Latest Romance Book Releases – 06-14-2022

Okay so… since I missed “THREE THINGS” yesterday, I’m going to do it now… and you’ll understand. LOL!

1.) I got a puppy this weekend. 2 months old and equally 100% adorable and obnoxious. Now… I’m used to MinPins (Miniature Pinchers – looks like a mini Doberman – so think a few pounds as a puppy – and max – at least mine – 10lbs as an adult) but my boyfriend loves BIIIIIIGGGG DOGS. So we have 2 senior MinPins (mine) and now we have a 20lb half Mastiff x Great Dane brand new baby puppy. Yeah… this is interesting. He will eventually get to 150lbs or more…

2.) While I have puppy experience (3 of 4 of my MinPins in my life were puppies, I’ve got NO big dog puppy experience, and this “baby” is giving me a run for my money. He loves me though… always has to have me in sight.

3.) I’m exhausted. My MinPins are not too sure about this at all (though they seem to be doing better with him today). Sorry. To my fellow readers, this cray-cray puppy and my boyfriend. And my MinPins. LOL!!! 😂

Okay now to start today’s BIG NEW RELEASE list…

BLURB JOLTS: Beyond the Moonlit Sea <— definitely this!!! The blurb is so much better than what I can bring here, but let’s try! HER PILOT HUSBAND DISAPPEARS… “…When a shocking discovery shows Olivia’s and Melanie’s paths are intertwined, it casts Dean’s disappearance in a new light. The two women’s strange connection threatens to unlock secrets that will change everything…” Pause (this is actually a bargain find by one of my fav authors – she wakes from a coma and meets the stranger that saved her!!)
