68 of the Best Romance Books of 2026 So Far

Every month, The Kissing Books has a roundup of the best romance books out that month. Now that we’re halfway through the year, I’ve combined all of those picks into a collection: The Best Romance Books of 2026.

Anyone can browse Book Riot collections and click the covers to find the publisher’s description, the Book Riot recommendation, and links for where to purchase the title.

All Access members can create their own private and public collections, so if you want to keep track of the new romance releases on your TBR, that’s the best way to do it!
