The relative lack of New Year’s Eve romance novels is somewhat confusing. There is something magical about New Year’s Eve, after all. The sense of possibility is irresistible: that’s what leads so many of us to make resolutions that, like clockwork, are usually abandoned sometime in mid-January. Reasonably, we know that the world won’t magically change because the calendar gives us a new number. We won’t suddenly develop a better work ethic, clearer skin, or go from being a couch potato to running a half-marathon on January 1. But something about the countdown to New Year’s makes us feel a change for the better could be in the cards anyway. Whether you’re the type who makes resolutions or not, I hope you let yourself feel the magic of the end of year. The possibilities. And whatever 2022 brings you, I hope you let yourself enjoy this time in-between. Maybe these New Year’s Eve romance novels can help you capture that feeling. In the mood for more festive romances? We’ve got you. While the matchmaking service is a plus on Dulcina’s list, it’s only another undercover operation for Enforcement Agent Mikal Knight. Resigned, he heads off to meet his would-be one night stand…only to find his little sister’s best friend, also known as the woman he’s returned to town for. Bonus: Katrina Jackson has another New Year’s Eve romance that’s also a heist story: Grand Theft N.Y.E.
