NEW RECOMMENDATION: Rock Chick Reawakening by Kristen Ashley (Read My Review) 
OMG. OMG. OMG!!!!! Kristen Ashley outdid herself with this gorgeous story! I was an honest blubbering mess and crying happy tears when I finished reading it because it had ALL THE FEEEEELS!! This was one of my most highly anticipated releases of the year and it was everything I’d hoped for and more! Pure Old School Vintage KA GOLD! And, HOLY GORGEOUS EPILOGUE!!! I mean, KA is the queen of epilogues but she really rocked it with this one. Such beautiful love and healing! Swoony and heart-warming book magic!! This is an absolute must read for fans of Alpha male romance!! I LOVED IT!!! It was released this week so be sure to grab a copy!

 
NEW RECOMMENDATION: Everything You Want Me To Be by Mindy Mejia (Read my Review) 
WOW!!! What an AWESOME book!!!! It was a big genre switch for me — a murder mystery rather than a romance — and it was seriously SO WELL WRITTEN!!!! The ending actually surprised me! The story is told from three perspectives and the way they come together is fascinating, insightful, and mysterious. What I loved most about this book was that it wasn’t “thrilling” or “scary”, but it was INTERESTING. Engaging. It pulled me into the story and made me genuinely curious to see what would happen next and the ending had all the answers you’re searching for. It’s rare for me to read this genre but I’d highly recommend this for anyone looking for a great murder mystery novel!
