But when a prank gone wrong wrecks one of the rinks, Anastasia and Nate are forced to work together for the benefit of their teams. Which would be easier to do if Anastasia wasn’t uptight and Nate was a bit more grounded. Before the dream they both worked for starts to look like a nightmare, the unlikely pair will have take a shot on each other. It's a light smut romance that won't make you clutch your pearls too much.

While We Were Dating by Jasmine Guillory

Who doesn’t love a romance set in Hollywood? Get ready to squeal from cuteness and lots of love.

Ben Stephens doesn’t have time for a serious relationship — he’s busy keeping himself entertained with casual hookups, ignoring ongoing family drama and putting his advertising career first. He’s leading a huge campaign with upcoming movie star Anna Gardiner, who by the way, is sexy and smart and considerate and…are more reasons needed? Flirting with Anna comes too easily and starts to feel a bit too real.

Anna Gardiner needs a distraction while she waits to see if she lands her next big role, an ad campaign seems like the perfect remedy. It helps that one of the workers is handsome, understanding, and has the patience of a saint. She knows she shouldn’t let herself mix business with pleasure, but what’s the harm in a bit of playful banter? Leave it to smut romance books to blur the lines.

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood

No, Elise Hannaway isn’t a sex worker — she’s a dating worker. During academia hours, Elise is an adjunct professor teaching thermodynamics in the hopes of gaining tenure somewhere respectable. By night, she pretends to be people’s girlfriend for a few hours...and honestly she’s pretty good at it. She can give anyone the version of Elise they need.

And all of that was just swell until Jack Smith, the brother of one of her repeat clients, is too attractive for his own good. Oh, and Jack's also one of the most well-known experimental physicist at MIT (HELLO?! Elise’s dream job!). Jack's known for being cold-hearted, and he single handedly ruined the reputation of Elise’s entire field of theorists. Elise has no choice but to be around Jack as she goes through all the steps to land her dream role at MIT, but he sees right through her and all the versions of Elise she’s ever created. As the two get closer, so does their off the chart chemistry.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the brilliance that is Ali Hazelwood. She's the ruler of STEM romance, and we're here for it! Her debut YA novel Check & Mate is out November 7!

Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair by Laura Piper Lee

Hannah Tate thought she had the perfect relationship with the father of her newborn son, but he shatters her dreams of getting married when he promptly ends their relationship over dinner. Recently fired from a soul-sucking job, she moves back to Blue Ridge, Georgia to help her parents with a fixer-upper project and runs into their sexy neighbor River. From the time she sets foot on familiar ground, Hannah begins to blossom in a way she didn't think was possible.

If you love reading rom-com books that have a tantalizing spiciness to them, you'll love reading Hannah Tate, Beyond Repair.

Priest by Sierra Simone

Father Tyler Anselm Bell didn’t expect to break his vow of celibacy on the altar of his own church, but when Poppy walked into confessions one day, he couldn’t get the image of her bent over out of his head. And the worse part? He’d do it again. And again. While struggling for the love of his God and now Poppy, Father Bell starts to question everything he’s known.

Priest was published in 2015, but recently shot to fame in the reading world thanks to #BookTok. If you’re a fan of Fleabag and Hot Priest left you saying the Lord’s Prayer, the smut romance you'll find in here will make you start sweating again.

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner

Get comfortable because once you read the first words about Cassie Klein and Erin Bennett, you won’t be able to stop.

Cassie didn’t plan on finding a hot woman at a bar during her college’s campus weekend, but buying a stranger a drink leads to a tantalizing hookup. She didn’t really plan to see the woman again, but her best friend takes her to breakfast to meet her mom, who just so happens to be the hot brunette from the bar whose mouth left the best kisses.

Erin didn’t think Cassie was a student when they were hooking up in the backseat of her car. Erin definitely didn’t think that her daughter would know the gorgeous blonde who caught her eye as soon as she walked in the door. But it was just one time, it won’t happen again.

Wrong.

Cassie and Erin can’t ignore the heart tugging feelings that turn into more. Sneaky kisses around corners turn into long nights in bed, and as it turns into something real, Cassie and Erin have to face what they both fear the most — honesty. It's the best romance smut book you'll read in a long time.

Neon Gods by Katee Robert

Greek mythology is having a comeback (shoutout Madeline Miller and Jennifer Saint), and this Hades and Persephone retelling needs to be at the top of your list. Plus, it's got a dual POV? Yes, please!

