Beneath The Truth by Meghan March was just announced! This is the final sexy standalone in the Beneath series! — “I used to believe there were lines in life you don’t cross. Don’t lie. Don’t cheat. Don’t steal. Until I learned people don’t always practice what they preach. I turned in my badge and gun and walked away from everything. Then I got the call no one wants, and I’m back in New Orleans. Then I got the call no one wants, and I’m back. What I don’t expect is for her to be here too. Another line you don’t cross? Don’t touch your best friend’s little sister. She’s always been off-limits. Too bad I don’t follow the rules anymore.”

Sin by Emma Hart was just announced! This is the first standalone in the Vegas Nights series! — He was cunning, sly, and dangerous, fifty percent of Vegas’ strip clubs were his. Whatever he wanted, money, attention, women, he got. And now he wanted to buy my bar, no matter the cost. I wanted him to go to hell … He played a dirty game, and I followed his rules. I let him think he would win. Despite our differences, it was clear to see that we were no more than two broken hearts colliding in the darkness. Closed off, sexy, and holding a pain that would crush a lesser man, he was the ultimate sin. One I couldn’t deny myself…

BOOK-TO-MOVIE DEALS! Read the books before the movies release!

Forever My Girl by Heidi McLaughlin (my review) is coming to theaters this October 27th!! — I was never supposed to be a rock star. I had my life all planned out for me. Play football in college. Go to the NFL. Marry my high school sweetheart and live happily ever after. I broke both our hearts that day when I told her I was leaving. I was young. I made the right decision for me, but the wrong decision for us. I’ve poured my soul into my music, but I’ve never forgotten her. Her smell, her smile. And now I’m going back. After ten years. I hope I can explain that after all this time. I still want her to be my forever girl.

The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty (my review) is being made into a movie starring Blake Lively! — Imagine that your husband wrote you a letter, to be opened after his death. Imagine, too, that the letter contains his deepest, darkest secret—something with the potential to destroy not just the life you built together, but the lives of others as well. Imagine, then, that you stumble across that letter while your husband is still very much alive…

Hollywood Dirt by Alessandra Torre (my review) has already been filmed and the movie will be released this September! — Cole Masten. Abandoned by his superstar wife, Hollywood’s Perfect Husband is now Hollywood’s Sexiest Bachelor. Watch out Los Angeles, there’s a new bad boy in town… Summer Jenkins. That’s me, a small town girl stuck in Quincy, Georgia. I cook some mean chicken and dumplins, can bluff a grown man out of his savings in poker, and was voted Most Friendly my senior year. We were from different worlds. Our lives shouldn’t have collided. But then Cole Masten read a book about my small town. And six months later, his jet landed on our dusty airstrip, and he brought Hollywood with him. From the start, I knew he was trouble. For our town. And for me. Sometimes, opposites just aren’t meant to attract.

Royally Screwed by Emma Chase(my review) is going to be filmed soon! —
Nicholas Arthur Frederick Edward Pembrook, Crowned Prince of Wessco, aka “His Royal Hotness,” is wickedly charming, devastatingly handsome, and unabashedly arrogant―hard not to be when people are constantly bowing down to you. Then, one snowy night in Manhattan, the prince meets a dark haired beauty who doesn’t bow down. Instead, she throws a pie in his face. Nicholas wants to find out if she tastes as good as her pie, and this heir apparent is used to getting what he wants. Dating a prince isn’t what waitress Olivia Hammond ever imagined it would be. There’s a disapproving queen, a wildly inappropriate spare heir, relentless paparazzi, and brutal public scrutiny…. In the end, Nicholas has to decide who he is and, more importantly, who he wants to be: a King or the man who gets to love Olivia forever.

The Driven Series by K. Bromberg are going to be made into movies next year! All three books will be made into movies: Driven (my review), Fueled (my review), and Crashed (my review)! —Our paths should never have crossed. Colton Donavan was arrogant, exuded that bad boy vibe, and embodied everything I never wanted. And yet all it took was one chance meeting, one mistaken identity, and one stolen kiss for me to know I hated him and desired him instantly… And even though he wouldn’t let me in, I couldn’t walk away. This is our story. Our fight. Our perfectly imperfect love.

NEW REVIEW: Dating You/Hating You by Christina Lauren (Read my Review)
HELLLS YEAAAAH!!!!!!! This was a fantastically written book that I read in one non-stop sitting!!!! Seriously, every few pages, I’d stop and make a note of how genuinely WELL WRITTEN this book was! It seems like a fun, sexy “enemies-to-lovers” office romance where the career-driven hero and heroine begin dating only to find that their companies have merged and they’re now in competition for the same coveted job position and their romance turns to a sabotage war… but there are some VERY strong, important, and incredibly relevant themes explored too that seriously just MADE THIS STORY in my eyes!!!! It had SMART writing, SEXY romance and an ADDICTIVE story so be sure to grab a copy!!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

Dating You / Hating You by Christina Lauren — New Release!!

MY FAVORITE!! Standalone: “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?”

As their passion ignites, they fulfilling their darkest desires while falling harder and deeper than they ever imagined.

Roommates With Benefits by Nicole Williams — New Release!!

Standalone: “He’s the epitome of the “bad boy, good man” persona. The best of both worlds. The worst of them too. He’s the type of guy most girls wouldn’t mind sharing a confined space with, except my new roommate isn’t all swagger and chiseled abs… He’s bossy. Messy. Cocky. Infuriating. Doesn’t believe in personal space. Seems under the delusion he’s my personal protector. He plays college baseball and holds down a part-time job—I don’t know where he finds the time to get on my nerves.

We have nothing in common… except our attraction to one another. And in six hundred square feet of shared space, the tension only has so much room to grow before one of us gives in to temptation….”

Wicked Favor by Sawyer Bennett — New Release!!

Can standalone: “As the owner of an elite sex club located along the Vegas Strip, he never spends the night alone… So when the sister of his sworn enemy shows up asking for help, saying no should be easy.

She doesn’t know why he despises her brother so much, but as long as he can help her, she doesn’t care. He offers her safety while opening her up to a sinful world she never knew existed…”

The Tutor by K. Larsen — New Release!!

No internet or cell service. When her tutoring job ends she’s hit with a brutal turn of events … she’s not permitted to leave.

After months in captivity, she makes a harrowing escape with her student that ends in a car accident on a desolate road. When she comes to, her student is missing.

Now Rachel has returned to the city—and to the bookshop—to work alongside the boy she’d rather not see, if at all possible, for the rest of her life. But Rachel needs the distraction. Her brother drowned months ago, and she can’t feel anything anymore.

As Henry and Rachel work side by side—surrounded by books, watching love stories unfold, exchanging letters between the pages—they find hope in each other. Because life may be uncontrollable, even unbearable sometimes. But it’s possible that words, and love, and second chances are enough…”

Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate — New Release!!

Memphis, 1939. Twelve-year-old Rill Foss and her four younger siblings live a magical life aboard their family’s Mississippi River shantyboat. But when their father must rush their mother to the hospital one stormy night, Rill is left in charge—until strangers arrive in force. Wrenched from all that is familiar and thrown into a Tennessee Children’s Home Society orphanage, the Foss children are assured that they will soon be returned to their parents—but they quickly realize the dark truth. At the mercy of the facility’s cruel director, Rill fights to keep her sisters and brother together in a world of danger and uncertainty.

Based on one of America’s most notorious real-life scandals—in which the director of an adoption organization kidnapped and sold poor children to wealthy families all over the country— this riveting, wrenching, and ultimately uplifting tale reminds us how, even though the paths we take can lead to many places, the heart never forgets where we belong.
