Hey there, book clan!
I’m finally getting a moment to breathe so I thought, “Book Rec Time!”
I know Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but I was feeling feisty. For some, there’s nothing like settling in with a deep red, some good chocolate, and a spicy book for Valentine’s Day. Who needs a S/O when you’ve got multiple fictional boyfriends and girlfriends to ignite the spicy receptors.
So, inspired by not only feelin’ good, but Christina Aguilera’s “Dirrty”, here are some book recommendations that could potentially make your toes curl. Whether you just want a little romance, spice, or just feeling naughty, there’s a little something for everybody. I’ve even pulled a quote from each one to give you a vibe. Who knows, maybe you’ve read a few already. I know I’ve found my book boyfriend of the night in a couple.
