NEW REVIEW & TOP FAVORITE: Letters To Molly by Devney Perry (Read my Review)
OMG OMG OMG SQUEEEEEEE!!! HOLY WOW!!! I have the happiest of happy tears streaming down my face because I just finished reading this book and it was definitely the most AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL, ROMANTIC book I’ve read all year!!! It’s a story of love, loss, marriage, family, and second chances. It felt so believable, so real, so purely romantic. It was utterly ADDICTIVE in every way. I cancelled dinner plans so I could finish reading this without stopping. I just kept flipping those pages and getting more lost in this story. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVED IT!!! Without any doubt, this was a 5 STAR FAVORITE!! Be sure to pre-order a copy! This is the second standalone in a series of interconnected standalones — each book is about a different couple but the characters are related and/or close friends. You could easily read it alone, or you could read the first one The Birthday List (which I also loved) first and then grab a copy of Letters to Molly because it just went live!!

RARE SALE ALERTS:

Creed by Kristen Ashley and the the entire 5-book Unfinished Heroes Series of interconnected standalones is currently ON SALE for a limited time!! Fair warning, the actual first one in the series is a little hard for some people to read (the hero is very controversial and I personally had a lot of issues with him), but the second book Creed (my review) can be read alone and it’s also one of the BEST BOOKS EVER!!! It’s one of my rare 6-star ratings so I can’t recommend it highly enough! So you might choose to read them in order but just in case you’re not liking the first one, just skip it and read the second because that one is amazing and so are the rest! And at the very least be sure to grab your copy of Creed and don’t miss the whole series on sale too!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

Satisfaction Guaranteed by Lauren Blakely — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Look, she started it. She issued me a challenge I couldn’t back down from… Fine, she’s my business partner’s daughter. All right, I’m also working in the same damn practice with her. Yes, she happens to be my ex-fling. But that was seven years ago, and it was barely a week-long thing. Except, she’s still the one I can’t stop thinking of — brilliant, sexy, captivating… Maybe a week of taking her to new heights will get her out of my head. So what if we spend a few nights on the town too? So what if I romance her across Manhattan? It’s all in the name of scientific pursuit of more magnificent Os. Until the rules change…”

The Edge of Us by Jamie McGuire — New Release!!

“Widowed before thirty, she has been through a lot. Her husband sacrificed his life to save his Marine brothers. Daughter of the US modern militia’s founder, she joins the Marines in his place, too-ready to do anything to help protect his team—men who are like brothers to her now. Retiring together to the town of Colorado Springs, they’ve assembled to take on the job of security at the top-secret military base. As they struggle to adjust to their civilian lives, they also discover new dangers… He has been alone since being bumped out of the foster system at age eighteen, and now his rag-tag family consists of his hotshot brothers and sisters. Shattered by his first love, he never planned to fall for someone again, especially not during fire season in the Colorado mountains, but she is unlike anyone he’s ever met…”

Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey — New Release!!

Standalone: “He was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there’s his best friend’s sister… When she proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. But the girl he used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her…”

The Defender by Donna Grant — New Release!!

Take Me Down by Carly Phillips — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Coming off an emotionally abusive marriage, Emily has an immediate bias against suave, city guys … But despite the slick exterior, Emily discovers Parker is sweet, charming and eager to help… Yet no matter how hot they burn or how well they mesh, Parker’s time with her has an expiration date. And Emily has an ex who refuses to accept that their relationship is over. Parker isn’t a man who gives up. Sweet, sexy Emily Stevens is his chance to reclaim his life. He wants to take care of this woman who makes him feel … everything. If only he could figure out how to merge his two lives, everything would be perfect.

One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son’s new math teacher. But that’s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all – their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked up, and now they’re about to become parents. Together. What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won’t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.”

That’s what New York City cop Barry Sutton is learning as he investigates the devastating phenomenon the media has dubbed False Memory Syndrome—a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. Neuroscientist Helena Smith already understands the power of memory. It’s why she’s dedicated her life to creating a technology that will let us preserve our most precious moments of our pasts. If she succeeds, anyone will be able to re-experience a first kiss, the birth of a child, the final moment with a dying parent. As Barry searches for the truth, he comes face-to-face with an opponent more terrifying than any disease—a force that attacks not just our minds but the very fabric of the past. And as its effects begin to unmake the world as we know it, only he and Helena, working together, will stand a chance at defeating it.
