There have been SO many new releases recently that I decided to just put them a whole bunch of them together in one post here for you to browse through. Unless I have a review linked in though, I haven’t read them yet but many are sequels to books I’ve loved. Happy reading, everyone!! 🙂
COLD BLOODED BEAUTIFUL by Christine Zolendz — New Release
YAY!! It’s live early!! This is the sequel to Brutally Beautiful, a book I recently loved (read my review).

Please note that the first book can be read as a standalone and it was an awesome read! Dark, twist, & funny with fantastic writing. Reading order: #1 Brutally Beautiful, #2 Cold Blooded Beautiful.
LIFERS by Jane Harvey-Berrick — New Release!
This is a standalone romance I’m looking forward to! It’s written by the author of another book I loved (The Education of Sebastian) and this book tells the story of a 24 year old man returning home to his small town after 8 years in prison. Everyone looks down on him and shuns him except for one girl — the preacher’s daughter and resident wild child — who doesn’t judge him but accepts him as he is…
NICO by J.B. Harnett — New Release
This is the third book in The Leaves series but follows a different couple than the first two books. I haven’t read this series but the blurb of this one sounds really good!

❤ OTHER RECENT RELEASES ❤
ARCHER’S VOICE by Mia Sheridan — New Release + Recommendation
This was one of the best books I’ve read this yet. I LOVED IT!!!!! Absolutely loved it!!! Beautiful, emotional, and totally unique story!! So DIFFERENT from anything else I’ve read. Guys, you HAVE to read this book!! It’s a standalone Adult romance (completely unrelated to the other books in the series, and it can be read on it’s own) and I promise you’ll fall in love with Archer Hale!! *swoon* Read my Review.
KISS THE SKY (Addicted series) by Krista & Becca Ritchie — Recent Release + Recommendation
SQUEEE!! This book was absolutely fantastic!!! It’s latest in the Addicted series and I strongly recommend reading the entire series in it’s release order. First, because all the books are awesome, and second, because the main couple from the first books is in this book a lot and it’s best not to spoil their story for yourself. So this is the full reading order: Addicted To You, Ricochet, Addicted For Now, Kiss The Sky. Seriously guys – READ THESE BOOKS!!!!!!!
COMING HOME by Priscilla Glenn — Recent Release + Recommendation
Holy WOW – this book was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It’s a new standalone romance from the author of one of my other favorite books, Back To You) and I absolutely adored it!!!!! Some scenes had had me laughing out loud, others had tears pouring down my face. IT. WAS. SO. BEAUTIFUL!!!! So heartfelt!! I loved it!! 5 STARS!! Read my review.
UNDER LOCKE by Mariana Zapata — Recent Release
Several readers have recently told me how much they loved this new biker romance. It’s a LONG book (915 pages!!!) and the hero is described as “the biggest jerk she’s ever met”. It’s also a standalone from what I understand.
HOPE RESTRAINED by MS Willis — Recent Release
This is the second instalment in the Estate series. These are very dark, erotic captivity-themed romances and while each book is about a different couple, they must be read in order. There is also a prequel novel out but be warned that that one does not have a HEA. The reading order for the main novels is: #1 Madeleine Abducted, #2 Hope Restrained.
STOLEN BREATHS by Pamela Sparkman — Recent Release
This is a brand new standalone romance that sounds really good! I haven’t read it yet but the blurb caught my eye: “I have dents, bruises, scars, and cracks so deep that it’s a wonder I’m not in a million pieces…” I didn’t realize how numb I was until I started feeling again, and he made me feel – everything. Cooper Hudson came into my life when I needed him the most – twice. This is my story. This is the story of us.

MORE THAN HIM by Jay McLean — Recent Release
This is the third book in the MORE series. It should NOT be read as a standalone as this is the direct continuation of the story in book 2. The first book, More Than This reads as a standalone New Adult romance (read my review), and the second book, More Than Her, tells the first part of the story that concludes in More Than Him.

