*** MY NEW FAVORITE SERIES ***
HOLY WOW!!! So, I’ve finally worked up the courage to read this series — THE ORIGINAL SINNERS by Tiffany Reisz — that I’ve literally had on my reading list since mid-2012. I was equally curious about and yet kinda scared of it… but I’m glad I read it because OMG… it was GOOD!!! The writing was absolutely AMAZING! The story though was verrryyy different than a lot of what I read. It’s an erotic BDSM world and while there was definitely very deep, all-consuming LOVE, it was NOT a traditional romance. It was taboo and shocking at times, raw but extremely honest, very intricate and complex… It took me WAY the hell out of my usual “reading comfort zone” but the characters, the WRITING, and the DEPTH of the story hooked me on the series! I binge-read the first 4 books back-to-back! Purchase links and reviews below 😀
*** MY RECENT FAVORITES ***
My newest TOP recommendations are Fisher’s Light by Tara Sivec because seriously EVERYONE needs to read this book!! Everyone. Also Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty which is actually fiction, not romance, but I read it to try something different than my usual and was blown away by the writing and story!!!! And Here With Me and Choose Me by Heidi McLaughlin — an awesome UNIQUE 2-book second chance military romance story with a very unique set-up! Oh and I’ve also recently loved Pocketful of Sand by M. Leighton and Where One Goes by BN Toler. And finally, my list of Best Books of 2015 has been updated!

The Shameless Hour by Sarina Bowen — New Release!!
Hockey player alert!! This standalone is about what happens when the girl who’s had everyone meets the boy who has no one. — She’s the care-free student manager of the men’s hockey team and sex is a second language to her. So she can’t understand why her smoking hot neighbor has so much trouble staying friends after their spontaneous night together. What she doesn’t know is he’s a strict Catholic who is appalled with himself for losing his virginity in a drunken hookup… Too bad, the undeniable spark between the two of them just can’t be extinguished.
For The Love Of Raindrops by Beth Michele — New Release!!
I missed this “childhood friends to lovers” standalone last week but it sounds really good so I’m including it here! — “I fell in love with her when I was just a boy. And then I never fell out of love. I just fell deeper. But she has everything. And I have nothing to offer her. Except my heart. Sometimes the guy gets the girl, and they live happily ever after. I wanted to be that guy… I can’t imagine ever loving anyone else. Right after I work up the courage to tell her, my world gets torn apart. I wish I had told her sooner. But most of all… I wish it would rain again.”
Sunshine & Whiskey (Drinking Book 1) by R.L. Griffin — New Release!!
Sometimes the best things in life come from the unexpected. So if you lower your expectations, then you’ll never be disappointed. Sound cheesy? It is, but it’s also true. Clichés come from a grain of truth…like a man with a Porsche is compensating for something, or once a cheater always a cheater—you get the idea. Sorry, I digress. I’m supposed to be telling you what this book is about.
I’m Megan Walker, a lawyer at one of the hottest boutique law firms in Atlanta. I’m on the fast track to making partner and have my entire life planned out…or I did. We all know how that goes, right? Best laid plans and all that. Life just threw me a couple curveballs, so I’ve set out to take things into my own hands. By throwing caution to the wind and getting out of my A-type personality bubble, I’m learning more about myself than I have in my twenty-seven years. Sound like a chick flick, doesn’t it? It’s not.
The Headmaster by Tiffany Reisz — New Release!!
This is a standalone and it sounds so different!! — The heroine is given a position as a teacher at a gothic boarding school. She’s charmed by the lovely buildings, bewitched by the eager students…and utterly seduced by the headmaster. He’s noble, handsome and infuriatingly proper… concealing a raw sensual power that she longs to unleash… It’s thrilling to be the only woman on campus – save one other. An eerie white-clad figure roams the grounds by night. She never speaks. She leaves no trace. And she’s the key to the Academy’s mysterious allure…
The Light at the End of the Road by Ginny Baird — New Release!!
Oh, this is described as a “spine-tingling mystery-romance”.
Icy rain has caused highway closings along Sam’s precipitous mountain route, and she’s forced to take treacherous back roads. When her car hits black ice and skids into a ditch, Sam fears for her survival. Then a stranger appears on the scene to offer her a hand. Only, after a while, Sam starts to fear this handsome mystery man is leading her in the wrong direction…
Ropes and Revenge by Jessie Evans — New Release!!

The Nines by Dakota Madison — New Release!!
Ok, I’m intrigued by this!! It’s a romantic suspense about a secret fraternity at a prestigious university who believe they can get away with murder, but one group of antiheroes are out to stop them. — “Vengeance is mine. It’s what I breathe for. It’s what I’m still living for. It’s been two years. Two long and difficult years, but my plan is nearly complete. I’m meticulous, so I’ll never get caught. Just one thing stands in my way: The mysterious young woman without a past who desperately wants to be part of my future. I just need to figure out why…”

This is the third part of a series and the blurb made my heart squeeze!!! — “I didn’t know you were killing yourself with work. I didn’t know you’re raising our daughter. So help me God, had I known, there is no military force on earth that would’ve kept me from you… I love you.”
Reading order: Book #1, Book #2, Book #3.
The Story of Son by JR Ward — New Release!!
