NEW RECOMMENDATION: Five Years Gone by Marie Force (Read my Review)
GAHHHHHH!!!!!!!! MY FEEEEEELS!!!! You guys!!! This book totally WRECKED me. I’m sitting here with mascara streaks all over my face. I have no idea what I’m feeling. I’m so conflicted. But I am FEELING ALL THE FEELS! On one hand, this book was AMAZING. It grabs you by the heart-strings and keeps you emotionally connected to every angsty word. But on the other hand, I’m so conflicted over the ending. SO CONFLICTED. Except I’m fully able to admit that even if I had gotten the “other” outcome, I probably would STILL would’ve been broken hearted. So now I’m just a complete emotional wreck torn between being fighting mad and yet totally in love with this book that has made me FEEEEEL SO MUCH more than any other book has in a long time. Just…. GAH!!! WOW!!! UGH!!! *snifffffffffffff* Want to feel some feels?? Here, read this book!!! Or check out my spoiler-free review!

NEW RELEASE: What Lies Between by BN Toler (sequel to Where One Goes)
OMG!!! This is the freaking SEQUEL to Where One Goes which was an AMAZINGLY UNIQUE read (probably one of the most UNIQUE BOOKS I’VE EVER READ!!!) and I can’t even believe there’s a sequel but here it is!!! — “At the core of it, life is a test—an opportunity to prove who we are; what we’re really made of. Short as it was, I’d like to think I lived my life well, that when people remember Ike McDermott, they remember he was a good man. When I look back, I’m proud of who I was. Leaving behind the woman I loved was the hardest thing I’d ever done, and finding peace with the knowledge she was building a life with my brother after I moved on took a strength I didn’t know I had. But George and Charlotte were still alive. I wasn’t. Together, they forged on, and I was okay with that because I knew, one day, Charlotte and I would be reunited. One day she would be mine. All I had to do was wait. Time works differently in the afterlife. Without any ties to the living, it doesn’t so much as slow, but stop altogether. There is no worrying about what is to come, there is only what is. I didn’t know if four days, or fifty years had passed when I found Charlotte by our tree in my corner of the other side. All I knew was she was here, and I would never have to let her go. I finally had my reward for the life I’d lived. But I’d soon learn Fate had other plans, and everything I believed about who I was would be tested once again. Only this time, I wasn’t so sure I could stay strong. This time, I wasn’t sure I could be a good man.” — OMG!!!! Be sure to grab a copy of What Lies Between (and read Where One Goes first because they are NOT standalones!!!)

COVER JUST ANNOUNCED: Tinsel: A Lark Cove Novel by Devney Perry
AHHH!!!! *HAPPY DANCE* This will be the final standalone in the Lark Cove series which I have LOOOVED every book of!! — “As the youngest daughter of a wealthy New York family, she’s lived the life of an American princess. But after two scandalous divorces and a breakup smear her name across the society rags, the shine from her crown has dulled. People call her superficial, even gaudy. She’s nothing more than tinsel. Desperate for escape and starving for peace, Sofia heads to Montana for a holiday weekend with her brother. But she doesn’t get the relaxing vacation she planned. Instead, she’s put to work in a bar alongside Dakota Magee—a man who does not want her help. A man who is set on teaching her a few lessons about real life and hard work. But she has a couple of life lessons of her own to teach. Like how to fall in love.” — Be sure to read Tattered (AMAZING!!) and Timid (also AMAZING!!) and pre-order Tragic (CAN’T WAIT!!) and pre-order Tinsel (LAST ONE!!) too!!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

Five Years Gone by Marie Force — New Release!!

Can standalone: “I knew on the day of the attack that our lives were changed forever. What I didn’t know then was that I’d never see John again after he deployed. One day he was living with me, sleeping next to me, making plans with me. The next day he was gone.

That was five years ago. The world has moved on from that awful day, but I’m stuck in my own personal hell, waiting for a man who may be dead for all I know. At my sister’s wedding, I meet Eric, the brother of the groom, and my heart comes alive once again.

The world is riveted by the capture of the terrorist mastermind, brought down by U.S. Special Forces in a daring raid. Now I am trapped between hoping I’ll hear from John and fearing what’ll become of my new life with Eric if I do.“

What Lies Between by BN Toler — New Release!!

Sequel to Where One Goes: “At the core of it, life is a test—an opportunity to prove who we are; what we’re really made of. Short as it was, I’d like to think I lived my life well, that when people remember Ike McDermott, they remember he was a good man. When I look back, I’m proud of who I was.

Leaving behind the woman I loved was the hardest thing I’d ever done, and finding peace with the knowledge she was building a life with my brother after I moved on took a strength I didn’t know I had. But George and Charlotte were still alive. I wasn’t. Together, they forged on, and I was okay with that because I knew, one day, Charlotte and I would be reunited.

One day she would be mine.

All I had to do was wait.

Time works differently in the afterlife. Without any ties to the living, it doesn’t so much as slow, but stop altogether. There is no worrying about what is to come, there is only what is.
I didn’t know if four days, or fifty years had passed when I found Charlotte by our tree in my corner of the other side. All I knew was she was here, and I would never have to let her go. I finally had my reward for the life I’d lived.

But I’d soon learn Fate had other plans, and everything I believed about who I was would be tested once again. Only this time, I wasn’t so sure I could stay strong.

This time, I wasn’t sure I could be a good man.”

Fight or Flight by Samantha Young — New Release!!

Standalone: “The universe is conspiring against her. As if flying back to Phoenix to bury a childhood friend wasn’t hell enough, a cloud of volcanic ash traveling from overseas delayed her flight back home to Boston. Her last ditch attempt to salvage the trip was thwarted by an arrogant Scotsman who steals a first class seat out from under her. Then over the course of their journey home, their antagonism somehow lands them in bed for the steamiest layover she’s ever had. And that’s all it was—until he shows up on her doorstep.

