The first challenge with this list was to define what a feminist romance book was. I… failed. I’m sorry. I realised this would take me weeks to debate and I probably wouldn’t come to a clear answer. So I gave up, and these are the books that ‘felt right’ for this list.
- A Gentleman Undone, Cecilia Grant
- Unmasked by the Marquess, Cat Sebastian
- The Suffragette Scandal, Courtney Milan
- Hold Me, Courtney Milan
- The Rakess, Scarlett Peckham
- Small Change, Roan Parrish
- Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade
- Bitten, Kelly Armstrong
- Beg for it, Megan Hart
- Deal with the Devil, Kit Rocha
Some other faves that aren’t romances
- This Charming Man, Marion Keyes (there is a HEA for all main characters)
- Girl, Woman, Other, Bernadine Evaristo*
- The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood*
