We asked some of our favorite bestselling romance authors to give us their Valentine's Day recommendations. Which will you be giving, or bingeing on, this February 14th?

 

Favorite Love Story

A.L. Jackson recommends The Law of Moses by Amy Harmon:

"The Law of Moses is hands-down my favorite book. I have never been quite as affected as I was by this love story. It marked me and I carry it with me always."

Meghan Quinn chooses A Lot Like Adios by Alexis Daria. She says, "Second chance romance with a childhood best friend ... is my cup of tea!"

My name is Jen Webster, and I am a team member, site curator and pinner extraordinaire for BingeBooks. I also pen the blog The Immersive Bookshelf. My blog’s chief focus is on reviewing my immersive reading experiences.

What is an immersive reading experience you say? Well, let me tell you, it is an experience worth trying. Immersive reading is listening to an audiobook while following along with the book. Whether it be a paperback, hardback, or a digital copy on your e-reader, the results are the same. Pairing a fantastic book with a phenomenal narrator and you have a reading experience that is spectacular!

If you love a book or series, and you get lucky enough to get a great narrator that can truly bring the story to life, you will experience it in a way you never expected to …

We asked cozy mystery authors Sara Rosett and Tonya Kappes to answer a few questions …

 

BingeBooks: How did you start writing?

Sara: I'd always dreamed of writing a mystery and when I had my second child, I thought "my life is only going to get busier," so I started writing during nap time a couple of days a week. I researched the publishing industry while I was writing the draft and went to writers conferences.

After about three years of writing and revising I had a novel. I queried agents the old-fashioned way, with a letter, and found an agent. She sold the manuscript in a 3-book deal. The book came out six years after I first started writing.

Tonya: I was a child therapist that belonged to a book club. It was my turn to host the book club and like most hosts of a book club, I'd …
