Staff Picks: Sharnell Johnson’s Favorites
Hi! I’m Sharnell, and I run on romance audiobooks, good vibes, and catchy showtunes. As a library marketer, I hype books all day to amazing librarians, then wind down by reading birth charts, pulling oracle cards, and co-hosting the Thirsty Mothas podcast. I’m a romance addict, but I dabble in fantasy, thrillers, and anything with heart. Reality TV is my happy place. Find me on Instagram at @book_babble_bae.

Add to BookshelfHow to Sell a Romance
by Alexa Martin
Alexa Martin can do no wrong! This book gave me all the feels I’ve come to expect from her stories. Emerson is a charming, quirky heroine you’ll root for, and Luke — her swoon-worthy love interest and devoted single dad — definitely ups the heartthrob factor. Add a memorable supporting cast and you’ve got a read that’s heartwarming, funny, and full of personality. Fair warning: It’s on the spicy side!

For Your Own Good
by Samantha Downing
Samantha Downing is so good at writing awful people, and this one totally delivers. For Your Own Good is set at a fancy private school where Teacher of the Year Teddy Crutcher just wants everyone to stay out of his way so he can “help” his students reach their full potential. Never mind the missing wife or the suspicious deaths piling up around him. This was impossible to put down!

The Kiss Quotient
by Helen Hoang
There are very few books I can re-read and love just as much every time — The Kiss Quotient is one of them. It’s sweet, sexy, funny, and just so full of heart. Stella, a brilliant, math-minded heroine with autism, hires Michael, a swoony (and surprisingly tender) escort to help her get more comfortable with intimacy … and sparks fly in the best way. If you loved The Rosie Project or Crazy Rich Asians, this one’s a must-read.
