* MY TOP RECOMMENDATION *

➜ Virtuous (Quantum Trilogy #1) by MS Force (Read my Review)
➜ Valorous (Quantum Trilogy #2) by MS Force (Read my Review)
➜ Victorious (Quantum Trilogy #3) by MS Force (Read my Review)

SQUEEEEE!!! OMG!!! I read all 3 books in this new trilogy back-to-back and LOOOVED every word!!! My heart was RACING since the first chapter — the CHEMISTRY was off-the-charts!!! — and I literally could not put it down!! — The hero is a SWOONY world famous movie star who is also a sexual Dominant… and he falls in love with a young teacher he runs into at a park who has sworn off sex. They’re total opposites but they’re trying to make a relationship work. The dialogue is GOLD and I loved EVERYTHING about the entire series!!! Pure BOOK HEAVEN!!! 😀

I’d recommend these for fans of Fifty Shades, Love Unscripted, & Crossfire. It had amazing writing, a captivating and gripping story, characters I fell in love with, and a romance that made my heart melt. I could NOT put it down. To be blunt, there was no stupidity ever and all the drama was from sources external to the relationship (which I LOVED)!!! It was just about two people from different worlds falling in LOVE and trying to make an unlikely relationship work. I loved all 3 books and highly recommend them. If you’re looking for SEXY, SWOONY, and utterly ADDICTIVE story, try this 5 STAR SERIES!!

The full series is now available for purchase: #1 Virtuous, #2 Valorous, #3 Victorious

* THIS WEEK’S NEW RELEASES *

Under The Influence by LB Simmons — $0.99 New Release!!

Woohoo!!! I LOVE this author’s books and can’t wait to read this one!! It’s a standalone romance and it sounds amazing!! ($0.99 for a limited time)

It’s “the journey of two childhood friends that spans the course of five pivotal years in their lives. It is a story about their discovery of true friendship as it blossoms into first love, their experience of crucial sacrifice and ultimate betrayal, and their endurance of heartbreak on the way to finding lasting redemption…”

All Played Out by Cora Carmack — New Release!!

This is the latest Rusk University series standalone! Each book is a different couple!
#1 All Lined Up, #2 All Broke Down, #3 All Played Out.

In this book, “a good girl is about to find out what happens when she creates the ultimate college bucket list and she sets her sights on a jock.” He’s a university football player. When he’s not on the field, he excels at partying and girls. But something about this quiet, shy, sexy-as-hell girl gets under his skin…

Fair Game by Monica Murphy — New Release!!

Well this sounds intriguing!! — “When your boyfriend bets YOU in a poker game, you better know when to run… Now the heroine supposedly belongs to an ultra rich, extremely gorgeous guy. He could have anything he wants yet he seems to be in hot pursuit of her. More like her horrible behavior seems to make him want her more. When she finds herself starting to fall for him, she’s confused. There’s more to him than the carefree rich charmer he portrays. No way could he want a serious relationship with her… or could he?”

Luckiest Girl Alive by Jessica Knoll — New Release!!

This actually has a huge movie deal with Lionsgate and Reese Witherspoon. She says that it’s “the kind of book that grabs you and doesn’t let go”. I want to read it!

HER PERFECT LIFE IS A PERFECT LIE. She’s a 28-year-old New Yorker who has a glamorous job, an expensive wardrobe, and handsome fiancé. She’s this close to living the perfect life she’s worked so hard to achieve. But she has a secret. Something dark from her past that threatens to destroy everything…

Just Say When by Kaylee Ryan — New Release!!

This sounds good!! — “Burying myself in work for the past two years, avoiding any thought of her, has worked, until now. She’s everywhere, in my dreams, in my gym, and in my heart. I’m not sure when I fell in love with her, but I am completely in love with my best friend’s baby sister… How am I supposed to resist her when I can’t escape her? If he ever found out, it would ruin our friendship. Even with that knowledge all she’d have to do is say when…”

Capture: Elements of Attraction 3 by Penny Reid — New Release!!

This is the final book in a trilogy so the series is now complete. YAY!!! It’s a fun, sexy, quirky romance that sounds good!! #1 Attraction, #2 Heat, #3 Capture.

One week. Private beach. Invisible girl. Jerk-faced bully.

He’s a “bad boy, jerkface bully, and the universe’s hottest, wealthiest, and most unobtainable bachelor – who is also her chemistry lab partner.”

Unruly by Cora Brent — New Release!!

This is a new standalone romance!

“This is not a simple story. This is not even just one story. There’s a boy, and there’s a girl. But there’s so much more than that. Listen… I was going home. There were no plans to embark on some crazy sex odyssey with a wild baseball player. Through the years, triumph or heartbreak would bring us together. Only to shatter us once more… It was never over though. It never will be…”

Echo (Black Lotus #2) by EK Blair — New Release!!

This is the psychological thriller/suspense/romance sequel to Bang ($0.99).
The books must be read in order (continuing story).

“It’s been said the longest echo ever measured lasted 75 seconds, but I can assure you, this will last much longer. The bang deafened the world around me… allowing the reflection of its destruction to live far beyond its intended life. It will follow me forever… You want answers? So do I.”

Salvation by Robin Covington — New Release!!

This standalone sounds good! It’s $0.99 (limited time) and a portion of the royalties will be donated to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. — After surviving an explosion, her life hangs by a thread. A piece of shrapnel is lodged in her back and when the doctors tell her paralysis is inevitable, she decides to take her own life rather than face a lifetime in a wheelchair… The hero is on a downward spiral of his own. The last thing he needs is to meet the woman who compels him to be a better man. Can they save each other?

Born of Defiance by Sherrilyn Kenyon — New Release!!

This is the latest (7th) book in the amazing League series (it’s sci-fi romance, which is not a genre I usually read but these books are SO good and completely character/romance focused! Full of snarky humor, intense action, and passionate romance). If you’re new to the series, you should start with the first one: Born of Night and then read all the books after that in order. I’ve probably read at least 30 books by this author and I’ve absolutely loved them all!

Compulsive by Lia Fairchild — New Release!!

This is a new standalone romance. — Lies hurt. Lies destroy. But some lies protect… and heal. At least that’s what she’d hoped for. She’s a compulsive liar using it as a defense mechanism to survive life and her shattered past… When she starts seeing therapist Daniel Harrison, she can no longer deny the truths that have haunted her for so many years… Opening up to Daniel leaves her exposed and vulnerable [and] she can’t contain the attraction or the feelings he elicits…

Black Rainbow by J.J. McAvoy — New Release!!

This is a “sweet and steamy” romance that has me SO intrigued!!!

“After an erotic fling with a musician she meets in a bar, she never expects to see him again. Then Monday morning, she discovers that her former lover is not only her professor, but he’s also one of the top criminal lawyers in the state…. With everyone in class vying to be one of the twelve students that he takes under his wing, tensions run high. She considers dropping his class, but to get her father out of prison, she knows she needs to learn from the best of the best – and that’s him.”
