The “Best Books” lists that have come my way this year have been pretty great but always in groups of 7 or 3. LOL! This one is 8. My favorite number!! Thank you Nancy for letting us know what you loved, and I can’t wait to explore each one of these.
Let’s begin, shall we? 🙂
My favorite reads have been:
King Of Nothing by Aurora Rose Reynolds <— SMALL BEACH TOWN ROMANCE!!
“I met him when my ship was sinking, and I clung to him through the storm. Little did I know he needed me as much as I needed him…
This is a complete standalone with a happily ever after”

Fragile Sanctuary by Catherine Cowles <— HER GRUMPY, RECLUSIVE CONTRACTOR!
“…The scowl should’ve been my first clue to stay far away from Anson Hunt. The sexy smirk and the fact that he’s my brother’s best friend? Reasons two and three. Not to mention, he’s the new contractor working on my house.
He’s everything I’m not: grumpy, rude, and more than a little attached to his solitude. It doesn’t matter how many times I try to kill him with kindness; the man simply won’t crack.
Until he sees me shatter...”

Through the Glen by Samantha Young <— OPPOSITES ATTRACT!!
“An Amazon Top 100 Bestseller
He’s a cynical, world-weary Londoner. She’s a shy Scot. They might seem like opposites, but a few weeks in the Highlands will bring them together in ways they can’t imagine…”
Branden: Through the Glen by Samantha Young

Slap Shot Surprise by Melanie Harlow <— HOCKEY STAR IS THE GROOMSMAN!
“From USA Today and #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Melanie Harlow comes a Spicy Small Town, Surprise Pregnancy, Hockey Romance.
In my defense, I thought the plane was going to crash. Otherwise, I never would have blurted out those embarrassing things to a perfect stranger. Did I mention he turned out to be a scorching hot superstar of professional hockey? But wait, there’s more.
When the plane lands safely, I rush off, praying I’ll never have to face him again. My luck holds out for less than twenty-four hours, when I realize he’s a groomsman at the wedding I’m attending…”

My Favorite Boss by Melanie Moreland <— HER GRUMPY BOSS!
“Get ready to laugh out loud in the office from New York Times bestselling author Melanie Moreland –
My new boss—Alexander Bane. Aptly named since he’s the bane of my existence. Please isn’t in his vocabulary. He grunts, growls, and demands. If only he didn’t look so sexy when doing so. If only his mouth weren’t so addictive when kissing mine.
He’s quickly becoming my favorite boss. Which is wrong…”

Unbind by Elodie Hart <— BILLIONAIRE IS NOT SUCH A VILLAIN…
Adam Wright may be a self-made billionaire, but he’s also a beast. Most children grow up hating a storybook villain. Based on the injuries that man inflicted on my brother, I grew up hating a real one. When he sort-of kidnaps me and drags me back to his fairytale mansion, it feels like yet another cliché antihero stunt.
Here’s the thing, though. Most villains don’t weep real tears when they see you having a diabetic episode. They don’t abandon their billion-pound empire so they can roll up their sleeves and pull your company back from the brink of bankruptcy. They don’t put you first, care for you, at every single opportunity, dammit.
Unbind is an age gap, enemies to lovers, billionaire romance that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of the Alchemy series. It has no third act breakup, a big HEA, and a whole host of other tropes, too:

Woman By the Lake by Kristen Ashley <— STARTING OVER IN A NEW TOWN
“…The minute she arrives, she knows it’s perfect. The very night of her arrival, however, someone—or something—is scratching at her window.
The next morning, she meets her one and only neighbor, Doc Riggs. He’s a rough, good-time guy who rubs Nadia wrong immediately. They clash, and neither of them are happy to be sharing their lake.
But soon, Nadia learns the lore around her cabin…”

The Hero She Wants by Anna Hackett
“…Hayden Sinclair loves her work. It keeps her far away from the liars, cheats, and phonies in Washington D.C. But when she’s abducted from her archeological dig in Nicaragua, she’s plunged into a life-or-death situation. Her captors plan to use her as a bargaining chip, and Hayden knows she has to escape.
What she never expected was to collide with the world’s biggest, grumpiest rescuer…”
