LATEST NEW RELEASES, RECOMMENDATIONS, & PRE-ORDERS — WEEK OF APRIL 3, 2018

NEW RECOMMENDATION: The Birthday List by Devney Perry (My Review) 
*** OH MY SWOON!!!!! This was one of my most highly anticipated books of this year and I read an early copy and LOVED IT!!! It was such a beautifully written love story — the ultimate slow-burning romance full of HEART, HEALING, and HAPPINESS that truly showed that even after the most heart-breaking loss imaginable, it was still possible to find a second chance at love and life. This hero was SO patience and gentle and understanding… he just MADE MY HEART MELT over and over. And the heroine was strong and relatable. While some parts of the story were painful, I would definitely describe this book as a FEEL-GOOD ROMANCE and one that left me with the biggest smile on my face. This book is a complete standalone NOT related to any of her other amazing books and I highly recommend grabbing a copy if you want an awesome read!!

I’ve already reviewed it and it was 5 STARS OF AWESOME!!! Absolutely GORGEOUS and FULL OF FEELS and BADASSERY!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!! — “Long ago, Shirleen made her choice.

Moses has different ideas about Shirleen. He’s more interested in the Shirleen of now, mostly because she’s interesting. And funny. And loyal. Smart. Beautiful.

The Birthday List by Devney Perry — New Release!!

TOP FAVORITE!!! Standalone: “Happily married to her college sweetheart, she lived a blessed life with the husband of her dreams. Then everything changed. She is no longer a wife. She is no longer the envy of her single friends. Now, people look at her with pity as they whisper a single word behind her back. Widow.

Years after her husband’s tragic death, years of pain and sorrow and wishing for the life she’ll never get back, she decides to finish his birthday list. She’ll do the things he wanted to most. Because maybe, just maybe, if she can complete his list, she can start to live again.

She expects going through the birthday list will be hard. She expects it to hurt. But what she doesn’t expect is Cole. Could the man who delivered the news of her husband’s death and shattered her heart be the one to help her put it back together again?”

 

The Boy and His Ribbon by Pepper Winters — New Release!!

Duet: “What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I’ll tell you what you do. You lie.”

I was young when I fell in love with him, when he switched from my world to my everything. My parents bought him for cheap labour, just like they had with many other kids, and he had the scars to prove it. At the start, he hated me, and I could understand why. For years he was my worst enemy, fiercest protector, and dearest friend. But by the end…he loved me. The only problem was, he loved me in an entirely different way to the way I loved him. And slowly, my secret drove us apart..”

 

As She Fades by Abbi Glines — New Release!!

Standalone: “On the night of her high school graduation, Vale McKinley and her boyfriend Crawford are in a terrible car accident that leaves Crawford in a coma. They were supposed to spend the summer planning for college, for a bright future full of possibility. Together. Instead, she spends long days in the hospital, hoping he will awaken.

Slate Allen, a college friend of her brother, has been visiting his dying uncle at the same hospital. When he and Vale meet, she can’t deny the flutter of an illicit attraction. She tries to ignore her feelings, but she’s not immune to Slate’s charm. Slowly, they form a cautious friendship.

Then, Crawford wakes up… with no memory of Vale or their relationship. Heartbroken, Vale opts to leave for college and move on with her life. Except now, she’s in Slate’s territory, and their story is about to take a very strange turn…”

 

Hot Daddy by Lila Monroe — New Release!!

Can standalone: “He’s a playboy CEO who lives life in the fast lane: hot women, hotter deals, and… a fake fiancee? I signed on to help reform his reckless image and win custody of his god-children, but I wasn’t expecting to come face-to-face (and mouth-to-mouth) with my wild Vegas hook-up from three years ago. AKA, 6”3 of tanned muscle, sharp suits, and ‘undress me’ eyes. AAKA, the best thigh-clenching, bed-shaking sex of my life. AAAKA, the man who couldn’t be more off-limits if he had a uranium belt wrapped around his, um, assets. I’ve never been one to break the rules, but he has me wanting to rip them up – and roll around naked on the scrap paper. But with just three weeks to turn this bachelor into a DILF, can we keep our crazy chemistry from derailing his plans? Or will gold-digging relatives, rambunctious pre-teens, and a little thing called love leave us both crashed out of the race?”

 

Silent Sins by Audrey Carlan — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Money and status has controlled every ounce of my world and I want no part of it. It’s what took away the most important person in my life. He’s gone and I’m alone, and no one is here to save me.

To find a healthier avenue to deal with my grief, I turned to yoga for salvation—and found it in the tall, dark, and brutally attractive Nicholas Salerno. He’s everything I’m not. Lives every day to the fullest, loves his family, and goes after what he wants with a thrust that’s unmatched. I can’t help but be swept up in his beauty as he attempts to show me the light and reawaken my desires. Except he doesn’t know what I’ve hidden, and I’m afraid he’ll despise what he finds…when my sins are no longer silent.”

