Tucson author Jessica Pryde offers her Top 10 romance novel titles.
Special to the Arizona Daily Star It would be stretching a point to suggest romance is more popular now than ever before. It has been pretty popular for a while now. But there is no question that romance fiction has become the hottest genre in literature.
Meet Jessica Pryde, who works at the Pima County Public Library and last year published a book of her own. “Black Love Matters“ offered a look at romance literature through the eyes of Black readers, writers and reviewers. Here are 10 books Pryde thinks you might enjoy reading before Valentine’s Day:

Somebody call Wordle! “Battle Royal” by Lucy Parker introduces us to Silvie Fairchild, who had charmed the world as a contestant on a baking show. Her run ended when she received a thumbs down from one of the judges: Dominik De Vere. After opening her own bakery, Silvie finds herself in another bakeoff with … guess who? At stake is the honor of providing the wedding cake for Princess Rose. Their two ovens aren’t the only things heating up.
