August 2026 Top 5 Clean Romance Books
Little Miss Goody Two-Shoes by Shelbey Kendall
Try something new! Ever felt stuck in a rut, thinking if there is more you want to do, try to be something new. This book wraps up that existential question with a wooing second-chance romance. Trust me, you will feel a little more settled once you finish this wonderful book.

- Dual POV
- Personal Growth

The Enemies' Island by Jessica King
Survivor vibes with enemies to lovers, my dream. If you are like me and love the show Survivor you will love this book and all the challenges it puts our soon to be couple through, also two villains you will love to hate.

The Bing Dink by Cynthia Gunderson
A quick read that got me through my book slump. Pickell ball is the new popular sport, and grumpy hottie who needs to train a sunshine just makes it all the better. Add in a deal of fake dating and no second act breakup or miscommunication, I am hooked!
Content:

Love Between Innings By Laura Langa
This is the second book in this series and I am obsessed. Hoopla actually was my first introduction to Laura and now I read every single book she write because she is just that good! This is a fake dating (only for the grandma), can't date in public, and will support each other in all areas of life romance.
Content:
- Off Limits romance
- Enemies to Friendship to lovers
- Emotional support for each other on the tough topics

The Heat of the Moment by Camilla Isley
Risk getting your heartbroken again, with this firefighter it might be worth it. Pinning at its finest with swoon worthy kisses and man not willing to give up so easily.
