Brothers of the Vine
Forever Evermore
Women of W.A.R.
Let’s be straight, it’s 2020 and there are a thousand ways to celebrate (or not!) Valentine’s Day. You might be wining and dining with a lover, bemoaning your love life with a tub of ice cream on the couch watching Gilmore Girls for the fifth time, despising the capitalist machine that is cheesy cards and flowers via a salty Facebook status (do people still make those?), or somewhere in between. But it is a truth universally acknowledged that on Valentine’s Day (and every day!) you deserve to treat yourself. And what better way than with a guaranteed happy ending, via a spot of drama, many lingering looks and some inevitable bedroom hijinks? Do yourself a favour and show yourself some lovin’ this Valentine’s with one of these romantic reads!

It will make your love life look like a cakewalk! Perfect for anyone looking to assuage their Valentine’s Day drama with someone else’s.

This is one racy read that’s will have you forgetting that sub-par Valentine’s date you wish you hadn’t gone on.

Look, I get it, I too wish my current life’s problems revolved around me being the runaway princess to a suave Italian, but the reality is that’s probably unlikely to happen. However, Valentine’s Day is also a day for loving yourself, and the best way to do that is to indulge your fantasies. Let yourself be swept into a world of billionaires, royal weddings and Italy, the land of love.

Variety is the spice of life (or is that garlic powder? Both are good!), so it would be silly to assume that everyone’s ideal Valentine’s Date is a schmancy restaurant and a bouquet of roses. Some amongst us want action, adventure and tough issues as a backdrop to their ardour. If overcoming trauma, living with a disability, saving endangered wildlife and navigating a complex political landscape, all whilst learning to love again is your vibe, let T.M. Clark take you on a ride!
