Best Reads of 2025

Happy New Year! 2025 was a year that did not go as I planned it. I set a lot of BIG reading goals for the year. I was going to finish a whole lot of author back lists. I was going to read more historical romance, because I love them. I was going to read some non-fiction and some non-romance historical fiction. But alas, 2025 had other plans for me. My husband was diagnosed with cancer at the end of January, and my reading goals went off the rails as life became all about the next appointment or procedure. So I didn't hit a lot of those goals. I didn't read as many books as I normally do. I opted out of a few ARC teams and several individual ARCs. Thankfully, the authors who give me the privilege of reading their books in advance were very understanding. I have felt loved and supported by the book community this year as I lived this journey with my husband.

So, for 2026 I have rolled goals forward. I will allow myself some grace if I don't meet them. I will allow myself to mood read when I need to. I will continue to be thankful for this community and the wonderful authors whose talent give me times to escape from the world's realities. I look forward to more wonderful reads this year, as I enjoy looking back on my five star reads from 2025.

As someone who has been reading romance most of my life, I am particular about what I read. I am not afraid to DNF a book. I also know by now which authors I love- and I read a lot of them. I know that the authors I ARC read for will deliver a book I love - and it makes up a big chunk of my reading in a normal year. This year, ARCs were about 35% of my reads. In years past, that number has been closer to 50%. The result is that my ratings tend to be higher on average than most reviewers. Honestly, if I don't love it, I wont read it. Life is too short. Especially right now in my life. I won't apologize for it, but I did want to explain why the percentages may seem a little skewed at first.

My "Best of 2025 "list is comprised of my five star reads from the year. I have divided them into trope elements to allow readers to search for the type of books they want to read-or that they love. As a result you may find some books listed in multiple categories. This year, I read a lot of some tropes as I leaned into mood reading. Other tropes I didn't read a lot this year.

If there is a category not mentioned in this list, or if the category doesn't have a lot of books, please check the labels search on the main page of my blog. It is very likely that I read a book like that and it was a four star (still excellent) read in 2025 or sometime in the last six years that this blog has been around. The label search will take you to my reviews of those books so you can see if they are what you want to read next.

I have also included the Amazon link to each book, and a picture of the cover as it was when I read the book. Please note: authors frequently change their book covers for a lot of reasons. I didn't try to keep up with that when I put this list together.

I did read a lot of new-to-me authors this year in both my search for a particular mood or in an effort to meet a reading challenge. I found a lot of wonderful authors along the way that I need to return to and read more. Several of them are in this list.

Without further ado, here are my best reads of 2025.
