LATEST NEW RELEASES, RECOMMENDATIONS, & PRE-ORDERS — WEEK OF December 12, 2016

NEW RECOMMENDATION: Max: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel by Sawyer Bennett (Read my Review) 
SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!! AHHHH!!!!!! I honestly can’t stop smiling!!!!!! This was seriously the most gorgeous, SWOOOOOOOOONY book!!! The hero is a famous hockey player who falls head over heels in love with a normal girl. She’s raising three young kids alone and he sweeps into her life and falls for all of them!! OMG – The thing I LOVED the most was how freaking MATURE this couple was. Between his fame and their differences, they had a lot of issues to work through but they were so level-headed that… GAH, it was just SO refreshing!!! This was a perfectly balanced romance novel from start to finish. It had the SWOON, it brought the HEAT, it dished out the ANGST, and tied everything together with gorgeous FEELS. I absolutely LOOOVED IT!!! Kind of a Cinderella romance with a sporty twist!!! You can read it as a complete STANDLAONE and it’s was just released so be sure to grab a copy!!

 
NEW RECOMMENDATION: After We Fall by Melanie Harlow (Read my Review) 
OMG!!!!! This was such a wonderful book!! It genuinely warmed my heart and left me feeling so happy. It was an incredible well balanced story — it will make you laugh out loud in one scene, break your heart in the next, and then have you fanning yourself with how HOT it is!! The hero was former soldier who tragically lost his beloved wife and just never recovered from the loss. The heroine was his complete opposite, a city girl hired to help his business. When they first met, he was grouchy, grumpy, and wanted nothing to do with her — still lost in his grief — but the more they worked together, they were both unable to deny their chemistry… This book had it all — HEALING, HOTNESS, and an ADDICTIVE romance!! I LOVED the story and highly recommend grabbing a copy!! (And, if you’ve already read and loved this book, you can now pre-order the next standalone If You Were Mine)

BOOKWORM NEWS:

• Without Merit: A Novel by Colleen Hoover was just announced!! Colleen Hoover has just shared some exciting news about her next book! She says it’s “about a girl in high school named Merit and how she deals with her crazy family and falling in love. I’m going back to my Slammed/Hopeless roots for this one and revisiting young love. It’s been so much fun and I can’t wait to get it in your hands.” — I have literally loved every single book she’s ever written so I can’t wait to get my hands on this one! Be sure to pre-order a copy! I sure did!



• Dating You / Hating You by Christina Lauren was just announced as well! — Despite the odds against them from an embarrassing meet-awkward at a mutual friend’s Halloween party, Carter and Evie immediately hit it off. Even the realization that they’re both high-powered agents at competing firms in Hollywood isn’t enough to squash the fire… But when their two agencies merge—causing the pair to vie for the same position—all bets are off. What could have been a beautiful, blossoming romance turns into an all-out war of sabotage. Carter and Evie are both thirtysomething professionals—so why can’t they act like it?



• It’s You by Katy Regnery was just announced! She’s writing under a pen name ‘K.P. Kelley’ here and this is a paranormal romance! — “ONCE UPON A TIME… the most beautiful boy in the world kissed me. I’ve never been able to forget. Perhaps it was his jet-black hair, or the changing copper-color of his eyes, the intense way he looked at me… or the fact that he awakened my passion for the first time, at once otherworldly yet heartbreakingly real. After that kiss, I never saw him again. His name was Jack Beauloup. Jack, my “Beautiful Wolf.” Twenty years passed. He has returned. For me…”



• Commander In Chief by Katy Evans has a blurb now! This is the sequel to Mr. President! — “We fell in love during the campaign. The stakes were high. Reputations could have been ruined. Scandal hovered over us like a cloud. Now the man I love is the President. And its not my vote he is after. He wants it all. My heart. My body. My soul. He wants me by his side. In the White House. Normalcy will be gone from my life, privacy forgotten. I am only twenty three. I just wanted to play a part in history. But it seems like history wasn’t done with me. The part where I lost my heart to Matthew Hamilton? It was only the beginning…”

But then it took every dream we thought would come true and it slapped us in the face with the cold hard reality. Dreams were just that… something that floated on the cusp of untouchable, taunting you with every graze of your fingertips before slipping even further away… In the end it became painfully obvious that each of us would always have each other, but we would forever be alone…”

 

Max: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel by Sawyer Bennett — New Release!!

So when he finally meets a nice girl who’s not blinded by his celebrity, he’s feeling the heat—and the pressure to save her from herself. Between working two jobs and raising her sister’s kids, she doesn’t have time for sports—or men. All she knows about him is that he’s the sexiest customer to ever grace her gas-station counter. And he sees past her tired eyes and makes her yearn for things she can’t have: a glamorous fling, a passionate lover, and the time to enjoy both. He makes her feel like Cinderella, even though she has enough baggage to crush a glass slipper. Luckily, he’s determined to win her heart…”

Until the day they meet in New York and everything changes. After a passionate night together, they try to make things work, but neither of them can imagine the ways their love will be challenged… Then one day, she walks into his office and reveals an explosive secret. One that rocks the foundations of his world…”

 

Wicked Impulse by Chelle Bliss — New Release!!

