5 Romance Novels Where He Yearns
Jane Austin may just be the woman who invented yearning, and nothing slow burns quite like this classic. If you’ve only read it in school, it may be worth taking it for another spin. It’s a classic for a reason and if you haven’t read it yet, well you just might be missing out.
2.100 Promises
A runaway bride, a first love, a second chance… it’s basically the perfect recipe for yearning, and this small town romance certainly cooks. With dual POVs and short chapters Meliá Grasska’s 100 Promises is the page turner of the summer.
3. The Summer I Turned Pretty
It’s no surprise that The Summer I Turned Pretty made it to the top of this list. After the success of the show on both Prime Video and socials, Jenny Han’s The Summer I Turned Pretty brought yearning to the masses. And while this story is certainly nothing new, it’s also not one to be brushed over. A perfect combination of coming-of-age and friends-to-lovers, nobody yearns quite like an older brother.
4.Rivals
There’s not just one man yearning in this read, but many. And that’s because Jilly Cooper doesn’t just do love triangles, she does love webs. Rivals is a modern take on a classic English romance, with all the pining and conniving expected, but well modernized to keep readers on their toes.
5.Talking at Night
While we personally like our romances a little more light-hearted, Talking at Night captures the longing of a will they/won’t they relationship. Taking place over two decades, this dual perspective romance puts the burn in slow burn.
