NEW BOOK LIST JUST POSTED: My Standout Favorite Reads — I made a new list! There were no rules to how I made this list. I didn’t try to name a certain number of books. Sometimes I mentioned a specific book by title, sometimes I mentioned the author if I just generally love all their books, sometimes I’ve mentioned whole series if it’s more about the entire experience rather than an individual book… and this isn’t just a general favorites list either, rather this is a list of reads that particularly stood out to me over the years… click here to see the books!

RARE SALE + FAVORITE: Tragic by Devney Perry (My Review)
I adored this book and it’s on sale right now!! — “He wants nothing more than solitude. After an unthinkable tragedy destroys his family, he’s cut off all ties to his former life so he can battle his grief the only way he knows how. Alone. So when she knocks on his door, rambling on about being his new neighbor, he slams the door in her face. But his gruff demeanor doesn’t scare her. She’s set [on] starting over after a terrible divorce. And she wouldn’t mind having a fling to chase away the pain of her husband’s betrayal. Her handsome, albeit rude, neighbor is the perfect candidate. Yet what neither of them suspect is that their no-strings affair will result in the surprise of her lifetime—and his worst fear.” — Be sure to grab a copy while the sale lasts!

RARE SALE + FAVORITE: Archer’s Voice by Mia Sheridan (My Review)
This is one of my all-time favorites and it’s on sale!! — “The moment I meet him, my entire world tilts on its axis and never rights itself again. Until I trespass into his strange, silent, and isolated world, he communicates with no one. Yet in his whiskey-colored eyes, something intangible happens between us. There’s so much more to him than just his beauty, his presence, or the ways his hands communicate with me. On me. But this town is mired in secrets and betrayals, and he is the explosive center of it all. So much passion. And so much hurt. But it’s only in his silence that we might just find what we need to heal and live.” — Be sure to grab a copy while the sale lasts!

SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT: this is a series of interconnected standalones with each book written by a different favorite author of mine!

Lies and Lullabies (Hush Note Book 1) by Sarina Bowen : — “Once upon a time, he gave me a summer of friendship, followed by one perfect night. We shared a lot during our short time together. But he skipped a few crucial details. I didn’t know he was a rock star. I didn’t know his real name. Neither of us knew I’d get pregnant. And I sure never expected to see him again. Five years later, his tour bus pulls up in Nest Lake, Maine. My little world is about to be shattered by loud music and the pounding of my own foolish heart…”

Rifts and Refrains (Hush Note Book 2) by Devney Perry: — “Quinn is content to live in a world away from her family and the cage of her youth. Her only regret is leaving Graham Hayes behind without a goodbye. No matter how many sold-out stadiums she plays, no matter how many crowds sing her songs, his voice haunts her when the music stops. When a family tragedy forces her to return home to Montana, she plans to leave the second she’s paid her respects. But seeing Graham again turns her life upside down. As a boy, he wasn’t able to make her stay. As a man, he might be her future…”

Muses and Melodies (Hush Note Book 3) by Rebecca Yarro: — “If I can keep Hush Note’s leading guitarist, Nixon Winters, on the straight and narrow for the next six months, I’ll finally get my own band to manage—assuming we don’t kill each other first. The egotistical, irritating rock star is fresh out of rehab, but it’s obvious his demons followed him home—and now I’m sleeping down the hall. I’ve watched him self-destruct every summer, and with album deadlines and tour dates looming, I can’t let it happen again. My career is in his hands. But tattoos can’t cover every scar, and I’m starting to see through his trademark, irresistible charm to the damage beneath. Everyone wants the rock star. I’m falling for the man…”

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: Noble Prince by Devney Perry (Tin Gypsy Series #4)
OMG!! The fourth book in the Tin Gypsy series was announced! The first and second ones Gypsy King (my review) and Riven Knight (my review) are top favorites, the third Stone Princess is coming soon, and now Noble Prince has been announced! — The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof—all because he swore an oath to serve and protect… Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told. Worse, she doesn’t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her… If Luke is going to keep her safe, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive…or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who’s invaded his home and his heart.” — Be sure to read these books in order: #1 Gypsy King, #2 Riven Knight, #3 Stone Princess, #4 Noble Prince!

NEW 5 STAR FAVORITE: Runaway Road by Devney Perry (Read my Review)
HOLY FREAKING SQUEEEEE!!!! This was the most DELIGHTFUL and heart-warming romance!!! It was an absolutely PERFECT read with a gorgeous love story full of happy feels! I loved everything about this book – it had just enough angst to keep my heart racing, but was also genuinely so sweet!! This is a super addictive story – I didn’t put it down from the moment I started until the last word of the epilogue!! The heroine is strong, the hero is swoony, and it’s quite a unique, unexpected love story with mature characters that made for a really refreshing read. I LOVE LOVED LOVED this and would definitely recommend everyone to grab a copy – it’s now live and it’s a new 5 STAR FAVORITE!!!!!

SURPRISE RELEASE: Mathilda, Superwitch & Mathilda, Superwitch: Rise of the Dark Lord by Kristen Ashley
KA SURPRISE! The first book in this series was just re-released with a new cover along with the release of the sequel! — “On Hallowe’en night, Mathilda Honeycutt finds out she’s a SuperWitch. Not the modern, hippie kind…the real, wand-wielding, pixie-dust kind. After a life devoted to retail and coffee drinks, Mathilda is thrown into the secret world of witches, werewolves, vampires, faeries, you name it, it exists! As Mathilda discovers her magic, she also discovers she’s prophesied to save the world. The problem is, she’d rather spend her time on online auctions bidding on fabulous designer shoes. Now, she’s got to save the world, run her coffee house and figure out what’s going on with the silent, watchful (but yummy) Sebastian Wilding and brainy, charismatic (and hot) Dr. Aidan Seymour. Making matters worse, her nemesis is a powerful witch who doesn’t mind fighting dirty. Will Mathilda be able to save the world while still being perfectly accessorized? And how is she going to pick between Luscious Sebastian and Dreamy Aidan? Lastly, will she ever get the hang of riding around on a broom?”
