When you read a romance novel you're reading about characters falling in love. You're also (hopefully) falling in love yourself, with the story and the people in it. Alternating Point-of-View romance lets you get to know each character that much better as the author switches points of view, showing you the story through each character's eyes.

The love story of two characters struggling to belong but who fit in perfectly with each other, this book will warm your heart. Dealing with serious issues like bullying and domestic abuse, it might just break it, too.

A medical emergency and subsequent adorable text messaging unites the two main characters of this college-aged romance. The central love story doesn't eclipse blossoming college friendships and mother/daughter dynamics.
POVs: Devorah and Jax
Two teens meet while trapped in an elevator and instantly connect - but this isn't going to be a simple romance.

And unlike Shakespeare, their story just might have a happy ending.
POVs: Arthur and Ben
It's fate that brings Arthur and Ben together in this own-voices story featuring a romantic summer in New York. Or is it fate that's tearing them apart? While these two high school boys struggle to determine if they've experienced a meet-cute or a missed opportunity, you will fall in love with both their narrative voices.
And for when there are more than two sides to the story...
POVs: Romona, Sam, and Tom
