WHAT I JUST FINISHED READING: The Clover Chapel by Devney Perry (Read my Review) 
SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!!! I just finished reading this AMAZING upcoming second chance romance!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!! This author’s first standalone novel (The Coppersmith Farmhouse, my review) was one of my TOP FAVORITES of this year and this was another WINNER!!!!! The hero and heroine, two complete strangers, met in Vegas nine years ago and after a whirlwind night of intense attraction, they got married. However, in the morning, he’d vanished. She didn’t know why, and leaving had broken his heart but she never saw him again for a whole decade until she moved to a small town, walked into a party, and came face to face with him. Realizing how rare and precious second chances are, he then made it his mission to win back her heart… Seriously you guys, this book was PURE SWOONY ALPHA ROMANCE PERFECTION!!! I loved EVERY word and it’ll be releasing soon so I HIGHLY RECOMMEND pre-ordering a copy so you don’t miss it!! Seriously. This book was everything!

DETAILED LIST: NEW RELEASES

 

Until Sage by Aurora Rose Reynolds — New Release!!

Can standalone: “He had her once, and the memory of that brief encounter has tortured him since the moment he pushed her away. He should have followed his gut, but he didn’t, and now he’s left watching the woman he wants more than anything from afar… She vowed to protect her heart from him, but when her sister is murdered and her world starts to fall apart, he’s the one person she finds herself leaning on.

Getting a second chance is something he knows is rare. He’s not going to squander the one he’s been given, and he won’t take no for an answer when it comes to making her his. But what he doesn’t know is she has a secret…”

 

Badd to the Bone by Jasinda Wilder — New Release!!

Can standalone: “He’s everything except bad. He’s sexy, sweet, strong, and every other good thing I never thought I wanted in a man. I always thought I needed the real bad boys, the ones that screw you senseless and pull your hair and aren’t there to talk about it in the morning.

He was supposed to be a one-night stand—that’s how it started out, at least… One night with him, and I was hooked. But hooked doesn’t mean ready for a relationship. That’s what he wants. And deep down, I’m starting to fear that’s what I want too. I’m just not sure I’m ready for it. I mean, he’s the literal epitome of tall, dark, and handsome, plus he’s a pilot… How’s a girl supposed to resist that? I couldn’t. I can’t. I’ve tried, but I keep going back for more…”

 

Real Dirty by Meghan March — New Release!!

Duet: I have everything a guy could want—a new single burning up the charts, more money than a simple country boy could spend, and a woman I’m planning to marry.
Until she doesn’t show up for my proposal.
The life I thought was so perfect, isn’t.
The guy who thought he had everything, doesn’t.
I’ve got my heart on lockdown, but life sends me straight into the path of a mouthy bartender who puts me in my place.
Now the only place I want to put her is under me.
I thought I was done with love, but maybe I’m just getting started.

 

The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon — New Release!!

Can standalone: There will be a battle, and you will need to protect your heart.
He had always known who he was. He’d never envied his brother or wanted to be king. He was the bastard son of the late King and a servant girl, and the ignominy of his birth had never bothered him… He stumbles upon a woman who has troubling glimpses of the future and no memory of the past. Armed with his unwanted gift and haunted by regret, he becomes a reluctant savior… With the woman by his side, he embarks upon a journey where the greatest test may be finding the man she believes him to be.

 

The Best Is Yet To Come by Bella Andre — New Release!!

Can standalone: Best friends. High school sweethearts. Passionate lovers. Once upon a time, they were everything to each other. Until big dreams and an even bigger tragedy tore them apart.

Ten years after good-bye, they’re finally together again and the sparks between them are hotter than ever. Soon one kiss is turning into so much more. Not only breathtaking, sizzling lovemaking—but also deep, honest emotions that can’t be denied… He refuses to let the ambitions and disasters that separated them a decade ago wreck them this time. Not when he knows for sure that she is his one true love. He won’t make the same mistake again. Even if it means risking his entire heart, and every last piece of his soul, to show her they belong together now… and forever.

 

Public Relations by Katie Heaney — New Release!!

Standalone: Young PR star Rose Reed is thrown into the big leagues when her boss leaves town the day of the firm’s meeting with Archie Fox, a young, hot, internationally famous British singer-songwriter. The meeting is going badly until she suggests a staged romance with an up-and-coming, young indie star. He’ll do it, but only if Rose becomes his publicist.

As the faux-mance begins to rehabilitate his faltering career, she finds his herself having unexpected, inconvenient and definitely unprofessional feelings for the crooner. But do late night texts and impromptu burrito binges mean he feels the same? In the end, she will have to decide whether to let her fantasy crush go, or to risk her reputation to be with the charming, handsome, scoundrel-y but sweet pop star she’s grown to love.

 

The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo — New Release!!

Standalone: He was the first person to inspire her, to move her, to truly understand her. Was he meant to be the last?

