Carnage #2 by Lesley Jones — New Release
This new release is the sequel to Carnage #1, which was one of my top favorites of the year (my review)!!! It was a totally gut-wrenching love story spanning 2 decades. Unconventional & completely rule breaking in every way but I still LOVED it. I also recently finished Carnage #2 and here’s my review. — “I was eleven years old, but I knew without a shadow of a doubt I was staring into the eyes of the boy I was going to love forever.” … then he grew up to be a famous rock star.

Reading order: #1 Lost In Me, #1 Fall To You, #3 All For This.
Truly: The New York Series by Ruthie Knox — New Release
This is a “a steamy new series set in the city that never sleeps — alone, at least.” The heroine hates New York. After moving to Manhattan, she “receives the world’s worst marriage proposal, stabs the jerk with a shrimp fork, and storms off alone—only to get mugged. Now she’s got no phone, no cash, and no friends… Frankly, Ben Hausman couldn’t care less. He wants to be left alone to start over and become a better man. Then again, playing the white knight to May’s sexy damsel in distress would be an excellent place to start…”

They should be read in order: #1 Jane’s Melody, #2 Jane’s Harmony.

Sugar On The Edge by Sawyer Bennett — Recent Release
This is a new release from last week I’m looking forward to reading. The hero is a reclusive author who is total loner — twisted, bitter, and angry at the world who is drawn to a girl who is his complete opposite. He’s raw, forceful and a dirty talker. She’s a flowers and romance type of girl. — Sounds fun!!
PS: This is a complete standalone. There are 2 books before it in the series (different couples) but this author writes them so that you can read them alone.
Hope Over Fear by J.A. DeRouen — Recent Release
This is also a recently released standalone. I read the prologue and was hooked!! ➜ Today is the day that the man I love marries someone else. I don’t deserve pity or sympathy. I left Mason and ripped his heart to pieces as I ran away. The guilt and sorrow consume me everyday… But today is a new beginning. Today is the day I will wake up with a renewed determination to be better. My name is Sara Preston, and this is my story about what happens after.

This is the highly anticipated fifteenth novel in the Immortals After Dark series that tells a “sultry tale of a mighty warrior scarred inside and out and the beguiling sorceress with the power to heal him—or vanquish him forever.”
This is a great Paranormal Romance series. Each book is a standalone but all the stories are interconnected so it’s recommended to read them in order. The first book is A Hunger Like No Other.
Come Back To Me by Mila Gray (My Review) — Recent recommendation!!
I absolutely LOVED this book!!! It was SO much more than I expected. Deeply emotional, sexy, funny, romantic…. and it had that special heart-pounding intensity to it. Definitely a new top fav!!! 🙂 — It’s a forbidden romance about a Marine who’s home on leave and drawn to the one girl he can’t have… his best friend’s sister. But he’s only home for 4 weeks before he’s sent out again for another 9 months so every second they have together is stolen and precious…

Bad boy alert!!! This new series is about 3 brothers (triplets) with bad reputations falling in love. Each book is a standalone, this is the first. I haven’t read it but it sounds good!! ➜ They called us ‘those white trash Gentry boys’ until we believed that’s what we were. They told us we were bad, that we’d always be bad. But now I need to be better. For her.
I’m hearing great things about this book! ➜ “I was a thief of men… a whore. Not the conventional type that got paid for sex. I was the girl you talked about in your sad inner circle. The girl you shielded your boyfriend from as you cleverly covered him with your body when I came near. I was at threat to you. One week… one incredible week was all it took to forever change me. I was NEVER going to be you … until I met HIM.”
THE VIXEN AND THE VET by Katy Regnery
I love the sound of this! The heroine is a journalist who decides to write a piece on the town hermit, Asher Lee, a wounded veteran who returned home 8 years ago horrifically scarred and hasn’t been seen since… And when Asher agrees to be interviewed by Savannah, he starts feeling things for her that he hasn’t felt in years. — 50% of proceeds go to charity.
HOW WE DEAL WITH GRAVITY by Ginger Scott
This is a bit of a second chance romance with a rock star hero. When her son was diagnosed with autism, Avery’s husband left her and her son became her whole world until a man from her past walked back into her life. Mason was a rock star who she’d loved silently for years and who’d broken her heart once. But “time and life have a funny way of changing people, and sometimes second chances are there for a reason.”
ALWAYS FOREVER by Cheryl McIntyre
This is a new standalone in the Sometimes Never series (can be read on it’s own). It’s a second chance romance about a guy who was forced to leave his girl behind but returns home 12 years later… I love this kind of story!
Wow, this has HIGH ratings!!! It’s a “forbidden love story” about a single mom who catches the eye of her lawn boy. “Love only comes around once in a lifetime. Only fools think otherwise, and I’m the biggest fool of them all.”
For any biker fans, I’m passing along a reader recommendation here. I haven’t read this book but here’s the info if you want to check it out! ➜ “I swore to myself never again. Never again surrender my heart. Never again sacrifice to the Club. But that all changed in one night. I came home and crashed into him, and my past and present blew up in my face. Both of us lonely, running on empty, and unwilling to admit it. Until now.”
MORE THAN FOREVER by Jay McLean
This series is hugely popular and has insanely HIGH ratings. They should be read in order. This is book four and is Cameron & Lucy’s story ➜ “There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. He promised me that love forever. Even when it wasn’t enough.” — #1 More Than This, #2 More Than Him, #3 More Than Her, #4 More Than Forever.
FINDING DANDELION by Lex Martin
This is the highly rated standalone sequel to Dearest Clementine about a soccer star who has a one-night stand with a girl who, for the first time ever, makes him want “more” but he doesn’t even recognize her the next time he sees her! It can either be read on it’s own or after DC.
PUDDLE JUMPING by Amber L. Johnson — $0.99 Recommendation
This was a beautifully written mature YA standalone romance about two childhood friends who are reunited in high school and fall in love. The hero has Asperger’s and the heroine loves him unconditionally. This is their love story. Read my review.
53 LETTERS FOR MY LOVER by Leylah Attar — Recommendation
Forbidden romance fans!! This was sexy, daring, and beautifully written Adult standalone — kind of a cross between Adult romance and women’s fiction with an intense forbidden romance spanning three decades. This was not your typical love story!! Read my review.
