Romance is fast developing to appeal to an increasingly diverse range of readers. Reading romance is sometimes regarded as a shameful relaxation, yet even that phrase implies that there is an issue with reading this genre or that it is not proper literature. It's meant to be savored, and there's plenty of it to sample. Here are some romance books to look forward to in August 2023.
1. The Art of Scandal by Regina Black
