Romance stories with spring vibes

I don't know about you, but as soon as Christmas is out of the way, my thoughts turn to spring, especially during the seemingly endless dark, dank days of January.

I find myself looking for signs that spring is on its way - whether it be the almost imperceptible lengthening of the days, or the tiny new shoots poking through the soil. When I see the first catkins on the trees I get quite giddy - and don't get me started on the cute little lambs!

Spring is all about fresh starts and new beginnings, and I love reading uplifting romances with those very vibes.

I thought you might too, so I've found a few cute and cosy romances to lift your spirits.