Persephone Dimitriou has had it with the mind game politics of metropolis Olympus. When her mother Demeter betrays her trust and announces her engagement to Zeus (who's accused of killing his last wife, Hera, by the way), she knows she can’t continue to live this life. Her only saving grace is Hades, the devil himself.

As Hades harbors the woman, he starts to build a revenge plan, one he’s been waiting on for decades. While Hades protects Persephone, he forgets to protect his heart. There’s truly nothing sweeter than forbidden love in good smut books.

After you finish Neon Gods, check out the other books in the Dark Olympus universe!

Swoon-Worthy Romance Reads 🥰

Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams

This was another #BookTok phenomenon that's well worth the hype. Practice Makes Perfect is technically the sequel to When In Rome, but you can totally read the books out of order. And trust me, I never do that, but the world is still turning.

Annie Walker is trying to find her soulmate, but it’s hard to do in her hometown of Rome, Kentucky where every single person knows her. Even when she goes outside her small town’s limits, the guys still suck. On her last date, one even calls her “so unbelievably boring,” but he wasn’t doing anything to carry the conversation either!

When Will Griffin, the super hot, gorgeously tattooed and famous-adjacent bodyguard of Amelia Rose returns to Rome, he knows he can’t get attached to anyone. But when Annie comes to him asking for lessons in flirting and dating, he can’t say no. As they say, practice makes perfect.

All friends think about how their skin tingles at the slightest hand touches, right? And every friend has always wanted to kiss the way too attractive bodyguard, right? Read on as Annie and Will start to blur the lines of friendship and find something along the way.

The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling

When young witch Vivienne Sterling cursed her ex-boyfriend, she didn’t actually think it would work. She was drunk! Vivi was heartbroken! She was crying and in a bubble bath and didn’t think the candle would do anything!

But when Rhys Penhallow, descendant of the town’s ancestors and known ruiner of love returns to town and can’t even conjure a flicker of light, Vivienne’s curse might have been too strong. Vivi and Rhys have to work together to restore the town’s magic before it disappears off the map, with everyone in it.

If Gilmore Girls and Practical Magic had a baby, it would be this. This book is perfect if you’re looking for something with witchy vibes, hot Welsh men, and romance smut wrapped in one.

Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld

Looking for something to hold you over while you wait for the new season of Saturday Night Live? Your search is over.

Sally Milz sacrificed a lot to be a kickass writer for The Night Owls, a comedy show that airs every Saturday. She’s given up on love and has settled for the occasional one-night stand with a guy who sends too many intimately revealing pics, but at least she’s getting something out of it, right?

When another one of her mediocre coworkers starts dating a gorgeous hostess (think of Pete Davidson with literally anyone), she starts to wonder why hot hosts don’t fall at her feet. Until Noah Brewster, famed singer-songwriter-performer-holy crap he’s so handsome comes into town to host AND be the musical guest. Sally might drool a little when she sees him (in her defense, she is sleep deprived from working crazy hours), but there’s no way he'd ever be interested in someone like her.

Sally and Noah work through a lot of their own doubts, navigating loneliness during the COVID-19 pandemic, and come to find the best romantic comedy might be everyday life. Trust us when we say this is one of those romance books with smut you'll enjoy reading every few months.

First Comes Like by Alisha Rai

...Except when Jia and Dev meet in person one night, and he has no idea who she is. Humiliation quickly turns into a plan to keep up the fake dating for a bit to make all parties happy. But as the public eye starts to fall in love with Jia and Dev, they start to feel butterflies themselves. Is it possible to turn a fake online romance into love? Find out in best romance smut book you'll get your hands!

A Little Young Love 🫶

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey Mcquinston

If you’re a fan of Paper Towns, but wanted a better ending — add this to your TBR.

Chloe Green did not expect to be kissed by her high school rival Shara Wheeler, and she definitely didn’t expect for Shara to vanish right after it happened. Shara is so close to being valedictorian, and then she just goes ghost on everything? That’s not fair, and Chloe refuses to win by default.

Angry, Chloe starts a hunt for Shara and finds out she wasn’t the only one who got a goodbye smooch before the perfect daughter disappeared. Smith (Shara’s longtime quarterback high school love) and Rory (Shara’s bad boy class clown neighbor with a crush) also got kissed. The three have never even really had a conversation, and the only thing they have in common is that Shara gave them each a kiss before vanishing, each with an envelope. Chloe, Smith, and Rory start to decipher the cryptic notes, and it will all be worth it if Chloe can beat Shara once and for all, fair and square.

