The Love Hypothesis was a cutesy romance book with all the tropes. (Well, except for one very important bed trope but I won’t get into that here). If you were a fan, here are 5 other romance books that you might enjoy.
The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
“The Unhoneymooners” follows two people who hate each other- Olive and Ethan- as they embark on a fake honeymoon and of course, fall in love. This was a really cute read and I loved that I genuinely hated Ethan on Olive’s behalf. (I’m a loyal reader).
The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas
Another enemies-to-lovers and fake dating trope, “The Spanish Love Deception” has Catalina Martin enlisting her colleague, Aaron to pretend to be her fake fiance. Catalina has been lying to her family for years that she’s engaged and now that there’s a family wedding, Catalina needs to show up with said fiance. It was so obvious from the start of the book that Aaron has the hots for Catalina and she was just oblivious. But I loved seeing her colourful and crazy family so this was a win for me.
The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
Lucy and Joshua hate each other. So much so that it’s making their other coworkers uncomfortable. And when a spot opens up for a promotion, both Lucy and Joshua compete to win (and get rid of the other person). But along with the competition, there is something else brewing between them. This was/is and possibly will forever be one of my favourite books of all time.
People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
“People We Meet on Vacation” is a cute fun-in-the-sun book that I highly recommend for summer. Alex and Poppy are two best friends who always take a vacation together every year. Until something happened to tear them apart. Now they reconnect and decide to try another vacation. But in between their not-so-perfect trip lies something that neither of them want to face. (They have feelings for each other. What a shocker!) What I really loved about this book is that it was incredibly well-written. I felt like I was on holiday with them. This was the only book I’ve ever read by Emily Henry but I’ve been hooked.
The Catch by Amy Lea
The third in “The Influencer” series, this book can be read alone. “The Catch” follows fashion influencer Melanie who lands up in a fishing village with grumpy B&B owner, Evan. The two are extreme opposites but when Melanie accidentally causes an accident that injures Evan she pretends that she’s engaged to him in order to follow him to the hospital.
One thing leads to another and then they’re pretending for his entire family. This was probably my favourite in the series. Again, it’s a colourful family which entertained me so much!
