❤ LATEST TOP RECOMMENDATIONS ❤

CHANGING COURSE & STOLEN COURSE by Aly Martinez

SQUEEE!!!! I totally LOVED these two books!! Once I started them, I couldn’t put them down!!! They were each unique but both had a wonderful balance of heart wrenching angst, smoking hot swoon-filled romance, and humor… and I totally fell for the heroes, Brett and Caleb. I just love the protective, tortured heroes (and these ones are both cops!)… *dreamy sigh* …. They make my heart melt!!! These books are both standalones but the stories are strongly interconnected and the heroes are best friends so it’s best to read them in order!! Here’s my review of the first one and I just posted the second review 🙂 * YOU GUYS HAVE TO READ THESE!!! *

CARNAGE by Lesley Jones (Read 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.” — This book gave me a 5-day book hangover and it’s definitely one of my favorites of the year now! It was a passionate, gut-wrenching love story. A non-stop, messy, emotional, beautiful, devastating roller coaster ride from start to finish and honestly, I LOVED it!!!!! It made me FEEL every emotion. It took over my life and heart. But please note that this is not your typical romance story. It completely shattered all my book rules and is just not the kind of book that I usually read so please go into it with a very, very open mind.

LOVING MR. DANIELS by Brittainy C. Cherry

I absolutely loved this book!!! A beautiful story that took me by surprise in the best of ways. It was so much MORE than just a forbidden student-teacher romance. It was a love story and it was a life story. All kinds of love, all kinds of life. I laughed, I cried and I totally loved it!! It’s a standalone and you can read my review here. I highly recommend checking it out, especially if you were a fan of Slammed!!

❤ NEW RELEASES ❤

BEAUTIFUL BROKEN PROMISES by Kimberly Lauren — New Release

This is a new standalone novel that it sounds really good!! ➜ Lane Parker has secrets he hasn’t even told his closest friends…. “Every day you stay gone, I die a thousand more deaths. So, I don’t give up and I won’t let them win. I will find you and I will make sure that you know. You’re my everything.”

PS: This is a total standalone novel. No need to read the first two books in the series to enjoy this one. This is not a dark romance. New Adult Contemporary Romance. And the author suggest avoiding reviews because there is a certain spoiler she feels would be better if you didn’t know about before you read it.

BEFORE HE WAS FAMOUS by Becky Wicks — New Release

New rock star romance!!!! Ooohhh, I love the sound of this one!! It’s a friends-to-lovers romance. The blurb calls it a story of lifelong friendships, love and hope, set in a world of celebrity, fame and social media… Her best friend becomes the “sexiest and most famous” rock star on the planet and all his songs are about her

SWEET DESTRUCTION by Paige Weaver — New Release

I feel like I want to read every new release this week!! This one is a standalone romance and it’s a love-hate relationship. The heroine comes from a world of rundown trailers and crime-ridden streets. “But there was one certainty in my life. A black smudge on my window of hell. Cole Walker. He was a criminal. Fast cars and fast women were his hobbies.. . I was his addiction and his craving. His enemy on this earth. I feared him. I hated him. I loved him even more.”

APARTMENT 2B by K Webster — New Release

This has great ratings and it has a paranormal element!! The heroine has had a rough life. Having escaped a dark past, she needs to find her own way in life and moves into a new apartment. Every day is a struggle… But then, “a handsome, yet mysterious stranger” comes into her life and he has “secrets he’s unwilling to share…” — I’m very intrigued!!

FINDING MY PRINCE CHARMING by J.S. Cooper — New Release

This is a “royalty” romance with a twist!!! He’s a prince AND her teacher!! It’s the first of a 2-book contemporary romance series ➜ Can a Playboy Prince ever be tamed? When Lola Franklin decided to study abroad she never anticipated a whirlwind weekend romance with a hot guy before classes started. And she certainly never counted on the hot guy being her new professor. Or a Prince. Or the biggest asshole she had ever met…

FLAT-OUT CELESTE by Jessica Park — New Release

Woohoo!! This new release is getting fantastic ratings!!! It’s a standalone spin-off of one of my favorite books, Flat Out Love (read my review), and it follows Celeste as she heads to college and falls in love!! I am so excited to read this!!! *happy dance* (PS: You can either read this on it’s own, or after Flat Out Love. It’s up to you!)

READY FOR YOU by JL Berg — $0.99 New Release

This second-chance romance is a complete standalone that is part of the highly-rated “Ready” series and it’s on a special $0.99 introductory price!! I love the sound of it from the blurb!!

This is a new dark contemporary romance that is the first of a 2-book series. Here’s the blurb ➜ “He gave them a choice. She took it. He made her promise two years. She should have known there was a catch.”

WAKING UP IN VEGAS by Stevie Kisner — New Release

This sounds hilarious!! ➜ “I’m Tack Morgan, and I’m the host of the most listened-to morning drive-time show… I’m also in therapy for sexual harassment… To be clear, I don’t have sexual harassment issues. I have sexual frustration issues… I haven’t gotten laid in… too long. Honestly, I haven’t been keeping track. Actually, yes, I have. It’s been two months. Coincidentally, that’s exactly how long Jensen MacKenzie has been my co-host. I don’t think my balls can get any bluer.” 😀

CHAT by Theresa Rite — New Release

This has an interesting premise!! It’s an erotic romance standalone about a guy and a girl who became best friends in second grade. 26 years later, he’s moving on from a divorce and her world is crumbling…But “as Sandy begins to chat with Jason online, she creates a safe place to explore what neither of the friends thought would ever exist between them. Twenty-six years… twenty-six letters.”

