Are you on a book buying budget?
I always seem to be on a budget! Books can be expensive, and if I don’t pay attention, I can easily buy books on end, without a care, until I get my bill at the end of the month.
Because of that, I have been a KINDLE UNLIMITED fan and user for many years. As with every subscription I sometimes take a break. Amazon makes that fairly easy to do – which I appreciate. But I also always come back and rejoin, because there is just something alluring about the idea that I can read as many KU titles as I can squeeze in for just $9.99 a month.
Also many favorite romance authors put their newest and latest books into KINDLE UNLIMITED. And for only $9.99 a month (sometimes less depending on DEALS), there is an almost unlimited supply of books.
BTW, I made a list of my most favorite romance books on KU – check it out. You might find your next favorite book. 😀
Unfortunately for me, finding something in KU feels like searching for the proverbial needle in a haystack – and at times it’s impossible to find quality content.
SO I THOUGHT I’LL MAKE IT EASIER ON MY FELLOW ROMANCE READERS
I sat down to compile some of my favorite romance authors, that are currently (as of MAY 2020) available in KINDLE UNLIMITED. Please be aware, sometimes authors have only some of their catalog available in KU, other times all of it, and more times they adjust their available books or leave KU altogether. It’s always changing.

L.J SHEN
Entire book collection available in KU
L.J. Shen has cornered the market for ALPHA JERKS. The first time I read one of her books, it was SPARROW, I was blown away by it. By the writing, the storytelling, and her amazingly entertaining and HOT alpha heroes. Since then I’ve read almost all of her books. And some like DIRTY HEADLINES will always be a favorite of mine.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
Emilia
They say love and hate are the same feelings experienced under different circumstances, and it’s true.
The man who comes to me in my dreams also haunts me in my nightmares.
He is a brilliant lawyer.
A skilled criminal.
A beautiful liar.
iA bully and a savior, a monster and a lover.
Ten years ago, he made me run away from the small town where we lived. Now, he came for me in New York, and he isn’t leaving until he takes me with him.Vicious
She is a starving artist.
Pretty and evasive like cherry blossom.
Ten years ago, she barged into my life unannounced and turned everything upside down.
She paid the price.
Emilia LeBlanc is completely off-limits, my best friend’s ex-girlfriend. The woman who knows my darkest secret, and the daughter of the cheap Help we hired to take care of our estate.
That should deter me from chasing her, but it doesn’t.
So she hates me. Big fucking deal.
She better get used to me.
GET VICOUS
Troy Brennan
Every Southie in Boston knows that name. The son of a dead mobster. The heart-throb with steel-blue eyes. “The Fixer” who can make or break you in this city.
Oh, and my new husband.
Sparrow Raynes
That’s me. No one seemed to remember my name up until he barged into my life.
But then he caged me.
Kidnapped me.
And killed every chance I had to run away from the place where we grew up.
Put simply, Troy Brennan clipped my wings.I have dreams, big ones, but I doubt he’ll ever let me chase them. I have no idea why he decided to take me as his wife. But I do know this: pissing off this man will not do me any good. At all.
GET SPARROW
Célian Laurent.
Manhattan royalty.
Notorious playboy.
Heir to a media empire.
…And my new boss.I could have impressed him, if not for last month’s unforgettable one-night stand.
I left it with more than orgasms and a pleasant memory–namely, his wallet.
Now he’s staring me down like I’m the dirt under his Italian loafers, and I’m supposed to take it.
But the thing about being Judith “Jude” Humphry is I have nothing to lose.
Brooklyn girl.
Infamously quirky.
Heir to a stack of medical bills and a tattered couch.
When he looks at me from across the room, I see the glint in his eyes, and that makes us rivals.
He knows it.
So do I.
Every day in the newsroom is a battle.
Every night in his bed, war.
But it’s my heart at stake, and I fear I’ll be raising the white flag.
GET DIRTY HEADLINES
R.S. GREY
Entire book collection available in KU
R.S. Grey wrote one of my all time favorite NA sports romances of all times – SCORING WILDER!!! I adore this book and read it annually or whenever I’m in a reading slump. RS GREY is known for her rom-coms, as well as second chance NA books that should be on everyone’s reading list. If you need a funny and lighthearted read – check out these recommendations.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
What started out as a joke— seduce Coach Wilder—soon became a goal she had to score.
With Olympic tryouts on the horizon, the last thing nineteen-year-old Kinsley Bryant needs to add to her plate is Liam Wilder. He’s a professional soccer player, America’s favorite bad-boy, and has all the qualities of a skilled panty-dropper.
A face that makes girls weep – check.
Abs that can shred Parmesan cheese (the expensive kind) – check.
Enough confidence to shift the earth’s gravitational pull – double check.Not to mention Liam is strictly off limits . Forbidden. Her coaches have made that perfectly clear. (i.e. “Score with Coach Wilder anywhere other than the field and you’ll be cut from the team faster than you can count his tattoos.”) But that just makes him all the more enticing…Besides, Kinsley’s already counted the visible ones, and she is not one to leave a project unfinished.
Kinsley tries to play the game her way as they navigate through forbidden territory, but Liam is determined to teach her a whole new definition for the term “team bonding.”
GET SCORING WILDER
Dr. Russell has a bad reputation around our hospital. The scrub techs say he’s cold-blooded, the nurses say he’s too cocky for his own good, and the residents say he’s the best surgeon in the world—really, just a swell guy!—on the off chance he’s within earshot.
I try to avoid him and his temper at all costs. It’s just as easy to admire his sexy, grip-it-while-he’s-ravishing-you hair and chiseled jaw from a healthy distance, preferably from the other end of the hallway…half-hidden behind a plant.
Unfortunately, my plan crumbles when my trusty ol’ boss decides to swap his white coat for a Hawaiian shirt. His retirement leaves me with two terrible options: switch specialties and spend months retraining, or take an open position as Dr. Russell’s surgical assistant.
That means I have to stand near him in the OR for hours on end and anticipate his every need without letting his biting words and bad attitude intimidate me. Oh, and as if that’s not difficult enough, my silly crush on him—the one I’ve tried to stomp on until it disappears—might just be reciprocated.
It’s fine.
I’m fine.lI take my job seriously. There will be no smoldering bedroom eyes across the operating table, no angry almost-kisses in the supply closet. (Well, no more of those.)
What’s the phrase? An apple a day keeps the doctor away?
Maybe I should go for a whole damn bushel.

