Welcome to Mom Needs a Chapter – Your Go-To Romance Book Blog

To the readers who grow wings in the dark,

Hi, I'm Frances—a busy mom of two amazing daughters, a proud Saint Bernard dog mom, and a lifelong romance reader who believes that every mom deserves a little escape and a great love story.

Mom Needs a Chapter was born out of the chaos of motherhood and the quiet magic of turning pages after bedtime. As a romance book blogger, I created this space to share my favorite reads, honest romance book reviews, and curated recommendations especially for moms who are short on time but never short on heart.

Whether you love enemies-to-lovers tropes, small town second chances, spicy fantasy romance, or feel-good contemporary love stories, this romance book blog is here to help you find your next great read. I highlight the books that made me laugh, cry, swoon—or stay up way too late reading "just one more chapter."

But here's the deal: I’ll always keep it real. If I didn’t connect with a book, I’ll tell you why—with kindness and honesty. This blog isn’t about hyping every book, it’s about helping you find the stories that truly resonate.

This blog is for:

• The reader hiding in the laundry room with her Kindle (no judgment).

• The person rediscovering their passions one page at a time.

• The reader who needs a reminder that their story still matters—and it’s not too late to write the next chapter.

You'll find:

• Thoughtful, honest romance book reviews.

• Themed reading lists and binge-worthy series.

• Spice ratings, tropes, and quick recs tailored for real life.

• Special features for book clubs, and fellow romance lovers.

Thank you for stopping by and being part of this growing community. I hope you’ll stay a while, explore some of my favorite books, and find something that speaks to your heart. After all, every chapter counts—and the best ones might still be waiting in that TBR stack on your nightstand.

With love,

Frances
