*** NEW REVIEW & MY TOP RECOMMENDATION ***

Addicted After All (Addicted series) by Krista & Becca Ritchie

SQUEEE!!! This is now live!! It’s the latest Addicted series book (the 7th one) and I absolutely LOVED every word!! — Read my review — Without a doubt, this is my #1 Top Favorite “on-going” series. It’s sexy (I mean really, holy hotness!!), it’s romantic (their love story has ALL THE FEELS), it’s heart wrenching (I’ve cried more than once), but also heart warming and funny. The story is totally unique and it’s everything I could ever want in a series delivered with some of the best writing I’ve read. I HIGHLY recommend it for all fans of romance.

NOTE: This series must be read in order. These are NOT standalones. However, there are no cliffhangers now so you are safe to start reading. They are all full-length novels. Here’s the full series reading order: Addicted To You, Ricochet, Addicted For Now, Kiss The Sky, Hothouse Flower, Thrive, Addicted After All.

PS: I know it says this is “book #3” on Amazon but it’s complicated. Basically, the main Addicted series is broken down into 2 sub-series, BUT the stories are all about the same characters so just trust me and read them in the order I listed (which is ALL the books).

This is a standalone.

 

Even The Moon Has Scars by Steph Campbell — New Release!!

This YA romance sounds really good and I love the title!! — He has an arrest record that’s caused an even bigger rift between him and his DA mother. All for a love that wasn’t really true. Now he’s exiled to his grandmother’s, working on his late grandpa’s old Corvair, when a shivering girl knocks on the garage door.

There’s one person who does the math and finds that things don’t really add up… She’s been his neighbor since they were kids… When everyone else walks away and leaves him, she can’t.

Made: A Sempre Novel by JM Darhower — New Release!!

Sempre fans!! This is a new spin-off standalone in this Mafia series focusing on Corrado’s story. It can be read alone, but it’s recommended to read Sempre 1 and Sempre 2 first as that is where you are first introduced to his character.

“Never get close. Never get attached… the world isn’t quite as black and white as it’s made out to be.”

 

Prince Lestat by Anne Rice — New Release!!

“From Anne Rice, the reinventor of the vampire cosmology comes a new, exhilarating novel, a deepening of her vampire mythology, and a chillingly hypnotic mystery-thriller.

And, at the book’s center, the seemingly absent, curiously missing hero-wanderer, the dazzling, dangerous rebel-outlaw–the great hope of the Undead, the dazzling Prince Lestat…”

 

The Buried by Shelley Coriell — New Release!!

I’m super intrigued by this new dark thriller!! (can be read as standalone)

“She gets a chilling call from a young woman claiming to be buried alive. Desperate to find the victim before it’s too late, she’ll do whatever it takes… even if it means excavating the darkest secrets of her own past and turning to the one man she thought she would never see again.”

 

Bright Side by Kim Holden — Reader Recommendation!!

I’m sneaking this book onto this list because I’ve had countless readers tell me that it’s an absolute MUST-READ. I’m told it’s a hugely emotional “ugly cry” book, but I literally get daily messages from readers telling me just how much they LOVED it. So, if you haven’t read it yet, and you’re in the mood for a tear-jerker, definitely try it out!! (PS: Just as a warning, this is a bit of a rule-breaker book for me. But I’m told that it’s worth it!!)

*** RECENT RECOMMENDATIONS & REVIEWS ***

Sociopath by Lime Craven — Recent review!!

This book totally messed with my mind and I still have no idea what to think. It was very well written and downright FASCINATING. It’s a dark romance and some parts did make me uncomfortable but I found myself SO curious about this guy and the way he looked at the world. The pacing is a bit slow, but like I said, I was fascinated by it. It was a MIND FUCK — totally twisted — but how could it not be when the hero of the story literally did. NOT. have. a. conscience. O.O (My review)

 

Bait by M. Mabie — Recent review!!