PENANCE: A LOVE STORY by Sarah Buhl — Recent Release

This is a standalone romance and I’m told the hero is shy but strong, tattooed, and “one of the sweetest assholes you’ll ever meet” oh AND he’s a virgin (!!) while the heroine is a more of a daring free spirit but lives a life where she feels plagued by guilt for a mistake in her past… and this is their love story.

ADDICTED TO YOU by K & B Ritchie — $0.99 Recommendation (My review)

This is the first book of one of my MOST favorite on-going series. I love love love love LOVE it!!! Don’t worry, there are no cliffhangers where the story is at so it’s totally safe to start. Really, you have to meet Lily & Lo!! They way they LOVE each other just makes my heart squeeze!! ♥ Oh, and the series just got new covers too! Be sure to read these books in order: Addicted To You ($0.99), Ricochet ($0.99), Addicted For Now, Kiss The Sky, Hothouse Flower.

AROUSE by Nina Lane — $0.99 Recommendation (My Review)

We’ve all read stories of first love and second-chances… but few stories are actually about a marriage and this story is about an already-married couple. It begins after the “happily-ever-after” where most romances end and is truly one of the most beautifully written and intensely passionate love stories I’ve ever read. Dean & Liv’s romance is breathtaking!!! Don’t miss this sale!!! #1 Arouse ($0.99), #2 Allure, #3 Awaken.

IN THE STILLNESS by Andrea Randall — $1.99 Recommendation (My review)

This is of my most favorite standalones, and also one of the most emotionally charged second chance romances I’ve ever read ➜ “I love you so much, Natalie, and when I get home I’m going to keep loving you until you tell me to stop. But don’t, please. Don’t tell me to stop.” (Also, 25% of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to charity.)

RECLAIMING THE SAND by A.M. Walters — $0.99 Recommendation (My review)

This beautifully written love story dealt with a tough subject matter (the hero is Autistic and the heroine bullied him in school many years ago) in a heartfelt and respectful way. I really loved it!! ➜ “You will hate me. You will love him. I love him. He has changed my world.”

DEEPER by Robin York — $0.99 Sale

This book from my TBR is still on sale for only $0.99 (reg. $7.99). It’s the first of a 2-part romance series called Caroline & West about a college student who is attacked online when her ex posts their sex pictures. She tries to make the pictures disappear… then a guy she barely knows rises to her defence… #1 Deeper, #2 Harder

THE DARK LIGHT OF DAY by TM Frazier — $0.99 Recommendation (My review)

This is not your typical romance, but I loved it!! It was dark, gritty, and even brutal, but also beautiful, sexy & heartwarming. It’s a standalone about a girl who’s been through hell and has survived a brutal childhood… And she’s now homeless, sleeping in a junkyard, and on the run when she meets Jake, a tattooed blue-eyed biker with secrets that rival her own…

THE WILL by Kristen Ashley — Recommendation

Woohoo!!!! This is now available in paperback too!! It’s one of my most favorite standalones – an absolutely gorgeous, heartwarming romance!!! I seriously love Jake Spear ➜ “Every inch of you, outside and any way you can get inside, baby, physically or emotionally, is mine.” **SWOOOOOON**

THE SWEET GUM TREE by Katherine Allred — $1.49 Recommendation

This is another of my favorite standalone romances. It’s honestly one of the most beautifully written, intense, and emotional second chance love stories I’ve ever read. It’s both heart wrenching and heart warming and I remember when I first read it that it kept me up all night glued to the page. It was absolutely a 5 STAR read for me!

CLIPPED WINGS SERIES by Helena Hunting — on my TBR!

This trilogy is also now complete and I can’t wait to start reading it!!! The blurb calls it an emotional love story between two young people who desperately want to love and be loved but are afraid to completely let go of their pasts!! <— Love that!!

SAVIOUR & RESOLUTION by Lesley Jones — on my TBR!

After finishing Carnage and loving it, I went looking for books by this author. This is a 2-book contemporary romance series (HEA) and the blurb says: “Join Lauren and Gabriel on their emotional, funny, sexy and traumatic journey as they try to conquer the demons from their past and try to build a future together. Their story will make you laugh and it will make you cry and sometimes do both at the same time! This isn’t a hearts and flowers romance, it follows the story of two broken people, trying to find a way forward together after being let down in the worst possible ways.”

ROOM FOR YOU & ROOM FOR MORE by Beth Ehemann (My review)

If anyone is ever looking for a SWOONY romance that’ll have your heart melting, I highly recommend this 2-book series!! I read these last month and fell in LOVE with Brody!! The heroine is a single mom with little twin girls, and the hero is a famous hockey player and when a storm strands him at the Inn she runs, he has to stay a few days…. oh, and he calls her little girls his Twinkies!!!