CANDACE: KAT & YASMINE! DO NOT DALLY! Come straight home after work. Kat, don’t take the long route from the subway station just so you can pass by Cute Hot Dog Guy. This is important!
I’ve had THE BEST DAY. You won’t believe it. There I was in my preschool classroom, washing a bit of poo out of some soggy trousers, when this absolute babe came to collect his nephew from my class.
Truthfully, I thought I’d blacked out for a moment when I first saw him. He was a proper hunk with glorious brown hair, quite tall, and he had these arms. Are muscly arms supposed to turn me on? I’m panting just thinking about them.
Anyway, he told me he’s a professional foosball player. At least, I think that’s what he said. The tots can get quite loud near pick-up time.
YASMINE: Foosball? What are you on about? Have you gone mad?
KAT: Oh sod off. So what if I like to have a good look at Hot Dog Guy’s arse on my trek home after a hard day’s work? It’s called self-care.
CANDACE: Kat, you’re hopeless. Yasmine, yes—foosball! I suppose it’s a big thing over here in the States? We must investigate and learn everything we can.
By the way, he’s called Logan.
Logan + Candace. I think that sounds quite nice! I can hear the wedding bells now. Dum dum da-dum.
YASMINE: Oh good grief. I suppose we can do some snooping when I get home. I’ll grab wine on my way.
KAT: I’ll grab hot dogs.

