If you’re a romance reader, especially a contemporary romance reader, then a Kindle Unlimited subscription is essential. There are so many fantastic authors out there whose work is only available on Amazon, and Kindle Unlimited is an economical option for checking out their work. If you’re a voracious reader, then it will also save you a ton of money in the long run! Subscribers can borrow up to 20 books at a time, and there’s no limit on how many books you can borrow in a month. I read 20-30 books per month, so if I had to pay for each and every book, then the cost would add up quickly. Sure, utilizing your local library system will help, but then you’ll miss out on some of the best contemporary romance authors out there today.
This list is all about Kindle Unlimited! I’ve got recommendations for some of my favorite authors whose work is included in the program, as well as details about audio editions and more. If you’re new to Kindle Unlimited, then this is a great place to start. If you’re already a member, then it’s just a good resource for book recommendations!
➡️ Please note: These were all in Kindle Unlimited at the time of posting, but no guarantees they’re still there when you’re viewing this. A LOT of my favorites have been scooped up by traditional publishers in the last year, and the trend continues.

In this section, we’ll talk about some of my favorite romance authors who have plenty of great books in Kindle Unlimited! Below each photo is a text link to Amazon, so just give it a click if something looks good. I’ve listed the books I’ve personally enjoyed from each author, though most have many more in Kindle Unlimited.
Meghan Quinn
If you love rom coms with steam and a touch of heartache, then I would definitely recommend Meghan Quinn! She has an entire collection of romance books in Kindle Unlimited, including several ongoing series. Sports romance fans will love the Brentwood Boys – especially the later books in the series. Small town romance lovers will like the Port Snow series, and she’s got so many other good books in the program as well. If you’re looking for a standalone to try out Quinn’s work, then check out A Not So Meet Cute for a scorching hot yet playful read.
J.T. Geissinger
Want something a little edgier, a little sexier? Then try J.T. Geissinger! She’s known for her steamy, semi-dark romances, and her mafia series are some of the best I’ve read. Geissinger has several series in Kindle Unlimited, and she’s the only author whose books have made my Best of the Year list three years in a row. Her last series, Queens & Monsters, is mega steamy and suspenseful – definitely worth a read. You can also dive into the Beautifully Cruel world for more mafia romance, the Dangerous Beauty trilogy for darker romantic suspense, or her Slow Burn series for standalone romances.
Elsie Silver
Silver is wildly popular at this point, but her books are still in KU, which is great. I loved her Chestnut Springs series, and I’m going back to some of her older work as the audiobooks release. Her small town romances has lots of spice and sexual tension, playing up the tropes in engaging ways. My personal favorites are Heartless and Flawless.
S.J. Tilly
I’ve just started digging into Tilly’s back catalog, but I’m loving the vibes so far! Her most recent series is a little darker and definitely a little unhinged, but it’s ridiculously entertaining. She mixes spice, humor, and smitten, possessive heroes/antiheroes for multi-faceted reads.
Pippa Grant
If you love quirky, offbeat humor, then Pippa Grant is your girl. She’s got so many romantic comedies in Kindle Unlimited, and each has a completely unique feel. Grant has several ongoing series and follows her muse wherever it takes her, so her books can really be read in any order – you’ll just grow to love her characters more with each book! Some of my personal favorites are Real Fake Love, Jock Blocked, and Flirting with the Frenemy, but all of her rom coms are a lot of fun.
Kayley Loring
Fans of low angst, sexy reads will love Kayley Loring’s work. Her books are lighthearted and playful, with a mix of humor and sexual tension. Loring has several series as well as many standalone reads. My favorite series kicks off with the fantastic Sleeper, or you can check out A Very Bossy Christmas if you want something seasonal and excellent. A recent series, The Brodie Brothers, is also filled with humor. For those looking for more of a forbidden, tension-filled read, check out The Love Interest.
Lauren Asher
Booktok favorite Lauren Asher has some great books in Kindle Unlimited! I loved the Dreamland Billionaires series (especially Terms and Conditions), but I’ve enjoyed getting to know her writing with the other series as well. Her books tend to be pretty beefy, and they often have lots of emotion and tension.
Melanie Harlow
Harlow is known for her high heat, small town romance series. Though her books aren’t overly angsty, they’ve definitely got a deeper feel to them, and each book features plenty of steam. My favorite series from Harlow is the Bellamy Creek series, which includes four interconnected standalones that all have great heroes and different vibes – it starts with Drive Me Wild.
Max Monroe
For humor and heat, check out writing duo Max Monroe. Their books are always low angst and sexy, with tons of comedy and a lighthearted feel. Personal favorites of mine include The Pact, Single Dad Seeks Juliet, The Jerk Duet, and Taming Hollywood’s Baddest Boy.
Lucy Score
If you like a thick book with high heat and a unique feel, then check out Lucy Score. She is known for her long, steamy reads, and she writes in a variety of moods and vibes. Score has a great collection of books in Kindle Unlimited, including two series that I haven’t tried yet – I’m still digging through her back catalog. I’ve particularly enjoyed many of her standalones, as well as her breakout Knockemout series.
Karla Sorensen
I absolutely loved her Ward Sisters series – her books have a young, fresh feel, and often include sports stars and sexual tension. They’re lighter books with moments of humor but also plenty of emotion, and the cast of characters makes them ideal to read in order. My personal favorites are Faked and Forbidden.
Other Great Romances in Kindle Unlimited!
Below are romances that I sincerely enjoyed. Either the author doesn’t have enough in KU to do a whole section on them, or I only have limited experience with their books. If a book catches your interest, then just give the text link a click to see it on Amazon.
