The monotony in our daily lives has soaked up all the passion from our love lives. But, days like the International Kissing Day pop around to remind us to show our loved ones how much we simply adore them. This year, International Kissing Day commemorates on the 6^th of July and is a great way to rekindle the spark in your life, and what better way than to read a steamy romance novel?

Romance is one of the most sought-after genres. Ever feel like you have a boring afternoon and don’t know what to do? Read a romance novel. From reading about Catherine and Heathcliff in The Wuthering Heights to celebrating the passions and tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, romance is filled with the most celebrated reads that touched the readers’ hearts. Romance is a vast genre, resplendent with a variety of themes and sub-genres. These include fantasy romance books, historical romance, dark romance books, classic romance books, and rom-com books to name a few. Each subset deals with the dilemmas of connecting two or more people in a union that is filled with courtship, angst, yearning, and endless love. However, have you ever wondered why it is considered to be the most popular genre, worldwide?

Readers of romance literature somehow connect with the characters one way or the other. Romance books have been dumbed down for being limited to romanticism and finding love yet they are filled with so much more. The idea is to be swept into the maelstrom of emotions that readers can experience over and over, every time they open the book.  Your TBR list is incomplete if you do not have a romance book on the list. After all, what is life without a little spice?