ALESSANDRA TORRE
Partial book collection available in KU
Alessandra Torre is another one of my go-to authors. She is incredibly versatile writing unique and different stories, that captivate, enthrall and leave me wanting more. She is an author that always tries to write outside the box. Her romance genres range from sports romances to sexy, to rom-com.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
Baseball shouldn’t be a game of life and death…
The summer that Chase Stern entered my life, I was seventeen. The daughter of a legend, the Yankees were my family, their stadium my home, their dugout my workplace. My focus was on the game. Chase…he started out a distraction. A distraction with sex appeal poured into every inch of his six foot frame. A distraction who played like a God yet partied like a Devil.I tried to stay away. I couldn’t.
Then, the team started losing.
Women started dying.
And everything in my perfect world broke apart.

LUCY SCORE
Entire book collection available with KU
Lucy Score is a relatively new author to mine, but she wrote two of my most favorite rom-com books – both made it into my 5 star category. Her writing, characters and stories have wowed me again and again. And for readers loving rom-com novels, she is an author to watch. Her books are becoming more popular with each release.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
“You may be faking the relationship, but you’re not faking the orgasms.”
Downsized, broke, and dumped, 38-year-old Marley sneaks home to her childhood bedroom in the town she couldn’t wait to escape twenty years ago. Not much has changed in Culpepper. The cool kids are still cool. Now they just own car dealerships and live in McMansions next door. Oh, and the whole town is still talking about that Homecoming she ruined her senior year.
Desperate for a new start, Marley accepts a temporary teaching position. Can the girl banned from all future Culpepper High Homecomings keep the losing-est girls soccer team in school history from killing each other and prevent carpal tunnel in a bunch of phone-clutching gym class students?
Maybe with the help of Jake Weston, high school bad boy turned sexy good guy. When the school rumor mill sends Marley to the principal’s office to sign an ethics contract, the tattooed track coach, dog dad, and teacher of the year becomes her new fake boyfriend and alibi—for a price. The Deal: He’ll teach her how to coach if she teaches him how to be in a relationship.
Who knew a fake boyfriend could deliver such real orgasms? But it’s all temporary. The guy. The job. The team. There’s too much history. Rock bottom can’t turn into a foundation for happily ever after. Can it?
Warning: Story also includes a meet-puke, a bouffanted nemesis, a yard swan and donkey basketball, a teenage-orchestrated makeover, and a fake relationship that gets a little too real between the sheets.
GET ROCK BOTTOM GIRL
“Newsflash. You don’t buy me. You earn me.”
The bride is a doll. The groom is the perfect gentleman. But the rest of the wedding party? They’re the stuff of nightmares. Rich? Check. Vapid? Double Check. Entitled? Not enough checks in the world. And the Best Man? More like the Worst Man.
But Maid of Honor Franchesca takes her duties seriously. Kidnapped groom? She’s got this. Rude attendees? You just watch her handle them. So a Best Man with a big attitude and an even bigger…checkbook? Yeah, there’s no way she’s going to let that pretentious, judgmental jackhole ruin her best friend’s wedding. No matter how sexy he is. (Well, that’s the plan anyway…)
Aiden Kilbourn doesn’t do long-term relationships. He’s busy ruling the business world, and has yet to find a woman he can tolerate for longer than a month, two at the outside, anyway. Conquering the unconquerable is basically his bread and butter. And he hasn’t met a challenge that he can’t win. But Franchesca Baranski? This smart-mouthed girl from Brooklyn may just be his downfall.
GET THE WORST BEST MAN
Dominic was staring at me like he couldn’t decide whether to chop me into pieces or pull my hair and French kiss me.
Dominic
I got her fired. Okay, so I’d had a bad day and took it out on a bystander in a pizza shop. But there’s nothing innocent about Ally Morales. She proves that her first day of her new job… in my office… after being hired by my mother.So maybe her colorful, annoying, inexplicably alluring personality brightens up the magazine’s offices that have felt like a prison for the past year. Maybe I like that she argues with me in front of the editorial staff. And maybe my after-hours fantasies are haunted by those brown eyes and that sharp tongue.
But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the next Russo man to take advantage of his position. I might be a second-generation asshole, but I am not my father.
She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. And I’m going to fix it all. Don’t accuse me of caring. She’s nothing more than a puzzle to be solved. If I can get her to quit, I can finally peel away all those layers. Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette.

