Two-for-Tuesday: Pretty in Pink 🎀

Some romances are soft and sweet — others are bright, bold, and impossible to ignore. This week’s pairing is for readers who love stories with sparkling banter, heartfelt moments, and covers that pop in unapologetic shades of pink.

📚 The Pairing

1. Call It What You Want by Alissa Derogatis

A nostalgic ode to every “almost love” story — the kind with no labels, just undeniable intensity. Sloane Hart is a hopeless romantic, but after her parents’ divorce, she’s sworn off love to focus on her dreams of becoming a writer in New York City. Then she meets Ethan Brady — guarded, magnetic, and unwilling to let anyone too close. Their label-free romance is as bittersweet as it is beautiful, forcing Sloane to decide whether to fight for what they have or learn to let go. A tender, heart-tugging tale of love, self-discovery, and the messy in-betweens.

2. The Love Audit (Sweet Peach, Book 1) by Annah Conwell

Working with your enemy is bad enough — working and socializing with them? Maddening. But for all her banter and bickering with grumpy Callum Sterling, our sunny heroine can’t deny the sparks between them. As weekly work meetings turn into undeniable chemistry, Callum’s walls — and trust issues — may prove harder to break than she imagined. This sweet, closed-door grumpy/sunshine romcom is full of charm, wit, and Atlanta small-business vibes, making it a feel-good kickoff to the Sweet Peach Series.

☕ Why They’re Perfect Together

While Call It What You Want leans wistful and reflective, The Love Audit delivers playful banter and sunny sweetness. Both explore the vulnerability of letting someone in — whether you’re guarding your heart because of the past or because you can’t quite see the future. Together, they’re a celebration of bold romance, vibrant characters, and the kind of chemistry that leaps off the page.

💡 Perfect Pairing Tip: Sip on a strawberry matcha latte or pink lemonade for a reading experience as colorful as the covers themselves.
