THURSDAY: Romance Book Club (July 2025)

Hey, Romance Book Club friends! What's coming for July!? A sun‑soaked, slow‑burn romance set in a Sicilian villa, where explosive chemistry meets a “problematic” age‑gap that’s handled with emotional depth and care.

💖 Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood 💖
When 23‑year‑old Maya begrudgingly attends her brother’s destination wedding in Taormina, she’s reunited with Conor, her brother’s 38‑year‑old best friend and long‑time crush. For one breathtaking week, trapped together amid cliffside views and wedding chaos, their simmering tension finally ignites. Expect sharp wit, complex feelings, and a steaminess that builds to a volcanic payoff. It’s passion, pining, and power dynamics, all with a Sicilian summer backdrop you’ll feel in every scene.

Perfect for readers who enjoyed:

• all the enemies-to-lovers

• intelligent, emotionally savvy narrators in The Love Hypothesis or Deep End
