00:00:00
If your TBR has room for just one more book this summer, maybe
2
:
00:00:04
make it eight because July is coming in
with some hot pirates, pandemics, dark
3
:
00:00:10
romantasy, and a new book by Ruth Ware.
4
:
00:00:13
So let's talk about the July 2025 book
releases that you will not want to miss.
5
:
00:00:19
hey everyone.
6
:
00:00:20
I'm Francesca.
7
:
00:00:20
Welcome to Under the Covers, and
today I am sharing eight books
8
:
00:00:23
that are releasing in July of 2025.
9
:
00:00:25
That I think should be on your TBR.
10
:
00:00:27
I'm kicking things off with the
woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware.
11
:
00:00:32
now, this is a thriller
and Ruth Ware classic.
12
:
00:00:35
If you like Agatha
Christie must read author.
13
:
00:00:38
She has taken us back into
the world of Lo Blacklock.
14
:
00:00:41
and I'm not gonna lie, I squealed
when this book was announced,
15
:
00:00:44
especially because I really
enjoy the woman in Cabin 10.
16
:
00:00:47
So if you've read that book, you know
that Lo has a talent for being in the
17
:
00:00:51
wrong place at the most dangerous time.
18
:
00:00:53
Now she's at a luxury hotel in
Switzerland for a press event, and
19
:
00:00:57
she's trying to jumpstart her career.
20
:
00:00:59
and then there's one late night
call from a billionaire host.
21
:
00:01:03
Of course, what could possibly go wrong?
22
:
00:01:05
As it turns out, everything goes wrong.
23
:
00:01:08
This is a full on race across Europe
with strangers secrets and someone
24
:
00:01:12
who may not be who they claim to be.
25
:
00:01:14
And yes, I am also counting down the
days until the Netflix adaptation of the
26
:
00:01:19
woman in Cabin 10 releases this fall.
27
:
00:01:21
If you didn't know about it, make
sure you mark your calendars for that.
28
:
00:01:24
And if you haven't read that book
yet, I will leave a link To my
29
:
00:01:27
review for the woman in Cabin 10,
in the description box down below.
30
:
00:01:30
now moving things in a
spicy romance direction.
31
:
00:01:33
The next one is overruled
by Lana Ferguson.
32
:
00:01:36
This is a recommendation from us here at
Under the Covers, and this book is just
33
:
00:01:39
Pure Enemies with Benefits, deliciousness.
34
:
00:01:42
It is a standalone as
well, so it's one and done.
35
:
00:01:45
now in this one we have
our heroine Danica.
36
:
00:01:47
She is a stone cold, career obsessed
divorce lawyer who's got her eye on making
37
:
00:01:52
partner Now, the only issue is that she's
sleeping with her biggest courtroom rival.
38
:
00:01:57
The hero Ezra is confident, charming,
and a golden retriever in a suit.
39
:
00:02:01
And he's definitely catching
way too many feelings.
40
:
00:02:04
Now they're battling it out on the
biggest case of their careers, while
41
:
00:02:07
also trying and failing to keep
things casual between each other.
42
:
00:02:10
If you love the game changer, then
this one will turn up the heat even
43
:
00:02:14
higher, and we even have a full
review and deep dive on the blog,
44
:
00:02:18
so you can check that out as well.
45
:
00:02:19
I will leave it linked as
well in the description box.
46
:
00:02:22
book.
47
:
00:02:22
Number three is Another Contemporary
Romance and Is Scotch on the
48
:
00:02:25
Rocks by Elliot Fletcher.
49
:
00:02:27
Now this is book two in the
Macabe Brothers, and don't worry
50
:
00:02:30
if you haven't read the series
because you can start right here.
51
:
00:02:33
I know I did and I was
absolutely not lost.
52
:
00:02:36
So it really works well as a standalone.
53
:
00:02:38
It's another recommendation from
us here at Under the Covers.
54
:
00:02:41
Now, if you love a messy small town
romance, this one definitely delivers.
55
:
00:02:45
We have our heroine June,
who has three rules when it
56
:
00:02:48
comes to the McCabe Brothers.
57
:
00:02:50
Don't look, don't talk, and
definitely don't fall for one.
58
:
00:02:53
Which would be easier of course, if one
of them wasn't her ex-fiance, one of
59
:
00:02:58
them wasn't in love with her bestie, And
another one is literally everywhere that
60
:
00:03:02
she turns looking like absolute sin.
61
:
00:03:05
Now this was again, like I
said, my first Elliot Fletcher.
62
:
00:03:08
I was immediately hooked.
63
:
00:03:09
There's banter, there's
the history between them.
64
:
00:03:12
Which as you can imagine from what I
just said, she is his brother's ex.
65
:
00:03:16
So lots of forbidden tension
and push and pull between them.
66
:
00:03:20
Also very satisfying, slow burn
and it toes the line a little bit
67
:
00:03:23
between Forbidden romance and like
they were fated to be together
68
:
00:03:28
Now for something more romantasy, my
pick is Soul Gazer by Maggie Rapier,
69
:
00:03:32
and hopefully I'm not butchering
the author's last name, but this
70
:
00:03:35
one, I cannot wait to dive in.
71
:
00:03:38
It sounds absolutely lush.
72
:
00:03:40
Now heroine Saoirse, I think is how
you say it, is cursed with explosive
73
:
00:03:45
magic that she cannot control.