Lucy and Gabe meet as seniors at Columbia University on a day that changes both of their lives forever. Together, they decide they want their lives to mean something, to matter. When they meet again a year later, it seems fated—perhaps they’ll find life’s meaning in each other. But then Gabe becomes a photojournalist assigned to the Middle East and Lucy pursues a career in New York. What follows is a thirteen-year journey of dreams, desires, jealousies, betrayals, and, ultimately, of love. Was it fate that brought them together? Is it choice that has kept them away? Their journey takes them continents apart, but never out of each other’s hearts.

 

Going In Deep by Carly Phillips — New Release!!

Can standalone: He thought he’d hit rock bottom — until he met a woman (isn’t that what they all say?). He used her and broke her heart. Now he wants to turn things around but the damage he dealt stands in his way.

Her unique issues have made it hard to live a normal life. Very few people understand her and she trusts even less … but she believed in him once, and he only betrayed her… Now he is back and determined to win her heart. But this reformed bad boy just might find that going in deep is harder than it looks.

 

Score by Victoria Denault — New Release!!

Can standalone: Hockey god. That’s how everyone sees him now. But when they were teenagers, she knew him as the kid who didn’t have enough nerve to make a move on their one and only disastrous date. Seems he doesn’t have that problem anymore, though. According to the rumors, he’s with a different woman every night. After a rough divorce, the last thing she needs is more heartbreak. But his cocky, playful attitude is hard to resist.

He knows he isn’t built for long-term relationships. But he’s getting sick of women pounding on his door in the middle of the night looking for a rematch. When she comes back into his life, it’s like fate has given him a second chance. He’ll do anything to make her happy again… All he knows for sure is that this time, he’s playing for keeps.

 

Worship Me by Chelle Bliss — New Release!!

James Caldo needs to control everything in his life, even his wife, Izzy Gallo. But she’s headstrong and has a need to test her husband’s limits as much as he pushes hers.

When a case at ALFA Private Investigation takes a dark turn, James is forced to get Izzy involved in an undercover sting, and the assignment will test her sexual boundaries as well as the very foundation of their relationship.

Can Izzy hold her tongue long enough to keep them both safe? Or will her unwillingness to fully submit draw the eye of the very man they’re after?

Can standalone: She has been holding a torch for her older brother’s best friend for more than a decade. He’s a hotshot TV producer who travels the world, never staying in one place for too long. But now he’s in town and just as tempting as ever… with a bossy streak that makes her weak in the knees and a smile that melts her defenses.

He has always had a soft spot for her [but] he never could look at her as just his friend’s little sister. She’s a spitfire, and he just can’t stay away. He loves making her laugh… and blush. Their attraction is irresistible, and between stolen kisses and wicked-hot nights, they form a deep bond that has them both yearning for more…

 

The Other Us by Fiona Harper — New Release!!

Standalone: “If you could turn back time, would you choose a different life? Forty-something Maggie is facing some hard truths. Her only child has flown the nest for university and her marriage to Dan, is more than a little stale. When she spots an announcement on Facebook about a uni reunion, she can’t help wondering what happened to Jude Hanson. The same night Dan proposed, Jude asked Maggie to run away with him, and she starts to wonder how different her life might have been if she’d broken Dan’s heart and taken Jude up on his offer… Then one morning fantasising turns into reality. Maggie wakes up and discovers she’s back in 1992 and twenty-one again. Is she brave enough to choose the future she really wants, and if she is, will the grass be any greener on the other side of the fence? Two men. Two very different possible futures. But is there only once chance at happiness?”

 

Solo by Lauren E Rico — New Release!!

Can standalone: “When graduate student Katherine Brenner walked into my class, I couldn’t stand her… [She was] just like the woman who broke my heart.

If it wasn’t for that blizzard, if her car hadn’t broken down outside my house, if she hadn’t looked amazing by the firelight, I never would have kissed her. No matter how hard I try, every excuse I make not to see her comes up flat… I can’t stop thinking of her lips. Or the way her curves perfectly in my hands. There’s a million reasons why this won’t work. I’m her professor. It’s against university policy. And if this gets out, I could lose everything.”

 

Taming Maverick by CM Owens — New Release!!

Can standalone: Just some fun. Just one night of reckless, harmless, wild fun. That’s what I told myself the night I hooked up with quite possibly the sexiest guy I’ve ever known.
Unless that moment happens to be unknowingly landing in bed with my brand new stepbrother. The universe is a mean, twisted jerk. And one consequence is that I have to be around him and get to know him. The worst consequence is the fact that Maverick Sterling, the infamous playboy who can’t possibly be tamed, is really hard not to want more of once you’ve had a taste. So long as I’m not stupid enough to fall in love, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Right?

 

Betting on the Bad Boy by Stefanie London — New Release!!

Can standalone: Noah Reid may as well have “trust issues” tattooed on his forehead. Being raised in the foster system didn’t give him a positive outlook on relationships, but now he’s looking after his best friend’s bar for one month, and he can’t do it alone.