COLLABORATION by Michelle Lynn & Naveah Lee — Recent Release
The blurb on this says this is not your typical rock star romance. For one, Trace, the “rock star” is a rapper and Taryn Starr is not the girl-next-door who unknowingly meets a celebrity, she’s a reigning country music superstar. Their worlds collide when they’re forced by their joint record label to collaborate on a song and the sparks fly….

This is the sequel to Bound and it continues the story of Jason and Kate. The first book is about the heroine who is is pregnant and alone in her last year of college when tragedy strikes.

A REASON TO BREATHE by CP Smith — Recent Release
This is an awesome new Alpha male standalone romance!! The hero is bossy, the heroine is a smartass, and the story is both fun and mysterious ‘cuz in the midst of all romance, there’s also a serial killer on the loose in their town!! Read my review.
TAUT: THE FORD BOOK by J.A. Huss — Recent Release
This is a new spin-off of the Rook & Ronin series following the character of Ford.

UNRAVELED by Jen Frederick — Recent Release
I’m told that this can be read as standalone romance novel (no cliffhanger) and that it features a dirty talking Marine and a knitter taking a second chance on love. Technically though, it’s the third book in a series of standalones: #1 Undeclared, #2 Unspoken.

LOVING CARA by Kristen Proby — Recent Release
This is the first book of a new trilogy and the blurb says that the hero is “an irresistibly cocky, muscle-bound rancher with a taste for tight Levi’s and shameless flirtation…” The author says that it’s a family saga (similar to her Seattle series) with no cliffhangers!
DECEPTIVE INNOCENCE by Krya Davis — Recent Release
Based on the blurb, the story follows a woman out for revenge after her mother dies in jail for a murder she didn’t commit. She knows that the powerful Gable family set her up so she’s determined to bring them down from the inside by seducing the family’s rebellious youngest son, Lander. But he’s much more complicated than she imagined and soon it becomes quite hard to see him as the enemy… I’m told it’s a little similar to the TV show Revenge.
FOREVER WITH YOU (Fixed #3) by Laurelin Paige — Recent Release & Recommendation
This is the final book in the Fixed series!! If dominant and controlling yet tortured heroes make your heart race, then these books will rock your world!! I highly recommend them for fans of the Crossfire series. Here’s the reading order: #1 Fixed On You, #2 Found In You, #3 Forever With You.
REMEMBERING US by Stacey Lynn — Recent Release
A few readers recommended this new release to me and I love the sound of it. From the blurb: “I have no memory of the last two years. I don’t remember graduating college, and I certainly don’t remember Adam – the boyfriend I live with. He loves me. And I love him. At least that’s what everyone says. But when my memories return to me as dreams, I see a different man than the one everyone claims is perfect for me…”
BECAUSE OF ELLISON by MS Willis — Recent Release
The blurb says this: “When I was nineteen years old, I lived for sex, drugs and a good party. I had it all – good looks, a fast car and a hot girlfriend. Nothing in life was more important. That was, until I met Ellison James…. She was snarky. She was rude. She pissed me off like no other woman could. I lived beside her for a summer and in the three months that I walked by her side… She opened my eyes, she changed my life, and made me a better man.”
A GIRL BY ANY OTHER NAME by MK Schiller — Recent Release
OMG!!! I need to read this ASAP!! It’s about a boy and girl, neighbors, who become best friends. At 14, he falls in love with her. At 16, she dies. “Or so he’s told. But Cal never believes it. Sylvie has become part of his soul. He knows her like the steady beating of his own heart. He’d know if she was dead. Cal looks for her, prays for her and finally he just waits for her…. Nine years later, she walks into the community college English class Cal is teaching. Only this girl claims her name is Sophie Becker and she doesn’t know him. Cal knows better. He’s determined to get the girl he loves back—and protect her from the danger that took her away all those years ago.” I LOVE THAT!!!!!
