Can reading romance get you buzzed? Whether you’re high on life or toking, these 5 romances have a strong theme of cannabis.

High on Love by Alicia Wilder (novella)

This novella packs a punch with scenes at a toke party and a 4/20 festival. It’s a spicy, small town, age gap love story that takes place in a “Lavender Haze.” (Yes, there are Taylor Swift references!)

Will They or Won’t They by Ava Wilder

Celebrity romance. Second chance. Hate sex. This book has it all, plus the characters feel like real people with issues and insecurities and relatable fears. I really CARED about these two. I wanted them to be OK as well as be with each other. The book is steamy and emotional and has that hint of paparazzi scandal that I crave lately in fictional romance. The plot is a steamroller – so many fun things keep happening that it’s hard to put down. 

Flown In For Christmas by A. Boss (novella)

This Christmas novella has everything you need in a short holiday read: spice, humor, a ridiculous setup, and a certain scene involving cannabis and a Christmas tree that lives rent free in my head.

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

Cannabis is pain relief in this emotional novel. The structure of this story is fascinating and so are the characters.

Happy Place by Emily Henry

Emily Henry loves a scene with a joint and often includes social cannabis use in her novels. This is one of my favorites because it’s just another way the characters interact with each other.

Honorable Mention:
Breadcrumbs by Alicia Wilder (novella)
My Secret Vice by Alicia Wilder

Cannabis plays a crucial role in each of these love stories: In Breadcrumbs, it gives Max the courage to say what she wants, and in My Secret Vice, legalization legislation brings the main characters together.
