“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.”

 

*** COVER REVEAL ***

Colleen Hoover’s next standalone romance will be released March 10, 2015 and it sounds amazing!!! ➜ The heroine falls for an enigmatic artist only to discover that he is keeping a huge secret… All he would have to do to save their relationship is confess. But in this case, the confession could be much more destructive than the actual sin…

*** LATEST NEW RELEASES ***

Darker Water by Lauren Stewart — New Release!!

This sounds really good!! The story is a modern-day, contemporary romance … A heroine with a broken heart who believes true love is nothing but a fairytale, and a cocky hero who wants nothing to do with relationships, somehow falling in love… And, I’ve heard there’s a bit of a unique spin to this story so… I’m intrigued!!

It’s a standalone with a HEA.

 

Home Is Where You Are by Tessa Marie — New Release!!

This was a really sweet romance. The hero is homeless and the heroine is a straight-A student who falls in love with him. After his foster father’s violent attacks, he decides to strike out on his own refusing anyone’s help, determined to get by on his own. But when he meets her, he realizes not everyone is out to hurt him…

It’s a standalone. Read my Review.

 

Beneath This Mask by Meghan March — New Release!!

This is about a heroine who is running away from her past and… “Everything is simple until Simon Duchesne — former hotshot Navy fighter pilot — walks into my life. The flashing cameras he attracts threaten to expose everything I’m hiding, but I can’t seem to stay away…He loves me, and he doesn’t even know my real name.”

This is the first of a new series, but does *not* have a cliffhanger.

 

Down and Out by Kelley R. Martin — New Release!!

“Tattooed package of sin.”

The heroine’s new boss is a deliciously tatted and pierced fighter who is also bossy, arrogant, and (depending on the day) an asshole. And she is “sassy, strong-willed, fiercely independent” and isn’t falling for him but… he wants her!!

Grayson by Lisa Eugene — New Release!!

This blurb made my heart squeeze!! The hero is handsome and wealthy but hides away from society and then one day the heroine discovers why… he suffers from schiz-ophrenia. Paranoid, he retreats into his own world. But she is determined to get through to him. This is their love story…

This is an erotic contemporary romance standalone.

 

All Things Pretty by M. Leighton — New Release!!

Locke (Corps Security) by Harper Sloan — New Release!!

Chasing Abby by Cassia Leo — New Release!!

Torture To Her Soul by JM Darhower — New Release!!

This is the to Monster In His Eyes ($0.99 sale), a highly rated dark romance. — “He is not a good man. I suspect it, the first time I see him, sense the air of danger that surrounds the man… I want to hate him. Sometimes, I do. But it doesn’t stop me from loving him, too.”

And now in the sequel… “She thinks I’m a monster, and maybe I am… But God help me, I love her. I do. And God help anybody who tries to take her from me.”

Gravity by LD Cedergreen — From My TBR!!

This is a book I want to read soon! It’s described as an “emotionally-charged” romance and it has this crazy TWIST to it that nobody sees coming!! Basically… you think it’s one thing, but it’s really something else. I personally don’t like going in blind, so I had a chat with a reader yesterday who told me the details and knowing the twist actually made me want to read the book even more (if I do end up reading it, I’ll add a hidden spoiler section in my review for anyone else who also ‘likes to know’ in advance) so for now… I one-clicked !

 

Dylan and Austin by SL Scott — New Releases!!

So cool!! In this series, you read the first 2 books (a love triangle) and THEN decide which next book to read based on who YOU want her to end up with. ➜ “One woman. Two endings. You decide which book to read or read both.”

Part 1: Scorned, Part 2: Jealousy,
Part 3: Dylan, Part 4: Austin.

*** LATEST TOP RECOMMENDATIONS ***

Ten Below Zero by Whitney Barbetti — Latest review!!

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. Cross my heart. And, it’s a standalone.) Read my Review

 

Deacon (Unfinished Heroes) by Kristen Ashley — New 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 — New Favorite!!

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 — Top 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

 

Black Lies by Alessandra Torre — Top Recommendation!! 5 STARS!!

“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 — Top 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…

 

Losing Me, Finding You by Natalie Ward — Top recommendation!!

I read this book in one sitting recently and absolutely LOVED it!! Holy hell!!! The intensity of this love story was off the charts!!!! My heart was pounding from start to finish and this book was totally unique. Unlike anything else I’ve ever read. — The heroine wakes up every four years in a different city, with a different life, and no memory of her previous lives. Each time she has to figure out where she is, who she is, and has to find her way back to HIM. The man she loves and the man who loves her unconditionally. This is their story. Read my review.