MARIANA ZAPATA
Entire book collection available in KU
OMG – favorite author alert!!!
What can I say about Mariana Zapata that hasn’t already been said – she is the queen of slow burn romances. Her novels WAIT FOR IT, THE WALL OF WINNIPEG AND ME and THE BEST THING have all been 5 star reads for me. She has an amazing way of writing stories that touch me in a very grounded way. Maybe because her heroines are all down to earth, authentic and totally relatable.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
If anyone ever said being an adult was easy, they hadn’t been one long enough.
Diana Casillas can admit it: she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing half the time. How she’s made it through the last two years of her life without killing anyone is nothing short of a miracle. Being a grown-up wasn’t supposed to be so hard.
With a new house, two little boys she inherited the most painful possible way, a giant dog, a job she usually loves, more than enough family, and friends, she has almost everything she could ever ask for.
Except for a boyfriend.
Or a husband.
But who needs either one of those?
GET WAIT FOR IT
Vanessa Mazur knows she’s doing the right thing. She shouldn’t feel bad for quitting. Being an assistant/housekeeper/fairy godmother to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary. She has plans and none of them include washing extra-large underwear longer than necessary.
But when Aiden Graves shows up at her door wanting her to come back, she’s beyond shocked.
For two years, the man known as The Wall of Winnipeg couldn’t find it in him to tell her good morning or congratulate her on her birthday. Now? He’s asking for the unthinkable.
What do you say to the man who is used to getting everything he wants?
GET THE WALL OF WINNIPEG AND ME
Some things are easily forgiven. Other things… not so much.

JEWEL E. ANN
Entire book collection available in KU
Jewel E Ann has become one of my auto-buy authors. Especially after reading LOOK THE PART which easily became my most beloved novel to date. She writes witty and stunningly beautiful novels that make you cry. She is an author to watch and read. Also, FORTUITY was another 5 star book for me.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
Flint Hopkins finds the perfect tenant to rent the space above his Minneapolis-based law office.
All the t’s are crossed and i’s dotted on Ellen’s application. Her references are good. And she’s easy on the eyes.
Until …
Flint discovers Ellen Rodgers, Board-Certified Music Therapist, plays music. Bongos, guitars, singing—not Beethoven administered through noise-cancelling headphones.
The cut-throat attorney serves up an eviction notice to the bubbly, constantly-humming redhead who’s too sexy for her own good. But luck is on Ellen’s side when Flint’s autistic son, Harrison, takes an instant liking to her. A single dad can’t compete with guitars—and rats. Yes, she has pet rats.
This woman …
She’s annoyingly happy with a constant need to touch him—adjust his tie, button his shirt, invade his space, and mess with his mind.
Still …
She must go.
Their lust-hate relationship escalates into something beautiful and tragic. This sexy, romantic-comedy explores the things we want, the things we need, and the impossible decisions parents and children make to survive.
GET LOOK THE PART

No husband.
No retirement plan.
And since her self-imposed man-ban—no need to shave above her knees.After a tragic accident, Gracelyn inherits her ten-year-old nephew. She signs a lease on a San Diego beach house and learns their neighbors for the summer are a sexy anatomy professor and his young daughter.
Professor Nathaniel Hunt has spent the last decade being a single dad … and not having sex.
So when he discovers Gracelyn has a peculiar outdoor stripping ritual, a million inappropriate thoughts fill his responsible mind.
When kisses are stolen, man-bans are broken, and summer comes to an end, will hearts stay in one piece and hope stay alive? Or will saying goodbye destroy everything?

