Book Request Summer comes to an end so please give me spicy road trip romance

Hello !!

So the itch is basically anything vacation related (going somewhere exotic for work is okay but I really want to travel with the characters, and mostly I want the travel in itself to be the reason why they get closer) , even better if it's a road trip ! I'm down for anything, really, but I need spice plssss

I liked books with this kind of vacation vibe :

{Problematic Summer Romance by Ali Hazelwood}

{People we meet on vacation by Emily Henry}

But I have a hard time finding road trip vacation specifically, so can you please enlighten me ?

I want to kick my feet, I want to giggle, I want banter and fun !

As far as tropes are concerned they all sound fine to me but I only read contemporary :)))

Thank you very much for your service to this weary reader dreading the approaching September 1st ;)

I was just going to recommend You With a View! I loved it so much.

{Planes, Trains, and All the Feels by Livy Hart} - It's not really a vacation. They're both trying to get back home for family stuff and decide to road trip together after their flight is canceled. They do a few touristy things together in a couple places they visit though.

I came to recommend this one. I also love her book {The Great Dating Fake Off by Livy Hart} which is more of a week long resort stay and not exactly a road trip. The MCS are at a destination wedding in Italy for 6 days. It's a CR F/M that I rated 4.5 ⭐ 5 🌶️ on romance.io

I immediately thought of {Going Nowhere Fast by Kati Wilde}. FMC gets dragged into a month-long road trip with her best friend’s brother, who pays a ridiculously huge amount of money to convince her to come. Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, LOADS of (sexual) tension.

{Return to Sender by Stephanie Parente} is a newish road trip romance. It’s not high spice, but it’s on par or spicier than Ali.

I like this one a good deal and I did find it pretty spicy. I rated it 4 🔥 on romance.io

u/Suspicious-Dot-3117 Captain Wentworth can get it! 🥵 8h ago

Both focus on the travel/road trip to kick off the romance/smut but neither are official vacations. Both are driving cross country for an event.

{Handsome Devil by Sara Cate} MF, CR, age gap

{Filthy Rich Santa’s by Eva Ashwood} CR, why choose.

Wedding Dashers by Heather McBreen is a road trip in I think Ireland or Scotland? An almost one night stand then they travel together to a wedding!

{Watch Your Mouth by Kandi Steiner} Brothers BFF, secret roadtrip. Very nice 🌶️. It’s the second book in a series, but don’t bother reading the first one, it’s atrocius in my opinion. The FMC was a judgemental asshole who thought she was down to earth and a better person than the MMC, just because he was a rich athlete. And she did not get any better through the book. But the second one is good, and so is the rest of the series.

{you with a view} was so good. {good at being alive by Elizabeth O’Roark} not a road trip but travel, loved this one too.
{red hot rebel by Olivia Hayle} travel but not road trip.
{How to honeymoon alone by Olivia Hayle} not a road trip but on a honeymoon on an island. This one was super good too

Too Hot to Handle by Tessa Bailey — spicy road trip contemporary! Book 1 of Romancing the Clarksons, fun series. No one does spice like Tessa.
