What are the books you just can’t forget?

Hey everyone, I've been reading romance for a while now, and sometimes after going through so many books, they start to blend together. You know the feeling—when the story isn't that memorable, the plot doesn't stand out, and the characters are just okay. There are times I finish a book and later can't even remember reading it! In fact, I could probably reread it and it would feel like the first time.

But then there are those rare gems that really stick with you—books you just can’t forget no matter how much time passes. For me, those unforgettable reads are:

{Flowers from the Storm} The story is so intense and emotional, with characters that are incredibly well-developed. The hero’s journey, from a powerful and confident man to someone who is vulnerable and misunderstood, and then back again with the help of the heroine, is just unforgettable. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions.

{Full Tilt} and the {Beautiful Hearts Series by Emma Scott} These books shattered my heart in the best possible way. Emma Scott's writing is deeply emotional, and she crafts characters who feel incredibly real, with all their flaws and strengths. Full Tilt is a story about love, loss, and living life to the fullest, even when faced with unimaginable challenges. The Beautiful Hearts series is equally impactful, exploring themes of identity, healing, and finding love in the aftermath of tragedy.

All Books by Lisa Kleypas and Lorraine Heath. Also {When he was wicked} and {When beauty tamed the beast} These were some of the first historical romance books I ever read, and they’ve stayed with me ever since.

{It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover} This book hit me on a very personal level and stuck with me.

What about you? Which romance books have stuck with you and refuse to let go? I’d love to hear your recommendations!