AMY HARMON
Entire book collection available in KU
Amy Harmon has been a favorite author ever since I devoured Making Faces. The author started out as a YA writer and has branched out to fantasy and historical fiction since then. My favorites are below, especially Where The Lost Wander – which was my first 5 star book of 2020. But honestly, all of her books are MUST READs, her writing is just too good not to be read. And Where the Lost Wander was my first 5 star year of 2020.
BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS:
In this epic and haunting love story set on the Oregon Trail, a family and their unlikely protector find their way through peril, uncertainty, and loss.
The Overland Trail, 1853: Naomi May never expected to be widowed at twenty. Eager to leave her grief behind, she sets off with her family for a life out West. On the trail, she forms an instant connection with John Lowry, a half-Pawnee man straddling two worlds and a stranger in both.
But life in a wagon train is fraught with hardship, fear, and death. Even as John and Naomi are drawn to each other, the trials of the journey and their disparate pasts work to keep them apart. John’s heritage gains them safe passage through hostile territory only to come between them as they seek to build a life together.
When a horrific tragedy strikes, decimating Naomi’s family and separating her from John, the promises they made are all they have left. Ripped apart, they can’t turn back, they can’t go on, and they can’t let go. Both will have to make terrible sacrifices to find each other, save each other, and eventually…make peace with who they are.
GET WHERE THE LOST WANDER
Ambrose Young was beautiful. The kind of beautiful that graced the covers of romance novels, and Fern Taylor would know. She’d been reading them since she was thirteen. But maybe because he was so beautiful he was never someone Fern thought she could have…until he wasn’t beautiful anymore.
Making Faces is the story of a small town where five young men go off to war, and only one comes back. It is the story of loss. Collective loss, individual loss, loss of beauty, loss of life, loss of identity.It is the tale of one girl’s love for a broken boy, and a wounded warrior’s love for an unremarkable girl. This is a story of friendship that overcomes heartache, heroism that defies the common definitions, and a modern tale of Beauty and the Beast, where we discover that there is a little beauty and a little beast in all of us.

PLEASE always remember that the books/authors I’ve mentioned above were in KU at the time this blog post was written. Unfortunately authors have been known to switch out their KU catalog or entirely move out of KU. It’s a never-ending fluctuation.
THE BEST KINDLE UNLIMITED ROMANCE AUTHORS
These are great KU choices! I see a few I haven’t tried yet even.
Thank you!! For me the books in KU are such hit and misses at times, more misses recently. I’m having a hard time lately finding quality writing in KU ? – I might have already read the best authors in KU – lol.
This post really made me want to pick up a romance book next 😀 It’s been sooo long since I read one.
That’s when KU comes handy, especially if you are already a member. Many of the good quality indie authors are on KU, and every author that is represented and published by an AMAZON itself. You got a huge selection of books to pick from. And if you don’t like the books, just return them for something new.
AND they have a 30 day free trial. 😀
Great list! I love Amy Harmon ?
Thank you ? she is one if the BEST authors available on KU
This is a great list. Another author is Helena Hunting. Her All In series is available to read and listen in KU.
OMG, I thought about her, and even saw her books on Amazon, and totally spaced out ? but I think only her last trilogy is on KU since she is publishing with Montlake, and I haven’t read them yet.
I’ve had KU a few times, but also found it hard to find what to read! These all look like great choices!
Some of the bigger indie romance authors are in KU, but then they leave too, it’s always a back and forth. But if you know a few of the bigger names you can find some great books on KU. But it’s still a bit of a search too.
Great list! There are a few authors here I haven’t heard of before, so I’ll definitely be checking them out on my Kindle. Thanks for sharing 🙂
