Fuel The Fire (Addicted series #8) by Krista & Becca Ritchie
SQUEE!! This is the newest book in the amazing Addicted series — literally my #1 TOP FAVORITE on-going series!! This book reads as book 8 chronologically. The series reading order is confusing ‘cuz there are 2 series that go TOGETHER (following the same 3 couples) so I strongly recommend reading these books in the full order. These are NOT standalones and all the books are all full-length novels. Here’s the full order: Addicted To You, Ricochet, Addicted For Now, Kiss The Sky, Hothouse Flower, Thrive, Addicted After All, Fuel The Fire.
For The Love Of Raindrops by Beth Michele — New Release!!
This is a new “childhood friends to lovers” standalone! — “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. My dream becomes my worst nightmare. I wish I had told her sooner. But most of all… I wish it would rain again.”
Come To Me Recklessly by AL Jackson — New Release!!
YAY!! This is second chance romance from an author I love!! It’s the third Closer To You book but it’s a separate couple than the first 2 books (Come To Me Quietly and Come To Me Softly) so it can technically be read alone. — There is one boy the heroine never forgot – her first love – and she keeps his memory locked up tight. She’ll never allow any man to break her the way he did. And he gave up on the idea of love years ago… But when he moves to a new neighborhood, he’s surprised to find her living on street…. And now he’ll have to fight for what has always been his.
When I’m Gone by Abbi Glines — New Release!!
This is the latest book in the wildly popular Rosemary Beach series. While it can be read alone, all the characters are strongly interconnected and it’s recommended to read them in order. This is Mase Manning’s book!

The Virgin Romance Novelist by Meghan Quinn — New Release!!
LOL!! This romantic comedy (standalone) sounds HILARIOUS!! The blurb says if you like peeing in your pants and crying from laughing so hard, then try this!!
Can you say briar patch in a romance novel? What about meat sword? Do bosoms really heave? God, I have no idea… I’m a virgin trying to write a romance novel and can’t seem to write past a sex scene thanks to my lack of experience… But losing my virginity is proving to be tougher than expected…
Contrite by Kathy Coopmans — New Release!!

*** WHAT I’M CURRENTLY READING ***
The Siren by Tiffany Reisz (Read my Review)
WOW!!! So, I’ve finally worked up the courage to read this book a few days ago. I’d literally had it since mid-2012. I was equally curious about and yet kinda scared to read it… but I’m glad I read it because OMG… it was GOOD!!! The writing was just AMAZING! The story though was very, verrryyy different than a lot of what I read. It’s an erotic BDSM world and while there was definitely love, it was NOT at all 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 on this series and I read the second book after (my review) ‘cuz I NEEDED MORE!!! 😀
The Angel (The Original Sinners #2) by Tiffany Reisz — review coming
OMG. OMG!!!!! I just finished this and holyyy hell, it was fucking BRILLIANT!!!! Gah. Wow. Ok, I did love the first book but NOW I seriously GET why so many of you absolutely L.O.V.E. this series. I get it. The feels. THE FEELS!!! Holy intensity!! I have tears in my eyes, my heart is racing and full to bursting. Ahhhh!! Yes, a few scenes definitely had me going WhatTheFuckDidIJustRead?! but that’s part of the thrill. This may not be a romance, but my gosh is there ever LOVE on such a STRONG level. And LAYERS. Layers upon layers to this story. I’m in pure awe.
FULL SERIES READING ORDER:
