With Valentine’s Day approaching, the pressure to be romantic is intense — and no one feels that pressure like the characters in romance novels. They have to meet someone, fall in love, overcome the obstacles and anxieties holding them back from true happiness, then come up with a grand gesture and declaration of love — all in just a few hundred pages. Fortunately for us, they always succeed. Here are three short and sweet romances that are sexy, funny, a little bit quirky and absolutely end happily. If a second chance at love is your trope of choice, don’t miss House Rules by Ruby Lang. Once upon a time, Simon and Lana got divorced; seventeen years ago the young couple split up and went their separate ways. Or rather, Lana went off and Simon stayed in exactly the same place. Now Lana is back in New York City and looking for an apartment — and so is Simon. He’s finally ready to make some changes in his life, starting with a new place to live. Long story short, they end up as roommates
