Oh WOW!!!! This was an absolutely GORGEOUS book!!! My gosh, those FEELS were epic! Honestly, I thought I was handling my emotions pretty well for most of the book, but then this one sentence just did me right in and the TEARS started flowing. The writing was captivating, the romance was heart-breakingly, achingly beautiful, and I absolutely LOVED the story! I really love finding books that can deliver this kind of raw, emotional intensity. It’s an unconventional love story and I would most highly recommended it for fans of Me Before You. It has ALL THE FEELS!!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Full Tilt by Emma Scott — New Release!!

TOP FAVORITE: “I would love you forever, if I only had the chance…”
She has always lived life on the edge. And now, as lead guitarist for a hot up-and-coming band, she is poised at the brink of fame and fortune. A wrecked concert in Las Vegas threatens to ruin her career entirely. She wakes up with the hangover from hell and no memory of the night before, or how she ended up on her limo driver’s couch…

He’s running out of time. He knows his situation is hopeless, and he’s vowed to make the most of the handful of months he has left to him. His plans do not include falling in love with a wild, tempestuous rock musician who wound up passed out on his couch.

He sees that she’s on a path to self-destruction. He lets her crash with him for a few days to dry out and get her head on straight. But neither of them expected the deep connection they felt, or how that connection could grow so fast from friendship into something more. Something deep and pure and life-changing… that they both know will shatter in the end no matter how hard they try to hold on to it.”

 

The Bourbon Thief by Tiffany Reisz — New Release!!

“When he wakes up from a night with a beautiful stranger, it’s to discover he’s been robbed. The only item stolen—a million-dollar bottle of bourbon.

The thief, a mysterious woman, claims the bottle is rightfully hers. After all, the label itself says it’s property of the Maddox family who owned and operated [the] distillery since the last days of the Civil War until the company went out of business for reasons no one knows… No one except her.”

 

Defending Hayden by L.P. Dover — New Release!!

Can standalone: “But when a fatal car accident claims the life of his girlfriend, he finds himself caught in a destructive spiral of drugs, alcohol, and meaningless sex. Football is all he has left. Then fate leads him back to the scene of the crash, and into the arms of a kind, gorgeous woman who sees past his façade to the man he once was… and can be again.

When a chance roadside encounter brings him into her life, she isn’t fooled by his bad attitude: All bark and no bite, he’s hiding a wounded heart beneath that gruff demeanor. And she wants to be the one to kiss it all better. Soon they both find that a dose of passion is potent medicine. But when a hidden enemy lashes out at her, he steps up to do what he does best: put his body on the line in the name of love.”

 

His by Brenda Rothert — New Release!!

Standalone: I’d say I’m down on my luck, but that’s an understatement. I’m flat on my ass. Homeless, hungry and in hiding with my little sister at the age of twenty-one, I’ve never been so desperate. I’ve hit rock bottom when I get an offer I can’t refuse.

She’s an intoxicating mix of tough and vulnerable I’ve never known before. This homeless woman who fits right into my upper-class world is running from someone powerful, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. But she isn’t meant to be controlled, [so] I’ve finally met my match, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make her truly mine.

 

Chasing Impossible by Katie McGarry — New Release!!

Can standalone: Tough and independent, she lets very few people into her inner circle. It’s common knowledge in her Kentucky town that she deals drugs, but not even her closest friends know why. But when a deal goes south and she’s suddenly in danger, she finds herself reluctantly forced to lean on a daredevil boy whose restless spirit matches her own… He has his own reasons for wanting to keep her at arm’s length. But he never expected to find in her the one person who might help him face the demons he’s tried so hard to run from. Together, they will have to fight for the future they both thought was impossible.

 

Hard to Serve by Laura Kaye — New Release!!

Now if only she could find a man to dominate her nights and set her body—and her heart—on fire. When a scorching scene with a hard-bodied, brooding Dom at the club promises just that, she is lured to serve him again and again… Then, as their relationship burns hotter, he learns that he’s been dominating the daughter of the hard-ass boss who has it in for him. Now he must choose between life-long duty and forbidden desire…

 

The Billionaire Bachelor by Jessica Lemmon — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Manwhore. That’s what the board of directors thinks of billionaire bachelor Reese Crane. Ordinarily he couldn’t care less, but his playboy past is preventing the board from naming him CEO…

“She will do anything to get her parents’ hotel back — even marry him. It’s a simple business contract-six months of marriage, absolute secrecy, and the hotel is all hers again. But when sparks fly between them, their passion quickly moves from the boardroom to the bedroom. And soon she is living her worst nightmare: falling in love with her husband …”

 

Addicted by Elle Kennedy — New Release!!

Even though she is well aware that he’s one hot specimen of a man, she refuses to let sex ruin the most important relationship in her life. But when the object of her interest spurns her, she indulges in a little pleasure-filled revenge with her very magnetic, very willing best friend. One thrilling night with him is enough to awaken her unexpected desires for him. And now that she’s had a taste, she’s not sure she can ever give him up…

 

Playing with Monsters by Amelia Hutchins — New Release!!

We have “remained hidden in the shadows for centuries. We’ve avoided the ‘real world’ altogether; hiding from monsters and other creatures we share this planet with. We found protection… Until now. The past has a way of repeating itself. A new game is beginning. No one is safe. He’s coming for me. He’s hunting.
The monster we’ve run from for centuries has found us.
How far will this deadly game go? How far will I be able to take it, or will he destroy me and everything I care about? Will the one thing I can’t live without, be the key to destroying and undoing the past? Or will the past destroy me before I can save the people I love from what I’ve done.”

Though she doesn’t know much about the sweet-talking Texan, and though it’s clear he doesn’t want to be exclusive, dating him beats hanging out with vapid socialites or watching Netflix alone at home.

There, she meets a darkly seductive and oh-so-dangerous businessman who knows exactly how to handle her…”

DETAILED LIST: LATER WEEK RELEASES

 

In Twenty Years by Allison Winn Scotch — Live on Friday!!

Standalone: Twenty years ago, six Penn students shared a house, naively certain that their friendships would endure—until the death of their ringleader and dear friend Bea splintered the group for good. Now, mostly estranged from one another, the remaining five reluctantly gather at that same house on the eve of what would have been Bea’s fortieth birthday.

But along with the return of the friends come old grudges, unrequited feelings, and buried secrets. Catherine, the CEO of a domestic empire, and Owen, a stay-at-home dad, were picture-perfect college sweethearts—but now teeter on the brink of disaster. Lindy, a well-known musician, is pushing middle age in an industry that’s all about youth. Behind his smile, handsome plastic surgeon Colin harbors the heartbreaking truth about his own history with Bea. And Annie carefully curates her life on Instagram and Facebook, keeping up appearances so she doesn’t have to face the truth about her own empty reality… Reunited in the place where so many dreams began, and bolstered by the hope of healing, each of them is forced to confront the past.
