Keep Things Mild With These Sweet Closed Door Contemporary Romance Books

Poor Janey Jakes, the joke on one of America’s favorite sitcoms, has almost convinced people to take her seriously in Hollywood: all she needs is to get her first project approved. The only thing standing in her way is Dan Finnegan and the tiny little lie she told about Jack Quinlan writing a song for her movie. They may have had a moment 20 years ago, but she hasn’t talked to him since!

To actually follow through, she now has to rely on Dan to use his influence with Jack to get that song. Spending a week with Dan while facing her past isn’t going to be easy, but it’ll all be worth it when she’s a bigshot executive producer and gets the chance to stand in front of him with no secrets at all.

If it’s not dual POV, you don’t want it? Annabel Monaghan’s It’s a Love Story is totally the book for you! Though we don’t see behind closed doors, this was a finely-tuned symphony of flavor. Exploring Jane and Dan’s rivalry was refreshing and made their love story so much sweeter.

Ren has never stalked a crush on their socials or even held an iPhone, but that doesn’t mean she hasn’t explored the world in other ways. She’s read so many books, taught herself how to paint, and she knows how to make a wind power system from scratch.

None of this really means she knows what to do when it comes to living in the real world at Corona College, but she’s going to learn; even if that means she’s set Fitz’s plan to graduate top of his class and erase his criminal record on fire. An assignment in their immunology class might just be the only way to achieve both goals and so much more.

Christina Lauren excels at reading the room and delivering books you won’t want to miss! As a retelling of the beloved Tangled movie, keeping this one clean gives the story the development it needs by relying on what we know about the characters we love, without worrying about how to handle deeper intimacy that doesn’t feel necessary to the story.

What would you do if it seemed like maybe you were going to get fired? Sam Becker’s answer: fake amnesia. If it’s the only way he’s going to keep his job as the manager of a bed and bath retailer, then he’ll absolutely pretend he doesn’t remember anything until he can figure out how to convince Jonathan Forest that everyone at his store deserves to stay. Jonathan is a jerk, anyway, so what could go wrong? As it turns out, everything… Everything could go wrong.

Not only is Sam concussed, but he’s lying to a man who actually isn’t as bad as he seemed. He’s also, maybe a little bit, falling in love with this version of Jonathan (who is still his boss), which means Sam needs to find a way to tell Jonathan that he’s not really missing any memories and hope coming clean is enough to encourage whatever seems to be growing between them and save his employees’ jobs.

Adele is immune to everything the sweet-talking cowboy, Elton, has done to get her attention. That is, until he finds himself on the wrong side of the law. Of course, this isn’t the best kind of attention, but he’ll take having her any way he can–even if it means being the “bad boy.”

As they grow closer, though, he starts to realize that maybe he doesn’t actually want to be the kind of person he’s becoming, and Adele’s definitely not interested in it either. If he really wants to change, though, he needs to ask himself: How does an outlaw become a model citizen?

This seasoned author is one of the most prolific in the closed door romance genre, with years of amazing books in her backlog, including this cowboy romance!
