Ashley Poston has quickly become one of my favorite authors. Her magical romances are a genre of romance that I cannot get enough of. I wanted to give you a list of the adult Ashley Poston books ranked from loved to obsessed. If you have read and loved Ashley Poston’s books as I do, this is the list for you!
I have read every one of Ashley Poston’s magical romance books, and I have loved each and every one. I did not know that Ashley Poston has a catalogue of 9 young adult books! Poston’s adult romance books are a delight to read, and I love every one more than the last.
Poston’s adult romances are the perfect blend of romance with a touch of magic (think stuck in a fictional town, seeing a ghost, or a time loop). These magical elements add a touch of whimsy to the stories and I absolutely love every one of her books. I had a very hard time choosing which was my favorite.

Plot
Joni Lark is a hit songwriter in LA who has had writer’s block for the last 10 months, since her mom’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis. She is returning home, to North Carolina, for the summer and hopes to find inspiration.
When she arrives, she realizes that if she wants to cure her writer’s block, she might have to confront the things she has been avoiding while living in LA. To make matters more complicated, she has an earworm of a half-formed song in her head and the voice of a stranger in there as well. Joni is shocked to learn the voice belongs to a real person–someone named Sasha. They agree to finish the song that is haunting both their thoughts, but in doing so, they realize there might be more than just the song bringing them together.

Why Jackie loves it
Ashley Poston has become a must-read author for me. Her stories are so unique and I love that there is a touch of magic in each one. I loved the connection between Joni and Sasha. It felt like these two complemented each other so well and communicated- (telepathy makes that a must). Poston’s romances lie somewhere between sweet and steamy.
