Wings Over Poppies by JA DeRouen — New Release!!
I love the sound of this second chance romance standalone!!
“Years have passed, and I’ve tried to move on with my life. But I still dream of him. I still miss him everyday. The memories haunt me… The time has come to find the boy who stole my heart and ran away without a word. But not everyone who is lost wants to be found… This is my story of unfinished love.”
Sever by JM Miller — New Release!!
Oh, this standalone sounds really different!! It seems to be a second chance romance with a unique set up. — The heroine and hero were once childhood friends. They were separated when her family moved away. They meet up several years later, but now she’s in jail and he’s off to college. And the next time they meet (years later again), its when she’s taken a job to break into a house he’s bought… — I’m SUPER intrigued!! *click*
Risking It All by Tessa Bailey — New Release!!
This sounds GOOD!! — She’s gone rogue. He’ll live to keep her safe.
“To track down the evidence she needs to take down her brother’s killer, the heroine joins the NYPD, and goes undercover. Unsanctioned. Alone. Meanwhile the hero has been given a job to extricate her. But when they meet, he knows there’s only one way to keep her safe without blowing either of their covers… by claiming her as his own.”
Contractual by Alice Montalvo-Tribue — New Release!!
Here’s another new standalone!! — “They told me I’d be an escort; they made it sound so easy. Really I’m just a high priced call girl. Desperation brought me to this and it led me to him, my one and only client. Hating him is easy, he reminds me of my shame. Wanting him is wrong it fills me with guilt. Loving him is a losing battle yet it’s become everything. He consumes my every thought and I’d rather play my part in his bed than to spend one day without him.”
Throb by Vi Keeland — New Release!!
This steamy standalone romance has quite the blurb!!
“The rules: No dating. No sex outside of the game. No disclosing the terms of the contract. Rules were made to be broken, right? …. Eight weeks ago I signed a contract. A handsome bachelor, luxury accommodations… It wouldn’t be hard to live up to my end of the bargain. Until I realized the deal I’d made was with the devil…and I was in love with his dirty-talking brother.”
Falling for Jillian by Kristen Proby — New Release!!
This is the latest standalone in this series featuring a veteran struggling with PTSD and the one woman who can help him recover — and learn to love again.
Jillian thought she was a city girl through and through… Zack is a veteran of the Iraq War who came back to the family ranch to raise his preteen son after the boy’s mother took off. He’s struggling to re-establish a relationship with his son, and warding off the demons of PTSD, which still haunt him. The last thing he needs is bold, brassy Jillian…but why can’t he keep his hands off her?
A Father’s Fight by JB Salsbury — New Release!!
This novella is the continuation of the story of the couple from the second standalone in this popular fighter romance series. The main novel should be read first. Both are linked below.
“Life changes in the span of a heartbeat—one tiny heartbeat.”
Kaleidoscope Hearts by Claire Contreras — New Release!!
Oooh, this new standalone sounds so good!!!
“He was my older brother’s best friend. He was never supposed to be mine. I thought we would get it out of our system and move on. One of us did. One of us left.

The Traveling Man by Jane Harvey Berrick — New Release!!
This sounds so intriguing and it’s only $0.99!!
“Even though she only sees him for the two weeks of the year when he passes through her home town, his friendship is the most important of her life. As a child’s friendship grows to adult love, the choices become harder, and they both realize that two weeks a year will never be enough…”
Bound by Flamed by Jeaniene Frost — New Release!!
This is the third book in the PNR Night Price series (a spin-off of the Night Huntress series) following Vlad and Leila.
These are paranormal (vampire) romance books and they are not standalones and should be read in order. All the books are about the same couple.
The Vigilante’s Lover #2 by Annie Winters — New Release!!
This the sequel to The Vigilante’s Lover and continues the story. — She trembles as she reads the letter that arrives from Ridley Prison. Seduction. Rope ties. Things she’s never experienced.

So she writes him, pretending to be the woman he desires. The man is in prison for another fifteen years. It’s harmless. She is safe enough. Until he escapes. (!!!)
Going The Distance by Julianna Keyes — New Release!!
Wow, this sounds DIFFERENT!! — The heroine impulsively accepts a job in China after her life falls apart. Three months in, she’s miserable. She doesn’t speak Mandarin and she’s all alone. The hero, Jarek McLean is a loner. He’s used to be in the army and he’s not looking for friends, and he’s definitely not looking for love. She’s not his type and when he discovers the she’s hiding a secret, he wants to find out what it is… But the closer he gets, the more he falls for her, and suddenly the man who doesn’t do relationships finds himself in a most unexpected one.

*wipes happy tears* I just finished this BEAUTIFUL heartfelt book.

