Last year, I really enjoyed reading sports-themed romance novels. For the most part, these books tend to be “clean” (aka: no explicit descriptions of sex) and are fun, quick reads. And, with the popularity of the Traylor romance, girls everywhere are wondering how they can land a sports star, too. In preparation for Valentine’s Day this week, we’re reading more fun sports-themed romance books, but I’ll also be introducing you to the Queens of Crime – the all-female mystery writers’ guild that worked to solve a real-life murder mystery in Golden Age Europe.
Here’s the books I’m looking forward to discussing with you this week. Grab your copies of these books by clicking the images below:
RWL Reading Challenge – Week 6: Sports-themed Romance
My Phony Valentine
by Courtey Walsh
Posting on Tuesday, February 4th
Neither the hockey star nor the baker are looking for love – they really just want to stay out of the spotlight. But when a misunderstanding turns into a windfall for both of them, they have a choice to make – pretend to date…or do it for real?
Here’s some other great books that would work for this prompt:
- Better than Revenge, Kasie West
- Mr. Broody, Piper Rayne
- Hard Hitter, Sarina Bowen
- Hook Shot, Kennedy Ryan

The Queens of Crime
by Marie Benedict
Posting on Saturday, February 8th
I have always been intrigued by Agatha Christie, but even more so since reading The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont. This book picks up just after Christie’s disappearance and explores her friendship with Dorothy Sayers and the other Queens of Crime – a group of female crime writers driven to find their place in a still male-driven industry in 1930’s Great Britan.
