This week on Book Bits & Chill, we're sharing our ultimate spicy romance guide by ranking 12 of our favorite romance books from Entry, Intermediate, and Expert spice. From beach reads and vacation romances to cowboys, billionaires, romantasy, and books that will have you checking the trigger warnings twice, we're helping you find your perfect summer read.
We're talking fake dating on a lake, Sicily vacations, cowboy ranches, Olympic athletes, romantasy with primal play, rock stars, private jets, and everything in between. Plus, we debate what actually makes a romance book "spicy" and discover that Emily's spice scale might not be the same as everyone else's.
Whether you're reading by the pool, packing for vacation, heading to the beach, or just trying to mentally escape your air-conditioned house, this episode is packed with romance recommendations for your summer TBR.