This unlikely alliance will pull at your heart and take you back to walking the halls of high school. It’s funny and it’s messy, but mainly, it teaches you that love can be found in some of the most unexpected places.

These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong

Okay, it’s time to finally admit that Romeo and Juliet retellings are SUPERIOR! And no one does it better than Chloe Gong. This book has lovable characters and seriously laugh out loud moments.

Juliette Cai is set to take her place at the head of the Scarlet Gang, and this time there are no distractions. Not even when her first love and heartbreak Roma Montagov steps back into the scene as the heir of the White Flowers.

The Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers have fought each other for generations. Gangsters and spies, trained to steal secrets and kill for less. When mob members on both sides start clawing out their own throats, they quickly learn the gangs aren’t the only monsters on the street.

As the deaths from the mysterious illness continue, Juliette and Roma team up together to try and stop the madness. Because if they don’t, there might not be anyone left in Shanghai.

They Both Die at The End by Adam Silvera

When Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emerterio get a phone call on September 5, they know they'll both die that day. On their End Day, Mateo and Rufus meet up to spend their last 24 hours together for one final adventure — and to live today like it's their last. The two are brought together by a sick twist of fate, but create their bucket list nonetheless and vow to do everything they’ve ever wanted.

Mateo and Rufus aren’t the only ones who get a call that day...but to say who else would be a spoiler! With each chapter a countdown, you’ll find yourself checking the clock to see if everyone will make it to the end.

Total Tear-Jerkers 😭

In Five Years by Rebecca Serle

Everyone has a five-year plan, and Dannie Kohan lives her life exactly according to hers. In Dannie’s world, there’s no such thing as a surprise or spontaneity. She’s the exact opposite of her best friend Bella who can wake up every morning without a plan in place. So when Dannie gets a work promotion and engaged to her long-term boyfriend on the same day, she’s not surprised — it’s part of the plan after all. When she goes to sleep that night, she knows she’ll wake up in the morning, run around five miles, head into work, come home, and repeat it all the next day.

Except she doesn’t. She wakes up in a different bed, with a different ring on her finger, next to a different man. For one hour, she lives five years into the future. When she wakes up in her apartment, with her diamond sparkling, beside the man she’s known for years, she knows it wasn’t a dream.

Dannie tries to shake the apprehension that follows her, but when she meets the dream man in real life as Bella’s beau, the plan she’s stuck to for years starts to fall apart. This is a love story you won't expect. Before you know it, your heart will be shattered and slowly put back together, so keep the tissues handy.

Lydia and Freddie were supposed to live together happily ever after. But on his 28th birthday, Freddie dies in a car accident, leaving Lydia to face a life she never even thought would happen. As she’s supported by her friends and family, she starts to put the pieces of her live together, even if there is a Freddie-sized hole.

Lydia's prescribed something to help her sleep, and she’s warned of the side effects, but doesn’t think much of it. When she goes to bed, she’s taken to a world where Freddie still exists. Here, he’s alive and well and none of the terribly tragic events of the past few months have ever happened.

As Lydia steps into her past, she’s living two lives all at once. She knows the world with Freddie isn’t true, but how can it not be when he’s safe in her arms and sleeps in their bed? The real-world continues, and Lydia starts to learn that you can’t be in two different realities. When someone in her new, real life wants her to stay, she’ll have to make a choice.

As far as I'm concerned, 2024 was Daisy Edgar-Jones' year. The Normal People actress captured our hearts with her role as Kate in Twisters (as well as her viral Hot Ones interview with Glen Powell and "Apple" TikTok dance). But while Kate led a pretty adventurous life, her risk threshold is nothing compared to Daisy's newest character, Muriel, in On Swift Horses.

Living in post-Korean War California, Muriel's life with her husband Lee is disrupted when Lee's brother Julius arrives in all his addictive, charming glory. The film, based on Shannon Pufahl's 2019 book of the same name, made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7. Here's everything you need to know.

What is On Swift Horses about?

Luc Montpelllier

On Swift Horses Plot

Muriel begins a new life with her husband Lee when he returns to California from the Korean War. But the life they're building together — and their future — changes forever when Lee's brother Julius, a headstrong gambler, arrives. Julius is attractive, charismatic, and hiding plenty of secrets.