When pure chance pulls her back into his orbit, he proposes they enjoy their physical connection while he’s stranded in Boston. She agrees, knowing her heart’s in no danger since a) she barely likes him and b) his existence in her life is temporary. Not long thereafter she realizes she’s made a terrible error because as it turns out he isn’t quite so unlikeable after all. When his stay in Boston becomes permanent, she must decide whether to fight her feelings for him or give into them. But even if she does decide to risk her heart on him, there is no guarantee her stubborn Scot will want to risk his heart on her….”

Once Upon A Wild Fling by Lauren Blakely — New Release!!

Can standalone: “My brother’s best friend has a proposition for me. Have I mentioned he’s a sexy single dad? Tell me more…

There are a million reasons why Miles Hart isn’t the man I should date but allow me to enumerate the top three. He’s friends with my brother, he’s a single dad, and he’s a sexy, in-demand rock star. He might as well wear an off-limits, totally unavailable, and don’t-even-attempt-to-ride-this-ride sign. Then he asks me to be his plus-one when his band plays at his high school reunion, and the night unfolds in ways I never expect.”

All My Life by Prescott Lane — New Release!!

Standalone: “I’ve known him since before I can remember, and I’ve loved him just as long. I loved him while he loved someone else. I loved him when he had a baby with her. I loved him when she left him… He was just a teenager when [his daughter] was born. I’ve watched him braid his daughter’s hair, hold her hand crossing the street, seen her asleep on his chest. I’m the best friend, the one they can count on for everything from dance lessons to motherly advice, anything they need. I’m their go-to girl.

The best part of any love story is the happily ever after. But what if the happily ever after doesn’t include you? All my life, that’s how long I’ve loved him. Of course, he’s clueless.”

Sweet-Loving Cowboy by Stacey Kennedy — New Release!!

Can standalone: “She finished culinary school with big dreams. Right now, she’s a bartender. While she’s content with her life, her brother is determined that she make a name for herself, because he wants her far away from what he deems a trashy bar. But she refuses to go anywhere. She’s in love with her brother’s best friend, Chase Blackshaw, and that love is keeping her in River Rock.

After the death of his father, he’s the one responsible for running the construction of the Blackshaw Cattle Company’s guest ranch… Now he has more trouble on his hands. The woman he’s forbidden to ever touch has decided to move to Las Vegas. She isn’t so little anymore, and she is finding her all too tempting…”

Love Sincerely Yours by Meghan Quinn & Sara Ney — New Release!!

Can standalone: 2xPAC7S
“Dear Mister.. . . no, too formal.
Hey there sweet cheeks. . . no, too forward.
*Clears throat*
To whom it may concern,

Full disclosure; before we move forward with this email, I would like it to be known that I have consumed an adequate amount of alcoholic beverages to intoxicate myself tonight. Three margaritas, two shots, and one beer—because it was free.

I think it’s important to be open and honest with your co-workers, don’t you?

So here I am, being open and honest. Drunk but honest. Or just drunk with lust? You decide.

I have a hopeless, foolish, schoolgirl crush on you when you are the last person on earth I should be falling for. Did you know people around the office call you a sadist? An egomaniac. An insensitive, arrogant prick. But what they don’t know is your bark is worse than your bite. And that bite doesn’t scare me. The fact is, I’d love that bite of yours to nip at my bare skin while we’re both wearing nothing but sheets.

For once I want you to look at me as more than one of your employees.

And as long as we’re being honest, that navy blue suit you wear? With the crisp white shirt? It really makes me want to loosen your tie and show you exactly who’s boss.

Love,
Sincerely,
Yours”

Misadventures with a Manny by Toni Aleo — New Release!!

Can standalone: “Vera Woods is at her wit’s end. Her husband has run off with the nanny, leaving Vera with a broken heart, three very angry sons, and even less time to juggle the demands of family and her career. After her boys scare away a sixth replacement nanny, Vera is out of time off from work and desperately out of options. Still nursing an aching heart, she turns to an unlikely source for help―a manny.

Lincoln Scott is no stranger to family chaos. But rather than grow jaded, he has thrown his natural talents into building his own business―providing live-in childcare for families as a manny. The money is great and the perks are a blast, but when his family of six years moves to Germany and their plans to bring him along fall through, Lincoln is suddenly unemployed and aware of how much of himself he’s given to other people’s families.

Brought together by circumstances, Lincoln and Vera’s mutually beneficial business arrangement becomes complicated by the undeniable chemistry they share. Vera needs a manny and Lincoln needs a job, but they both may have found the very thing neither one had realized they needed―a whole lot more.”

The Royal Runaway by Lindsay Emory — New Release!!

Can standalone: “For fans of The Princess Diaries comes a fun and daring novel about a modern-day princess who teams up with a spy to find out what happened to the fiancé who left her at the altar—and who just might get her own fairytale in the process.

Princess Theodora Isabella Victoria of Drieden of the Royal House Laurent is so over this princess thing. After her fiancé jilted her on their wedding day, she’s finally back home after spending four months in exile—aka it’s back to press conferences, public appearances, and putting on a show for the nation as the perfect princess they expect her to be. But she’s sick of duty. After all, that’s what got her into this mess in the first place.

So when she sneaks out of the palace and meets a sexy Scot named Nick in a local bar, she relishes the chance to be a normal woman for a change. But just as she thinks she’s found her Prince Charming for the night, he reveals his intentions are less than honorable: he’s the brother of her former fiancé, a British spy, and he’s not above blackmail. As she reluctantly joins forces with Nick to find out what happened the day her fiancé disappeared, together they discover a secret that could destroy a centuries-old monarchy and change life as they know it…”
