Let’s talk about the new romance books hitting shelves (and e-readers) this week! For April’s first batch of releases, we’re getting everything from emotional long-distance soulmates to Regency romcom chaos to fantasy kings who are one unhinged growl away from ruining us.

In this episode of Reading Under the Covers, a romance novel podcast, I’m breaking down my most anticipated (or recommended) books releasing from March 31 to April 6, 2025 that deserve a spot on your TBR. Whether you're in the mood for something emotional, adventurous, or a little chaotic, there’s something here for every romance reader.

Plus, check out the newly upgraded Book Vault for paid Substack members — over 150 releases each month, now with filters so good it’ll feel like book matchmaking magic.