FUUUUUUUCKKKK!!!! Yes, I’m swearing. I need to. This book put my heart through the wringer. I hated it. I loved it. I hated that I loved it. But I FELT so much for it!!! If you want pure, heart-wrenching, addictive ANGST, then throw your judgments out the window and read this book!!!

Absolutely EPIC, unique, and unforgettable. Calder & Eden’s intense, passionate, forbidden love story captivated me and had my heart racing from the first word to the very last. 6 STARS!!!! — Click here for FAQs about the series.

 

Gravity by LD Cedergreen — New Recommendation!!

*SOB* This was SUCH a good book! Those emotions just hit me SO strongly!!!! I honestly don’t know how to describe the story without it being misleading because there is a HUGE TWIST that changes EVERYTHING you know!! Like, really — woah!! I’ll admit that I actually knew the twist before I started and there’s hidden spoiler section in my review in case you want to know too. It’s totally unconventional but a really great story!! It started a little bit slow but the impact of the whole story on my heart was just… WOW!! — Read my Review.

 

Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward — Recommendation

I loved this new book!! It hooked me right from the start and I couldn’t put it down til the end!! An angsty, unconventional love story and such a roller coaster!! — It’s a standalone romance. Read my Review 🙂

“You’re the only girl in the entire world that’s forbidden, and fuck me if that doesn’t make me want you more than anything.”

 

Ten Below Zero by Whitney Barbetti — Recommendation!!

This was another winner! It’s about a college girl scarred by an attack who gets a text message one day from a wrong number… from a guy who changes her life. “His name is Everett. He’s pushy, he’s arrogant, he crowds my personal space, and worst of all: he makes me feel… But he’s dying. And he’s spending his final days truly living. He’s forcing me to heal. He completes me. And still, he’s dying.” — (PS: don’t be scared, this is NOT a tragic book. I promise. Read my Review)

 

Deacon (Unfinished Heroes) by Kristen Ashley — Recommendation!!

ALPHA MALE FANS!! I loved this book!! A badass Alpha with a dark past, a strong heroine, and a gorgeous slow-burning love story in the Mountains. Another KA winner and definitely a new favorite!! (Read my Review) It can be read as a standalone, but here are all the books in the series: Knight, Creed, Raid, Deacon

“He looks at you like you’re the only reason he’s still breathing.”

 

Rules of Protection by Alison Bliss — Recommendation!!

LMAO!! This book was hilarious!!! It was a laugh-out-loud romantic comedy between a sassy heroine in Witness Protection and the badass Special Agent assigned to protect her. But when the location of their safe house is compromised, he takes her with him deep in the Texas backwoods to hide…

The banter between these two had me smiling and laughing non-stop. If you’re looking for something FUN, this is it!!! — This is a standalone. Read my Review.

 

Worth The Fall by Claudia Connor — Recommendation!!

I totally LOVED this book! The hero is an injured Navy SEAL vacationing on a beach who falls for a single mom there with her 4 little kids. There’s just something about a big, tough, Alpha man who accepts kids who are not his own into his life with complete openness that is utterly HEART-MELTING!!!

It’s the first standalone in a series of standalones (focusing on the hero and his brothers as they each fall in love). — Read my Review

“I will fight for this love. Lie for it. Steal for it. It is worthy of that. I love her completely. She returns the love wildly. This love is worth the unsaid truths. The hidden lies.”

 

Broken by Lauren Layne — Recommendation!! Read my review.

SQUEE!! I loved this!! It was exactly the type of book I wanted now: FUN, SEXY, & HEART WRENCHING with kind of a unique modern-day “Beauty & The Beast” twist to it. It had a brooding, tormented & scarred hero (LOVE those!!) and a strong, sassy heroine who did NOT take any of his shit (LOVE that too!!). Definitely a winner!! And, it can be read as a standalone 😀

A girl with secrets, a guy with scars, and a love that could save them both…

 

Don’t Let Go by Sharla Lovelace — Top Recommendation!!