Can standalone: There’s only one thing worse than dating a friend’s sister sleeping with his mother… She’s known for her bossy, overbearing personality almost as much as for her love of nylon tracksuits. But when someone runs off with fifty thousand dollars, she becomes involved in an investigation and catches the eye of a silver fox biker… He has never thought of her as anything more than his buddy’s mom. When she trades in her elastic pants and orthopedic tennis shoes for a pair of skintight jeans and high heels, he takes notice of the fifty-something MILF. When the money trail leads closer to her than expected, he takes charge of the investigation and will do anything to protect her…

She holds everyone at a mile-long distance. It’s the only way to protect herself.

Becoming a Legend by Sarah Robinson — New Release!!

With the MMA National Championships in Las Vegas fast approaching, the man they call “Killer” has no intention of letting anyone or anything get in his way. Somehow, though, a feisty opponent has slipped beneath his guard—and stolen his heart. Fiery and passionate, she is harder to pin down than any rival he has faced in the ring. And she isn’t afraid to tell him that she wants nothing to do with him.

She has been resisting his shameless attempts at flirting for months. But after the hottest night of her life, she’s running scared. There’s a lot about her life he doesn’t know, and she won’t be responsible for ending his career. Now he’s out to prove that he’s ready for a commitment by winning her heart—and he’s never lost a fight…

 

Beyond Surrender by Kit Rocha — New Release!!

War is all he knows. He was raised with one goal: to ensure the sectors’ successful rebellion. His father and his mentor both died for freedom, and nothing will stop him from securing their legacies with victory. He doesn’t have time for distractions—especially beautiful, impulsive ones like her…

 

Bestie by Bella Jewel — New Release!!

Can standalone: “The universe works in mysterious ways.
Well, it did for me, anyway.
It was like it knew that I needed him. It put him in my life during a time I honestly thought I couldn’t go on. He was broken. I was broken. We only had one thing to offer each other – friendship. A true, deep, incredible friendship. Laughter fixed us. Talking bonded us. He quickly became my everything. This is our story. I can’t promise it’s always perfect. It might make you laugh. It might make you cry. It might even make you love. It’s real. It’s us. Besties.”

 

Duke by Jasinda Wilder — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Under ordinary circumstances, waking up bound and gagged next to a hot guy wouldn’t be the worst thing that’s ever happened, but these aren’t ordinary circumstances. There’s guys with guns after us… LOTS of them.

Six-six, built like a god, red hair, blue eyes, and a tree trunk between his legs. Yeah. This is the guy I got kidnapped with. Phrasing is important there: kidnapped WITH, not kidnapped BY. Fortunately, he’s a hard-core badass, because it’s going to take every last shred of skill he has as a killer commando to keep us both alive, and even then, nothing’s a sure thing.”

 

Scarlet Stone by Jewel E Ann — New Release!!

Standalone: “She needs peace, but what she gets is a housemate who looks like Thor, acts like a warden, and smells her proximity like a bloodhound. He’s a carpenter and perfectionist with a body built of steel, a black, hollow heart, and a hunger for revenge. He doesn’t like company, girly-smelling crap, and British accents. He resents every breath she takes. She’s fascinated by his every move… In time, they discover their coexistence is toxic, their physical attraction is electric, the secrets they keep mean the difference between life and death, and the only truth they share is that everything is a lie…”

 

Three Sweet Nothings by Nikki Sloane — New Release!!

Can standalone: Five years ago, we’d been together and on fire, but the flames burned us both. Now she’s back in my life and is all my wildest fantasies in the flesh.
 
I want her. The desire is too powerful to argue against, but I’m not interested in what we had. This is an arrangement about pleasure and finding out who we are behind closed doors. There won’t be talk of love or any sweet nothings whispered by either of us. This time, I’ll control the heat between us and make sure neither of our hearts get too close to the flames.

 

Being Brooke by Emma Hart — New Release!!

Standalone: A laugh-out-loud, witty, romantic comedy about being in love with your best friend. And how much that freaking sucks. — “I’m a freaking disaster. No, seriously. I’m a college drop-out working a dead-end job, my best friend’s dog gets more action than I do, and I have more bad dates in my diary than there are movie remakes. Not to mention I’m completely and utterly in love with Cain Elliott. The problem? He’s in a relationship. With a girl who’s so plastic she makes Barbie cry herself to sleep with jealousy. The second problem? He’s my best friend. And that’s all he can be, right? Right.”