According to the official synopsis, "when Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible."

Luc Montpelllier

The story explores LGBTQ+ identity and desire in the 1950s, but does so with a hopeful tone rather than a devastating one. “The first scenes that we filmed were the scenes we had together, so we got all of that done with—when we were apart, we had put the groundwork in,” Daisy tells Vanity Fair of working with Jacob, who adds, "I believe Taylor Swift calls it an invisible string.”

"I loved the connection between gambling and risk-taking, and pushing the boundaries of her desire and what she’s looking for,” Daisy adds. “Muriel’s rebellion throughout the film is quite quiet, in the small ways in which she takes back her power by concealing things. A lot of what’s happening is behind closed doors.”

Who's in the cast of On Swift Horses?

Luc Montpelllier

On Swift Horses Cast

On Swift Horses stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter, Sasha Calle, and Diego Calva.

"It's not hard to make chemistry with Jacob because he's just so charismatic," Daisy said during a Q&A, via People, adding that the script "felt almost like reading poetry and so much of what happens is in the subtext."

"This movie is just about love,” Calle added. “It’s important to just feel that — whoever that might be, where that takes you. It’s important to feel that and to feel safe in it.”

Has On Swift Horses been released?

Luc Montpelllier

On Swift Horses Release Date

On Swift Horses premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, and is currently looking for a distributor. Check back here for news on its release date!

As charming as Julius appears in the teaser trailer, his brother Lee tells Muriel they live differently than he does. "He's just not like us," he says before a scene cuts to Muriel exploring her own "passions." Based on this, On Swift Horses appears to blur the lines of love, lust, secrets, and recognizing one's identity.

The world was sad to say goodbye to Ted Lasso when season 3 ended in 2023. "This is the end of this story that we wanted to tell," Jason Sudeikis said in March 2023. "The fact that folks will want more and are curious beyond more than what they don’t even know yet—that being Season 3—it’s flattering."

Well, get ready to say hello because Apple TV+ announced on March 14 that Ted Lasso season 4 is coming to the streamer. Entertainment Weekly confirmed that the senior season will again see Jason Sudeikis as star and executive producer. Thank you Apple!

Here's everything we know about Jason Sudeikis' Ted Lasso season 4, coming soon to Apple TV+.

'Ted Lasso' season 4 finds the characters "exactly where they're meant to be."

Apple TV+

Ted Lasso season 4 will see a continuation of all the goodness we got in season 3 Ted returned to Kansas, and his son. Rebecca finally reunited with the man she met in Amsterdam, and started to consider starting a Richmond women's team at the suggestion of Keeley, who's still torn between Jamie and Roy.

"As we all continue to live in a world where so many factors have conditioned us to 'look before we leap,' in season 4, the folks at AFC Richmond learn to LEAP BEFORE THEY LOOK, discovering that wherever they land, it’s exactly where they’re meant to be," Jason Sudeikis said in a statement.

The 'Ted Lasso' season 4 cast will be led by Jason Sudeikis.

Apple TV+

We don't have a full Ted Lasso season 4 cast yet, but we do know Jason Sudeikis will return as Ted. I'm hoping the full cast will include:

  • Jason Sudeikis as Ted, the AFC Richmond coach.
  • Brett Goldstein as Roy Kent, the midfielder and captain of the team.
  • Juno Temple as Keeley Jones, a model-turned-marketing and PR manager.
  • Hannah Waddingham as Rebecca Welton, AFC Richmond's owner.
  • Jeremy Swift as Leslie Higgins, the Director of Football Operations.
  • Phil Dunster as Jamie Tartt, the team's striker.
  • Brendan Hunt as Willis Beard, one of Ted's assistant coaches.
  • Nick Mohammed as Nate Shelley, who becomes an assistant coach.

Here's when you can expect 'Ted Lasso' season 4.

Apple TV+

We don't have an official Ted Lasso season 4 release date yet, but considering season 2 was announced in 2020 and premiered in 2021 (the delay during season 3 was reportedly due to script rewrites). So there's a good chance we could see new episodes in 2026.

Does Keeley end up with Jamie or Roy?

Apple TV+

Okay so we don't actually know who Keeley chooses yet because the end of season 3 left it unanswered (even though actress Juno Temple told EW she thinks "ultimately, she ends up with Roy"). Hopefully we'll figure out who's endgame in season 4!

