Here's your weekly roundup of romances hitting shelves this week that have a Rebel Ever After vibe. Reminder that I haven't read any of these titles yet, so this isn't an official endorsement unless noted. If there are other books out today that you think folks will enjoy, feel free to recommend them in the comments.

[This isn't an exhaustive list of every romance novel published this week. If you are an author with a progressive romance coming out soon, please email brosandprose@gmail.com to get it on my radar!]

Devil by Sierra Simone (Bloom Books) — The fourth book in the delightfully blasphemous Priest erotic romance series! I recommend checking the content warnings on Sierra's site just in case.

See You at the Sunset by Susan Lee (MIRA) – I saw Susan speak at LoveLitCon about writing HEAs for underrepresented folks and she is so damn funny.

World's Okayest Oracle (Reluctantly) Seeks Demon by Olivia Dade (Berkley) — We always stan Olivia Dade. A new rom-com in the universe of ZOMROMCOM! Prepare yourself by listening to our episode from last summer.

Let's Kiss and Tell by Joss Richard (Viking) — A sex writer fake-dates a colleague who is reporting on a sex work scandal. You best believe they fuck. I interviewed Joss about the book (and her deranged fan-fiction origins) a few weeks ago.

Professionally Yours by Kayla Ashlyn (indie) — Small-town found-family romance about falling in love with your boss. Whom among us.

She Haunts Me Still by De Elizabeth (Dutton) — A dark academia theater new adult bisexual love triangle paranormal ROMP. I devoured this twisty turny book and haven't stopped thinking about one sex scene in particular ever since.

In What World by Bridget Morrissey (Berkley) — Sapphic enemies-to-lovers about two former high school rivals who are trying to solve a mystery and somehow alternate dimensions are involved and they meet alternate versions of themselves who are in love???

The Magic We Made by Meg Cabot (Avon) — I haven't read any of Meg Cabot's adult novels! Have folks here read them? Tell me if I should pick them up as a diehard Princess Diaries fan!

For the Love of the Quest by Alexandra Ammon Parthun (Alcove) — From the marketing copy: "The search for King Arthur’s Excalibur invites danger…and potentially love in this sapphic historical romance perfect for fans of Cat Sebastian and Freya Marske."

As a reminder, I have some events coming up in the NY area!
