Hi all!
It’s Tuesday again… seriously the last week flew by! Before we know it, it’ll be the Holiday of Love (AKA Valentines Day) ❤ ❤ ❤ So, in light of that I thought it would be sweet to do a Predicted 5 Star Romance Reads in pre-celebration. Well, namely because I’m in a romance reading mood but Valentines Day is convenient!
This meme was created by the lovely Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl . The topic for this week is: Books on my TBR I Predict Will Be 5-Star Reads.
Here they are:
What is there to say about these other than their covers are super cute and I’ve been waiting A LONG TIME to read them? I know, I know… how haven’t I read Emma yet? I’ve had it on my shelf for YEARS and still haven’t read it. I loved P&P but getting myself to try another classic isn’t easy, even though I already know that I like Austen’s writing style.
The Bromance Book Club and Well Met have both been on reserve at my library for going on three months now. Seriously, why can’t people return books by their due date?!
Be still my beating heart… only three months left until The Heart Principle. May couldn’t come soon enough! I just want to know what happens to Quan!! DOES HE FIND TRUE LOVE?
Along with all of my impatient fangirl thoughts of Hoang’s upcoming release is the need to try an author I haven’t before, Alexa Martin in Intercepted, and also another book by a hit and miss author for me: Christina Lauren with Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating.
My first try of the Central Park Pact series didn’t go over so well… mainly due to my annoyance at the MC. Despite this, I really enjoyed Layne’s writing and have decided to give the third book a try (yes… without reading the second instalment) because of all the ‘pact gals’ I liked Audrey the best.
Tessa Dare will almost always be on my TBR list at some point or another and I have such a soft spot for wallflowers. If I was born in the regency period, they’re what I’d imagine to have been. An introverted gal more concerned with books than anything else.
The Gravity of Us is another book I have been eagerly awaiting for months. IT COMES OUT TODAY. Yes you read correctly… TODAY!!
Last, but not least (in fact it’s at the top of my TBR right now) is Chasing Cassandra. For those of you (unfortunate) souls that haven’t tried a Lisa Kleypas novel, let alone the Ravenels series, I hope that this sparks some interest!
One of the most fascinating ‘hero’ characters I’ve come across before in a historical romance… this book features the legendary Tom Severin and all of his lack-of-charm. How Lisa Kleypas manages to keep me SO INSANELY EXCITED to read about his odd mannerisms is beyond me. I’m sold though. This book will be next and hopefully Tom Severin will swoop away with my heart in his money-loving hands!
Such a wonderful list !!! So many of these are favorites, particularly Bromance Book club and Wallflower Wager… can’t wait for you to enjoy them all 😍😍

Omg The Heart Principle is MY NUMBER ONE 😍I am SO excited for it but I also realised earlier in January that it’s a 2021 release not a 2020 release 😭Haha I was so disappointed to realise that! I absolutely LOVE Josh & Hazel and that was a five star for me. I hope all of these live up to the hype for you!

I KNOW ❤ My poor heart is gonna expect so much from his match… honestly he's my fav of the series and it will have to be someone pretty special. My expectations are high!! WAIT WHAT?! 2021???!! That's just broken my heart a little bit! I'll have to try Josh and Hazel in the mean time… hopefully it lives up to the hype 🙂

Emma is actually the first Jane Austen book that I ever read. I love that book, though not as much as Pride and Prejudice. I hope that you’ll end up loving it as well. Great list! 🙂
