Happy Monday, bookworms!
Can you believe we’re already halfway through December? That means it’s time for my favorite biannual posts of the year. I’m thrilled to share with all of you romance-reading bookworms a list of romance books releasing between January and June of 2022. These always take me FOREVER to compile but they are a favorite here on the blog. In fact, my 2021 release posts are constantly “trending” on the website so I’m taking it as a sign that these lists are useful to your TBR and not-so-useful to your wallets!
As always, before we get to the beautiful books, please note the following:
1. This list is not meant to be exhaustive. I miss books all the time because I rely on publisher catalogs to create these posts. For instance, there might be books without any covers yet which I do not include here. Further, it’s possible that I missed books on my own while browsing the catalogs, so apologies in advance for potential human error!
2. This list does not include any self-published titles. I choose not to feature self-published books in these lists because there’s not a database that I could use.
3. Some of these books are re-issues. Sometimes books get brand new covers and/or are released as new formats. It’s hard to tell by looking at the catalogs, so you may find a few of those in the list.
4. All books featured here will release between Jan 1st 2022 and June 30th 2022. Stay tuned for part 2 sometime next year.
5. I haven’t read most of these titles, so I can’t speak to the content in them. Reminder that this is simply a listing of titles. I also can’t guarantee that all of them end in a happily-ever-after. Again, I’m relying entirely on how a publisher classifies the book in the catalog. Anything classified as romance is included here.
As always, I have linked the books to their respective Goodreads pages. I hope you enjoy scrolling through this post and I hope you find some romance books to add to your TBRs.

Wow, this is amazing! Thank you for sharing it. What a great guide!
As usual, this list is amazingly put together! Love the colour blocks. And I want to read every single book whichI simply can’t but we shall try lol.
Thank you for this list! I love how you grouped titles by their covers.
For once I’m not going to shout at you for posting this because I am actually not that focused on new releases this year considering I missed like 2 years worth of books. I will say I’m impressed at all the pretty covers and how many books there are to look forward to. I might get to reading some of them by about 2025 knowing me.
OH MY what a list! Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to compile all of these together, I have a thousand different tabs opened now to check them all out ahah.Thank you for this! 😍
How will I read them all!!! Seriously, there are so many books coming out. I have to get cutthroat about which ones to pick.
As always, thank you for your labor.
Also bravo to All the Duke I Need. It’s rare you see a solo male model on a HR cover!
I love this! I like how you separated this in types of covers, so cool!
I LOVE your new release guides, Nick! Thank you so much for taking the time to put these together!!
DAMN! 😍 What a great guide. Especially love the historical gowns section because I wanna read them all. I’m gonna have to come back to this list for sure!
You are SO GOOD at putting these lists together. Thanks for bringing several books on to my radar and for doing the work for us! You da best!!
Wow! This had to take forever with all those books! Thanks for sharing them with us! I see a few I’ve read ARCs of (and loved) and some I want to read. I love that the illustrated covers have stepped away from so many yellow. Looks like lots of blues and purples this year. I would love to see even more couples and single models.
Nick. You are amazing collating majority of the books coming out next year. I’ve read Reminders of Him and enjoyed it. I’m excited for the rest of the books here! Hopefully, I’ll get enough time to read them. 🙂 Thank you for this!
Such a long list! I’m definitely saving this so I don’t miss out on them. I already have a few of the list that I need to start reading soon. Thank you for putting this together!
