Romance Novels in the 2021 Tagset

I've taken the liberty of compiling a list of all romance novels in the tagset. To my count, there are 65 this year!

I've listed them by author (alphabetically, and then again alphabetically by title), as well as the link to the novel (or series) on goodreads, and, if possible, a link to read for free online (I looked at Project Gutenberg and also archive.org, which is a virtual library), and the bookshop.org link to purchase. Some may not have any links, but if you know of any for those missing, please let me know!

By no means am I infallible, so I may well have missed some (or included some that are not, in fact, romance novels), so please let me know if you see any errors or omissions! I intentionally did not include YA or works that are purely erotica without any romance aspect.

The Romance Writers of America genre definition is:
Entries must be a work of original Romance Fiction. In order to be defined as a romance, all entries must have the following:
A Central Love Story: The main plot centers around individuals falling in love and struggling to make the relationship work. A writer can include as many subplots as he/she wants as long as the love story is the main focus of the novel.
An Emotionally Satisfying and Optimistic Ending: In a romance, the lovers who risk and struggle for each other and their relationship are rewarded with emotional justice and unconditional love.

I've included Jane Austen's works separately at the end :)

Again, please let me know if you see any errors, and I'll be sure to correct them!

ETA: unfortunately I’ve been having computer issues (dead battery; replacement has to be specially ordered), and the table is basically uneditable on mobile, so I can’t add anything to the table itself until further notice!!
That said, please read through the comments for more romance novels (and/or novels with romance elements)!
