This fresh take on When Harry Met Sally probably won't ever hit the TBR Pile. I haven't even seen When Harry Met Sally, but I know the plot. This book is a called a steamy enemies to lovers romance, which doesn't entice me at all.

This is one that might weave it's way into the TBR Pile. The like the twist on this trope with the female lead character as the bodyguard. Hannah Brooks is protecting Hollywood heartthrob Jack Stapleton from a stalker. When Jack needs to go home because of a family emergency, they pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend so nobody knows about his stalker. 

This will probably put me in some minority of readers, but misunderstood rich boy romances aren't my favorite; well unless they are rakes. In this novel, Henry Locke's mom wills her fortune to her dog, Smuckers. Vicky, who had agreed to take care of Smuckers after his owner dies, had no idea the pooch would inherit the woman's estate, which puts Henry and Vicky immediately at odds. We've also already discussed my dislike of enemies turned lovers stories. 

I recall wanting to read this book when it came out. I'm going to guess I skipped over how the male lead is kind of a jerk. It seems like fake romance is more of this book than enemies to lovers, so I might still give it a shot. 

This fake relationship romantic comedy involves being snowed in around Christmas. That means it is bound to make it into my TBR Pile at some point. I'm pretty sure I could simply read holiday romances for the rest of my life and be totally happy with that. 

August is a cynical young adult who has decided she is better off living alone. That is until she meets Jane on the subway. Then August discovers Jane doesn't just look like a an old school punk rocker, she's displaced from the 1970s. Time travel romance is something I enjoy, so this one could end up in my TBR Pile. 

This one is destined to join the other books in my TBR Pile awaiting my time. Shy and bookish Lily Greene has been corresponding with her favorite fantasy author, which turns into a friendship, until he ghosts her. Determined to find a date for her sister's wedding, she asks her new neighbor. Nick has always used a pen name for a reason, and he's fairly certain that Lily is the fan he's been emailing. Setting her up with someone else would be so much simpler if he could just get her out of his mind. 

The fact that I've wanted to read this book since it came out makes no sense based upon my earlier comments about enemies to lovers romances. Maybe it's the tropical setting. Maybe it has to do with the fact that there is a wedding. I'm really not sure. It seems like this would be as much fun as Nellie Oleson marrying Albert Ingalls if Little House on the Prairie were set in Maui during Willie Oleson's wedding to Rachel Brown. 

As I age, romances featuring more mature (at least chronologically) capture my attention. This one sounds like a blast. Evie Gallagher quickly regrets her hasty move into a care home, so she sets off on an adventure across Europe. Her son Brendan and his wife follow a trail of puzzling messages to bring her home, but it will become clear to them that Evie hasn't given up on life and love. I need to add this to my TBR Pile right now. 

Have you read any of these? Hope you had fun putting your list together. I look forward to seeing how you approached this week's freebie.
