Red Roses

Red roses are a classic. They’re romantic and a go-to for anything romantic. That’s why The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna is PERFECT with them.

Box of Chocolates

A Rivalry of Hearts by Tessonja Odette goes with a box of chocolates. Why, you ask? Well, it has something for EVERYONE. Fantasy realm? Check. Rivals to lovers? Check. Romcom vibes that’ll have you kicking your feet and giggling? Check.

Cinnamon Hearts

Now what would go with a cinnamon heart? They’re sweet, spicy, and finished too soon. That’s why Witchfished by E. F. Watson is the perfect book. It’s so cute, spicy, and a quick read (it’s a novella).

Pink Carnations

Pink carnations are cute and sweet. They’re still classic, but a little different from the norm. The Darkest Parts of Me by Shandy Mandarino is the book for them. It’s a cozy sci-fi romance, filled with all the classic things that make a romance book wonderful, but so unique that you’ll be begging for more like it!

Awkward First Date

Okay. I can’t pick anything for this other than Gold and Shadow by Madeleine Eliot. I can’t elaborate on this without spoilers, so you’ll have to read it yourself.

Candles

The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst is the book for a candle-lit evening. Candles make an appearance on any relaxing night. They add a cozy atmosphere to the event. This book embodies that to a T.

Teddy Bears

Who doesn’t want to hug a soft teddy bear gift from a loved one? A Fellowship of Bakers and Magic by J. Penner feels like hugging a teddy bear. It’s filled with heartwarming themes and embodies romantic AND friendship love. Nothing is better.

Candy Conversation Hearts

Love on the Line by Vai Denton is your pairing with those candy message hearts. This book is sweet with adorable bits of conversation.

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Chocolate-covered strawberries are sweet, decadent, and sexy. A Feather so Black by Lyra Selene fits this perfectly. Between the amazing romance, her decadent prose, and perfectly crafted characters, you’ll be craving more.


No matter how you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, there’s a book to complement the mood. Love comes in so many forms, and so does a good story. So grab your favorite Valentine’s treat, pick up a book, and let yourself fall into a world of love, passion, and happily-ever-afters.
