Hey, reader friends! I put together this list of fabulous no-spice contemporary young adult romance books, all of which are part of the No-Spice Book Spree put on by Pixie Perkins. I made this pull-out list for readers and parents looking for no-spice romance books for TEEN readers. All of these novels include teen protagonists and are on sale for only $0.99 for one weekend only: April 18-19.
I haven’t read all of these titles, but I’ll include what the author had to say about them. It’s my understanding that the sale prices for these e-books can be found on Amazon in the US and UK stores.
When her childhood best friend turned enemy arrives back in town after three years, Emma must decide whether to hold onto that grudge or open her heart and finally forgive.