The best part of english classes was discovering new authors because of assigned summer reading. I'd pretend to "complain," but I loved when my mom took me to the public library to find books I'd eventually cherish. From Maya Angelou's pivotal memoir to Barbara Kingsolver's assessment of one family's mission work, I learned women could be powerful wordsmiths.

As much as I love reading contemporary romance books or political thrillers that remind me of Paradise, the following novels are the ones I revisit when my TBR list is too overwhelming!

Read the instant-classic books that introduced me to the most iconic female authors of all time

Amazon

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Pride and Prejudice was the only book that challenged me because it's the true definition of a "slow burn" read. Between you and I, Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy are the blueprint for the love stories found in Bridgerton because their romance wasn't rushed. The familiar strangers-to-lovers troupe is there, but Jane Austen took her time showing the seeds of how things blossomed between them.

Amazon

Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie

What was supposed to be a luxurious train ride turns into murder when the wealthy Samuel Edward Ratchett is discovered dead during a terrible storm. The guests are bewildered because it appears no one could've accessed his door from the outside, but his fatal wounds indicate otherwise. Detective Hercule Poirot is sure one of the guests is feigning innocence, but he'll have to deduce who was skilled enough to commit an undetectable murder.

Amazon

The Color Purple by Alice Walker

I was introduced to the film version of The Color Purple when I was a little girl and it left a memorable imprint on my mind. Starring Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey, I believed they were Celie and Sofia for the longest. It's the reason why I devoured Alice Walker's book when I was old enough to read it. Mainly, the themes of sisterhood, sexism, racism, and love painted a vivid picture of life for Black women in the deep South. In their story, readers are sure to find something to relate to.

Amazon

White Teethby Zadie Smith

Zadie Smith's White Teeth outlines a friendship between two people from different backgrounds, showing how life isn't always confined to certain "rules." The things Archie Jones and Samad Iqbal found after fighting together in World War II have a profound effect on their friendship as well as their lives. From falling in love again to producing children who challenge the world around them, these two friends struggle to maintain a lease on the things they thought to be true.

Amazon

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings tells of her upbringing in the south with her brother Bailey. From witnessing the strength of their grandmother to experiencing terror at the hands of a "trusted" adult, Maya learns valuable lessons about tenacity, wit, and kindness at a young age. It's these very things that make her one of the greatest literary minds whose work I've been fortunate to read.

Amazon

To Kill a Mockingbirdby Harper Lee

To Kill a Mockingbird broke me into pieces and stitched me back together after I read it for the first time. It's another book that touches on the limiting beliefs that the South is known for and its effect on those around them. Though beautiful, this region hasn't always been the kindest to Black people as evidenced by a one lawyer's determination to prove the innocence of a wrongly accused man.

Amazon

Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

Margaret Atwood is known for writing dystopian books that paint a somewhat bleak picture of our future. In Oryx and Crake, readers are introduced to "Snowman" who ditched his former name Jimmy once a terrible tragedy changed the trajectory of the world around him. Not only is he alone as the last full being, he's also lost two people he loved dearly. The only thing that keeps Snowman going are Crake's children as he seeks to find the source of the greatest genetic breakdown known to mankind.

Amazon

The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler

The Parable of the Sower follows Lauren Olamina as she goes from living a protected life to being unable to ignore the realities of those who aren't as fortunate as her. She witnesses how societal and socioeconomic changes affect others, not including the growing calls to pay attention to the climate. As scary as it is, Lauren decides to take a stand to help others and witnesses a rebirth that no one's able to ignore.

Amazon

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

I still remember watching Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon take on the characters found in Celeste Ng's Little Fires Everywhere during the height of the pandemic. It opened up conversations about motherhood and the choices women make that follow us even when we don't want them to. From confronting cover racism to realizing how a life unfulfilled leads to pushing children to live lives we've always wanted to, the world of Shaker Heights is taken for a wild ride when Mia Warren comes into town.

Amazon

The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver

Last but not least, there's this incredible work of Barbara Kingsolver. I find myself revisiting The Poisonwood Bible because the themes of it feel more relevant than ever. From the blind faith of Baptist preacher Nathan Price to his wife finally finding her voice after their youngest daughter died, neither they or their children leave the Belgian Congo unscathed. Despite their best efforts to adapt, this family learns that their ignorance stemming from a domineering patriarchal household caused them to be chewed up and spit out. That sometimes there's more than one way to find God, love, and justice if we're willing to look.
