FLORIDA BOOK LIST
Florida brings the vibes when it comes to love stories. This Florida Book List is full of sunshine-soaked reads perfect for checking off the Sunshine State on your U.S. State Reading Challenge. Whether it’s a small-town romance set on the Gulf Coast, a glamorous Miami fling, or a slow-burn love story brewing in a sweltering Florida Keys summer, there’s a story here ready to sweep you away.
These books are packed with fun, heart, and a little chaos (it is Florida, after all). You’ll find enemies-to-lovers at a beach resort, childhood sweethearts reconnecting over tropical drinks, and vacation flings that turn into something real. From steamy scenes under palm trees to heartfelt moments during hurricane prep, Florida romances keep things spicy and emotionally satisfying.
And let’s not forget the setting—Florida makes a great backdrop. Think sandy beaches, pastel bungalows, dreamy boat rides, and small towns where gossip travels faster than an afternoon storm. These stories come alive with local flavor, bold personalities, and plenty of heart.
So whether you’re into rom-coms with sunshine and sass, emotional journeys with second chances, or flirty vacation reads with more than a little spice, Florida has something for you. Pick your perfect beach read and let this list help you cross the state off your literary map.