The Mason List by SD Hendrickson (Read my Review)
HOLY WOW!!! This book was just BREATHTAKING!! I truly LOVED it and truly FELT this story with all my heart and soul. My heart raced with the intensity as this epic childhood friends-to-lovers romance built over the years and I honestly had tears in my eyes for the whole last 80% of the book.

Captured by Jasinda Wilder (Read my Review) — standalone
SQUEE!!!! I finished reading this in one sitting and I absolutely LOVED it!!!! Gorgeous emotions with the perfect balance between heart-wrenching and heart-melting… Sexy hotness that had me fanning myself for pages on end… And a story that kept me glued to the book!! This can be read as a standalone and I HIGHLY recommend it!!! It’s been on my TBR since the day it came out and I’m kicking myself for not having read it sooner. I was in the mood for something emotional and so far this is EXACTLY what I wanted!!! It had ALL THE FEELS!! 😀
Withering Hope by Layla Hagen (Read my Review)
I finished this brand new standalone romance while wiping away tears just because of how BEAUTIFUL the epilogue was!! The story is about a woman who is on her way to her wedding when her private jet crashes in the rainforest. With no communication to the outside world and barely any supplies, she and her pilot have to work together to survive. And the more time they spend together, they slowly begin to fall in love… If you’re looking for a “different” love story, give this one a try!! I really enjoyed it!! — And, it’s ONLY $0.99 for a limited time!!!
Absolution by Amanda Dick (Read my Review)
This was really beautiful love story — a second chance romance standalone with a heart-wrenching back story. — After a car accident shatters his girlfriend’s spine, Jack McKenna disappeared. Desperate to escape the guilt, he spent four years hiding in the shadows, punishing himself for not having the courage to go back to her. Then, out of the blue, a phone call forces him to face up to everything and everyone he left behind… especially her.
Never Never by Colleen Hoover & Tarryn Fisher (Read My Review)
This was fast-paced, thrilling, mysterious, exciting, romantic, and kept me guessing the whole way though. I literally could not put it down!!
Best friends since they could walk. In love since they were fourteen.
Complete strangers since this morning.
He’ll do anything to remember.
She’ll do anything to forget.
The Pact by Karina Halle (Read my Review)
If you’re looking for a standalone to fall in love with, this friend-to-lovers romance was fun, hot, a little angsty, and kept me glued to the page!!
The hero is a ruggedly handsome helicopter pilot. The heroine is an ambitious businesswoman. They’ve been best friends forever. Back in their 20’s, they made a pact to marry each other if neither one of them are in a serious relationship by the time they hit thirty… And as they get closer, their pact is put to the test!!
Bad Romeo by Leisa Rayven (Read my Review)
SQUEE!! I absolutely LOOOOVED this book!!! It’s a second chance romance with a moody, brooding, tortured bad boy hero and this INTENSE “hate-to-love-each-other”, dysfunctional-but-can’t-stay-away, love-you-forever-no-matter-how-painful type of love story. It just had this SPARK that made my heart RACE!! 5 STARS!!
“If you want me to apologize, I’ll do it until I lose my fucking voice. I just want things to be right between us. Talk to me. Help me fix this.”
Clipped Wings by Helena Hunting
I recently finished this and loved it! It’s a contemporary romance (not paranormal) about two broken people falling in love. The hero is tall, dark, mysterious, and tattooed. He runs a tattoo parlor and is intrigued when the girl from across the street comes in and shows him the hauntingly beautiful, intricate tattoo she wants him to ink onto her. It’s kind of funny, sweet, but also edgy and a little angsty.
Here’s (my review) and I’ll start the sequel, Inked Armor, soon!

Kumiko Shin says
That’s a lot of books! Yay! Just a small clarification on Jeaniene Frost’s Bound By Flames; it’s not the final book in the series. According to Ms Frost, “…as it turned out, I did have more, so now that the third book is finished, I can officially tell all of you that Bound By Flames will NOT be the end of the Night Prince series. There will be a fourth novel to wrap up Vlad and Leila’s story.”

Oh interesting! Thanks for letting us know! 🙂
Samantha says
Woah! Landslide was an excellent book. This is the worst book hangover I’ve had since Beautiful Disaster, Thoughtless, etc. This has one of the best written epilogues I’ve ever read and I needed tissues. The writing was great, plot was real feeling and the MC’s were both relatable. I laughed, cried and at times wanted to scream and slap someone. Perfect mix of romance, suspense, and gave me all the “feels’.
Aestas says
I’m reading that one next!!
Sarah Carlberg says
I can’t wait to start Jamie’s new book! I also want to read Gayle Forman’s I was here….. squeee so many books so little time!
Aestas says
I know the feeling!! I’m going to start Landslide from this list next 🙂
