<— Well. *grins* I’m thinking ummm… this. Yep. That’ll be my next read, especially after reading that synopsis. *phew* looks like I’m in for some alpha-male biker bossiness and yet, I’m already crushing (you now… ’cause of what made him decide to be so bossy). Awwww. 😉
Then I’m thinking of going back to my “Seventeen books on my TBR List” and choosing another sure-fire winner from the bunch. And since I just purchased the first 4 books in Tiffany Snow’s “Kathleen Turner” series (they were yesterday’s “Kindle Daily Deal”), I’m thinking of moving on to those next. I hear the the love triangle continues to burn bright, and our fellow readers are in love and on opposite teams!
And of course, there’s the latest “Cat and Bones” (Night Huntress Series) book that’s calling me. Plus it’s the last and I’ve been following this series since the start. *sigh* I’m going to be sad to say goodbye…
Okay so here are the latest book releases (I noted a few that look good and/or gave me a bit of a synopsis “jolt”) & some bargain finds, too!
P.S. Let me know if I’m missing any or if you loved any (from this list or elsewhere).
BARGAINS (NOTE: bargain priced when I added them, but prices can change on Amazon, so make sure to check before you finalize your order).
- Make Me: Twelve Tales of Dark Desire by a TON of our favorite dark-read authors (like Skye Warren and CJ Roberts & Aleatha Romig)!! This is only a pre-order link, but in “pre-order” format for a TON of full length books (and the few I’ve read on that list, I’ve LOVED so I can’t wait to read the others. Oh yessssss. I one-clicked!)
- Bullet to the Heart (No Mercy) by Lea Griffith <— WHOA!! BOOK ALERT!! —> *squeeeee* Aimee found us a SERIOUS book deal!! I’ve had this one on my TBR list for a couple of months now, ’cause I hear it’s so good. WOW. Yah. That was a must-buy. I just one-clicked! Oh and!! Jeannie just weighed in saying: “I finished Bullet to the Heart and it was amazing. Definitely 5 stars! Just a warning though, it was very dark, and had some elements that might disturb some people. If it might be you, read the synopsis and decide. The prologue actually kept me awake at night. Not gory, just….very disturbing. Some scenes were very heartbreaking. All in all, so well written, I highly recommend.“

When she runs into Marcus, her friend Riley’s once-adorable turned smoking-hot little brother, she has no idea how he’s about to rock her world.“
Archers Voice…(sigh)…just finished it and I loved it! Mia Sheridan has a mould for her books that is just awesome. The books are all stand alones and the characters are different with an angle and a twist that keeps the sweetnes of the connection between the characters from becoming just another romance book!
I also just finished Archers Voice by Mia Sheridan and totally agree with Renate. It was a fantastic stand alone book. I can’t recommend this series enough.
Hi Maryse! Have you seen Collaboration by Michelle Lynn and Nevaeh Lee? I bought it on a whim and it was a great read!
At first, I was so excited to see Up From the Grave on my kindle this morning. But I havent started it yet. I realized I’m not ready to say goodbye to Cat and Bones. oh so sad 🙁
More Than Him…So excited for this release. This series is amazing. More Than Him is so great. Talk about emotion. Jay McLean is awesome. If you like a book that makes you feel, even long after you’ve finished this series should be on your TBR list!!!
Reading More Than Him right now and OMG!!!! This series is fabulous and one that I truly adore. Do you want a book that makes you FEEL…I mean really makes you FEEL…then this book is it. Must read series.
More Than Him…. So incredibly excited for this third installment from Jay McLean. She has grown so much as a writer and the book is just absolute PERFECTION! The emotions this one catches are like nothing I have ever felt before! The characters pull you in, and your heart attaches to them and rides right along on this rollercoater with you!!! Stop everything you are doing and buy this beautiful read!!!!!!
I agree with Shamika…Read the “More” series! You will love it!
Maryse, I came across a book today that I don’t remember seeing on any of your new release lists and it came out 1/24/14. Undefeated (Fighter Erotic Romance Series) by Scott Hildreth……..looks like our kind of read and I just 1-clicked it!! haha!
MORE THAN HIM – Jay McLean
If you haven’t read the more series hen shame on you lol.
These books are fantastic. They will have you laughing, crying and wishing like hell Logan Matthews was a real person!!!
Read them, I promise you won’t regret it. x
Vice, Virtual, and Video: Revealed by Bianca Giovanni. This is a fairly new release and it’s about a porn star. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
Oh my!! I gotta check this one out, Melissa. I’ve so far read two “male porn star” romance novels and while I’ve enjoyed them, I’m dying for one that explores an actual attempted real “normal” relationship… despite (and while still working)… that job.
I second what Jennifer said about Collaboration! It’s a refreshingly different “rockstar” romance, both spicy & sweet, and Trace is my new #1 book boyfriend. But I might be willing to share… 😉
Okay I’m looking up Collaboration! 😀
Maryse, love your blog. I recently read this Biker romance – Under Locke by Mariana Zapata – and really liked it. Immediately looked up her other books, and her other book had a porn star hero 🙂 the book is called Lingus.
Archer’s Voice is excellent. It kind of reminded me of Amy Harmon’s Making Faces- the feel of it.
I devoured Reaper’s Legacy today. Absolutely loved it.
Who I Am by S Q Williams was just released today as well 🙂
I think you need to add Out of Line #1 and Out of Time #2 by Jen McLaughlin. Hot tattooed Marine who is a surfer by day and body guard by night. Finn is funny, gorgeous and super hot! Book 3 due to come out April 2014 and I can’t wait!!!
I think it’s going to be a lonnng night with Reaper’s Legacy…it’s been long awaited and so far I’m loving it. I do like some of the other recommendations too – thx for the great list!
The Kathleen Turner Series has been my literary obsession for the past 18 months and the anticipation for the final book “Point of No Return” is already building…can’t wait for May 20th. So will you be Team Blane or Team Kade?
I just one clicked Panic by JA Huss which is the 3rd book in the Rook and Ronin series which is 99 cents. Book 1 and 2 (Tragic and Manic) were pretty good, so hope this one doesn’t disappoint.
First off love the site. I came across your site while long up some of the authors that you have here. Secondly I just finished Up From The Grave sad to see Cat and Bones story end but also look forward to Vlads next story. The book was great and Jeaniene Frost is a great author, hope she writes more!
Reapers legacy was great, although not as good as reaper’s property, but i can tell the next book with Em is going to be intense!!! Wish we didn’t have to wait until June for it. Hmph. Oh well, good thing you have tons of other recommendations I can read in the meantime!
Have you read Under Locke yet?!? Soooooooo good!
I absolutely loved “Layers” and just finished “Inner Core” the day it came out. Daniel is a swoon worthy dude! Good writing and hardly any typos or grammer goof ups. Recommend highly!
Archer’s Voice has ALL 5 star reviews on Amazon. I can’t wait to read it
Thank you to those that suggested the More series. I read More than this last night and LOVED it. It was so perfect. I heart Jake!
OMG just finished Under Locke…amazing! I can’t get over how amazing it was
Just finished Bullet to the Heart by Lea Griffith. WOW! This story was amazing and I am obsessed with this series. I can’t wait to read the next one. Thank you for adding it to your list. I never heard of it until you added it on your bargain list the other day. 5 stars
