Dual POV Romance Books That Will Have You Swooning
The One with the Kiss Cam by Cindy Steel
This book was just pure delight! Nora is on a disastrous first date at an NBA game. But when her date gets up to get concessions, the kiss cam hovers over her and the stranger sitting next to her…let’s just say it might just be love at first kiss! (She also has a number of other fun closed-door dual POV romance books including That Fine Line and Double or Nothing.)
Yours Truly by Abby Jimenez
Abby Jimenez does a great job with the “romance with substance” books, plus she gets an A for witty banter. (Note that her books are more open-door than Sophie Kinsella’s). And this is one of my favorites of hers!
Beg, Borrow, or Steal by Sarah Adams
This one sucked me in and is by far my FAVORITE book of hers! It’s your classic rivals to lovers trope – but with some depth to it. I absolutely loved it! Although this is book #3 of the When in Rome series, all the books standalone with a few crossover characters. (I also have a 30 second book review of it here)
Attachments by Rainbow Rowell
I am SUCH a fan of this book about a computer security guy who starts reading the emails between two women who work at the newspaper after their emails get flagged by the filtering software and then falls in love with one of them despite the fact that she has no idea he even exists. (Full review here)
Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
After I mentioned my love for Lovely War, so many people have told me I’ll love this new book that includes Greek gods – and I must admit, it’s excellent. Two rival journalists fall in love as they take on the warring gods and, you know, the fate of all mankind.
Evvie Drake Starts Over by Linda Holmes
This was such a fun, delightful romantic comedy (with a little bit of heaviness) that I blew through in two days. Evvie Drake has just lost her husband (he dies in the first chapter) and Dean Tenney is a World Series winning pitcher for the Yankees who suddenly can’t pitch anymore and he has no idea why. When he escapes the endless news about his fall from grace in New York, he ends up renting the apartment in Evvie’s too-big-for-her house and the two strike up friendship, based on the agreement that he won’t ask about her late husband and she won’t ask him about baseball. You can imagine how long THOSE rules last. As far as swearing and sex, this one is about on par with Sophie Kinsella’s books.
The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
I was drawn in by the premise of this book – two people who live in the same apartment, but have never met – but then I was drawn in by the characters, the story and the unexpected humor. Tiffy is coming off a bad breakup and needs a new place in a hurry and Leon only uses his apartment for sleeping during the day since he works a graveyard shift. As the two start leaving notes for each other (at first slightly snippy), they slowly come to like each other but. . . they’ve still never met.
The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren
This is my favorite of their books by a long shot (it also felt the spiciest of their books!) When starving artist Anna learns she’s still technically married to Liam “West” Weston, a now wealthy Stanford professor and reluctant heir, he ropes her into faking five years of wedded bliss to secure his inheritance. You better believe sparks are going to fly – in the most dramatic way possible, of course!
And here are some recommendations from my audience for dual POV romance books:
First Time Caller by B.K. Borison
This one follows a jaded radio host and a single mom whose worlds collide after her daughter calls into his show, let’s just say it sparked a viral moment and an unexpected connection. It’s charming, a little swoony, and inspired by Sleepless in Seattle.
The Roughest Draft by Emily Wibberley
This second-chance, enemies-to-lovers romance follows two former coauthors forced back together to finish one last book…despite the messy fallout that ended their partnership years ago. Set in a small Florida town, it’s full of tension and chemistry as they discover that love, like writing, sometimes takes a few drafts to get right.
Good Spirits by B.K. Borison
I loved her Christmas book Lovelight Farms, and this magical holiday romance sounds just as fun! It brings in an Irish ghost, unexpected connections, and a fun A Christmas Carol twist. Festive, a little whimsical, and full of heart – perfect if you want a Christmas story with a touch of the supernatural and a satisfying romance at its center.
The Friendship Fling by Georgia Stone
An opposites-attract, friends-to-lovers romance about a prickly, routine-loving barista and a sunshiney Irish charmer who decide on a strictly no-strings summer friendship…what could possibly go wrong!? Full of banter, swoony London adventures, and that satisfying slow realization that their rules were doomed from the start.
My Phony Valentine by Courtney Walsh
I love a fake-romance trope, and this sounds like it has plenty of chemistry, humor, and that irresistible “wait…are we pretending?” tension. This one follows a struggling restaurant owner and a bad-boy hockey star who strike up a very public “relationship” that quickly starts to feel a little too real.