 

Before I Let You Go by Kelly Rimmer — New Release!!

Standalone: “The 2:00 a.m. call is the first time Lexie Vidler has heard her sister’s voice in years. Annie is a drug addict, a thief, a liar—and in trouble, again. Lexie has always bailed Annie out, given her money, a place to sleep, sent her to every kind of rehab. But this time, she’s not just strung out—she’s pregnant and in premature labor. If she goes to the hospital, she’ll lose custody of her baby—maybe even go to prison. But the alternative is unthinkable.

As the weeks unfold, Lexie finds herself caring for her fragile newborn niece while her carefully ordered life is collapsing around her. She’s in danger of losing her job, and her fiancé only has so much patience for Annie’s drama. In court-ordered rehab, Annie attempts to halt her downward spiral by confronting long-buried secrets from the sisters’ childhoods, ghosts that Lexie doesn’t want to face. But will the journey heal Annie, or lead her down a darker path?”

 

The Last King by Katee Robert — New Release!!

Can standalone: He’s the man she hates to love! — “He just inherited his father’s fortune, his company… and all his enemies. If he’s going to stay on top, he needs someone he can trust beside him. And though they’ve been rivals for years, there’s no one he trusts more than her.

The rebel. That’s how she has always thought of him. And he’s absolutely living up to his unpredictable ways when he strides into her office and asks for help. She can’t help wondering if it’s a legit request or just a ploy to get her into bed. Not that she’d mind either one. After all, she likes to live on the edge too… But soon the threats to the King empire are mounting, and the two find family secrets darker than they ever imagined and dangerous enough to get them both killed…”

 

Blood Veil by Megan Erickson — New Release!!

Can standalone: Her: “Having never known my parents, I’ve always felt like an orphan. All I want is a normal life. But after I’m attacked in my bedroom by one vampire—and rescued by another—it’s about time to give up on “normal” once and for all. Idris, the second in command of the vampire clan, has come to my aid, but his motives for saving me are unclear. And what surprises me most is my attraction to his heated gaze…”

Him: Terror. Curiosity. Arousal. These are the natural impulses of a human female, not the spawn of the ruthless king. Is it possible that she is unaware of her bloodline—and the power coursing through her veins? As the daughter of my archenemy, she was supposed to be my ransom. But how quickly the heat of desire changes everything. Now the family she has always craved is trying to kill her, and it’s up to me to save her again—when all I really want to do is make her mine.”

 

Kinda Don’t Care by Lani Lynn Vale — New Release!!

Can standalone: “She’s in a white dress that dances around her ankles, and her hair tumbles in a long sheet of curls down her back. A veil covers her beautiful eyes, and she smiles directly at him. She is everything he’s ever imagined she would be on her wedding day. Breathtaking. Gorgeous. Perfect. The moment he sees her walking down the aisle towards him, he knows that she’s the one.

Then she passes him, making her way to the man she’s to marry.

A man that wasn’t him.

A man that he knows with one hundred percent certainty isn’t good enough for her.

It seems that her father isn’t the only one who’s having a hard time giving her away. He only wishes he knew why.

Everything about her sparks protective instincts he doesn’t feel for anyone, not even his own fiancé.

What he feels for the bride, however, isn’t merely a simple attraction. He knows that something is there just beneath the surface…if only he could reach it.

It has to be something huge, too, otherwise he wouldn’t be drinking whiskey straight from the flask in a church pew and wondering how many years he would do in prison if he shot the groom in front of about a hundred witnesses—half of those being cops.

He was good…but not that good.

A near-death experience cost Rafe almost six months of his memory, but right now he can’t help but feel like a huge mistake is being made on both of their parts. One that’s going to cost him everything.

Then she says I do.”

AUTHOR NOTE: “I solemnly swear that there is NO CHEATING in this book … but looks are deceiving. So hang with me.”

 

The Dandelion by Michelle Leighton — New Release!!

Standalone: “At thirty-five, Abigail Simmons has mastered only one thing—running. When tragedy strikes, she runs. This time her urge to flee brings Abi back to her hometown, where she hopes she can find the peace she’s always searched for. That hope is dashed when Abi’s ex, Sam Forrester, bumps his way back into her life.

Sam has flourished in ways Abi hasn’t. From the outside, he has it all—a successful medical practice, a beautiful daughter, and a charming wife. Who is dying… Sara Forrester is dying and her final wish is for Sam to find love again so she can meet the woman who will finish raising her daughter and grow old with her husband. Abi seems like the perfect fit, but what Sara doesn’t know is that Abi has a secret, a secret no one could guess. And it’s a deal breaker.”
