If You’re Looking for Clean Fiction Reads, Start Here

Over the past few years, I’ve been on a journey to find clean fiction reads. I love to read– I even ran a book club for years. However as a Christian woman, I started feeling conviction while reading “open door” scenes or a ton of explicit language. (I know everyone’s convictions can be different! This is just my personal experience)

I started thinking to myself- now that my 7-year-old daughter is reading, would I feel comfortable with her picking up some of the books I am reading? What kind of things am I exposing my brain to? If I am trying not to curse and want to protect my relationships and marriage, I want to make sure I’m reading and listening to wholesome content!

So without further ado, here are 10 really sweet romance books I have rated 5 stars personally- that you can feel good about reading! The title link will take you to Amazon. Some of these clean fiction reads are even included on Kindle Unlimited! (Reading on Kindle is my favorite!) All of these authors have many other books that are also clean, wholesome romance.
