Romantic book series to satisfy any palate

Romance novels are the perfect way to thaw your spirit after a long, cold winter as we transition into the warmer, more vibrant springtime. Forget Tinder and retreat into a series that keeps
on giving, because books make for the best dates anyway.  

The Next Series by Hannah Bonam-Young

Next to You; Next of Kin

The Next series follows a group of young adults navigating life, love, and unconventional family dynamics. In Next of Kin, Chloe and Warren—two strangers—team up to foster their younger siblings, clashing at first but eventually finding unexpected companionship and chemistry. Next to You shifts focus to Lane, who impulsively buys a school bus to convert into a home, enlisting her friend Matt to help. As they work together, their undeniable attraction challenges their no-romance rule. Full of heart, humor, and slow-burn tension, this series explores found family, personal growth, and love in unexpected places.