74
:
00:03:47
Now her parents' solution is to marry
her off to the cruel stone king.
75
:
00:03:52
So she does what any of us would do
in that situation, and she runs away
76
:
00:03:56
and strikes the deal with a pirate.
77
:
00:03:58
Not just any pirate, though, the Wolf of
the Wild Faolan is silver tongue, morally
78
:
00:04:04
gray, and possibly the last person that
she should be trusting, now they team
79
:
00:04:08
up to find a lost mythical isle that
could save her or destroy everything.
80
:
00:04:13
Bonus of course, she demands that he
marry her first to keep things just safe.
81
:
00:04:18
So definitely this one sounds amazing.
82
:
00:04:21
If you love pirate romances, then
you'll want to add this one to your TBR.
83
:
00:04:25
It sounds like such a
unique romantasy as well.
84
:
00:04:27
So if you're tired of the same old, then
this is the book for you this month.
85
:
00:04:31
Now next is the historical
romance, and this one is, this
86
:
00:04:34
much is true by Vivienne Lorret.
87
:
00:04:36
I love Vivienne Lorret.
88
:
00:04:38
Anything she writes is going on my TBR
Now this one is a secret identity romance.
89
:
00:04:43
Thea is a playwright who spices up her
boring life by writing stories about
90
:
00:04:48
a fictional highwayman, except he's
actually real and he's not thrilled
91
:
00:04:52
that she's blowing up his cover.
92
:
00:04:54
so Jasper is this awkward viscount by day,
and he's a thief by night, and he needs
93
:
00:04:59
to shut all of this mess down immediately.
94
:
00:05:01
But sparks fly when they meet and soon
neither one of them is playing the
95
:
00:05:05
part that they thought they would.
96
:
00:05:07
This one is witty, romantic,
and full of secrets and tension.
97
:
00:05:10
And if you haven't read Vivienne Lorret,
you'll want to add her to your list.
98
:
00:05:14
The next one is The Paranormal
Romance, and it's by one of my
99
:
00:05:17
classic Must buy Authors, and it's
Atonement Sky by Nalini Singh.
100
:
00:05:21
This is part of the Psy
Changeling Trinity series.
101
:
00:05:24
Which you generally do need to read
in order for the most part but I
102
:
00:05:28
will still just say that if Nalini
Singh is releasing a book, it's
103
:
00:05:32
auto by auto read, no exceptions.
104
:
00:05:35
This one is emotional, it's sharp,
it's packed with everything that I
105
:
00:05:38
love about the psy-changeling world.
106
:
00:05:40
We have Eleri who is a j-psy.
107
:
00:05:42
On borrowed time.
108
:
00:05:43
And Adam, he is a Falcon changeling
who's never forgiven her for
109
:
00:05:47
what happened a decade ago.
110
:
00:05:49
Now there's a serial killer that's
threatening the pack, and these
111
:
00:05:52
two are forced to work together.
112
:
00:05:54
While their old wounds and new
sparks are starting to flare.
113
:
00:05:58
Now, technically you don't have to be
caught up on this whole series to dive
114
:
00:06:01
into it, but I think for longtime fans,
you're really gonna eat this one up
115
:
00:06:05
and you're gonna enjoy it more if you
know where the series is coming from.
116
:
00:06:08
Next is another romantasy and its
terror at the Gates by Scarlett St.
117
:
00:06:12
Clair.
118
:
00:06:13
This is perfect for the
dark romantasy fans.
119
:
00:06:16
It's dripping with forbidden magic and
all the slow burn tension, and it's about
120
:
00:06:21
Lilith who is out here just trying to
survive in a dystopian and ultra religious
121
:
00:06:26
society by stealing magical artifacts.
122
:
00:06:29
I personally love anything that
has to do with magical artifacts.
123
:
00:06:32
But somehow she's ended up in
possession of a cursed blade.
124
:
00:06:36
And even worse, she's in close
quarters with Zahariev, the powerful
125
:
00:06:40
ruler of her district and the one man
who might actually care about her.
126
:
00:06:45
Now, this is an enemies to lovers.
127
:
00:06:46
It's got plenty of angst, deadly
secrets, and a vibe that gives like
128
:
00:06:50
dark mafia fantasy with a biblical myth,
129
:
00:06:53
Which to me that sounds like a
recipe for just being absolutely
130
:
00:06:57
obsessed and rounding things out.
131
:
00:06:59
We have Wild Flowers by Kylie Scott.
132
:
00:07:02
Now this one is a
post-apocalyptic romance.
133
:
00:07:04
and it sounds like it might
just be a tear jerker as well.
134
:
00:07:08
So we have Dean, who is the quiet
broody neighbor who's been watching
135
:
00:07:11
Astrid from across the street for years.
136
:
00:07:14
and when the world starts collapsing
around them from a deadly virus, he
137
:
00:07:18
does what any normal person would do.
138
:
00:07:20
He kidnaps her and locks
her in his basement.
139
:
00:07:24
Totally fine.
140
:
00:07:25
Right?
141
:
00:07:25
But as the outside world is burning around
them, these two are forced to survive
142
:
00:07:30
together and they go from this very
weird situation to ride or die very fast.
143
:
00:07:35
I think it sounds equal.
144
:
00:07:36
Parts terrifying and tender,
and I cannot wait to read it.
145
:
00:07:39
Now let me know which one of these
you wanna grab first, or if you're
146
:
00:07:43
