HAPPY MONDAY & HAPPY START OF A NEW WEEK. ALSO HAPPY MID-MARCH! Time for a new list of early bird book releases & I have eight awesome sounding ones, right here.
P.S. How is the weather where you are? I know we’re getting a cold front tomorrow, so I have a feeling it will be VERY cold and very snowy up North. Perfect time to cozy up with a good, if you ask me.
Three things:
1.) Check out my Poshmark Closet!!! I’m having SO much fun building this.
2.) Speaking of Poshmark, I found my beloved dresses that I wore at Book Bash 2014 on it, and purchased them!! Because, you see, I had rented them from “Rent the Runway” and I fell hard for them but I couldn’t buy them. They weren’t for sale, and even if they were, they would have cost me a FORTUNE. But years later (and still completely beautiful), nostalgia hit, and then curiosity hit, and now… the dresses are mine.
3.) My tomato plants completely crashed from the latest cold front, so I’m going to need to start them again in little cups, but I should have done it a couple of months ago. Because by the time they grow properly, I think it’s going to get too hot in Florida, too quickly for them to produce properly now. *sigh* Tomatoes are everyone’s easiest crop and have always been my hardest.
Okay now… time for BOOKS THAT JUST WENT LIVE!!!

Playing Defense: A Grumpy Sunshine Hockey Romance (Sin Bin Stories) by Lemire, Lyssa <— HOCKEY ROMANCE & SHE HAS A DEAL FOR HIM… “…The hockey captain is totally wrong for me. He’s sunshine, I’m a cynic; he wants love, I don’t even want friends. I know I should keep my distance—instead, I offer to take his V-card. Jamie O’Donnell: The face of a model and the body of a machine all wrapped in the personality of a golden retriever. He has the attention of every girl on campus, but there’s one thing he shockingly doesn’t have: experience in the bedroom. Me: I’m taking a gap year, working at this small-town coffee shop while writing the novel I’ve always dreamed of. Jamie’s here almost every day, with a blushing smile and the yearning gaze of a hopeless romantic. No matter how often I give him the cold shoulder. After a kiss that rearranges my brain, I make a proposal: I teach him what to do in bed, while he helps me work out some of the tension caused by my writer’s block…”

I kiss him to stay alive. His hands are violence, yet they hold my daughter like she matters. I promise myself this is temporary. Fake. Necessary. But safety turns into longing. Protection becomes possession...”

I know exactly how fragile everything is. Connor Wells was the one risk I couldn’t calculate. One reckless Christmas night turned into something that felt too big, too permanent—so I ran before he could be the one to leave me. Now he’s my next door neighbor. Older. Steadier.

When she lands full-season access to document Meridian Racing, she knows exactly what she’s walking into.
