Hi everybody, and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s a Love/Valentine’s Day freebie and I wanted to highlight some new and upcoming romance books (releasing in 2023) that I haven’t talked about yet, but am still super excited about.
I mean, I have raved already about upcoming releases like Happy Place, The True Love Experiment, Meet Me At The Lake and Love Theoretically. They’ve been featured in my Top Ten Tuesday and Can’t Wait Wednesday posts before. But they’re not the only romances to look forward to. Yes, THERE ARE EVEN MORE ROMANCE BOOKS TO LOOK FORWARD TO! Here are 10 MORE romance books I’m looking forward to reading.

Tell Me:
What are some 2023 romance releases you are looking forward to?
Do we have any in common?
The cover of Ann’s is so dang cute. Plus, Katherine Center’s and Ashley’s covers make me want to read more about them. 🙂 Hope you enjoy all of these.
There are some pretty covers here indeed 🙂 Thanks, Rissi!
The Seven Year Slip sounds interesting. I am curious about how that would work out in a plot…
It does have such an intriguing premise! I look forward to finding out more as I read it 🙂
This is a new trend in book covers, isn’t it? The comic book version – reminds me of the Archie comics!
Haha yeah they do all have similar looks lately – I like it though 🙂
I’m excited for The New Guy! Sarina Bowen is such a favorite of mine and she never disappoints.
I don’t think I’ve ever read any Sarina Bowen-only books (only Him and Us), but I’m definitely eager to read more by her!
I have Do I Know You, The Neighbor Favor, and Hello Stranger on my TBR. I hope to read them soon.

These romances all look and sound fantastic. I especially love the sound of Do I Know You? 😀
I just started Do I Know You and so far, it’s definitely a fun and unique premise 🙂
Great list! I have a lot of these on my TBR. Always look forward to a new Rachel Lynn Solomon!
Thanks! I’m definitely looking forward to trying more Rachel Lynn Solomon.
I am always excited for a new Katherine Center book!
I’ve only read The Bodyguard so far, but I’m excited to try more books by her!

Glad you loved The New Guy, I’m looking forward to reading it!
I am so excited for Business or Pleasure and Hello Stranger!
They both sound so good!
What a great list! I can’t wait for Business or Pleasure – I’m a sucker for Rachel Lynn Solomon books.
I’ve only read one Rachel Lynn Solomon book so far, but I definitely want to try more by her!
She’s amazing! Like potato chips – you can’t have just one. lol
Do I Know You looks so fun. and I LOVE the cover of the Morrissey!!!
There definitely are some pretty covers here 🙂
I’m looking forward to some of these too. Especially the one by Ann Laing 🙂
It looks so pretty! I hope to read it soon too 🙂
I have a few of these on my TBR! SO many romances and some of these covers are amazing!
Hope we’ll enjoy all of these!
Why are all the covers so pretty? I want them all! 😭 I’m pretty excited for quite a few of these and I hope we both end up enjoying them!
Indeed, so many pretty covers, how can we ever say no to them? 🙂
Wow, there are SO MANY romances coming out in 2023! It’s a popular genre, though not one I read much. I’m glad you’ve get so many new releases to look forward to. I hope you love all these!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Thanks so much!
I love the cover of The Do Over. I hope you enjoy all these!
It is such a pretty cover indeed. Thanks!
Wow, I hadn’t heard of any of these romances. What a fun list. Honestly I don’t much pay attention to romance releases, unless they are fantasy or paranormal…although I do pick up some contemporary romances if they sound fun.
Great post!
I do also love fantasy or paranormal romances, though I tend to gravitate more towards contemporary romance lately.
There’s nothing wrong with that. I enjoy contemporary romances every so often as well. I’m definitely more in a fantasy/paranormal romance mood right now, though. The contemporary romance mood tends to strike around the beginning of summer most of the time for me now.
Summer is indeed a perfect time for contemporary romance! And I’m sure I’ll get back to fantasy romances soon enough, for now I’ll just go where my mood takes me and that’s indeed okay 🙂
Follow that reading mood!
I’m excited for so many of these! I actually just finished The Neighbor Favor and loved it.
Yay, so glad to hear you enjoyed The Neighbor Favor, I’m looking forward to reading that one too!
