If you're looking for a story that can take you away from winter's monotony and warm you up from the inside out, these five winter spicy romance novels—filled with rugged landscapes, passionate love, and a touch of adventure—are my personal favorites and recommendations for this time of year. So, without further ado, here are the top 5 winter reads that will keep you warm this season!
1. The Simple Wild by K.A. Tucker
Setting: Alaskan Wilderness
In the icy expanse of Alaska, The Simple Wild delivers an unforgettable romance with a backdrop as wild and untamed as the characters themselves. Calla, a city girl from Toronto, ventures to Alaska to reconnect with her estranged father. But she never expects to clash with Jonah, a rugged and brooding bush pilot who holds a deep grudge against her. As Calla navigates the harsh elements of Alaska, she finds herself falling for Jonah—despite their differences. The vast, snow-covered landscapes create a perfect tension between the warmth of romance and the chill of isolation, making this book an ideal read when you’re craving a love story that thrives in the cold. The Simple Wild is about more than just love—it’s about healing, forgiveness, and finding beauty in unexpected places.
2. The Hating Game by Sally Thorne
Setting: A Cozy Office in Winter
While not set in an icy wilderness, The Hating Game is still an awesome winter read. Set in a competitive office environment during the holiday season, this romantic comedy centers on Lucy and Joshua, two coworkers who share an intense (and often hilarious) animosity. As the holiday season approaches, they find themselves forced into a series of increasingly close interactions. The chemistry between them is electric, and what begins as hate soon transforms into an undeniable attraction. With witty banter and a sweet, steamy romance, this book will warm you up from the inside out, even if you’re just stuck in an office building rather than a snowstorm.
3. Snowfall on Haven Point by RaeAnne Thayne
Setting: A Small Mountain Town
For those who love small-town charm and snowy vistas, Snowfall on Haven Point is an absolute must-read....think the spicy book version of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Set in the picturesque town of Haven Point, this heartwarming romance tells the story of Holly, a woman who returns to her childhood home after a painful breakup. There, she meets her old flame, a rugged and brooding firefighter named Luke, who has also been scarred by past wounds. As they reconnect in the magical setting of a snowy mountain town, they must confront their pasts—and the undeniable feelings they still have for each other. The peaceful snowfall, cozy cabins, and tight-knit community make this a wonderful pick for those craving warmth amid winter’s chill, and is an absolute must-read for the Hallmark Christmas movie fans.
4. Winter’s Touch by Melody Grace
Setting: A Secluded Beach in the Winter
Though it’s set during winter, Winter’s Touch takes a different approach by combining the chilly air with a stunning seaside escape. This book takes place on a secluded beach in the North of England, where Ella, a woman escaping heartbreak, retreats to a quiet cottage to find peace and solitude. But when she meets Ash, a local who has his own painful history, sparks fly. The romance between Ella and Ash heats up against the cold winds and the beauty of the coast, creating a perfect blend of stormy weather and passionate love. If you’re looking for a winter romance with a bit of a twist—where the frosty elements are paired with the warmth of a slow-burning romance—this one’s for you.
5. The Winter Sea by Dianna Gabaldon
Setting: Scottish Coastline in Winter
If you’re in the mood for historical romance, The Winter Sea by Dianna Gabaldon (best known for Outlander) will transport you to the windswept, snow-covered coast of Scotland. This novel weaves together the stories of Carrie, a writer who begins to uncover long-lost secrets about her family, and the passionate romance between her ancestors during the Jacobite uprising.
