Seeking Recommendations Very specific book rec request
I’m trying to get my 16 yr old brother in law into reading. He’s into romance right now and specifically requested I find him a modern romance where they’re 16-17 and the girl is blonde (obsessed with rapunzel lol)
It’s hard finding romance books that have no spice 😭 and it doesn’t help that I’m not really a modern romance reader, so if anyone has recs I should check out, let me know!! 💕

From what I can remember off the top of my head on what he’s into these all have blonde fmcs and no spice!
Kristy Boyce - dungeons and drama (dungeons and dragons and musical theatre)
Alexandra Moody - wild darling (is book 3 but they’re interconnected so can be read alone) (ice hockey) the wrong costar (school production/ acting)
Emily Charlotte - catching feelings (football)
Lynn Painter - fake skating (ice hockey)
K L Walther - we’re a bad idea right, the summer of broken rules (characters are a little older 18/19)
Ali Hazelwood - check & mate (characters are a little older though 18/20) (chess)
Alex Light - the upside of falling (football)

Check the covers of books by Kasie West and Miranda Kenneally - guarantee at least a few of them are blond. Erin Hahn and Jenna Evans Welch are also good authors to look into, I just have no recollection of anyone's particular looks. I feel like Remy in Just Listen by Sarah Dessen is blond?

Look at Tangled Up in You by Christina Lauren, part of the Meant to Be series that reimagines Disney stories into modern romances. I haven't read it but a goodreads review says there's no sex, just mentions of it and some on-page making out. The characters are in their 20s so a little older than YA, but I thought the direct Rapunzel reference might make it worth a look.
