer.
Anyone else have a double take at the dog on the cover of Maggie Moves On that looks like it's coming out of the My Killer Vacation cover?

None in your list. All of Christina Dudley's series.
OH my goodness. I want to read pretty much all of them. I am studying for a masters degree, so when I have time, I like a romance to take my mind to another reality!

Can I say how much I hate the cartoony type covers. Yeah, romance reading is usually on the lighter side, but does it have to look like a children's book? I see it in many genres, usually thankfully not thrillers, but it does seem to be the trend with many new releases. Those types of covers put me off completely.
