Katy Collins
I love a reader interview! Katy and I chatted about how she got into romance. What kept her connected over the years, and what she’s devoured since finding her romance passion about a year ago. Books/authors we talked about are:
Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon (blog post here!)
Emily Henry (I would start with Book Lovers, we also mentioned Funny Story & The Love That Split The World*)
Ali Hazelwood (I would start with Love on the Brain or Bride, we also mentioned The Love Hypothesis)
ACOTAR (A Court of Thorn and Roses), A Court of Mist and Fury , Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
Fourth Wing and Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros
From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Evie Dunmore’s A League of Extraordinary Women series. First one is: Bringing Down the Duke
Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner
Red, White & Royal Blue, One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston
She Drives Me Crazy by Kelly Quindlen
Weekday Bride Series by Catharine Bybee. The first one is: Wife by Wednesday

R.L. Caulder. I could not figure out which one has 8 MMCs. I’m about to read the Blood Oath series.
The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert
Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty
One of the things Katy mentioned was how reading romantasy a paranormal allowed for her to suspend her disbelief in a way she typically hadn’t in contemporary romance, or general fiction. I feel the same way, and it allows me to get out of my own head and deeper into the story.
