Can we chat about something that's been driving us all crazy? If you're like us, scrolling through #BookTok or Instagram has probably left you thinking, "Where are all the romance books for women like us?"
Look, we love a good twenty-something finding their way in love, but let's be real - romance doesn't expire at 35. If anything, it gets better! We've got life experience, we know who we are, and honestly, our love stories are way more interesting.
The Problem With Today's Romance Scene
Let's address the elephant in the room: most book influencers are barely old enough to remember flip phones. While they're amazing at what they do, they're not exactly sharing books about women navigating love while juggling careers, maybe some kids, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with being in our prime.
Enter M.L. Broome's Seasoned Hearts Series
This is where ML Broom comes in like a breath of fresh air. Her Seasoned Hearts series is exactly what we've been waiting for. These books? They're about us. Real women, real situations, real romance - minus the quarter-life crisis drama.
Each book stands alone (because who has time to read things in order?), but they all share one amazing thing: mature characters who know a thing or two about life and love.
Why These Books Hit Different
You know those moments when you're reading, and you just think, "Yes! Finally, someone gets it!"? That's what these books do. They're not about first loves - they're about best loves. About finding romance when you least expect it, about second chances, about knowing your worth and finding someone who sees it too.
The Bottom Line
Look, we're not "too old" for romance - we're just getting to the good part! ML Broom's books celebrate that. They're proof that the best love stories don't have an age limit, and neither does happily ever after.
So next time someone tries to hand you another book about college sweethearts, point them toward the Season's Heart series instead. Because romance isn't just for the young - it's for the young at heart, the been-there-done-that crowd, and everyone who knows that love gets better with age.
