While Meghan and I love the hunt of finding a fabulous romance book to read for our next podcast episode, we also appreciate the convenience that romance novel subscription box services offer. So we’ve put together a selection of romance book boxes for those of you who like that convenience too.

This monthly subscription box delivers one signed romance book each month. You’ll receive surprise books from New York Times and USA Today Bestselling authors and be introduced to amazing new writers. Highlights of this subscription include books signed by the author and new authors to fall in love with. And at $13.95 per month, this subscription is very reasonably priced. You can sign up for the box here.
2. Romance ChickLit from Chocolate and book
The term ChickLit makes us a giggle but we’re all for this subscription box from Chocolate and book.

A romance novel, chocolate AND a beverage? No need to twist our arms. For this monthly subscription, you can choose from paperback or hardcover books. The monthly subscription price ranges from $19.47 for paperback and $29.22 for hardcover. Click here to subscribe.
3. Second Time Around Books from Sip N Stitch Boxes
As many of our podcast listeners know, we love a secondhand romance book. (Meghan is the Queen of thrifting!) With Second Time Around Books from Sip N Stitch Boxes, you’ll get not one but three secondhand romance novels as well as a bookmark, stickers and treats delivered to your door. This book subscription offers a variety of options including 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 1-year. The cost depends on your subscription length but ranges from $16.25 to $22 per month.
4. “Surprise Me!” Dark Romance Variety Box by Dark Romance Crates
Is romantasy or dark romance your thing? (Remember, we don’t kink shame here at Romance on the Rocks.) The Dark Romance Variety Box plus Bookish Merch is expertly curated and custom made by Gothika Books. The crate includes: new dark romance books from their wide variety of continuously revolving stock, and a themed mix of accessories that match your book(s) like bookmarks, book sleeves / totes, stickers, art, candles, bath goodies, themed apparel, optional erotic toys and romantic edibles. They offer all sorts of genres and tropes to choose from so you can customize your box. This is one of the pricier options at $45 per month but we appreciate their focus on a genre we know some of our listeners enjoy.
5. Romance Book and Chill
Get swept away into your very own happily ever after with Romance Book and Chill Box! This box has everything you need so you can, read, relax and swoon with extras! For $44.99 a month (plus shipping), you’ll receive a swoon-worthy romance novel (signed by the author!) that you won’t be able to put down plus yummy treats, full size self-care and bookish goodies delivered straight to your door. Discover new authors, meet your new book boyfriend and get lost in the pages of hand-picked romance novel.
6. Blind Date with a Book by The Ripped Bodice
First of all, we LOVE The Ripped Bodice Bookstore. Run by two sisters who are bookish biddies just like us, they have a wide array of romance novel offerings and are wonderfully inclusive & diverse. They have two brick & mortar stores in the United States but also sell books online and one of the services they offer is their bestselling Blind Date with a Book. Each carefully wrapped book is chosen by their expert staff and comes with a few intriguing clues but the title remains a mystery until you unwrap it. Perfect for adventurous readers or as a unique gift, this is your chance to discover a story you might not have picked up on your own — because sometimes, the best books are the ones you never see coming. While not a true subscription service, it is a great option if you just need a one and done romance novel fix. Pricing start between $8.99 and $17.99.
7. Month to Month from Sizzling Reads
Sizzling Reads curates a monthly subscription box delivered directly to your doorstep. Each box is a carefully crafted collection of not just one but two hand-picked romance novels – one that’s deliciously spicy and another with just the right amount of sizzle. As bookish biddies who rate our romantic reads with a Spicy Scoville Scale, we love this spicy subscription option. Think of it as your monthly delivery of heartthrobs and hotness. Highlights include a postcard guide for the books & and their authors, two romance novels from mainstream and/or indie authors, a sticker for book lovers in each box and other fun bookish items. (This box is a little steeper at $47 per month.)
There are certainly many more romance book subscription services out there. Do you have a favorite? We’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment in the comment section or contact us via our contact page.
