Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon released today! She wrote The Ex Talk- I read and loved that one so hoping this is another hit!
YAY!!!! I’m adding it!! 😀
Maryse are you still reading Still Beating? I started Lotus last night and I’m already hooked. I may like it even better than that one!
I am just finishing Still Beating. There are some nice twist at the end so it is not completely predictable. Have you gotten to the dog adoption? I love it.
I finished SB and now I’m on Lotus. Loved the dog adoption!
Mony had me at Torin.
So many good recommendations today!
LOL. Just finished it. Fabulous book. Raw, intense, emotional, sexy, witty, some banter, romance and love, with a dirty doctor thrown in. 🙂 Oh, and awesome writing. Was a 5★ for me.
Dear Edward sounds amazing!! I love plane crash survival stories. On the Island and Girl Underwater were perfect! Anyone knows any other books like that? (besides Surviving Raine, I dind’t like that one)
Unseen Messages by Pepper Winters was another good plane crash story.
Another good book I read was Back in Black by Julie Kriss
About Ben, an edgy dirty-talking lawyer who dresses like a biker, and Charlotte, a smart & beautiful woman who needs his help to get her brother out of jail, and will do almost anything to convince him. 🙂 Ben is the magic in this story. 4-4.5★
Oh, and will be reading Triple Threat by K Webster. Her first two books in that series were great. PNR, reverse harem.
Just read an ARC for Pack Darling Two and I’m in love with this series. The author read everything the readers told her a wrote an amazing ending. I still hope I will convert one of you ladies to my sweet omegaverse addiction!
Maryse, I was just remembering one of your long time blog family, who hated covers with big muscles, bare chest and just didn’t leave anything for the imagination. I am noticing now so many covers with bright covers and a very clean almost child or YA look. Not to say I don’t like it but it now seems so many authors are changing their trademark look.
It’s one of those “going with the latest trend” things, which I feel is a modern take on romance today. Like I actually love those deep, provocative/evocative, yet subtle covers like… lemme think:
Fingersmith: https://www.amazon.com/Fingersmith-Sarah-Waters-ebook/dp/B0026NBZDU?
Beautiful Nightmare: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Nightmare-Giana-Darling-ebook/dp/B09JLKHJWH?
Shattered Chords: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097W3DN92?
Impossible to Forget: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z74PMS2?
There’s just an ethereal quality to them… I love them.
I absolutely loved Skye Warren’s Rochester trilogy. Such poetic writing along with a healthy dose of suspense. And not to mention the steam factor which is off the charts!!
I just finished it last week and I loved it! Definite steam factor! I also enjoyed the suspense!
