Are you like me, broke or stuck with limited traveling options? Good news! I've got the perfect solution with some book recommendations that'll whisk you away. Here's a fun list of recent and classic releases guaranteed to give your mind a much-needed mini vacation.
Beach
The Sea-Ogre’s Eager Bride by Ruby Dixon
I probably have a Dixon recommendation for just about every scenario. Honestly, more happens in this recently released book on or beneath the waves than on solid ground. Plus, the main characters are quirky, flawed, and thoroughly charming.
Countryside
Married to the Alien Cowboy by Ursa Dax
City girl at heart, feeling out of place in the countryside? Cherry can relate. This delightful opener to Dax’s Cowboy Colony Mail-Order Brides series (a comfort favorite I cannot recommend enough) delivers a mood board of humor, tenderness, and just enough thrills to keep you on your toes.
Camping
The Orc’s Rage by Lyonne Riley
Okay, so Cedar is technically more glamping than traditional camping, but still, they're basically living in a tent city. If it had more music, it could easily double as a fantasy music festival setting. Picture it: seducing an orc warlord beneath starlight with a roaring fire nearby. Need I say more?
Cruise
Alien Mate for the P*rn Star by Alexis B. Osborne
Honestly, it's criminal how little attention this book gets. The premise? Unique. The heat level? Absolutely scorching. Plus, it takes place on a cruise ship! Admittedly, the ship does explode, which isn't exactly ideal vacation material. But surviving alongside one of the sexiest beings in the universe? Worth it.
Vacation Town
Getting It on With Gargoyles by Hazel Mack
Ever, Massachusetts, is the epitome of a quaint small town with fantastic ice cream, enchanting natural beauty, and a dreamy bed and breakfast. Only here, you also get hot gargoyles, vampires, and trolls. Fans of charming small towns, Hallmark vibes, or the show Charmed will find plenty to love.
Amusement Park or Zoo
Squeak by Vera Valentine
New to Sentient Object Romance? You're in for a wild ride. This niche genre’s stories are delightfully bizarre, and the community around them is endlessly entertaining. If you're ready to explore smut with a playful twist, this classic should top your list. It’s balloons. Just trust me.
