Best Romance Novel Reviews
Welcome!
Are you looking for a great romance novel to read? This blog, in association with Best Romance Novels Today (bestromancenovelstoday.com) is dedicated to posting the best romance novels we can find.
We scour the web, searching independent review sites for the best romance novels. We consider books from large publishers, and also gems from the small presses. Each book posted has earned at least one 5 star review from a respected reviewer. In addition, we check that novel's average star ranking on Amazon. If a book earns 5 stars from both sources, we post it here.
NOTE:
Recently, finding books which have a 5 star review from a respected reviewer, plus averaging 5 stars on Amazon has been next to impossible to find. As a result, we'll also occasionally post books which have received both a 5 star review from a respected reviewer, and average 4 1/2 stars on Amazon, with a minimum of 20 posted reviews. These are fabulous books too, and we're looking forward to sharing them with you. Enjoy!

Unexplained lights skip across the yard at midnight. And a neighbor bakes hope in the form of cakes. More...

Best Inspirational Romance Novel Review
I'd like to give a shout out for the best romance novel review I've ever read:

The book is contemporary inspirational romance novel, Her Reluctant Bodyguard, and in the interest of full disclosure, I wrote this book.
To be honest, I've never had a book I've written touch someone's life in this way, and I feel humbled and grateful that God could use a book I've written to positively impact someone's life. Alexa is me, too, in so many ways, and I have to wonder how many more of us are out there--the walking wounded, afraid to love, and yet taken by surprise when it finds us. I hope you might find this story an inspiration to you, too.
Book Summary:
Alexa's dream job becomes a threat to her life...

Alexa struggles to control her flip attitude toward Jamison. Why does opening up her heart to him feel almost as dangerous as dealing with the stalker’s threats? But when the killer strikes, Jamison is the only one she can turn to…
